This is beyond cool.
The masked musicians in Sleep Token have taken the world by storm in 2023. Hot off the release of their album Take Me Back To Eden, Sleep Token has been selling out shows all over the world, all while maintaining an exceptional level of anonymity. No band member has ever done any form of recorded interview, until now.
The popular drumming-based website Drumeo has been steadily growing over the last few years thanks in part to its constant big-name features, as well as its easy accessibility for one to better their drumming. I personally have used Drumeo lessons to build better playing habits, as well as teach myself proper rudiments. Most notably, Drumeo has featured Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith in a recent series of YouTube videos, the most popular of which sees Smith blindly playing along to “The Kill” by 30 Seconds To Mars. This morning, (Dec. 19), fans of both drumming and Sleep Token were treated to another special Drumeo feature.
II is one of the founding members and the current drummer of Sleep Token, making a name for himself with his unique blend of styles throughout the Sleep Token catalog. Now, fans can really dive deep into the musicality that makes II who he is, as he sat down with Drumeo for the first ever recorded interview by any Sleep Token member. With his face covered and his voice distorted, II talks about what styles influence his playing, his favorite drummers, and his favorite Sleep Token songs to play live.
In addition to the interview, II also plays through a bunch of the Sleep Token catalog including songs like “Vore”, “Alkaline”, “Atlantic”, “Chokehold”, and more. If you’re a fan of music you’ll dig it, and if you’re a drummer you’ll REALLY dig it. Check. It. Out.
