    Matt did a breakdown of this song and how he came up with the parts on his channel. That last fill was instigated by the second guitarist, Javier Reyes who said something along the lines of "you can't just end the song, you have to throw in some of that Matt Garstka shit!" LOL

  • @APieceOfLiquid

    No bass player. It's two guitarists on 7 or 8 strings and the drummer. Tosin Abasi developed thumb slapping for the guitar and that's why it's so thumpy and bass-y. They're amazing.

My dad is a drummer of over 40 years so I appreciate all the drum reviews without actually knowing what's happening on the technical level. It's been great introducing him to new music that I find from this channel. He also just casually says he is going to text and ask his friend Mr. Dennis Chambers if he knows who this beast Matt Garstka is lol. Thank you for the videos.

    Love your endless wealth of technical knowledge about all things music and instruments. Pretty rare to have a reaction video channel with the amount of chops you have as a band teacher, it's great stuff. Another drummer I feel like you might get a kick out of is Chris Turner, who's primarily a metal drummer who just released a solo drum album. Any of his one-take playthroughs for his current album are brain-shattering!

      Good call on Chris Turner. As well, if you want to go deep on Garstka's influences (which overlap so many of mine / why I find such an affinity for MG), it goes something like this:
      - Dave Weckl
      - Chris Coleman
      - Calvin Rodgers
      - Stuart Copeland
      - Dennis Chambers
      - Vinnie Colaiuta

    Got news for you, there is no bass players. There are two guitarists both of them being eight string players and Tosin Abasi has otherworldly techniques that cover slapping and pulling reminiscent of base technique and other percussive techniques mixed with alternate picking legato you name it. This is a group for those that simply love the art of music for the technical as well as the aesthetic and sound aspects

    He can’t just be a human and modulate between duple and triple pulses, he’s got to throw quintuples in there too. Also I think those syncopated hits you were trying to feel out were giving me the sense that they took a more traditional duplet-grouped rhythm and just sort of converted it to a quintuplet pulse and let the accents fall on the nearest equivalent beat.

    Hey Tony. I marched with David Vaughns, Jeff Barber, and others in the 90s. I study Garstka's music on the daily - he's currently my biggest inspiration and influence for where I'm headed next. Most of this song is, believe it or not, in a very straight forward 4/4, 7/4, and 3/4. The super interesting work surrounds the displacement and modulation groupings. Also - you probably know this by now, but there is no bass player. Two 8 string guitarists who are on the same level, or higher, than Matt is, on their own instruments respectively. Lastly, I'm finally working on a channel as well, and, if you're interested, will reach out for some collab when it's up.

    Preface my comment with I think Matt is one of the best drummers on the planet...my only criticism is I hate when drummers play a groove with a crash cymbal, he does it alot...over a ride or hi hat or china etc. Just a sound preference...his playing is otherworldly

    Bass player...
    ...yup...
    ...definitely.
    Not a dig on you. They sound GREAT.
    It's an easy mistake to make.
    They are just 2x 8-strings and a drummer.

    Yeah, Garstka is one of the best drummers alive. Matt Halpern is also an absolute UNIT and in the same genre. I like Halpern just a bit more though.

    Clean playing? “Clean” takes lessons from Matt how to be clean
