    The thing about 2 is that NONE of his movements are wasted with flair or any fanciful waffle. He's precise, accurate, intelligent and extremely watchable. I love his playing and I adore Sleep Token. Seeing them at the O2 in London in December. I cannot waaaaiiiiitttt!!!

    I wanted to give you a very sincere thank you. I've played woodwinds all my life and have very basic music theory education, so I have an understanding of chords and music structure, but percussion is completely foreign to me. I've been fascinated by II's drumming and have watched so many videos to try and understand why it sounds so good and so different from other drummers that I've heard. I've heard people talking about the sound of the snare drum or ghost notes, but I have never truly UNDERSTOOD what they meant.
    You explain things in such a way that I can understand what's happening and it's given me an even deeper appreciate of II's drumming ability (and honestly all drummers, idk how y'all keep track of all your limbs!) You going back to the ghost note and pointing it out so we know where to look and what to listen for is so helpful! I was also in marching band so the way you explained the tone of the snare as having a marching band tonality to it is what helped make it click for me lol. This whole time I was just like... it... it sounds like a snare... what am I missing?
    So truly, thank you :)

    I use the same brand of cymbals as II and many in his kit are from Istanbul Agop's Xist Dry Dark series. Believe it or not, Xist is Istanbul Agop's value series but I'd put them up against many lines from the bigger boys. That moment where you thought he was going to the China, he's using the 19-inch Xist Dry Dark Crash, which is my favorite of the bunch. It's washy enough to be a crash, yet gritty and staccato enough to for breakdowns and other syncopated parts. Highly recommend that whole line of cymbals.

    Hey bro, your react was great, a lot of reactors don’t add anything to the conversation but your discussion of the unlathed cymbals and his drumming was insightful! I just have one suggestion for your videos, which is to grab yourself some rgb room lights (some lamps with Phillips hue like bulbs) to just set some colour in the drum room instead of the normal room lights, the camera angles and quality are great but the standard white room light looks a bit basic, switch the cover videos to use these as room lights instead and it will look more pro and only cost like

    I was wondering something about those cymbals. You touched on the difference between lathed vs. unlathed, but I notice some of them have big holes drilled into them, and some of them look like they were hammered from the underside. I've never seen that before. I assume (complete layperson here) that it effects the sounds they make, but could you explain it?

  • @darikmoore6023

    Have you listened to obkatiekat's "Contraband" feat. Futakuchi Mana? It is her best song imo, and even if you don't cover it in a video, I would recommend giving it a listen if you haven't already. Keep it up with the great videos!

    I have 2 understanding of what he means:
    1 e & a
    r l k r this is the first and the second is
    1 e & a 2

      Yes. It has to be formatted this way to accommodate for playing back to back triplets in a 4/4 timed song.

    • @coversandcommentary
      @coversandcommentary  2 месяца назад +3

      My best guess is that they're going for a religious/cult vibe. So they call it an "offering"

    • @aprilkasten
      @aprilkasten 2 месяца назад +1

      All of their performances are called rituals and each piece is an offering. Part of why they wish to remain anonymous is because they wish for their music (offerings) to be the focus instead of themselves.
