The part where he goes out to get coffee and comes back just in time is the most technically impressive I've seen in any song.

It's one thing listening to Animals as Leaders, but to see them performing - individually or as a group - takes my appreciation for each song to a whole new level every time. So good.

Been calling Matt a Modern Great for a while now. Far Advanced. This man literally goes down in history as one of the world's greatest drummers in the legacy of musicians while still be fairly young. Not just because he's able to perform and come up with the baddest drum grooves and rhythms, not only because his schooling and dedication to the craft beyond the grind of a musician sleeping in a van to perform the gigs, but he's also teaching viewers on his website and still elevating his already amazing skills keeping everything fresh. As an indirect student from his website any time I even see Matt, it's time to hit the kit and workout the second I get off work. He signed my Byzance Crash and he inspires me as a practitioner to keep reaching for that feel and tightness and its helped me perform with awesome artists learning from the way he educates students. I hope this guy keeps skyrocketing as a person and as an honorary dedicated composing drummer. Edit: "Quite My Tempo." 🔥

I’m almost 50, have 3 kids, seen double rainbows, and thunder snow, and this is still one of the dopest things I’ve ever seen

Matt is so powerful that he can speed up time so he can drive, get coffee come back and not miss a hit

So with the colorful clothes, the hair and beard, those shades, and his gains from hitting the gym, Matt has become the modern day Macho Man Randy Savage!

Matt is the king of drumming. He even walks like he's been riding a horse his whole life because he sits on his throne so often.

I absolutely love that you brought back the coffee thing from the Backpfeifengesicht playthrough!

Good lord Matt is an animal. Just so damn rhythmically fluent. He obviously holds the time crystal and is just toying with the rest of us mere mortals. He likes to push and pull at the edges, then coyly pull back the curtain and give us glimpses of what we could do with time and rhythm. If we we didn't all suck.

I was a “serious dedicated drummer” all my youth- turned to hardcore bodybuilding in my 20s and 30s- now retired and back to my first passion- and this video hit all the right spots. The tension building during the montage, hoping he would be back in time for his cue- and of course, the “power bro walk down the hall”- it has been so cool to watch Mr. Gartska grow and evolve over this last decade. Nothing makes my soul happier than true “earned arrogance”. Thank you, Matt.

I would buy an album of just his drumming.

I could watch Matt all day long!

It amazes me how Matt can still hold a backbeat on the 3 and never mess up. Given how busy this song is, I find that very impressive

When's the Matt Garstka Signature Ride dropping? Unbelievable playing, makes me want to practice.

Can we all agree that Matt is the final boss of drumming now?

3:29 is one of the coolest shots I've ever seen in a drum video! Absolutely killin it, thank you for doing all these playthroughs! One of the greatest drummers of our generation and quite possibly even beyond that. Mindblowing stuff as always!

That's actually a fun and creative use of time when there is a no drum part in a song. Next level production right there.

Dopest song on the new album for sure. That middle section is massive.

Matt's got that workout waddle going. Killing it on the kit as always!

I was really waiting for this ! Favorite song of the album, and what a performance !

My respect for Matt just went up x100. I mean, he went out in public with those clothes!

Garstka beast getting better and bigger every year. Hard work, discipline and in the case of this man ridiculous amounts of talent.

What a pleasure to watch and hear. Thank you!

Absolutely brilliant! Cheers Matt

I'm so glad that Matt is in our lives.

Favorite track off the album! That build up in the middle is great story telling

Thoroughly enjoyed Matt’s playthroughs for this album, I can already say at least for me he is my playthrough artist for 2022

Tremendo. No solo tenés que ser habilidoso. Sino también la capacidad de crear esta pieza musical con la batería, y encima recordar pieza por pieza. Y ni hablar que ya tiene un par de temas en el repertorio. What a memory! Su cerebro está en otro nivel, musicalmente hablando.

I just want that dyed shirt-pants combo!

Fuck I was hoping he’d do this. My favorite song on the album.

Cool to see behind the scenes. Matt is amazing to watch so much feel amazing drummer! 😎🤘

Such a musical player - really appreciate getting to focus on what he does for the song here. Hilarious coffee break! He used to look & sound (voice) like a little happy kid. Now the whole band is buff like video-game creatures wielding giant axes & hammers - and they sound like it.

Great talent, beautiful studio and very cool tie dye outfit.

Probably my favorite playthrough of their songs. Also my favorite so far from the album❤️

I waited so long for this one! My favorite off the album

Love the video edits Matt. Team is looking good 🤘🏼🥁 Guitars and drums coming in half way through us other worldly

🤣🤣🤣 loved the break in the middle....and the bass frequencies in this mix are beautiful.

thank you for all that you do!

Always such clean playing. What an inspiration you are man

The groove near the end between the bass drums and the stacks is soooo sweet.

These videos are the best!

So glad I can finally see this song performed, this made my day.

Matt is pushing the limits of the possibilities in music on the kit... absolutely stunning craftsmanship!

Woah...almost caught a glimpse of Metal Matt when he tossed those shades on.

Those cymbals looking very magical

Best track on this unbelievable album. Amazing!

just phenomenal

YES!!!! My favorite song!

Best drummer alive. As simple as that!

Awesome performance congrats💪

Way above my pay grade as a drummer but Garstka steps up and does it for us...in between trips to the store and sips on a latte. One of the best!

Ohhhhh man, this video is SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC!!!!!!! The double bass is just on another level, AAAAAAMMMAAAAAAAAAZING!!!!!

Gotta support the crew.....Little coffee break action. Incredible as always Matt.

2:10 reminds me of backpfeifengesicht lmao I love that METAL MATT

Yes!!!!! Been waiting for this

This is probably my favorite song on the whole album and I say that while loving every other song on the album. This one just hits different

Divine chops, consistently...

2:53 the exact look my wife gives me when I say I’m staying up late to game with the boys. As a drummer, that’s the “imma bout to go hard” look.

amazing !! matt on fire!! greetings from Chile

awesome... and the milkshake break were so hilarious hahahah

Was waiting for this one

man these meinl playthroughs sound phenomenal! much smoother than the other batch

Bravo !!! drumming and I Love the drink break and back to the song :)

wow, siempre me sorprenden y alucino y me imagino mucho con sus canciones, son geniales y más. Bravo por Matt ☕👍😊

Como siempre eres el mejor baterista felicitaciones

Many thoughts 😂: 1. I love the direction Matt took the drumming on his album. I would call it "Technically expressive, bombastic metal pocket." Manz iz creative!!! 2. I thought he was going to another kit to play the e-drum part. 😅 3. "One-take" my ash! I caught that slip at 2:06! Shoulda put your sticks down! 😂 You inspire me daily, Matt. Thank you.

Love that timelapse interlude ☕️🏃

This took me back to the amazement I had when I first found them with the madness of many album

Bro the muscles 💪🏼 the grind don’t stop for metal Matt 🤘 freaking amazing

Apart from the drumming community, it needs to be recognized just how much of an impact this mans playing has on neurodivergence and polyrhythmic therapy

My favorite of the new album!

favorite track from the album

Sick. amazing. inspiring.

Matt, looking swole bro. Remember seeing you guys play with CHON in atl years ago. Still my favorite drummer. I wasn’t even able to move, I just watched in awe at the talent.

This my favorite song off this album 🤘

Best song off their new one

This song is just brilliant-Matt’s clothes are a hoot but god is he a beautiful drummer. And such a beefcake! Haha! I love this song.

Hilarious drive too the coffee store that's a new one nice job Matt.🤯🤔

My fav off new album!

I almost feel sorry for his two crash cymbals after his caffeine break. 😁🤪 Love you buddy, Dr. Dave

The Hulk on his pleny ! Great video

Killin it Matt 🤘

The transformation of the last time I saw Matt til this second is super crazy

Best modern drummer out there!

Go Matt! This is legendary. and damn i want coffee now

Amazing!!

The herta placement in the first minute of the song was worth the price of admission.

1:28 - The Madness of Many Matts

Pretty good Matt!

Absurdo! Toca muito..

I knew that he would leave Thoughs and Prayers for the last playthrough just to tease us!

I like this mix more than the official release 😭

This man is a menace. The shades. The drip. The chops almost take a back seat now.

YOU GUYS GOT MATT GARSTKA?!!? SICK!!!!!!!

Nooice!, Matt is a Beast and I'm going to experiment with the cotton balls in the toms trick ASAP.

Álbum perfeito

Yes, yes, and more yes!

my favorite from the new album, this song has everything i love about aal with nothing i don’t

Hell yeah!!! Mans a beast.

tears of musical ecstasy flow from my eyes!
