CARAMEL DRUM COVER// Sleep Token

Musically this song is one of my favorites they've put out. The way the beat goes from a latin groove in the first chorus to blast beats by the end of the song is a super unique genre blend and the pull it off so well. BUT lyrically it's heartbreaking. It's a shame Vessel has to go through this because want to be weirdos. Love this band and they deserve the utmost respect!

You can tell the fact that Mat takes a little extra time to get his covers out, makes all the difference. No one better at covering this band.

[docalex]

You can clearly see he is a real Sleep Token fan rather than a person simply jumping on the trend like many other musicians. This was nearly 1:1 execution, amazing!

[Kabinbr]

if i was sleep token and II got sick for a few days and couldnt play in the tour i would get this guy to fill in, great job my man

[BootsMoto]

The transition on the Roland from "CARAMEL" to made me laugh harder than what was probably necessary hahaha

[_iKabal]

There’s no other choice when it comes to ST drum covers. Simple as that. Pure as diamonds. ✨💎✨

[geophil]

Bro that was CLEAN. I think it's fair to say that with closed eyes one could think this is II playing. Good job man

[the_fake_official]

That blast beat at the end was... chef's kiss. Really enjoyed watching this cover, looks like you were having a blast playing it.

[LevitoSaro]

Bro if Sleep Token ever needs a new ii then you are the one!

[phreshxmetal]

seriously best drum cover of this song I've heard, great job

[bryansmith]

Hey, my man are literally the definition of a Gospel drummer, but has looks like a metal drummer. It's crazy because this is literally how the song sounded even the way you play. You guys are so similar, the 2 of you, which is a compliment. We all have our strengths and weaknesses, and you conquered the double bass part and did it very well. I remember reading a comment, and you saying that the double bass part you're still working on and the whole song you were still working on, and I hear this, and I'm like thinking it doesn't seem you had any problems, but obviously there's so much that goes on behind the scenes. Great job, I really appreciate the drums and the tone with the mics involved, everything sounds amazing. Keep making content and keep continuing to inspire us and giving good content.

Kudos to your mixer for that SNARE DRUM. Just the right amount of depth and pop.

[Flanz]

Favorite drummer on YT right now for sure.

[plastichand]

So sick man, really well done. That overflow of the fill into the next bar around 1:29 is killer man. II is such a beast

[creepycrust]

Just your facial movement with each instrument just shows how much you are involved with this💯💯💯💯💯

[artofcod]

amazing drum cover! Just spot on, could close your eyes and think II was playing.

[robertaragon]

Look, hear me out, your playing is so smooth that when I was in the shower, letting this play in my living room, that I thought it was a video of II doing a playthrough.
I hopped out of the shower so quick and to my surprise, I was watching you play.
Just straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[Interfrayed]

This cover is absolutely gorgeous, thank you for giving this offering on my favourite band!

[msgcompete]

been waiting for this one, that noti was like a christmas day gift

[kaleahmoongoddess]

I went in skeptical because of how much I adore this band and II as a drummer but I can admit with no hesitation that I was wrong. You absolutely killed it. You won a new fan today. Subscribed. Worship 🤘🏼🖤

[weinto.]

insane skill man. as a drummer i can appreciate the amount of time a song like this takes and the hours of practice. 💪
