Big fan for a long time bro! Keep up the chops! I know you will!

You play so good! Beautiful drums

He’s just a really advanced music nerd. 😂 I love matt so much he’s awesome! This video was awesome thanks for sharing 🤘🏻

This is gold

so interesting! thanks guys

Nice

Amazing

I liked the second one but both sounded amazing

1 against 6 lol

So clean man. I love the slow down at the end. Can really see how you're doing it there. Helps me visualize it.

Double with paradiddle

doubles followed by paradiddles. Are those Thomas Lang sig. sticks? must be, their chunky! lol

Well… It looks like an inverted double paradiddle with a flam on the first note 😂 Okay, what is it? I give up.

Yeah idk they sound like flamadiddles

Flamadiddle

We know you can go fast. The people clicking on rudiment videos could probably use more of a breakdown of the pattern. I know you did one but I would recommend showing the pattern even slower and for longer. Imo Thanks for the video.

Incredible playing. Thanks for the video.

What I love about Garstka is that he's pushing metric modulation to such an incredible and musical degree, that most people have no idea what they're hearing, but they like it. For those of us that do, it's pure inspiration for next level performance.

Zoom in dude, i only want to see that kit and nothing else.

this isn't a slam but i categorize this style as "magic trick" drumming and songwriting. there's an inherent stiffness and inhumanity to it because it's all based on memorized, written riffs that intentionally clash and synchronize and ta da somehow come together. it's like an intentional uncanny valley. I'm fascinated by it because I've spent a lifetime avoiding this but i love it because it is the exact opposite of how i've approached songwriting where the cues are from melody, not myriad "drum riffs" strung together. when transcribing something like monomyth I can play every single part but cannot resolve it as one entire string of pieces. truly inspiring. my current exercise is to take the transcription and 8th note hihats with snare on 2 and the last beat of the pulse with bassdrum on 1. even only that is a challenge!

unreal

Just purchased DW 9000 XF out the box that pedal feels stiff. I don’t know rather to tighten it or make it loose. But something as to be done. I can’t get any funky double out of it. Song example like cameo strange. And I need to bounce backwards and forward to Rock songs with speed. I don’t know what to do with this

Anyone know which loop this is? Or if he has it in one of his packs? I know the second one is Trinity

Space breaks up that linear thing, also mixing the subdivions.... So much more musical, like the way we speak. He have a conversation, your imotions are felt by the way you speak...you speak out of passion, you dont sound mom tone or robotic...same as drumming

I gotta seek Matt for some private lessons!! Where is he at?

Man... Im not a great drummer but I did drum for many years. This guy is just screamin' on that set bro. Singing his heart out. For anyone that isn't a drummer... it can be super magical. You don't even have to be anywhere near this insanely solid to get a beautiful feeling. As a drummer I just know, when his head is swirling or some of that 7 5 switchup in the second song... dude is feeling like he is spiraling into heaven. Shit. I think I gotta start drumming again.

And what about the footboard height ? Please

Sometimes I wonder what would a Animals As Leaders album would turn out to sound like under the Warp Records Label.

OMG Dorothea! Apply some medication to the burn!

Magic matt

Wooten, Nuno, Garstka

38:32 "Oh man I'm cancelled, I´m so cancelled..." I did not understand the rest of that, pls help 😂

Thank you and love ♥♥

Sounding Great

I like this video. I'm also looking for both more control and speed. Every "speed" vid I've watched immediately tell ya max tension. You've went through your journey, and explained how the different tensions have helped you. I've been switching back and forth, but max tension has been tough to control. I'm going to slowly start from loose until it fee feel right. Thanks

I just clicked on the video to tell you the video title sucks thumbs down

Im a drummer thanks for the advise

I think only SN and BD mics are being used? Thanks!

As amazing as MAtt is, I wonder if he has ever tried playing a lefty set

It's like listening to Quentin Tarantino describe how to direct a movie..

Thank You man

😀 I've seen alot of famous progressive Rock and progressive metal drummers, and alot of non famous CZcams progressive / metal drummers, but I truly believe he may be the most technical drummer in the world!! That I've ever seen!!

Nice video. ty. it looks like you use slide technique for your doubles?

Wowwwww the section where he plays those 7s is just too good!

Badassery at its finest! "Colors as frequencies"--Elvin Jones used to talk about that concept.

I've played drums all my life and never heard of this dude. Glad I found this

O fawk yea!!

the best drummer you can't dance to
