And Gospel ....

And Djent

and funk for SURE

prog and jazz = fusion metal and rock = fusion odd time = prog He is a Progressive Drummer in short.

Even some good Ole Gospel chops. He can do it all.

He's the people's drummer

it really is. class personified.

Amen!!!

In a similar vein, Polyphia's always posting official playthroughs of their shit, Clay's drumming too, which is awesome. Love the emphasis on creating digital content these bands have nowadays.

I wish more people did it, I love eric moores drum cams, but he never post them anymore, gotta love it.

that had to be the most amazing show i have ever been to...

how he do that??

Lmao

I screamed at Javier "JAVIER YOUR BEAUTIFULLLLL" no homo. They're all beautiful beings, calling out Javier seemed fitting :)

Thats how you know theres a ton of musicians in the crowd \m/ So Sick!

7/8 Signature, complex polymeter claps.

When they came to Dallas, the crowd was able to get it too. I was impressed. The only time I had ever seen someone get a crowd to successfully engage in polyrhythmic claps was on Snarky Puppy’s tiny desk performance on KZfaq. 😂🎵🎶🎵🎶👏🏾

don't forget about the polymeter goodness at 1:10:33 oof!

The claping is good but it's just in 5

I see you.

Yeah it was my first concert too as well as my first time seeing AAL Live. I'm in the very front. Burgundy shirt. It was rough being up there lol Definitely dope meeting Matt. He's a cool dude.

Hell of a first concert then.

@@Animefreakinfiniti7 Oh yeah so you had like 4 or 5 guys pulled over you by security then huh lol

@@SkylaneMusic lol, That was gnarly! Hopefully no one’s night was ruined by that. I was mid crowd in front of tosin.

thanks man!

@@HerbalistGuybrush Matt, Is this you?

the only ones he wouldn't win are for playing slow and playing the same thing for more than one measure....

@@RustyDodd lol salty much

@@MrTisjeboy ?

@@RustyDodd right, you need a different temperament for this playing. but what he is doing is way more complex any way...

​@@RustyDodd if only you knew

My thoughts exactly! I try to support the creators I like too - that's amazing to hear there are still some like that out there.

If I was this damn good I'd would want them people out there to know for free

That’s how musicians could make money back in the day … sad we can’t do that today

Just did that after literally wiping my tears of joy after this video. Thank you Matt for the cam and the excellent non saturated, well balanced sound of your drum part. After listening to this video I just pre-ordered the Parrhesia Gold Nugget Vinyl and bought the Grid Dye T-Shirt just so I can have a dyed shirt too! 👕🤩

​@@matthewmalphrus2906it aint sad

It’s not a competition Pick up those sticks and make music

quit being a cry baby and pickup your sticks and start practicing.

And he seems like a genuine nice guy too

Excuse me sir, it clearly states on their setlist that the track is titled Thots and Prayers.

Yo, you are a hero, bro! Rock on!

Why did you go through all this effort when the songs are already marked in the scrubber? Lmfao

@@billmint8122 because they weren't when i watched the video. and for mobile users.

@@billmint8122 Because when the video was uploaded 9 hours ago, the setlist wasn't up yet in the description of the video along with the scrubber. This was for us early birds who watched the video right after it was uploaded.

if you have day job you cant play never like this..he is amazing

I’ve been a drummer for over 20 years and I’ve been consistently blown away by his ability since I heard of him about 8-10 years ago.

Low blow man. Those fans wouldn’t be there if they didn’t know the band was talented..

@TeflonTwan I don't mean that ad a low blow to the band at all. I mean his talent is so high up there, I just hope they know he's very rare and it's an honor to watch a band like them live. Guess I didn't word that very well. My bad. Much respect to Animals As Leaders. They are all phenomenal artists.

I think that people that are into this kind of music are most likely musicians themselves, or at least artists of some sort, so I think they are hip to the level of musicianship and hard work all of the members have put into their respective instruments. But, I think the spirit of your post is true in the sense that Matt (as well as the other members) is beyond amazing and most of what Matt is doing is beyond the full understanding of most people (including most musicians) because he is that advanced and has put that much thought into each song and drum part, etc... Hopefully that made sense. I am just grateful to see so many people appreciating this kind of music. I have spent a lot of time feeling disheartened at the attention and accolades that certain pop musicians get for churning out awful one-dimensional songs, so to see a band like this getting the attention they deserve and to see how respectful and thoughtful all of the comments have been for their videos has given me some faith in humanity. Also, just wanted to add, that sometimes Matt makes it look easy, but other times he makes it look super hard because you can see him putting every ounce of energy and focus into keeping it from spiraling out of control, which I appreciate. I can see that he spends a lot of time riding that fine line between being in control and stretching his limit for growth. Super impressed by this band and this drummer. He makes me want to quit and practice more at the same time.

@kevinkohlbrenner591 Perfectly said! Didn't think I'd offend people with what I said but others took it the wrong way. You get it.

NEED right hahahha

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLF6atOF2MW3f3k.html

You ain't kiddin.

I'd love to hear a recorded version with Matt's drum parts

I saw them with a previous drummer one of my first times seeing them.. I'm not sure which drummer it was. From what I understand they had a cpl. I remember they played Tempting Time cuz it was of my favs back then... I do remember the drummer as well as AAL as a band I would go keep seeing...For a loooong time... Friggin Amazing band. And Matt's just next level. Perfect fit.

Careful what you wish for! Don't say that when there's a genie around! lol

Clicks and guitars

Radio

Audiobooks

I’d imagine it’s what Tosin and Javier are playing at the moment.

@@kenmorgan4496 nah, impossible

yeah legit: Matt's the most interesting thing about AAL nowadays for sure.

@@DavySolaris Matt is the most interesting thing nowadays period.

It's sad we cannot hear guitars this well but gotcha

same bro same

I like how they blend in Behaving Badly after Matt's solo

This is everything. I want to be in a drummer.

@@HerbalistGuybrush 😘

What about if you’re an accountant?

@@yungnietzsche2302 Than you're gonna do your job best as possible, knowing all the rules, etc . And realizing the job is a complete bore ;-)
