Sleep Token II Plays "Dark Signs"

I was so happy when I discovered that II plays the electronic parts as well as the acoustic stuff and that it's not just programmed. And if you don't like the electronic parts, what the fuck are you doing listening to Sleep Token lol. Get over it already...

Dark Signs is SUCH AN UNDERRATED banger! Thank you Drumeo for gathering attention to that song! ❤

I really wish High Water was played. I'd love to see his drumming of that one.

I feel like the emphasis on this video is to showcase that even if you think the digital drums are just programmed, II will STILL proof that he can pull it off live! Everything he plays is live! Just like literally any other aspect of the songs they have! Sleep Token is a live band through and through and they are NOT afraid to show you!

The way this song builds up to that last heavy chorus with full band and ii playing on full kit is just glorious to be fair!

I hope II doesn’t read this comment section and see all the babies whining about this being boring. They’re the TikTok generation with attention span of 5 seconds who need something happening at all times. This video is art at its best. Such beautiful drumming and a minimalistic approach to mixing styles and music genres.

I love the seamless integration of digital and acoustic live playing. Not to mention when II hits a cymbal, he isn’t just hitting a cymbal, he is hitting THE only cymbal that would fit that moment in the music. The care put into the song writing process for the drum part is really evident in these live performances.

We are waiting ıı plays for the firs time

I absolutely love IIs buildup in the beginning, but I also love how in this song the beat doesn't over power Vessels voice but is almost the same tone and strength at parts. It's a chant. In a way.

Dark Signs is one of my favorite earlier Sleep Token songs! It's great to see this playthrough get a full video dedicated to it I love the clear EDM influences, which II cited in the full interview, coming through in this track. Imo, it's a feel that you really have to go out of your way to learn how to play and write as a drummer, since most programmed drum parts aren't written by actual drummers. II's ability to incorporate the electronics into the song and flow seamlessly into the acoustic part toward the end really shows how versatile of a player he is.

It may not be an intensely flashy and explosive drum part, but the flavor and precision are INSANELY good for a song as rich and complex as this one. If you thought it was boring, you missed the point.

Kudos to Drumeo for the fantastic atmosphere, also for bringing attention to more unconventional drumming.

I'm sitting here getting an oil change on my car with my headphones on, bobbing my head to II's amazing drumming. He's seriously a MASTER at his craft.

It's a good day when Drumeo posts a new video. It's an even better day when it's Sleep Token. Starting the week off right!

II is amazing. The entire band is. They are in my top 5 concerts ever, easy.

There is a reason he won the 2023 Best Drummer Award 💖

II Absolutely mesmerises me every time I watch him play

This is the most insane set of drums I've ever seen.🎉

Jaysus the control is just amazing!

I'm so obsessed with the way he plays, the control on this song (i LOVE this song btw..) is so mesmerising
