That drum kit is as stable as my future.
Hahahahah......This comment cracked me up
So very unstable? But that's s compliment because this video was sick
he should be using a rack, wouldnt get all that movement
@@lincthomas7178 it’s the stage not the lack of rack.
@@SaltyDogPerformance r U sure
If a cymbal isn't moving, hit it 😂
hit them all, juat to be safe.
kodiak wild ...with one swing of a stick!
Old joke, doesn't really apply to this video
If the whole kit isn’t bouncing.. Play it.. 👍
Ethan Carlson lol it's gives it a more full sound
I love everything about matt as a drummer. His skills, patterns, power, overall stage presence, and showmanship. He just gives you the impression that he is in full blown drumming mode and as lovng every second of it. Such charisma and showmanship. He is truly one of a kind. When periphery took him on they found a GEM and I dont think theyll ever find a drummer that can math him in all those catagories. He just bring so much to the band. Sure anyone can play his patterns but its so much more then that. Matt, youre a legend and are on my top 5 list of best drummers of all time
d3tach3d Anyone name Matt is good lol Matt Griener is good Matt halrpen and matt garska lol
^^^ive thought that exact thought so many times. The trifecta of metal drumming. The Mattfecta if you will.
Thomas Pridgen !?!? 😎
I agree with you. For me him and Thomas Haake are the most interesting drummers out there.
@@thomasche @Thomas Chevrier @Thomas Chevrier Thomas Haake is a machine. Hes one of my favorites too. My top favorite of all time though, is a drummer named """Morgan Agren"""From Matts Morgan Band. He's also played drum on the Sol Niger album with Fredrik Thordendal. He's fucking amazing. Everyone he does on a drum kit is mind blowing and its sad not a lot of people know him. His creativity, drum patterns, timing, dynamics, originality, is the 1% of the 1%. I swear, Hes God Tier. He's been playing drums for over 40+ years and one of the only drummers that thoroughly blows my mind. He's unlocked the fucking matrix code. If you love drumming I hope you can appreciate everything I mentioned and will check these clips out. Ill link some.
Him and Fredrik (Meshuggah)
czcams.com/video/AgwJEvasJlM/video.html&ab_channel=PhilZeGerman
search him playing with his main band "Mats Morgan band", I suggest older clips, and other projects. Hes not human.
Matt: *plays incredibly then stops*
Crowd: ok
so glad a good part of metal moved away from just blast beats and fast fills in every song into something worth listening to
ne obliviscaris is a very good band, but the drummer does blast beats almost every time and it annoys me
TheUtgardian Channel Not all the time Matt Griener did more blast beats than matt halrpen
Guys like Matt Halpern and Blake Richardson really changed the game...
idk, my love for blast beats is the same for gospel chops and other stuff like Matt does in this video, it's all awesome drumming for me hahaha
@@beto1580 Blake used to blast beat a lot on older BTBAM records, as well as the old Glass Casket stuff haha
But these days, he's so good, so tasteful.
'the man who can break 3 cymbals in 1 swing of a stick'
OG Periphery fans understand
They were good old times
Also cuz of jake and his 7 strings of wonder
I understood that reference.gif
Ragtime Dandies!!!
When the people from Meinl designed this Meinl shirt they took into consideration that the symbol on the front was low enough so Halpern could cut his V-neck properly. True story
1:00-1:51 was like a 50-second-long drum fill that I didn't want to end. The way he weaves those toms and snare hits into the music is hypnotic. Wow.
it fucks me up watching matt play this song because I'm still in that awkward kinda-sorta learning theory phase as a musician so I'm sitting here like "what the fuck how do I count this". like they asked matt to fill in a minute of the song and he was like "yeah one sec lemme warm up" and nolly was like ctrl+r when he sat behind the kit
goddamn I love periphery
Yea to me that's the hardest part of the song by a mile. Like I thought about learning it and know a couple of the beats but I just know that part alone might take me a month at least
That's why I focus on his easier stuff like 22 faces, blood eagle, or flatline which sound hard to a layman but they're actually super easy (for periphery songs)
Yes!!! That 20" China sounds amazing!
Fuck yeah it does. Was thinking the same thing.
Yea it's a really great sounding china. I'm glad I have it on my GGD kit (it's Matt's kit lol)
All of the cymbals are dancin' around ..
Matt's mouth is open all the time hahaha happy djentleman .. What a beast.
Misha told him if a cymbal ever stops moving he's fired
I feel so exhausted just watching him playing this.
DId Meinl make a V-neck just for him?
Two options, he made it himself since he has a clothing line or he took a regular Meinl tshirt and cut the neck into a v-neck haha
Gives Ben Stiller's v-neck a run for his money
Uvuvwevwevwe Onyetenyevwe Ugwemuhwem Osas he probably has a press where he puts a shirt in it and then it makes a deep v neck for any shirt. Makes it as precise as possible. Or maybe he made it uneven so he had to keep cutting it further and further down until he got it right
Uvuvwevwevwe Onyetenyevwe Ugwemuhwem Osas 😄😄😄
DandelionVolta wait... he has a clothing line? Nobody told me this
1:49 i love how full he makes this part sound.
3:17 and you gotta love the transition into this. brings a tear to the eye
Gah, that whole kit sounds amazing. This captured matt so well!
The finish on those drums are soooo sick!
He always makes metal look smooth as butter.
It's crazy. I could play for another 10 years learn every periphery song and never be able to make it look anywhere near that easy. He's too good
That song is incredible. Probably my favourite from that album
Matt's is the reason I am making faces like him while playing drums.
I'm trying to learn from and emulate Matt as much as i can, but that's the one way I'm all set 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 no thanks
apparently im one of a very small handful of commenters who actually really likes the snare
Me too.. Even on the album you can hear the ghost notes and when he smacks on it, it stops sounding like a snare drum and starts sounding like a shotgun 🥁🤘
The snare sounds dark compared to the rest of the Kit, but I think it sounds awesome.
He is the Chad Smith of his genre. I absolutely adore the skills Matt displays and he can do it all. He's absolutely in the top tier of drummer's still on earth and absolutely one of the best of all time IMO...
That snare sounds so goddamn incredible.
He's a genius
woa, i've seen you in another comment section but i can't remember where. i think it was victor borba😶😯
@@guylumalfaro3176 thirsty much?
Is this a different version of Ragnarok? Right before the second part of the song there's a vocal line by Spencer I've never heard before. "There's nothing left inside"
2:08 I wonder if it's just mixed differently so that part stands out. I'm going to go listen to the original to see if you can hear it.
Yeah you are right. Maybe it's a demo version of the song and the final got changed.
Almighty RS In the one from the album he's screaming it quietly instead of freaky-frog voice haha. Yeah maybe it was an original idea that they cut? It was so loud haha I was like "what." Other than that it's the same version it sounded like
It's probably the original version but with drums taken out and mixed differently. Periphery did record, mix, master, and produce that album themselves.
Cameron Alidor Taylor Larson did Periphery 2. They had a hand in the production but they didn't mix it themselves.
I absolutely love this setup. Adds a whole different dimension to his playing
idk why everyone hates the snare I think it sounds great its just my taste
Brandon Drums I agree
Brandon Drums it sounds amazing
probably because his snare usually sounds beast
Sounds pretty Dry and responsive. Pretty Decent IMO
The Snare Sounds amazing imo.
So much Attack and Punch but also with Overtones to give The Sound some character 😍
Finally, a band where you actually want to watch the drummer (Mark’s pretty fun to watch too though)
Dude...This is all I've been listening to while I work. So good.
Everything about this video is alpha.
Not only does he nail this, he adds so much flair
YAAAAAAAAAA I AM CHEERING CUZ THAT WAS DIRTY!!!! Go Matt!!!!!
The man knows how to hit a cymbal...
Except for the snare the drums sound incredible and crystal clear
yeah the snare doesnt fit the djent style
I think the snare is tuned for their most recent album. They had a different one for this album :) sounds amazing anyways.
Great for Matt! We wait Gartska for the new album of AAL, i wanna see Arithmophobia.
Aw Mk The new album is already out
He reminds of a more technical Chad smith
will ferrell*
He went ham on the cymbals 😂
This guy puts drum solos to music! F'n monster!
Am I the only one who sort of doesn't mind that snare? ;)
Still love this video. You can see Matt’s “kid in the candy store” look because he was probably playing a 3 piece kit the night before
He's a beast genius.
To everyone that doesn’t get goosebumps watching this you are not a metaler, this man / band fucking rocks
his left foot is so consistent keeping up with the beat. fucking insane
one of the best drummers in the world!!
The signature V-Neck shirt.
That snare is to DIE for
Jesus, what an absolute beast.
Uh...amazing!!
BEAUTIFUL!!!
That snare sound is damn awesome!!!
insane!!
If he hits one more cymbal😤😤
The patterns and rhythms in the song are fuckin awesome 👌
BAYDUH!!!!
I can't for the life of me figure out how he's able to play with his cymbals swinging all over the place!
The only man who can break 3 cymbals with one swing of a stick
Fun fact, when Matt was hired he was told hed be fired if a cymbal ever stops moving
AMAZING!
Flawless victory!
Somebody call the showrunners of Most Haunted. There's so many ghost notes the snare is the spookiest thing they'll ever see!
Loosey Goosey!!
What a classic
Did Matt just play 2 songs on this festival?. I need more vids like this!!
(like Matt Garstka's Meinl Drum Fest videos. There are 4 of them)
RAGNAROK:The event where the Gods sacrifice themselves to restore order to the universe.
Maybe attach the snare wires next time.....great drumming though
you ever heard a snare without snare wire ?
2.:22 onwards love it😍😘🤗
It's like two ropes with sticks attached at the end that just flow around the kit on time.
I like this Snare-Sounds with Crack, not these deep flat lowend snare drums everyone uses today. They sound so boring :)
Greatest Snare-Sound? Rammstein - "Rosenrot"
The Snare seems to sound great, but it doesnt fix to the rest of the kit mixwise...
Rammstein's drummer uses Tama Starclassics. that Bubinga...
Other note worthy drum sounds are Black Clouds and Silver Linings by Dream Theater, Faceless by God smack and The Way of all Flesh by Gojira!
The V-neck is so deep, there's barely enough room for the logo!
Jesus Christ o.O i think love this guy so much.
I don't think I've seen Matt using another floor tom to the left of the hi hat.
god of ghost notes right here!
(and v necks)
ARTE
How does he remember that rhythm from 1:03. Any ideas? How do you count it?
More cymbal!
Someone: “Cymbal felts”
Matt: *No*
i smashed the fuck outta the alike button
Woah at the end did he use the Chinese flag as a rag?
So Groovy
what's with the creepy "Theres nothing left inside" being so exaggerated in this video?
MONSTER
The Wyverns on Ragnarok of ark survival evolved are pretty dope when you can find 104 egg's or higher
Last festival was soooo well recorded, what happened with this one?
YouthDrummer the last festival was kind of a special occasion because Meinl had an anniversary. so they gave it more attention and you can see it in the line up. 2015 got an all star line up and 2016 was okay. hence why the production level wasn't as high.
What's that snare drum? Sounds great.
i think it was his own signature snare, mapex black panther wraith i suppose
Alan Kapołka it's his maypex snair
HELLPORN
Dat China is killin
What was that vocal at 4:08?? Did they re record Ragnarok??
I really screwed the pooch on that one. I meant 2:08
jalen roark why are you fucking dogs?
Michael Blatter Your comment reminded me of Borat lol
Almighty RS there is a really funny bit about "screwing the pooch" on the Michael Che comedy special on Netflix.
Snare bottom has left the chat
I swear does this guy ever make a single mistake?
And they say perpetual motion doesn't exist.
HULK SMASH
This should have been the soundtrack fot Thor ragnarok 3:21
That SNARE HOLY GEEZ
Dudes kit has better moves than I do...
2:51...
Sweet kit. But I will never understand players with that many cymbals and toms aren't using a rack. I would go insane if everything was wobbling like that on my kit.
Halpern or Garstka?
garstka
no disrespect
Seva Kovarsky Halpern. More groove
garstka
Matt!
1:11 1:16 His hihat 16th notes aren't consistent
he's marking the tempo
the kit is shaking so much look like jello
Wtf happend to the snare sound, that is aweful... No snare wires, dry, no punch...?!?
This is how snare normally sounds like.
fuckin A
Matt's "ghost notes" are other drummers normal hits.
The snare is just mic'd in an odd way I think. Waaay too much drum tone, not enough snare sound, combined with an un-periphery sounding EQ, I would guess.
Is it fair to say it's not fair to be a drummer and be like 8 feet tall lol?! Being really good helps too I guess...
