As a drummer, this takes years and years and years and years of practice, alot of people stare in awe at drummers but the ability to coordinate multiple limbs is something that takes alot of hard work and practice, his level of drumming is inspiring. Loved your reaction
HE HAS A DOUBLE-KICK FROM ANOTHER UNIVERSE!!! Thank you again for turning me on to new music. I've never heard a more EXPRESSIVE drummer than II. Just WOW!
The Warning quarantine show, you'll love it. It's like watching them practice in the basement. It's a long show, I'm sure you'll smile until the show ends
I've watched this whole thing a couple times already. Dude comes across as being very insightful and introspective. His drumming is dope. Knows where to take the groove of a song.
One of the other non obvious things I love about this interview is how he speaks. He’s so calm and every word he choses has intention. He lives and breathes drumming. I’m seeing them tomorrow night in Boston and I CANNOT WAIT.
Great reaction Ashlena. ii is just incredible!! So freakin talented, it's insane!!..and not long now, you'll be worshipping very very soon!! 😁 Exciting times ahead girl!! Please vlog if you can 🫶🏻
I was recently watching Sleep Token's live show at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado and it was a great show but the person who recorded it hardly showed 2 at all, so I appreciate the focus being on him here. I recently started listening to another metal band from London called Confessions of a Traitor that's a metalcore band and they are really good too, I didn't even realize they were British until I heard the vocalist talk in a few songs.
Ashlena!! Yaaaaay!! You did it 🎉 Aside from his amazing drumming and making it look effortless, what always makes me drool is how well spoken and eloquent he is. Every time you hear these songs, you will now picture these performances, until you see them live and then it’s even worse of an addiction. So happy you get to see them, I’d love to see you give us your thoughts after their show maybe in a short video or day after. Thank you so much for doing this, I jammed with you every step of the 57 minutes #WORSHIP 🔥 Now I’ll stop nagging you 😂😂
Not gonna give away any of the songs from their “Teeth of God” tour but buckle up! It’s the most epic set they have done yet! Wish they were playing near me 😭
Awesome, you almost wrapped up all but most ST songs i'm guessing, next i would recommend a band who are simply spectacular PORCUPINE TREE, their discography is pretty large, but you can start from anywhere, musical they are in an whole new level, give it a try and see for yourself,..
I drove 4 and a half hours to see them in Pittsburgh and it was an amazing experience. Unlike any concert ive been too,which was only rock/metal and country. Vessel somehow sounds better live. Also, my wife, who didn't really know them besides 2 songs, is a fan now and said that she wouldn't of skipped any songs on their setlist, so a huge win for me lol.
I definitely will! Also not sure if this is helpful but every show I’ve ever been to at this venue always had tickets at will call the day of even id it was “sold out”
because of this video from drumeo i became a huge fan of Sleep Token. "II"`s work on the drums are insane. He`s the first drummer i have seen who play`s his kit like a piano. Great band, great lyrics and great music. Thank you ashlena for another enjoying Sleep Token reaction. I can see how you love them. Also great to see you again :) One of the most lovely and professional youtuber out there .. and also a very beautiful woman. if i could, i would date you directly :)))))
Helllooooo. Lol. Just finished dinner clean up. Perfect timing woman!! This song is definitely one of my favorites and I think the second song (Vore)I heard after Eden. Weeeeee!! 🖤🤘
Definitely check out the Drumeo video of The Summoning but even that won't prepare you for how amazing it is live. I just attended the Red Rocks show as my first ritual and it was absolutely incredible. The kick drum hits so hard you feel it in your soul.
Other drummers have touched on IIs style but never fleshed it out fully. II brings me to tears (as a drummer). The SPACE between beats is more vibrant, emotional, mysterious, foreboding, bombastic, emphatic, creative (I could go on) and II is a Master. Plus, you have to be in PERFECT control of your timekeeping to do this correctly. This is why you do not hear the majority of drummers do this. You play too early, the music is ruined, you play to late (in the spaces between beats), just stop playing. If you play without dynamics and passion, it all falls flat. Vessel II is my musical hero. May 27 2024 at Massey Hall is fast approaching and I have two small packs of Kleenex ready for all of the tears of euphoria and permanent appreciation. ST is burned into my DNA.
"It's like he's orchestrating" Any good drummer is supposed to do that. I'll add "rhythm section" to that. The backbone of any good band is the rhythm section. You can have sexy melody and harmony. But with no backbone you are just a weirdo singing in your shower. We orchestrate while a pretty lady or man gets all the credit. Thank God for a band like sleep token where the lead singer is faceless. So people can stop looking and start listening.
Now you've done it! Worship!!!!!! This is what got me into Sleep Token. I witnessed this first and said? What kind of badassery is this? Oh i found out real quick. Will watch your full video when back from work. Mr "ll" " we love you.
@@ashlenamusic Its Impossible to describe. As i say as well as you say here...its one thing to Hear the music...but to see Mr ll" play it? it is all the more reason to enjoy what you may have missed when you see him Jam? Its like the music gets better ? SO blessed to be alive to Witness this band. Much Love to all.

Appreciate that! And I bet. I could never haha
This band has given me hope for future musicians. Especially myself. To think beyond and do more than what's expected.
HE HAS A DOUBLE-KICK FROM ANOTHER UNIVERSE!!! Thank you again for turning me on to new music. I've never heard a more EXPRESSIVE drummer than II. Just WOW!
Omg you’ll forever remember me introducing you to sleep token. My night has been made
The Warning quarantine show, you'll love it. It's like watching them practice in the basement. It's a long show, I'm sure you'll smile until the show ends
Go Worship!!!
Was waiting for this one!! I can only imagine your reaction... Btw I just seen them in Philly on Monday... Amazing
Hope you enjoyed it!
I could watch ii play alkaline all night. Chilllllllsssssssss on them cymbal grabs every time.
It’s so good
Nice to see you got around to this Ash, this is my favorite reaction of sleep token, I could watch II drum all day
Wow, thanks! And yeah I could watch him drum all day haha
I've watched this whole thing a couple times already. Dude comes across as being very insightful and introspective. His drumming is dope. Knows where to take the groove of a song.
He seems like such a cool dude
ii has a drum playthru for the SUMMONING on drumio. Just came out a couple months ago. It has the live solo in it. Hint hint 😉

Tonight I'm going to bed ;-) have a good day 😀
Good night
Just saw them last night at Radio City Music Hall and it was incredible 😭
Ahhhhh amazing!!!

He beats like he holds a grudge.
Yet he’s so calm when he speaks
tony royster jr is a gospel drummer, he was a child prodigy

That’s amazing!!!! I wish my husband liked them 😫
@22:50 Ladies and Gentleman. Worship"
I just saw Sleep Token at Radio City Music Hall, they were fantastic. I'm uploading a video if you would like to see some of the performance.
Omg yes please!!!!
@@ashlenamusic th-cam.com/video/qMn_Pe4t2JQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oBcnbZPqZ244rL5K took a while to process lol
Omg you did the whole show!!! Ok I don’t want to spoil it so I’ll watch it after I see them on Tuesday haha I left a comment on your channel xx
50:04 yes you know because I said you in the reaction of on Hypnosis🤣🤣
Great Drumeo showcase...but can this drummer sing like Paulina at the same time?! ☮❤🤘
Doubtful lol but I could listen to him talk all day
There is nothing simplistic about his drumming. Just saying.
Nothing at all. Just sound simplistic in the heavier parts
SO jealous you are seeing them here in Toronto! I wasn't able to get tickets fast enough :( But I hope you post at least a VLOG video.
I definitely will! Also not sure if this is helpful but every show I’ve ever been to at this venue always had tickets at will call the day of even id it was “sold out”
