    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 Před 3 lety

      ​@@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.

      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

    • @HugoStiglitz88

      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)

      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

    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.

    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...
