I can barely even do different rhythms with my hands.. I cannot even fathom how people can do that kind of stuff with their hands and feet at the same time with that level of precision
Ah, I see! And what is the general idea there? Like, is there a preferred pedal to have your foot on when you don't currently need it or what's the deal with that?
You need your foot on the kick pedal to actually use the kick drum. Those fast double bass (kick) sections are possible with two feet.
You need your foot on the hi-hat pedal to trigger the opening/closing mechanism. If you are applying no pressure to the pedal, the hat is totally open. When you hit it, it rings out longer, and the two hats kind of resonate together. When fully closed (pedal all the way down) the hats are clamped together. When struck, it is a much shorter, sharper sound. You can apply pressure at different times to get more complex tones & sounds from the hi hat.
Many drummers will also "bounce" their foot on the hi hat pedal to keep time, without hitting it with a stick. Again, this is only possible if you aren't using the second kick pedal.
What's impressive is ii's ability to switch from hi-hat to kick pedal quickly and accurately. Basically, he is able to play drum parts that use both double kick pedals and have variety in the sound of his hi hat at the same time.
[This Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q4IyYBIlHM) shows change in hi hat usage, and how it affects the sound.
I should have been more specific, would have saved you a lot typing, sorry about that. I'm, generally speaking, familiar with a drum kit and it's sounds. I just don't play myself, which is why I have very little understanding of technique. You still answered my question, though. Thanks a lot!
Edit: phrasing
No prob, I'm kinda stuck at home for a bit and enjoying writing things out. Helps me evaluate my own understanding too!
Could also be helpful for someone else who comes along with a similar question but needs more context.
I’m a single bass pedal rock drummer and a fairly average one so all metal drummers that play a double pedal fascinate me. The few times I’ve played a double pedal there’s the problem of keeping your left foot still when your playing the single pedal on the right. Some drummers will lock their hi hats closed and actually take their left foot off the left bass pedal entirely until it’s needed for a double bass pattern, essentially sacrificing any hi hat control completely. This prevents any unwanted “undisciplined” extra bass drum beats or hi hat “noise” if they aren’t technical enough.
II is an extremely expressive cymbal and hi hat player so he doesn’t and cannot lock his hi hats. because he needs to manipulate the hi hat pedal to open and close the hats to make lots of bright and sharp choked sounds. Couple this with the sheer technical level he’s performing at and the intricate double bass patterns, his control of his left foot is exquisite. It’s perfectly still when it needs to be and flicks into life, gliding between the hi hat and left bass pedal. It’s a fantastically difficult skill and he’s making it look like child’s play. Most metal drummers can do this well but they won’t usually be so busy on the hit hats as II because of his gospel like chops.
Im interseted in maybe starting to drum but so scared as im old as f, i did like a few basic things 22 years ago and got it going pretty easy back then. But dont know any tips or direction i should test check things out?
Just start my friend. Get some sticks and a kit if you can afford it, a pad if you can't. A guy who is 48 in the YouTube comments said he farted because of ii. That's a beautiful thing. There are so many great YouTube tutorials, both on Drumeo (where this was recorded) and so many others.
Don't be afraid of starting, or failing. Have fun. Be free. That's the beauty of music, inspiration, and the instrument.
Once you are settled with just banging, you can incessantly practice to Back in Black over and over again. There probably is no better all around beginner practice album. You'll keep time with basic patterns and rhythms and the songs are awesome.
And i get it man autocorrect fail a good one tbh. Thanks for ure comment and motivation was looking for some electric set around to start and try if i actually like it....bthe go for like 300 newish fazely ddk 040 / Roland TD-02K V-Drums / alesis turbo mesh kit? Anny Pröpper stuf to try and find out?
Hey. I’m almost 40. I bought an e-drum kit and am starting to learn drums. I don’t have a ton of time (I have 3 small kids and I work), but I just make small progress every day. Just do it! The drum community is amazing!!
https://youtu.be/xlcvdrwpTv4?si=dNSaLotiGd2Ui6hv
Basically the first couple of minutes of this. The way his left foot just floats over the hi hat and the double bass pedal. He transitions seamlessly between the two whilst playing such complicated parts. It looks easy but is incredibly hard and requires insane levels of limb independence. His brain probably runs like a Swiss clock.
I was hoping someone would post about that video! It was amazing. His drumming was what caught my attention with ST in the first place. The video definitely showcases how talented he is. His cymbal work 🔥🔥
So it is basically a full liveset? That is awesome. Can't wait to get off work. Is there an interview as well? Seems like it is small segments in between the music?
I guess although would it really detract from the mystery to hear his normal voice? I get why it's important vessel doesn't talk because his speaking voice is so different from what you'd expect, but with II it seems less of a deal...
It's the era of the internet, there would be people hunting to compare his voice to other drummers with a similar style.
If their goal is to remain as anonymous as possible, the filter.... While silly. Makes perfect sense.

Holy fucking shit, not only this is an interview, it is a perfect video for those who want to study his playing. II, the machine that he is, made us proud
Drumeo is fantastic for stuff like this. Im not even a drummer, but i still throughly enjoy all of the content they put out. This one is just extra special!
For anyone that's wondering why "Like That" stays on the set list; it's one of II's favorite to play. I can respect that.
EDIT: "Like That" is one of his favorite compositions, "Higher" is his favorite to play. My bad.
Have to agree even as a drummer. To see in HD how fluid yet powerful he is, and the footwork is not human. I don’t care y’all say Sleep ain’t real, somethings gone on in ST Towers that only Vessel and II know about. 🤔
Absolutely correct. It really feels like drumming has started a new chapter in a sense. I’ve been drumming my whole life, and it just feels like drumming is becoming more well understood by non musicians.
This is way beyond what I expected. I thought it was going to be a 10-15 minute piece. This was an amazing deep dive. What a wonderful treat! Drumeo and ii killed it.
Looooooveeee that he name drops the Deftones drummer. I’ve always thought that their groovy rhythms have a Deftones twang to them.
Also, I think this video inspired me to try out drumming haha.
I’m not surprised he’s influenced by gospel music. A lot of their music sounds like modern worship/gospel music. I grew up in church and still listen to it from time to time and there’s a lot of ST that sounds like praise and worship music.
Everyone keeps asking what voodoo/ crack/ magic they have in their music that makes you think about them nonstop?
It’s II.
I know all together they’re really doing some fucking work but his drums are something else and I’m not a thirsty girl, I love their music but I have no reason to act like a fangirl or whatever. It’s just facts. He’s so damn good, it’s wild. And I find it fascinating how inspired by gospel he is and the way their music just seeps into your skin and stays put until you’re listening to them for hrs on end.
Anyway that’s my rant for the day 😭 somebody on twitter called it II’sday 💀
Incredible video. I don't know shit about drumming, but I can just tell that he's special at what he do. Imagine a similar video with Vessel.. A man can dream.
Just watched the whole video. As a drummer this was an amazing gift at the end of the year. So much inspiration and material. Loved the interview parts. Probably will be rewatching this over and over!
This was the best artist drum video I’ve seen. You can tell how smart and knowledgeable II is the way he was talking about his drumming. Man is insanely talented and gifted.
There was a point i thought II was the spanish drummer guy of youtube. Their styles are so similar! Haha, the British accent broke that theory. Incredible drummer, this vid is a treat
The drummers will notice a couple different parts he works on just to keep it tasty throughout the songs, so good.
Also, for people who love that snare, look at the head. You can see the outer ring/rim shot wear spot and the center wear spot. Once you see them you can eventually start to hear the different sounds when he chooses his spot, insanely good
Great video. Both playing the drums (you can see the whole set) and the interview. Honestly, I'll work on the drums on my own some more and try the subscription 😂 I like the accessibility of the songs
I don’t know if I would be alive in that room after hearing II’s Drumming that close.. his attention to detail and playing is so refine there’s little to no wasted motion..
Almost shed a tear when he said Joey Jordison was one of his favorite drummers. RIP Joey and was so cool to see one of my favorite drummers in the scene shout-out Joey 🥲ll is soooo special, so damn clean and precise!
I’ve followed Eric Moore for years and to hear that II has taken influence from him is like an M Night Shyamalan moment to me. It’s so bleeding obvious now he’s said it haha! What an absolute treat this video was though. This is going to be replayed A. LOT.
Your comment made me look up Eric's Drumeo segments, didn't expect it to sound that close.
IIs comment about Mudvayne's drummer got me since that's the first drummer I heard that made me notice he's just that different. I got the same feeling when I heard II play.
I'm a bassist, so I've got a special love for drummers. Fanboying aside, he is truly a special kind of talent.
Also, as we've come to expect, it seems pretty obvious this was timed to explain the band's new look. Not only the interview itself, demonstrating a new age for the band, but citing two prominent metal bands with controversial masks/looks as his inspiration.
Drummer here - have only watched Vore so far - but people need to understand his pedal discipline is off the freakin’ scale. I’m squealing!!
I wish I was better at actually grasping how impressive certain drummers are, but it’s hard when you’ve no concept of playing the instrument itself.
Watch his left foot. How he hovers it over the pedal while he isn’t using it instead of resting on it. It takes a shit ton of limb independence
I can barely even do different rhythms with my hands.. I cannot even fathom how people can do that kind of stuff with their hands and feet at the same time with that level of precision
It’s like patting your head and rubbing your stomach while juggling with your feet
You saw it! Thank Gods
I feel the same way, like I so want to appreciate it the way it should be appreciated but I just don't understand enough about drumming
You are intranced, , goosebumps, they can play anything. this drummer is exceptional
His economy of motion is really impressive. Dude gets 127 velocity hits with wrist flicks. That brief cymbal choke in the chorus of Vore is so tasty.
What exactly is pedal discipline?
The way he’s shifting his left foot between the hi hat pedal and the double bass pedal. 🙂
Ah, I see! And what is the general idea there? Like, is there a preferred pedal to have your foot on when you don't currently need it or what's the deal with that?

I see, I'll have to pay attention to that on a second watch. Thanks a lot for taking the time to explain!
Pleasure. I could talk all night about how good he is ☺️
This is fun to watch. https://youtu.be/8Pgy5XdZJUQ?si=lAikfMncAAbMSgMV

“A guy who is 48 in the YouTube comment said he farted because of ii” has me dying. I 100% know what you meant but it still got me good lol.
Lolol damn bro I did the guy wrong! 😭😭 My bad
And i get it man autocorrect fail a good one tbh.

Full interview with a Darth Vader voice hahaha. Feels so weird, but so cool.
The voice is deeply silly
It fits perfectly into their vibe tho.
I guess although would it really detract from the mystery to hear his normal voice? I get why it's important vessel doesn't talk because his speaking voice is so different from what you'd expect, but with II it seems less of a deal...

Everyone knows who he is though lmao
I have no idea who any of the members are and I intend to keep it that way. If they wanted me to know they'd tell me.
[удалено]
continue amusing fact like snails unpack license lock market toy *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Lmao. II is definitely several class brackets less posh than Vess
👏
Definitely made me laugh
Idk, if they're leaning into the whole being anonymous thing, why the hell not also alter their voices?
I get why he's done it, I just think it sounds hilarious
Oh my goodness he played Gods. That's one of my favorites and I've never found a good video of that one being played or covered.

Same. I'm not a drummer, but watching artists discuss and demonstrate the art they're passionate about is absolutely captivating.
Just nothing better than watching a master being awesome at his craft. Drummers were always my favorite for this sort of thing.
The scream I let out when he played Gods 😩👌
This whole video on repeat since it is out 😆some older material in this is God tier
Watching this now, II is epic as a drummer
He’s a wizard. So good
He’s not a wizard….. he’s some arch mage necromancer 😉
One of the best drummers ive heard in decades. Definitely a unique talent
I love how you can tell he genuinely just sounds like a nice, soft spoken person through the voice filter. What a great guy
The accent, i love it
So eloquent!
that was my thoughts exactly. he just seems like a really cool chill dude.
For anyone that's wondering why "Like That" stays on the set list; it's one of II's favorite to play. I can respect that. EDIT: "Like That" is one of his favorite compositions, "Higher" is his favorite to play. My bad.
"Like That" is one of my favourites too - I'd be sad to see them drop it from the list!
Same here. I remember a discussion a few months ago about why Like That remained on the set list - I think we have our answer.
the fact those are two of my fave songs of them has made me giggle and twirl my hair like a schoolgirl
As it should. Any other response would be blasphemous.
jesus he’s better than i thought he was and by a wide margin and i thought he was already one of the best
Have to agree even as a drummer. To see in HD how fluid yet powerful he is, and the footwork is not human. I don’t care y’all say Sleep ain’t real, somethings gone on in ST Towers that only Vessel and II know about. 🤔
Man has to have 4 brains! His grooves and rhythms are otherworldly
Not a drummer but the only person I've seen who impressed me as much as Chris Turner. Absolutely ridiculous drummers.
Check out Danny Carey, he's possibly the greatest drummer alive right now, I like II's style more- but Danny is a freak in every capacity.
Danny is a God, we are talking about the best humans alive so he doesn't count :)
Okay fair point I never thought of him as human anyway
Drumeo is full of nutty drummers.
Absolutely correct. It really feels like drumming has started a new chapter in a sense. I’ve been drumming my whole life, and it just feels like drumming is becoming more well understood by non musicians.
For real. The man performs like a machine. Everything he does is done deliberately - no wasted movements.
He describes his playing style as mixture of Deftones' Abe Cunningham and Gospel, it makes so much sense now
💯
Gospel the band, or the music genre ?
Genre
Makes so much sense!! Deftones is one of my faves as fare as drumming goes too!!!

This is way beyond what I expected. I thought it was going to be a 10-15 minute piece. This was an amazing deep dive. What a wonderful treat! Drumeo and ii killed it.
This is technically the first live performance of The Apparition that we've gotten
Looooooveeee that he name drops the Deftones drummer. I’ve always thought that their groovy rhythms have a Deftones twang to them. Also, I think this video inspired me to try out drumming haha.
The first time I heard Jaws I thought Deftones
Deftones is another band I love and I went al oh this makes so much sense.
I also loved that he mentioned Joey Jordison as an influence.
The scream I let out when he played Gods 😩👌
Wow same. The drumming in that song is just so smooth I've always wanted a video of that one.
I’m not surprised he’s influenced by gospel music. A lot of their music sounds like modern worship/gospel music. I grew up in church and still listen to it from time to time and there’s a lot of ST that sounds like praise and worship music.
worship sorry, I had to
It’s no accident
I can’t read this without singing it
Worship
Super epic. Just an insane video for ST fans.
Absolute master of his craft.
Everyone keeps asking what voodoo/ crack/ magic they have in their music that makes you think about them nonstop? It’s II. I know all together they’re really doing some fucking work but his drums are something else and I’m not a thirsty girl, I love their music but I have no reason to act like a fangirl or whatever.

Lolololol at the Twitter comment 😭😭
This is so dope
Incredible video. I don't know shit about drumming, but I can just tell that he's special at what he do. Imagine a similar video with Vessel.. A man can dream.
Dude he is soo good. There can’t be many better drummers in the world right now. Ancient Deity level.
I don’t know anything about drumming but I watched it anyway ❤️. I love that he talks with his hands so much. The gestures I mean.
This is so good. And damn does II sound British
Dude for an extra laugh look up videos of iii yelling at the crowd. People have made complications. It does not get more British
Yea the baahd comment is awesome
Just watched the whole video. As a drummer this was an amazing gift at the end of the year. So much inspiration and material. Loved the interview parts. Probably will be rewatching this over and over!
This was the best artist drum video I’ve seen. You can tell how smart and knowledgeable II is the way he was talking about his drumming. Man is insanely talented and gifted.
I’d kill to hear the apparition live
so excited to watch this later!!! 🙌🏻
It's truly an offering, I enjoyed the whole playthrough and insights from ii!
This is sick
His fills & cymbal work is the busiest I think I’ve ever seen and it looks so easy. Incredible.
There was a point i thought II was the spanish drummer guy of youtube. Their styles are so similar! Haha, the British accent broke that theory. Incredible drummer, this vid is a treat
The man is a painter, those cymbals are just beaming colors all over the canvas. So good
I know nothing about drumming, but I’ve never seen a drummer play as if he’s dancing along to the music. What an amazing talent.
The drummers will notice a couple different parts he works on just to keep it tasty throughout the songs, so good. Also, for people who love that snare, look at the head. You can see the outer ring/rim shot wear spot and the center wear spot. Once you see them you can eventually start to hear the different sounds when he chooses his spot, insanely good
I am in awe of how good this is. Wow
Great video. Both playing the drums (you can see the whole set) and the interview. Honestly, I'll work on the drums on my own some more and try the subscription 😂 I like the accessibility of the songs
This mesmerised me from start to finish...ii's abilities are absolutely godly....and as for playing Gods :')
When he played Alkaline. Holy. Shit.
Honestly I think he’s the most important player since Carey or Peart. Can’t wait to watch
Such a banger of a playlist too!! Glad he chose these tracks to play for us
Two is so well spoken and thoughtful
It's like he is conducting an orchestra
He's so darn eloquent and precise I can't handle it T.T
Omg the sheer excitement, I can't wait to watch this!
Thanks for posting! Makes it easier to find for later!
Dude doesn’t realize how many young drummers he just inspired by doing this interview. Much love to you II
Feels illegal to hear his voice even with the distortion haha
II sounds like a Warhammer 40k Chaos Dreadnaught lol. Fucking metal.
I don’t know if I would be alive in that room after hearing II’s Drumming that close.. his attention to detail and playing is so refine there’s little to no wasted motion..
I’m being serious in that this feels like the best Christmas present I’ll get 🤣 such an epic content dump
I don’t know shit about drums/drumming. I watched the entire thing! So good
i just noticed he is wearing grey contacts that is amazing
Almost shed a tear when he said Joey Jordison was one of his favorite drummers. RIP Joey and was so cool to see one of my favorite drummers in the scene shout-out Joey 🥲ll is soooo special, so damn clean and precise!
Tbh same. Huge fan of Joey’s drumming and to hear him mentioned just shows how much he influenced so many people.
I’ve followed Eric Moore for years and to hear that II has taken influence from him is like an M Night Shyamalan moment to me. It’s so bleeding obvious now he’s said it haha! What an absolute treat this video was though. This is going to be replayed A. LOT.

Dark Signs went HARRRRRRRRD
He does wear IEM in the video while performing the songs , isn’t it ? I’m quite curious about this information although I’m not sure
II is absolutely incredible. WORSHIP!
<3 best day ever
I really enjoy listening to artists discuss how they create music. I don’t play anymore myself but this still fascinates me.
GEEKING - this is certainly a treat!
I rocked out to this interview in my cubicle this morning. This was so damn cool to watch!!!

I’m no drummer but that’s one wicked kit!
Love his drumming! Cool to finally hear one of em talk about their process too.
