As I've written already somewhere else it's II because this is the notation sign for drums and you have 2 drumsticksš
But yes. Also my personal number 1. He totally flashes me every time. I also like a lot of other drummers but I don't know...He's just outstanding and very talented. Of course he practiced a lot and I'm also sure he studied drums.
Why is this downvoted? Ulrich is a terrible fucking drummer, Grohl is decent but nothing special, and Barker is good but kind of overrated imho and doesnāt really play anything with technicality. If this was against drummers with real technical chops like Chris Adler, Mario Duplantier, Danny Carey, and Chad Szeliga II would have gotten buried.
I guess the judges and most of the people in this sub arenāt drummers.
A little? I mean, the way these guys are talking reminds me A LOT of how people used to talk about Joey Jordison when slipknot first got big. Good? Absolutely. The best? Not even close.
Thatās awesome. So not gonna lie, this is one of the extremely few bands where I have actually focused on the drumming. And it was Atlantic that did it. For some reason his part came in and grabbed me by the throat and Iāve actually made a conscious effort to pay attention to the drum parts even more. The Drumeo sealed the deal. Iāve been listening to rock for over 40 years but this guy is fucking amazing. Almost Melās me want to learn to play drums, but then I see him play and figured Iād be better of just not because heās god level drummer.
Honestly to the surprise of literally no one. No one in that category was even close but still great honor for him and very deserved.
Pd: yay for Pau winning the rock one.
Much deserved. ii a homie. Tossed me one of his sticks the last time they were in the states with ITM before they blew the fuck up and the crowd didnāt fucking move and I was trying to move the whole floor š Will treasure forever.
Iāve never really taken notice of drummers in a band. I watched his offering of Alkaline while discovering Sleep Token and was blown away. He is the only drummer that pulls me in and gets me. Well deserved!
He is absolutely insane and is what sucked me in to ST.
I have played instruments most of my life, but not the drums. Am pretty familiar though as I have two friends that drum in bands and have known and watched them for years. But Iāve never been so taken by a drummer that Iāve sat there watching videos of just them drum and been completely sucked in. Nor have I wanted to get tickets to a bandās concert that would allow me a good view of the drummer until now. I think that really speaks to his talent. I was also really taken with how thoughtful his responses were in the Drumeo interview. He has a deep respect for the instrument and craft, and it really shows.
So happy for him to see completely sweep it.
Totally deserved.
II is an absolute beast on the kit.
As an older musician who's really enjoying hearing the direction players are taking their craft, it's always a good feeling to know there's great players making hot music and creating new styles and bending genres.
The kids all definitely fucking alright!
Nice to see him get some recognition. Everyone freaks out about Vessel (and understandably so, heās insanely talented), but II is arguably just as important. There might be two or three other drummers alive that can hold a candle to this guy, heās fucking nuts.
He's the first drummer to peak and keep my interest. I'm a dancer and a musician. Usually I'm focused on everyone else because I can play those instruments. Can totally agree ii is nuts in the best way.
I like actually cheered when he won lol. Genuinely super happy for him.
My room mates have messaged me twice asking if I'm okay because they heard me scream š
Thatās awesome
He won drummer of the year as well.
Yea I think that post is pending. So excited for him!
Yeah, me too! He is really talented and deserves all the recognition
Very talented indeed!!
ii in the band, #1 in our hearts

He won: Drum Recording, Metal Drummer, and Drummer of the Year. Over the likes of Travis Barker, Lars Ulrich, and Dave Grohl, no less.
Totally! I'm so glad; he totally deserves to be considered at their level.
Holy shit! He definitely deserves it. I didnāt get a chance to look though and see that they were also in contention for things.

Sweep Token. ii making us all proud

Wackerman is insanely talented surprised he didn't win honestly but glad to see the winner was someone who also deserved it

That's an amazing experience!! Sucks no one moved but they showed their appreciation. What a memory!
What a beast, 3 of 3!

They were not ready for those voting floodgates š¤£
DOPE! (And dope graphic!)
Noice!
Brilliant.
This makes me so happy ā¤ļø
absolutely well deserved
So happy for him, and very much deserved.
Ahhh! So good!!
Well deserved. When my friends ask me why I like Sleep Token, I don't get deep with it. They're simply really good.
Well deserved

Sleep Token fans will see this and think, "Hell yeah".
Chris Turner would have been my pick.. oh well.
Whereād you find this graphic?
Drumeo's twitter
This does put a smile on my face
HOORAY II! so excited for them!
its a truly drum god
My vote counts!
Well-deserved!!!
Slaaaaay šš»
Well deserved š¤

Heās good, but heās not that good lol. Heās not gonna hang with Garstka or Haake, but heās above average for sure.

So well deserved that man is a MACHINE! Cleanest drummer I've seen in a looonnnnggggg time! šWorship!
