Perfomance Car Maniac Thanks! Mike and I are on an Autumn Silence album together, we did it I think in ‘95.

Matt - incredible performance!!! I love your syncopated cymbal bell work, which is something I also employ in my playing. And like everyone else, I absolutely love the fill you do at the 2:00 mark. I've been playing myself for over 45 years and you've become one of my favorite drummers. Cheers!

Steve quartarola Thanks Steve! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Truth-or-nothing Thank you 🤘🏻

Perfect playing!

Jonas Svalin Right? Unreal how good this sounds!

Besides the strong overtones on the snare I would say you're right. I like to hear a little more snare buzz and a little less overtones.

Sounds like the studio version

@@danmeme7740 Yeah, the snare sounds like shit. No crack at all. It's all pop. That's not ideal.

🤘😎

Am watching it now he's a writer not as good as neal peart for rush

He's a write

@@kentbrady6358 - Similar situation: I am a musician (not a drummer) and I know every drum stroke of this song by heart. That being said, while the fill at 2:00 doesn't exist on the recording, I will GLADLY take it.

Matt is awesome 🥁

Totally agree!

ViolEeEEEEEEEENnNNT PACIiiIIIiiiFICATiiiiiiiOOOOOOONNN !!!!!!!

@@saraivatoledo1842 uh...aint no sean reinert of aghora or even close to vinnie or dave... take lessons from the appropriate teachers plz. at least that.

@@jonmiller8412 Sean takes it up the arse so , the masculinity displayed by somebone like Joey Baron is hardly present ( trust me, seen them live countless times, not even in the same league tbh ) ... Vinnie Paul has/had got its own sound , yeah , tight af ... not a complete drummer at all otherwise, just a Metal drummer , and a good one at that , mind you. As for Dave Lombardo, I grew on that guy so I am highly biased, I see him as this Demi - God drummer which trascends styles and bands and whatever ... so yeah , agreed in a way , hell yeah !

@@saraivatoledo1842 Talkin' about real drummers brutha...Vinnie Colaiuta and Dave Weckl. Not metal guys barely getting by playing a few staccato back beats/jazzy imitation. Matt Gartska is a phenom up and comer too. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mquflruovt6paKs.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hp5zZraQpt-1XWw.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5l-maaIst3FqXU.html

@@jonmiller8412 haha, who do you reckon Joey Baron is , dude ?

kzfaq.info ;)

...if anyone needed their ego fed...

Mikkey Dee's cymbal work, but very well performed, obviously

@@cern999 i think, it was a mistake for him to quit King Diamond band. i mean, for Mikkey Dee.

💯

Might ?

If not, he should be!!! I love live shows, it gives every member of the band a chance to show their talent!!

Charlie Benante.

It's his riff so it is easy for him.

I do too! They tend to get a bad rep from some Sickdrummer subscribers, but I think that's just because a lot of them are young highschool kids that just go with whatever cymbals are on the Bandwagon. Their rides and China's have always been some of the best on available. I just don't care for most of the "Rude series".

Ya I have alphas and pst 7. Then a phycoctopus gigabell ride

James Norris The bell on that ride is damn near orgasmic. I, sadly, don't own any myself, just a mix of Sabes, Zilljs, and Meinls, but I would love to add a few to my collection. I am in need of a new splash and 18inch crash.

James Norris Sweet vids man! Your live stuff was a blast to watch. Keep shredding!

Thank you. Subscribe. Ill b making more vids soon

Checkout 2:00 WOW

What a beast

Dude - that 2:00 fill is sick, but then again, it’s all sick !!!

Huh? Where are you getting these stats?

Are you dumb or clueless? Most metal drummers would use this as a light warm up.. This is nothing compared to modern metal.

Listen to Psywar by Mayhem, and tell me how most metal drummers couldn't play this.

+Mickey Holm I saw King Diamond twice in the 80's, once in the 90's with Mercyful Fate, then again recently (last month), and you're right. His vocals this last time were so awesome compared to any other time I've seen him. All of his shows have been great but this last time I saw him, his singing was just too awesome to describe.

BM I'm really looking forward to the new album. If he can sing this good live, imagine what i sounds like in the studio! :o But we got a taste of his voice on Volbeat's "Room 24", and that was a couple of years ago, so I think he is even better now :) Twice in the 80s? Wow, that is amazing, did you see him with Mikkey Dee? :)

Mickey Holm Yes. Twice. On the Abigail and Them tours. I saw Mercyful Fate with Snowy Shaw playing the drums on the In The Shadows tour.

+Mickey Holm Don't forget, he gave up the smokes, it probably helped a lot.

TheKokojoe He did?! Didn't know that -really good to hear :)

Not my kind of comment, but the guy is a best of a drummer.
