+Luke Kulak Nah dude not even close to musical geniuses like Carter Beauford, Stewart Copeland, Chad Szeliga, or Gavin Harrison to name a few. Matt really lacks that soul kind of feel in his playing. It literally feels like it's just numbers like he said.

+wdrumz Nah man. In my opinion, he has amazing feel mixed with precision and technicality. Mike Mangini is another great drummer but imo has no feel what so ever. Garstka is the perfect mix for me haha

+wdrumz i mean benny greb and jp bouvet are my absolute favorites for musicality (also like gavin harrison) but matt has a style of his own, personally i could never compare his style to anyone elses its so unique. Im just saying that with how well known he is now, hell outshine most 15-20 years from now and i believe that wholeheartedly. Not to say hes "better" than anyone bc thats a difficult claim, but his popularity is growing super fast and for good reason

That would be amazing. This on the level of not better than what some of the greats back in the days have done.

Awesome how he conveys a feeling of elasticity in his rhythmic feel when playing over the click. Most people want to be able to play along to a click and keep good time. Matt goes beyond that and plays around with the time as if it were a very pliable thing that he can mold into whatever he wants. A true artist who has taken all the knowledge he's acquired and is trying to push the art form even further.

@kylecurran6747 6 жыл бұрын

People who say drumming like this PISS ME OFF. And I’m not sorry for saying it. I am a drummer. I like fusion, jazz and have played most styles. There’s something special about the way Matt goes about his playing, and the technicality does NOT kill the soul of the playing. Far from it, frankly, it’s the opposite. The technicality IS the soul of the playing. The technicality is the inner musician going “hey, how can I make this harder to play? How can I come up with something new and wonky that people haven’t seen before?” You know what that is? That’s the love of finding new walls and overcoming them. It’s the love of being a musician, challenging and improving yourself indefinitely. THAT’S what technicality is. It’s not robotic, though it may be mathematical. It’s the musician displaying their love for making something gruelingly difficult to test their limits, and then overcoming their limits by challenging themselves even further. There can be no greater love in music itself

@TS-gn2wy 5 жыл бұрын

This comment is pure common sense and rationale. I totally agree. It's not called "playing" without a reason. But drummers like Matt take it into the "creative" zone where individuality sculpts new sounds. You can love it or leave it, the decision is totally yours. But raw talent is next to impossible to deny in the witnessing of such talent, whether it agrees with your or not. I like a lot of music and dislike a lot of other. Doesn't make me an arbitor of musical taste; just a listener and proactive participant (musician) in something that brings true love and honesty to my heart and soul. Corney maybe; but true nonetheless. 😎

@jubankta1627 4 жыл бұрын

Kyle Curran Right?!Its like when people have to come over when I’m practicing I tell them please don’t expect a show matter fact you aren’t even gonna understand what I’m playing bcause I’m purposely starting patterns of with the hand or feet I normally don’t as well as putting myself in compromising situations throughout this entire session to challenge myself to create hardships to make it in spots as awkward as humanly possible so when I am playing any and everything else it will be effortless,So if you’re going to be critical or expecting a show watch a concert on KZfaq or go see a movie bcause I got shit to do!!
