Great reaction! I was fortunate enough to see them live at the beginning of the year and II does an incredible drum solo during the interlude. He does little changes here and there to the drumming on all of their songs when they perform live. Always sounds so good. These guys are masterful.
Highly recommend checking out II’s Drumeo interview and play throughs. The live version of The Summoning, he also adds in a kick ass drum solo. Also, he has many other offerings that are mind melting 🫠🤯and jaw dropping😮💨😲
I’m really glad you found ST cause your reactions are amazing. The drummer (ii) is literally my favorite drummer. He took the thrown from my now second favorite drummer Matthew McDonough from Mudvayne. You nailed it with his drumming. Just down right simple fills but mastering it and knowing when to use them just makes his drumming criminal. Please go down the ST rabbit hole. These guys are genre bending and lyrically sound. Check out their lore as well. Helps understand the songs. I’m here for it! You play ST songs the fans will get you to 10,000 followers, no doubt 😁. Worship!!!!
Huge Sleep Token fan here! If you react to anything ST I’m here for it. From a drummers perspective the drumeo interview with the drummer is amazing and probably a few videos in itself. Also, when they play The Summoning live they use the transition at the end of the song to allow the drummer to jam out a sick solo.
3:35 This is the exact reaction everyone needs to have in this moment and I feel like it’s overlooked in every other reaction video. I adore you for this. 👏🏼
ive been binging sleep token react videos and im stoned af but this is the first time i subscribed to a such a channel, your reaction made me so giddy fo some reason 😭 cant wait for your next ST reactions! i hope you react to more tracks before doing the drummer's drumeo video so you dont get spoiled 🫶
The drummer ( II ) is worth watching and you can find plenty of him on you tube including his full set with drumeo which was nearly an hour or his “offerings” which you can find on the sleep token you tube page as well - all amazing to watch him drum. Check them out even just for yourself but I would for sure be here to watch you react to ANY Of it.
Worship" Sleep Token is a different breed. “Life is dark. Life is bright. Life is ugly. Life is beautiful. Don’t get lost in genres, they’ll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone.” -Vessel 2017
anytime brother. Thank you. witness the drummer mr ll" ? Mr 2 i call him? ah who knows..hes awesome i know that. I first witnessed him on Drumeo channel right? i was like? this gotta be same ole screamo new metal kids? Oh man was i ever wrong!!!!! Been worshipping ever since
Check out ii's drumeo vids!!! He's amazing, his drumming style just blows my mind. ST are insanely talented, their vocalist, Vessel is just breathtaking. Please continue on with their journey. Its a roller-coaster but 💯 worth it. Subscribed 👍
Bro gotta say, one of the best reactions I've seen so far. I don't know if you're in for the whole sleep token ride, but i promise you they didn't miss not even a single song from the whole 3 albums. At least hear the Take Me Back To Eden album, and if you want to hear the best of II (the drummer) check the Drumeo videos with him called "offerings", this dude is even scarier when you see what he's actually doing with those drums
You should do the drum playthru of this song next. Hes changed it since the studio recording. And added a drum solo in the empty section for live shows. Hes got such tasteful fills and writing
Please react to more Sleep Token. Every song takes you on a different journey. I believe you talked about how much you like Tool, in the beginning of the video. For me Sleep Token is like a new Tool. You never know where any song is going, they'll make you headbang then they'll make you cry. And I agree with one of the commenters. You should check out drumeo. II, the drummer, was named Drumeo's drummer of the year for 2023.
I freaking love your reactions. Tool and Sleep Token are my favourite bands so you’ve got it covered for me. Your drumming analysis sets you apart. Can’t wait for the next one.
Subbed for Sleep Token! Can't go wrong with any of their songs. Best to start at the very beginning with Thread The Needle and go all the way to the end (Euclid). The whole discography tells a story. Enjoy the rabbit hole!
OMGGG!!!? I just finished watching!! Uggggh!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 ii was definitelyyy named Drummer of the year for last year by Drumeo for a reason! Also : 'Take me back to Eden' Sleep Tokens latest album was named Album of the year at The Heavy Music Awards 2024 a couple of months ago! 🤩 You should definitely go down the Sleep Token Rabbit Hole just like you did with Tool.. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.. They literally do not have one bad song.. Also, before your next reaction, I suggest you look up the 'Lore' of Sleep Token, it's so beautiful.. (ohh and you should definitely check out the live version of 'The Summoning' ii has a Drum Solo in it at all of Sleep Tokens Rituals when they play it live! You're gonna LOVE it!!, the best video to watch of it is on the First Row Concert channel) I suggest 'Ascensionism' (which is literally one of the best songs I have ever heard in my life) next or 'Take me back to Eden'.. (Calcutta, Jericho, Jaws and Ascensionism are my favourite ST songs).. But uggh, their entire discography is just sooo good!! Thank you so much for reacting to them! It has literally made my day! #Worship
So for drumming you gotta check out Hypnosis and The Night Does Not Belong to God. Very different tunes but both are amazing at showcasing II's drumming. He also has an amazing set of Drumeo vids. He plays a standard 5 piece DW with Istanbul Cymbals, 10 OF THEM lol. And he needs it, looks like a tarantula playing with all the cymbal work. Got a sub from me, can't wait for more.
Joining on your sleep token journey. Hope you check out the drumeo performances! You should also check out Aviations. Amazing drummer. My drummer friends all say they enjoy Aviations more than Sleep Token. If you check them out, check out Coma. Seems to be their favorite.
Dude if someone hasn't told you yet. The drummer did a Drumeo for this song and puts in a drum solo in the ambient part of this song. Here's the vid. Even if you don't react to it its worth watching. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dh6IgOxDhcE.html.
For some more multi-genre goodness, check out "We Got the Moves" or "Hypa Hypa" by Electric Callboy. Also, that pumpkin is pretty awesome & I'd love to know where you got it.
Subbed! Really enjoyed this reaction 👏🏻 Please watch II's Drumeo performance of The Summoning. And the rest of his Drumeo videos. And his offerings from the official Sleep Token channel. Any II content is just fvcking peak content. Do it for yourself if not for us in the comments 😂 worship 🫶🏻✨️
