- In this video I am doing a reaction to the INSANE drumming ability of Anonymous II of Sleep Token, as he plays, Hypnosis. The drumming showcased here is absolutely astounding, mesmerizing, and well... HYPNOTIC! I give my insights into his playing, musicality, as well as my overall impressions of the song. I am going to do a drum cover to a Sleep Token song in the future so this video provided me with a good point of reference for my case study of this remarkable band! If you enjoyed the video please, like, comment subscribe, and share! I look forward to chatting with you all!

I expected the copyright claim, but my video is also partially blocked. Hopefully the majority of you can at least see the video. Also, another fun fact. If you are super early to the video right after I post it, then you are watching the SD version, because the high definition processing takes awhile on RUclips's end to finish. On a happier note, this was some of the best drumming I have ever seen!
Glad I got to it early. Day made. DrumLion, you legend..thanks brother.
Lion. Thanks for the insight and reaction to this. Just noticed tonight that you were able to get to this. Really appreciate this Lion. What I love about this is the feel, the fills and the filthiness. Great video. Ty again. 🤘🦁🤘
Have you checked out Aric Improta ever? Start with “Copper Wasp” play through. If you continue watching his stuff, you’ll see many things never done as a drummer before.
My man! Nice review of II's drumming on this incredible Sleep Token song. I'm not a drummer so I watch actual drummers review bands/songs I like and you're the only one who captured the similar amazement that I had from this song in general and II's drumming. You said it best with the 4/4 beat with 4 of them being a section: us non-drummers KNOW what's coming and even us non-drummers can listen and know that II is doing something special. You actually know what he's doing, but you were still as amazed as I was. Only reviewer I've seen do it so far. Great vid.
this drummer can show off without it feeling out of place, he's truly one of the best in this generation.
That describes him perfectly
would love yo see him and Matt from AAL play a game of Drummer Horse
I always say: less is more, but this guy is the exception to that rule. Even though his playing is pretty complex and technical it never sounds like it's overdone. What an exceptional band.
My drum teacher taught me very early on that it’s what you don’t hear that creates the beauty in drumming. He illustrated this quite simply by showing me a blast beat and then essentially the same thing but syncopated, with ghost beats and so on.
His "constantly filling in the pocket" style has been frying my brain since the day Jaws came out. Incredible musician.
Vessels voice is so strong and unique that I don't have fear of God tier drums taking away from it.
what's even crazier is this drummer was a session drummer before sleep token, they've only done a single interview WAY back in the day but it's never been revealed how all these musicians came together because the guitarist and bassist aren't exactly big names in the scene, same with vessel, he had one band that I could find before this and it didn't make any real waves like ST has. The fact these little known musicians came together and became one of the most talked about artists in the scene the past few years is insane and I love it. I hope they don't get tired of making sleep token tracks because I want to hear anything and everything they put out for years to come.
this is super interesting! i believe the power of social media, and just internet connectivity as a whole makes it easier to bridge the gap with finding musicians to play with. whats remarkable is the amazing abilities of everyone that has managed to also display surreal amounts of musical chemistry. its really awesome.
Well, most of the greats started as complete nobodies...
As for how they're so good, i think they decided to truly master their craft before releasing music seriously...
And by they, i mean Vessel and (II) since they're the ones who write everything (mostly Vessel since he can play everything apart from the drums)...
They're also the only two official band members, while the rest are touring members.
But yeah, ST is fucking amazing and they're only getting started.
Who's the drummer?!?!?!
@@PakmaniaFAMAdam Peddler. His last project was called Belial.
Do tell what band vessel was in before? I’d love to hear the before and after lol.
I saw them live a bit ago at a small venue and during drum solos vessel would basically leave the stage to give 2 his own space. I love that kind of stuff because every piece of a band is so critical to it's success
Thats just straight up awesome
Vessel II is the only other permanent member and writes everything with Vessel I. Both create an extremely tight-knit bond and it shows in the music.
@@CrzyWzrd4L awesome information!
@@CrzyWzrd4L I think III has now joined permanently as well. We love III!
@@xfrostyresonance8614 III and IV are now permanent members but Vessel and II still take on all the writing duties. For a while there, IV was like 3 different people.
Yes, II is absolutely amazing, BUT listen to the album version with Vessel's vocals and you will know why the drums do not steal the show after all. ;)
Such an awesome drummer. Precise like a sniper but so swinging and loose as well
The feel is an unspoken blueprint for what's happening in the song.
That's a bar man
haha thanks bro! feel free to use it when you explain to others as well.
Hypnosis is such a unique song in that the name aptly captures the entire feel of the song. The vocals are low, drawn out and carried almost like a hummed lullaby followed up with a captivating musical section.
When I listen to this song I often just close my eyes and let my body go in the vibe and atmosphere. It's captivating and hypnotic like a dream sequence. These guys are amazingly talented musicians and I am saddened to have discovered them so late.
I listened to this song quite a bit after uploading this video, and I agree. It does have a way of lulling the listener. Its quite nice
I'll take an offering by Sleep Token anytime, and I don't care how.... pause... it sounds.
ST got me through 2020 ... Vessel's voice is amazing, and Vessel II's drumming is insane - their music really shows off his talent. Worship
Im definitely blown away by them!
First off, I love to hear a percussionists confirmation on what my ears have told me for year “II” is a beast 😂. But when you said you have the feeling he may be stealing the show even if the vocals were there, you are correct (and they have an amazing vocalist), The Offering, High Water, Jaw….. really all their songs, his work stands out. Really amazing drummer
Im glad someone else was able to affirm what i felt here. Ive been listening to them quite a bit since I made this video, and as incredible as the vocals are, the drumming stands out just as much
So glad you found II! He's my favorite drummer out there right now. The man is an absolute beast.
And i can definitely see why!i absolutely love how hes playing to "feel" and not to just some blueprint.
@@DrumlionMusic exactly! He feels his way through the songs so beautifully and flows through the fills so effortlessly. As you said in your video, oftentimes he overshadows the rest of the music.....until you hear Vessel sing. I'd love to see a reaction to the song Jaws.
we not gonna talk about the power of that left hand
Man you should see them live the the drummer and the bass player completely steal the show . The amount of just pure grove the put into the performance is crazy
i can already imagine it happening exactly as you stated!
His drum style is very nice to watch. So effortless
100 percent!
II is such a freak behind the kit!!! Easily one of my fav drummers rn.
I absolutely agree with you! The vocals from vessel are astounding, but I'm many times blown away more by 2's drumming!
There's so much feel in his drumming its very difficult to emulate it
definitely my favorite band ive found,go deep with it you won’t regret it. worship
II is a beast. Saw ST live a few months ago and they don’t disappoint. IMO his playing really complements the vocals. You should definitely check more of their catalogue out.
I definitely intend to! Im glad you got to have this experience too!
I read a comment somewhere online that accurately describes the dynamic between Vessel and II: if Vessel’s vocals are the soul of Sleep Token, then II’s drumming is the beating heart.
@@jessicar5748 after listening to them more and more i like this analogy... It definitely fits
II is a beast. If they are not doing a North American tour in 2023 I am flying to see them. vocals, drums, lyrics, they are my favorite band discovery of the year
@@alexthefossilguy2754they are. You can find the locations on their website.
ii (the drummer) is such an amazing drummer.
Not a drummer but love metal (and obviously ST). Enjoyed your analysis of this. Covered equipment, theory, had good insight/opinions….great job.
i really appreciate this! thank you!
II is crazy. just gorgeous drummer.
First things first: DrumLion thank you so much for the reaction. Appreciate that brother!! Wasn't even sure if you were familiar with Sleep Token😁. That drummer is on another level and between him and the vocalist they've got some huge presence. I get why some people struggle with them...they've got some pretty heavy songs, but do more pop sounding ones, and even ballads. They even did a cover of Wgitney Houstons I Wanna Dance With Somebody. They cover so many genres very well. I can't wait to see you cover them. Again, thanks so much!!
Absolutely bro! You know i got you. Im definitely impressed with that kind of versatility. And the fact they covered that song is something i gotta see!
Also covered Outkast's Hey Ya. Completely changed the feel of the whole song.
@@RippinWaxWithMo ok this i gotta see!
@Drumlion Music no drums though...all piano and vocals
Dude, so psyched you got to this! I always learn something new or pick up on something I never noticed before because of your perspective and experience, so thank you for sharing that so often with us. As a sucker for tasty hi hat work, ghost notes, and groove, ST ticks all the boxes for me and II is just something special that doesn’t come around often in my book. It’s that feel you pointed out that elevates him. There’s a distinct difference between playing a song and feeling a song, and those differences have a major impact on the end result for the listener. You can’t fake feel. It’s an intangible that is often conflated with something innate or given, when the reality is that feel can only come as a result of putting in hours upon hours on the kit. Period. To me, feel is earned and developed, and it’s easy to spot the ones who attained it because, well, they play like this. It’s a subject I could go on forever about, but I’ll spare you the full proverbial sermon to the choir, haha. Thanks again for the amazing insight! Can’t wait to see your cover when it’s done!
This comment is just beyond awesome! You worded the concept of "musical feel" perfectly my friend!
I love watching drummers watch II’s play throughs. The stank face at ever fill is priceless. There are a couple other play throughs you need to check out. And listen to the full versions too. Vessel’s voice is just as hypnotic and the drums and grooves.
Welcome to the Sleep Token rabbit hole.
Haha the stank face happens so subconsciously too! And ive been going through their catalog too! You're right about his voice, holy shit...i find myself going back and just re-listening to tracks, which is slowing down how fast im going through their songs lol
This dude is so tight in the pocket…bruh has definitely got that sauce sauce.
Precisely
Great breakdown 🤙
This is what using your ENTIRE kit looks like. Goddamn. His control is unreal.
I've watched several Drummers break down this song and you sir, by far, are the most eloquent and entertaining. You talk about so many different aspects others ignore, like the drummers personal style as an example. I appreciate you. Thanks for this great video. -Worship.
i really appreciate this. more than you realize
@@DrumlionMusic I was curious, are you going to be posting a video of you personally playing this song? I'm not a drummer but were I, the challenge sounds deliciously fun!
@@DeleriumLS eventually i do want to attempt this song yes
an absolutely great reaction..............
warm greetings from a german musician
Thank you so my friend!
Great reaction! :)
excellent work. Learn so much. Keep it up!
Take your time bro. I'm pretty sure the majority of us aren't going anywhere. Also, I just started the video but already, at 5:35 in your timeline I love how he didn't go for a crash or splash at the end of that phrase. He just kept it on the hi-hat. So many drummers would not have been able to resist hitting a cymbal on the last beat of that measure.
Youre right! Me included lol
i love watching reaction videos to songs i love and when there is an instrumental and someone can go in depth with it, it's just sooo wow ... ? guess i just love learning and listening to you explain all these drumming techniques and things is so beautiful . thanks for your passion with which you listen and analyse. nothing makes me happier than hearing someone talk about something they love and understand
I've never heard of Sleep Token. New band for me. Time to learn something new. I like the groove. And that snare tone🤘. Very cool breakdown. Can't wait for the drum cover. Have you ever tried playing anything from Infant Annihilator?
I haven't attempted Infant annihilator because that may be a tad above my skill level haha.
Love your commentary. It's great to hear the perspective of someone who knows what's going on. Entertaining and scholarly.
Well said. Keep it up
Nice reaction and I love your hair!
Great video thank you
Recently came across your channel Sir and having witness this drumming masterpiece...as a guitarist, this "feel" playing is soothing to hear. Gotta appreciate this level orchestration assault on the kit. Amazing work, also I appreciate your in depth explanation of gear used and honesty. Keep it up man 🤘
I like your insight on the song. It was the best as far as a drummer explaining why it sounds so good. Just subscribed and can't wait to see those Meshuggah videos!
So good! I love the sound of it! Thanks for sharing this. Metal horns up 🤘. Good energy to you and the channel.
Thanks so much my friend!
Thanks for acknowledging the ‘feel’ of his groove. It’s got soul. He definitely plays with it. Nice review brother
They're my favorite band, and your break down is excellent! You just earned a subscriber!
This means alot to me! Thank you so much!
I learned a lot from your analysis bro, great video!
Im so happy to hear this!
I’ve seen too many reaction videos. You’re the best one so far. You didn’t just experience the music but also explained everything perfectly. Even though I’m not a drummer or musician, I understand what you’ve said. Thanks for this great video.
Very informative video. I can't wait to see what you do next! And too, this grandma loves your hair style😊
Well thank you so much for your compliments! Very kind of you
Very nice! Song and breakdown. These videos getting better and better....I feel like, I actually know something about drumming now
Haha thats awesome to hear! Im glad for this!
Jeeze, just even listening to the snare from the guy's set was amazing! Such an incredible sound this guy has!
you aint lying bro!
II is a beast, all of his previous bands have been more speed, and blast oriented, so its nice to hear his ability to groove and sit in the pocket!!
i didn't know he had that kind of background! nice!
Gotta ask just because it's drive my brain mental.
Watching this, I noticed a few mannerisms that are similar to another drummer to a band I listen to.
By chance, does II's other more aggressive band start with an S?
@@biggusriggus7693 there is one band he did one ep with back in 2014 that starts with a S!
@@michaelpotrzuski5034 if it's who I think, then it's no wonder he's that good of a drummer. Thanks
This was a great reaction to run across as a recommendation in my feed. II is one of my favorite all time drummers, and Sleep Token definitely has my ears, head and heart as far as music goes.
II has it all: technical prowess, feel for days, musicianship
can totally see this video. I'm so glad you got around to reviewing II from Sleep Token...I just got turned onto them about a year ago, and it's a fantastic journey. Then, after appreciating it, I learned about just how unreal II is on the drums, and that kicked it up to 12 (from 11) to me. I love the way he plays his rides, and his tuning all around is *chef's kiss* - definitely recommend you check out more sleep token in your own time, even with such a busy schedule. Keep up the awesome technical reviews!
Thanks for sharing you experience and insight on Sleep Token! Im absolutely listening to more of them, and additionally STUDYING the drumming!
Just happened to stumble upon your channel (via this video lol) and thoroughly enjoyed your contribution to breaking down music on the drums side of things. I’ll for sure be checking out more 🤘 Cheers 🍻
So underrated! Dude is disgusting good! Bro would be funny if this is some drummer we all know! Awesome reaction bro!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
That would be something wouldn't it lol
Reminds me of Delta. Not just the mask, hoodie and DW kit but the movement. Could just be another alien lizard overlord showing us just how lame the rest of us are as well. Only the Shadow knows!
Dude. Keep going. Expand. All your videos, you can count me in. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks so much!! I really appreciate this!
Grest breakdown, i like when you explain the structure. Had never heard of these guys. Looked them up and they are playing in London in a month, might go check them out 🤙
Awesome! Im glad i could bring something new to you! If you end up going i want to know about it and what did you think
Very exciting and a huge breathe of fresh air to see a Drummer React Channel with Extremely High Levels of Audio and Video Production Quality. Not to mentions your precise and very knowledgeable insights when discussing your breakdowns. I guess I wouldnt expect less from a Guy who probably Mixes and Masters his owns Drummers :D. Amazing Production Quality all around. Subbed.
Thanks so much for your words! Im really glad that I was able to bring something to the video you enjoyed. The road to learning about production, video and audio, has definitely been a long one. And admittedly i am still learning so much about it. But one thing i can say, is that i will ALWAYS strive to improve and be better.
I loved your reaction ~ ii grabs you in immediately with his phenomenal effortless drumming 🫶
Vessel & ii ~ magnificent!!!
#1 Group creating ultimate music 🎶
🫶Worship
1st time watcher. my thoughts, excellent work overall. i know why you're a drummer, you can tell when you hum back the notes, you're tone def. lol. no biggie for a drummer and shows that you dont have to hear a tone to appreciate music. i LOVE that you listened to the WHOLE song. fade outs are key to finishing the feel of a song. great job. sub'd. 🤘😎
Definitely the most in-depth video I've seen on this version of song. Great break-down, appreciate. You're right though, his drumming is mesmerizing. I hope you've been able to check out the version with vocals too-awesome track.
Matt from Periphery also hits the cymbal like that!
This band makes my arm stand up every song. #worship
I started drumming a month ago and i love reactions like these where you give explaintions on the tiniest detail "Holy Shit" is right 😂
Hey dude just wanted to say, I'm glad your video stayed up or got put back up, this is how I believe reaction channels should be, I insta-subbed after your first pause and thoughts, you brought so much great commentary to the video, IMO this was extremely transformative and educational and most definitely should be considered Fair Use, definitely plan to watch more of your videos!
I only really know of them because of the Will Ramos cover, and that is a thing of beauty. The music and the vocals interweave perfectly in exactly the way you describe, those nifty fills are accents on some of the vocals, and the guitars poke out space for some drum groove while the vocals have a second, before it all slots together beautifully. They are absolutely mesmerising, since Will's cover I've listened to a bunch of their stuff and they are definitely unique. I didn't know they were UK based, which means I could probably get to see them at some pointr, lol. Great reaction as ever, I look forward to seeing how you tackle one of their tracks.
I actually followed up with the will Ramos cover after i made the video and needless to say i was extremely impressed! And you summed up the musicality perfectly!
You should hear their other music. It's wonderful. Would recommend Higher and High Water among their many amazing tracks.
@@GCLU Already on it my friend! And im loving it. Plus im learning some concepts that are helping me in my own drumming!
I watched this video a couple of times now and at 09:38 is a highlight for me😁. You know when you need the words, can't find them, and just laugh! Love it.
Lmao. Yep that's exactly what happened!
Hey, I'm late to the party, but just found this video (FYI: due to new Sleep Token music releases, your video popped up on my feed.) Not a drummer, but I love watching and listening to drummers and Hypnosis is my fav ST track. Just wanted to say I really appreciate this video and the way you talk about II's technique, his choices to rein it in on fillers and his whole set. He deserved the accolades. I learned a lot from you, even though I'm not a musician, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Will be checking out some of your other videos.
im really really glad you got something out of this! im definitely going to check out ST new song as well. Also welcome to the community!
These guys have so many bangers it's not even funny. The offering, the summoning, this one here, aqua Regia, and their newest one....which you need to check out called vore. They have soo much dynamic and melody to their stuff...sooo well rounded and on point. It's criminal how good they are
The drummer continues to be an absolute unit
"Ok I have thoughts... On that verse section.... HOLY SHIT!" - That's it my dude... That's honestly a very good thought... It is very deep and informative of you😂😂😂😂😂
For real tho I had the same thought on Vessel II's drumming😂😂
lmao! yep that pretty much summed it up for me 😂
Drummers that are busy up top are hands down my favorite. This dude is so high up on my list of favorites. I can watch him all fucking day. I'm really glad you finally got to react to this!!!
Drumming aside. When you listen to the version with vocals. My favorite part is when they turn the bass up in the mix during the last build up before the breakdown. It's perfect, these guys are something special for sure
I've been listening to their music and I really dig it!
Bro! You got that Viking look goin’! From one vet to another; It looks good on ya’ bro. I subscribed for sure.
I extend the biggest of welcomes to you my comrade-in-arms! And i appreciate your subscription and the compliment. As soon as i got my DD-214 i started working on this look lol
I've never heard of these guys before. Dude definitely plays on anther level tho. Great breakdown as always bro 👌
Thanks bro!
ii hugging his hands at the end is so cute
The playing is so crisp
I'm a year late to your channel and this video but Liked and Subbed cause ...Sleep Token... Kudos also from Atlanta Georgia..
these guys have been playing together for a long time, like from school-years
God tier
Lion!!! Thanks for the reaction. Much appreciated man. Just noticed you got to it the other day. Been super busy. But I’m great full you were able to react to it. Thanks for the insight and reaction. The feel, fills and filthiness is what got me. Plus I loved the kit. 🤘🦁🤘 Thanks again Drumlion
Good to hear from you my friend! I hope all is well! And Im glad you dig the reaction! I will be bringing more ST to the channel for sure!
@@DrumlionMusic Everything’s good here my friend. Hope all is well with you. I think this drummer has a jazz background. But idk. Can’t really express in words. Thanks again. Looking forward to seeing what’s on the way for drum covers. Best wishes.
@@guttergods8735 i was actually thinking about his potential background watching him play. With that much groove and pocket he clearly has a discipline outside of rock music. Could be jazz, funk, gospel chops, prog music etc
I love the hair style
Loved this take on this video, I don't know who II is, but I've been doing everything to learn his drum style to emulate it across all my work, and I just wanna know that level of drum writing/performing
hes so smooth but yet so technical. he definitely has a groove(pocket) based foundation. you can tell by his "chops".
Video is a tad old, so not sure if this will be read. But I'm glad this got recommended to me. Even tho I'm not a drummer, nor even a musician but I like to watch music reactions, especially of bands I enjoy. Most reactions aren't really reactions tho, but rather "Watch me listen to this song". This is a reaction. You listen to it, don't pause every second but add a lot of info when you stop the song. I really enjoyed learning more about drumming. Thanks for the good work!
Probably I don't know nothing about drumming and it's feel like you're talking to in a unknown lenguage to me,but I enjoy this video and learn some technical stuff through it 😌
Im glad to hear this! Thank you!
Could almost say it's hypnotizing
II is the best drummer in the business right now, and has been for a while.
Yessss! II is so damn good and Sleep Token as a whole is a killer band. Saw them live in October, my only complaint was that it was too short. 😅 Keep up the great work with the channel dude. 🤘🏽
Thanks so much my friend!
Two (the drummer) said in the drumroll interview that he actually writes alot of his parts to accent the vocals so alot of his fill work is very intentional. Super sick drummer, love his cymbal work
Hey, what's up kind sir.. Hope all is well first thing in regards to Vessel 2 he is an Amazing drummer he has this way of structuring his playing with kind of fooling the listener.. I watched this playthrough when it first came out last year.. I give 2 thumbs up on my end. Also both of their albums are Fabulous and Emotional in every aspect.. Good choice to the viewer for contributing to this request and the channel..💀🤘
This is very well said
wish my drums sounded like this
So, I have an extremely surface-level knowledge of drumming and its intricacies, but you mentioning the moongel dampening the toms and the fact that he doesn't dampen his snare clicked with me, because since I've been listening to them, I've always been saying how snappy the snare sounds in comparison to the rest of the kit. So that's pretty cool, thanks for teaching me something!
Im really glad for this! Sometimes I wonder if I just end up rambling, but its good to see some of what I say is beneficial to others
Not one to normally comment, but man your videos are great. I don't even play drums but you explain things in a way that are easy for the listener to digest. I see your channel taking off here soon! If you haven't had the opportunity yet, check out Matt Gartska of Animals as Leaders. Dudes on a whole other level of playing.
ruclips.net/video/bKJ7pTs_SOE/видео.html
Thanks so much for your words! I truly appreciate them! And Matt is going to be on this channel much sooner than you think...
ii has some nasty fills
The craziest thing is despite how incredible the drums are in this, it never overshadows Vessels vocals. Vessel is such a talented songwriter and vocalist that even with the vocals mixed in more to the track, there is never a point you hear his voice and aren't immediately pulled in. This song doesn't even have that many lyrics or a traditional chorus, mostly longer vocal runs by Vessel. And it's like that for most songs where ii is absolutely playing out of his mind, but you are never pulled away from Vessel and his vocals when he is present and it absolutely boggles my mind every time.
His drumming is part of the songwriting.
Worship.
I hope he does a playthrough for The Summoning"
