Matt is showing us total control on the music, the drum kit and whaterever imagination of 'in the moment' improvisation.. out of this world

[@thecartatree]

Hands down best drummer to walk the earth.

[@joecarter4531]

holy hell.... they just keep getting better

[@allesrachtsichirgendwannlu1893]

Aging like fine fucking wine!!! For real this tour was amazing dream theater did an amazing job

[@pattol666]

Matts a beast man, even tosin is watching him crush

[@seanwhalen8220]

out of all the insane shit matt plays I was most impressed with the groove at 17:11. So tasteful. Deeeeep in his bag

[@joeyhathaway8447]

Very satisfied by this video.

[@jamesdumas7391]

What a great show from everyone there! Never thought I’d be in a circle pit for a Dream Theater based show, but I’m glad I was! 🤘🔥

[@alonzovillarreal4666]

Ugghhh Matt is ridiculous 🔥

[@tanfizhussain3785]

Amazing! Thanks for the video!

[@brandonwood672]

Matt is the best drummer alive right now. I would have a hard time believing otherwise.

[@robj2e]

couldn't agree more, just saw them live a few days. Was in AWE

[@emwhaibee]

🦾 Thanks for sharing! 🦾

[@KarltonFranz]

Saw them in Cincinnati and yes, the seating in the "pit" area really put a dampen on the energy that the performance deserved

[@kevinhugh5411]

Matt is unreal. We are really witnessing something new here. Like the best fusion guy you can name (Weckl, Vinnie) but with all the db / metal stuff in his bag.

[@WHaTcAniSaY-nv9yk]

His T-shirt screams out loud "Here have a invisible ice cream from the shadow realm, but watch out it's a bit spikey"

[@user-pu1kr3lz2z]

Animals as leaders is John's Petricci worst nightmare😂

[@VirgoKing89]

Exactly! They are so much better. JP and DT are overrated IMO.

[@SharigramaOfficial]

My favorite Band 🤟

[@misterbaker9728]

Love this band saw em in Cleveland so sad about the guitar tech.

[@soorenamuaythai7858]

god bless denver!

[@crab-cake]

cafo is insane live lol

[@robertkleinschmidt1029]

Good lawd Gartska is a best.

[@coma39]

love the pit lol

[@diemcarl5546]

Matt as Garstka 🙌❤️

[@thatdrummeroz654]

Gordian Naught 9:10 WTAF! 🔥

[@iespi357]

Tosin as abasi 😂 Javier as reyes 😅

[@thecartatree]

25:18 Not that "Matt Garstka" needed an introduction, but by golly if he isn't drummer in the world...ever...

[@demetridutch84]

Am I crazy or am I hearing high hat hits when he is not hitting the high hat? I thought that there may be a trigger on the snare to signal a high hat sound but it just seems there is like a high hat track that is getting played. I know that is not the case but I am confused. Can you hear high-hat rhythms that he is not playing ( I am speaking specifically about the first song).

[@barito9119]

i feel like youre confusing the small stack on his right for a hihat because i can see him play everything i hear

[@viraajgupta6047]

could be his 2 small stacks which he uses a lot on the first song or he could be splashing the hi hat with his left foot on the hi hat pedal

[@aramorozco4693]

Whats the first song?

[@KarltonFranz]

ectogenesis

[@iliffavenuebrewhouse6496]

what's the name of the song at the beginning?

[@universalwinkey99]

it's raining men

[@elininja1337]

Ectogenesis

[@TheSaksutin]

Take on me

[@petrub27]

physical education

[@martingaspar8364]

Ectogenesis bro

[@JarrodJohnson-py2ks]

WHAT THA F***??!!!!! 😮

[@ericsanger4408]

Garstka is the best drummer on the planet.

[@MarcoStarink]

Don’t dig their music but i appreciate the craftmanship.

[@michaelv8721]

Yeah I’m with you. I like their music sometimes. They’re amazing but sometimes listening to them feels like math homework.

[@user-pu1kr3lz2z]

Ok, now tell me that Portnoy is the best drummer😂😂😂

[@VirgoKing89]

Yup! Portnoy and DT are highly overrated.

[@BintangWk]

I think Matt is more cool badass. Mike Mangini hasn't been able to get out of Portnoy's shadow.

[@mlklotusmann6749]

Mangini is a master who shines on his own
