can we just appreciate the 1 inch circle on his snare drum and how crazy that is

He doesn't simply hit the snare, he unconsciously hits ONLY the center. Dude's alien. One of the best techniques the world has seen.

Those ghost notes will haunt me till the day I die

Love this dude. Been drumming for 25+ years, metal.. jazz, funk.. fusion. This guys blows me away. He should donate his brain to science.

the snare accuracy is absolutely mind blowing. GARSTKA 2016

The guy weaponized gospel chops back into heavy music like almost no one else. I hope he gets the cred he deserves over the rest of his career.

The drummers you've been able to grab recently are absolutely insane. So happy about it

Those friggin snare dynamics

As a guitar player I sometimes come to this channel to have a few "WHAT THE FUCK?" moments. It's my guilty pleasure :D Drummers are amazing, and some of these guys are just insanely good. I don't even understand how Matt remembers these parts. It just doesn't fit in my head.

Animals As Leaders is one of the best bands around!

This guy is a machine.

Every time I come back to one of these videos after improving substantially in any area of my drumming I gain an even greater appreciation for just how amazing he is.

Drumeo needs to produce Matt's drums on the next album.

Holy drum gods 2:05

This guy is a beast!!! Sick 👏🏾

I love the look, openness, and feel of a drummer smashin’ the China to his/her right! Best thing ever!

This guy is so solid as a drummer his bass and snare cuts through so well haha. Great drummer

Completely left his left foot pumping while he moves around the kit.... amazing

sick as always, matt! you are the biggest inspiration for me!!!

OMG! This is really sick! Great job, Matt.

Its watching videos like this that makes me realise that I can't count. This is phenomenal

Amazing drumming Matt!!

His performance is beyond anything but the fact he hits the snare drum in the exact same place every time is mind blowing.

Thats the most perfect and precise mark on an snare iv ever seen.

Just....astonishing command of the instrument!

2:40 he started vibing, I'm rocking to that groove

That moment when you realize that he's only 27 years old.

Great sound !! thanks !!

Love this.

Love that 2-crash setup on the left side! May steal it!

One of my favorite jazz tunes actually

Good lord those toms sound amazing

Pow pow pow ! Serious job, fantastic !

This was djust perfect.

at 1:43, you gotta appreciate that type of timing man. matt is amazing.

A few great drummers come to mind, but Matt is another universe.

Great drummer and the kit sounds GREAT!!! The toms made me tear up. :) Thumbs way up!

I love watching the hi-hat chug along in the odd time parts.

Amazing!

I'd love to see these guys live

Outstanding

This video never gets old.. that fill 2:05

I love this song

Matt 'Mattronome' Garstka is here!😍

Amazing

Fragging BEEAAASSTT !!! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉

Matt is in the top 10 of the best ever !

this is my fav song by them

That was badass!

Saw Animals yesterday live, OMG !!

Love the classic Gurska left sided head tilt

Does this guy even remember 4/4? Nuts

Ty matt

02:07 at 02:14 is the most intense seconds of drumming i've ever seen! Damn, this guy is a monster!

I like to check in once or twice a month just to revisit how ridiculously good this is!! Lol

Matt.... holy-hell is that tight! Nice composition. Big fan, buddy....

He's not just a perfect drummer/musician but he has a really cool drumming style I'm talking about the way he plays and moves

What a freak! I love this guy.

I want to see them in the writing process. Landing all the insane time sig changes .it's incredible

Such a beast.

Excelente!

mind blowing

Yes!

to the guy who says that the drums should sound like matts drums on the chon album, that drum sound is PERFECT for chon with cleaner less distorted guitars, but if you place the distortion and heaviness of animals sound with tosin and Javier's heavy ass deep 8 string guitars, those drums on the chon will not sound good. It sounds good to you in the context you heard it, imagine those drums sounds on tooth and claw or wave of babies or tempting time or mind spun, that chon drum sound will sound super weak. That's my personal opinion but I think most people would agree. There's a reason why deep booming sounding drums work best with heavy music and more natural garage style sounding drums work best with mellow chill music.

Alright, now when are you bringing Tomas Haake?

top notch!

Ya that's definitely 11/8 in the bass drum/cymbals against 4/4 in the snare at 0:47. Jesus.

insane!! Yezza!

0:12 look how consistently he hits the center of the snare every single time, and how the drum head looks as a result. CS:GO players wish they could have a spread this tight lol

sick MAAANNN!!! 💪💪💪

its probably illegal somewhere to be this good at something you do

What makes me most impressed is the hit spots left on his snare. It seems that he ONLY hits the EXACT CENTER of his snare. Amazing precision and coordination.

i memorised the rhythm at 1:00 and now i cant get it stuck out of my head what have i done

Props for keeping that hat foot going!

if I learned to drum like that, no one in my class would complain

this is it! fucking awesome!

he is so in control and it is so bloody ridiculously obvious that all of this is absolutely a cake walk and that he doesnt have to use any effort, mentally or physically to execute it flawlessly, that it just makes it hard to truly estimate just how fucking far behind any of us really are from anything close to his skill level

I really wish I knew what it's like to be a living cheat code for percussion. Matt G. is the very definition of unfair.

If there's one thing I just can't seem to pull off, it's that constant left foot counting time on the hi-hat. Jay Postones does it as well, it must be something ingrained from formative years because adding that foot to songs this complex just does my head in

2:06 I had to play that part back like 5 times just to be sure that he really did that

His accuracy is insane

1:56 i love this part

so good man... fuck yes.

GODLIKE

AWESOME playing!

Will you guys be uploading the Woven Web play through he did?

man, i need a badass drummer like matt... haha

I come here every once in a while for therapy.

Wow this video was posted an hour ago!!😌

This man is a fucking genius

Is he using the Tama slp vintage steel snare?

The crazy part about this is that it's constantly on time

The ghost notes are insane

Soooo, how do i get my tom drums to sound like that?

He is very ver y good!

building thick walls of sound, just to scour the surface looking for little openings, to slip inside with. Good

Somebody knows which snare head is he using?

that 210bpm double foot is like matt would say "damn, I'm not sure whether this is already uncoverable enough... I'll just throw a pinch of double bass and that should seal the deal"

Came here trying to figure out the part compared to the sheet music I have... Looks like I came to the wrong place lol you gotta know these songs REALLY well to be able to improvise in all these time signatures.

someone please tell me the exact names on the 2 crashes he has on the left so I can buy them. they're literally exactly what I'm looking for
