"Nah I haven't heard of it", proceeded to absolutely fucking slay it. Lol.

[the_MrFloof]

"I've never heard this song before"
*is secretly II*

[Mlife]

I’m a big Sleep Token fan but I am absolutely wondering what church this man drops these smooth rhythms at so I can experience these beats God has blessed him with.

[Kuolema]

He caught the vibe immediately, knew what kind of sound to go for. Impressive.

[geoff]

Gotta be the most accurate first take I've ever heard. Bro was almost 1:1 at some points.

[damiansmith]

It's amazing how close he was. Just goes to show you that Sleep Tokens drummer wasn't kidding when he said he takes influence from gospel and hip hop.

[eastcoasteric]

Gospel drummers are massively underrated and under appreciated.

It took Sleep Tokens drummer to finally 'wake' people up to this style and the grooves.

[ivangotyokes]

This is a story of how Metal met Gospel and they lived happily ever after.

[RijuJ]

II would be proud of this performance if he ever saw it.

[lukas]

Hearing a gospel drummer play a sleep token song and then closing your eyes only for it to sound like II is actually the one playing is insane! II wasn't lying when he said that he takes influence from gospel drummers!

[jaredrichardson]

That fill in the breakdown was nauseating. Dude is insanely gifted.

[NOPPYify]

OH MY FUCK.
I've never ever could have dreamed of finding a guy that's able to uncontiously mimic another drummer like that. I swear, THE FIRST TWO BARS of your drumming had me walking around the room like shit. Now im writing this comment. I'm right now at @3:07. and I already know Im in for a treat.
wow

[skychamber_studios]

Nobody. NOBODY, has groove and bounce like gospel drummers. This was incredible.

[wheelsnipe-chelly]

This may be one of the most impressive things I've ever seen musically. He fucking KILLED that.

[Rickysantaella]

shoutout to the engineer, that kit sounds amazing!

[xxitz_prgxx]

That triplet kick at 5:28 sent me to the

[stevejlarsen]

those ghost snare notes with a single hand, while his other arm looks like a tornado, while his feet are double hittin' seemlessly, while only barely hearing the song... you sir, are 'The Upside Down' in human form.

[Dxco]

worship drummer is the sleeper build of the prog metal drummer

[LachieAussie]

WHAT!!! That first take was unbelievably close to the original. Jon is goated

[metalrock]

Why is it that when you put gospel drummers with progressive music it sounds so cool 😎? Somehow those church chops make tasty music 😊.
