    • @WSlopeAggie
      @WSlopeAggie Год назад +101

      Dude's probably one of the best metal drummers right now. Sure, others are faster. Others hit harder. But ii is dynamic and groovy as fuck, something you don't really find anymore. Not to mention his pocket is d e e p, I've never seen him lose time. And he has so many genres in his bag of tricks, only adding to his dynamics. He can go from a headbanging breakdown to some nasty-ass funk in a split second.
      Edit: Forgot to mention his fills. Never out of place, yet show off his insane chops. Unlike some drummers. El Estepario Siberiano comes to mind here, his short-form drumming is very show-offy and doesn't really show his groove that much. Same goes for his older stuff. His new covers are fire though.

    Well fucking done, Nik. Sleep Token has to be one of the hardest bands to make an 'in the style of=' song of because they're so weirdly unique and you can listen to 5 songs and hear so many different things so it's hard to pin them into a single genre never mind one specific style (which is part of what makes them so fun to listen to) but you nailed it.

      Sleep Token is not a unicorn. Don’t h get me wrong, I like what they’ve put out. But other “unique” bands that paved the way before people crowned Sleep Token: 12 Foot Ninja, Mr. Bungle/FNM, Glassjaw, Periphery, Tool, TesseracT, and many more.
