Nicest guy ever! He got down to the fence and talked to me and my friend after the show. No problem taking pictures, and he gave my friend who is a drummer a drumstick. This happened twice , years apart at shows in Stockholm . His drumming really is a part of what makes August Burns Red unique.

[@datroman1]

At every show, this dude comes down after the set and interacts with fans. Fantastic musician, and a good dude.

[@phantommessengers]

As a fellow drummer, Matt is one of my many inspirations. And not only is he an extremely talented musician, but he's SUPER nice in real life. Can't wait to see him absolutely kill it on the Constellations tour in August!

[@altpress]

PhantomMessengers 🤘🤘He has an incredible outlook on drums, craftsmanship and life in general. Matt’s an incredible inspiration.

[@th3M3t4Lh3adAA-Ron]

I'm gonna be at the Pittsburgh show Aug 10 I haven't seen them since 2012 I'm so excited

[@altpress]

Aaron Snyder Have a great time!

[@gabrielgomer]

He’s so calm and humble. Remember meeting him after a gig and he took his time being really nice to everyone. A good example in the metal scene.

[@BryonLetterman]

Meeting Matt Griener earlier this month in Kansas City for their Constellations tour was incredible. Huge fan.

[@danielmorgan1582]

drummers everywhere are now taping their shoes to pedals.

[@altpress]

Daniel Morgan 😂😂🤘🤘

[@TheWitchOvAgnesi]

No, only the idiots. OK, the *majority* of drummers then.

[@josephkimple]

Warped Tour one year featured music lessons from different performers on the tour and I got gifted a drum lesson from Matt as I was working on drumming at the time and when I met him I got so nervous I was shaking so bad I could barely hit the drums. Man's a legend.

[@nickferchau3013]

Matt you are such an amazing drummer. Saw you at warped tour in Mountain View. Really appreciate your attitude towards your fans and your gracious character. God bless you and August Burns Red!

[@chadiusmaximus9350]

I feel like Aaron Kitcher of Infant Annihilator sold his soul to get his drumming skills.

[@danielf5388]

Okay, see, I know infant annihilator, but I was thinking of mortal drummers. Not drummers that descended from a distant astral plane.

[@grahamthegrand]

watch till the end, thank you so much. Matt has inspired me since i started a band when i was 12, 10 years later im playing drums again 🙏

[@altpress]

Graham the Grand That’s awesome!! What was your band called?

[@grahamthegrand]

Alternative Press not together anymore, i produced and play drums apart of this project now. ‘Graham the Grand’

[@dbdj0nts]

Wow, man. The 3 S's makes so much sense. I used to get straight to the things I sucked and I would get early burnout and eventually get discouraged. Absolutely makes sense! Thanks for sharing this awesome info AP/Matt!

[@jessekahl2079]

I have good posture behind the kit from the sole fact that I’ve watched so many videos of him drumming. Thanks Matt!

[@Anselmodemattos]

That man is one of my favorite drummers... PLEASE COME TO BRAZIL AGAIN!!!!

[@ajsdrums6080]

This is awesome, Matt Greiner is an absolutely incredible drummer.

[@altpress]

AJS Drums Thanks so much for watching!! Mr. Greiner is a phenom behind the kit.

[@OGareskog]

Matt is my biggest inspiration! Incredible drummer and an outstanding person!

[@lazaruscomplexofficial]

Gaff tape sales have now tripled after this video

[@cosmicanbu]

I just started playing drums. Feels good!!

[@envyismusic4204]

Excited to see ABR in Atlanta next Friday in August 2nd!

One of the best drummers in the game🤘

Meeting him was amazing. Tossed me a stick and signed it!

Played piano for 4 years but didnt know a 4/4 beat? Matt was kicking the womb in more complex time signatures

I'm a simple man, I see Matt greiner, I upvote.

[@joecooper8527]

P.O.D is a solid band to start out with.

[@hammermcpounderton8344]

Matt's a bad-a drummer. 🤘 I love August Burns Red.

[@mellindrums]

The grip between French and German is called American grip. Matched grip just means that both hands use the same grip at the same time.

[@TheWitchOvAgnesi]

Surprising that this guy who has no clue about such a thing would be getting interviewed. Even more surprising is that he wasn't corrected and this error edited out.

[@Unknownusername1004]

@@TheWitchOvAgnesi look up any song august burns red have ever made and you can tell he knows his shit hes the only drummer they've ever had

[@Micah__]

More importantly 3:18 how far back does J.B. rock that same haircut??? Lol

He's totally right piano is a essential part of home schooling all my friends play piano and so do I a bit but after my brother played for 3 years I started to learn to but then i started to play guitar and bass

That's what I thought... until I saw Seth Rollins

i love this beautiful man

[@jamichaelwiley1108]

yall couldn't put a fresh head on that snare? lol.

[@zachmclaren9539]

Old heads have a nice unique sound

[@colinserbu2006]

I am not saying it was easy for him cause he is one of my favorite dummers. But he is lucky that he had full support and his family had a place for him to play. I had a kit for like 2 years and couldn’t play it cause I didn’t have a place to play.

[@TunnelJumper]

Colin Serbu nope, his situation definitely made it easy for him. My parents instantly regretted buying me my first kit at the beginning of 2007. It was SO loud and shook the house so things would fall and smash. We didn’t have much money so I neglected high school in favour of working as much as I could and buying double kick pedals and meinl byzance cymbals. They would only let me play when nobody was home because their ears would be ringing if I did. Naturally, there was always somebody there so even though by this point, I have really nice gear, it really, really hindered my progress and work ethic toward the drums.

[@tommcpherson7566]

Every abr song has inredible drum parts. For me for some reason spirit breaker and marathon always stood out. Quake is also awsome.

[@myxos]

Tom Mcpherson Marathon...

[@Scaronable]

Is he going with the beard and longer hair again.. Love it!

[@jeremytannehill9427]

Thanks for the awesome video! Btw, what is the song playing at the beginning of the video? About 55 seconds in

[@dimebagdarrell4949]

He’s so mature, gotta love Matt though

[@kyledunegan7388]

I play the drums as a hobby, and I’m honestly really bad 😂 I do think that this helped and gave me motivation tho!

[@altpress]

kyle dunegan Keep playing! Remember Matt’s Three S’s! 🤘

The best at it always have the worst methods to correct techniques. Haha, I love it.

Unfortunately “religion” doesn’t want you listening to heavy music. Religion is a joke, but faith is something natural and seen as a perspective

[@Glass_Caskets]

Drummer makes or breaks songs in the heavy rock/metal genres.

Farm core gaff metal.
