Who’s The Best Odd-Time DRUMMER? II from Sleep Token vs TOOL & Portnoy

0

Hey metal scholars! Welcome back to the channel. Today, we dive deep into the world of drumming and progressive music, exploring the rhythmic complexity of Tool’s “Pneuma” and Sleep Token’s “The Summoning.” Featuring legendary drummers Danny Carey, II from Sleep Token, and Mike Portnoy’s incredible performance on Drumeo. You don’t want to miss this insane math drumming showdown, please share the video with other music fans! #sleeptoken #drumeo #mikeportnoy

Pneuma (Tool): the challenge here is to notice the cycles. They play 2 bars of 7/4, followed by a 5/8 bar. Every now and then, when the bass moves up to a High F, they play 5 bars of 3/8 followed by a 2/4 prior to returning to the 7-7-5 cycle. The chorus and breakdowns are all in 4/4.

The Summoning (Sleep Token) – the intro is 3/4 | 6/4 | 6/4 | 4/4 | 6/4 | 6/4 | 5/4 | vocal comes in during the tail of 3/4 | 6/4 | 6/4 | 4/4 and most of the song will be in 6/4 or 4/4 with these specific cycles during the intro before verses or breakdowns.

Pneuma Lyrics
We are spirit bound to this flesh
We go round one foot nailed down
But bound to reach out and beyond this flesh
Become Pneuma
We are will and wonder
Bound to recall, remember
We are born of one breath, one word
We are all one spark, sun becoming
Child, wake up
Child, release the light
Wake up now
Child, wake up
Child, release the light
Wake up now, child
(Spirit)
(Spirit)
(Spirit)
(Spirit)
Bound to this flesh
This guise, this mask
This dream
Wake up remember
We are born of one breath, one word
We are all one spark, sun becoming
Pneuma
Reach out and beyond
Wake up remember
We are born of one breath, one word
We are all one spark, eyes full of wonder
