Trump needs to get Matt on the phone asap. This man knows how to handle China.

[@siLVerbaLLzzz64]

I think he could handle everything with his drum set

[@Deadtide]

It's been like 6 months of hearing this breakdown and it never gets old

[@trevorschnedler4472]

3:30 Try not to headbang ;)

[@gideonjohnston7650]

abahaha me too but which one is the real question

[@isaacdynys6518]

First or second one? Which is your fav?

[@paulberlucchi9878]

The first breakdown hits so hard 😈

[@Hamid8766]

Same here. The second breakdown is beyond awesome.

[@fettfan91]

“That dude is an athlete!” My dad, after watching Matt drum.

[@Hamid8766]

God bless your dad

[@MattGreiner]

And yet the question still remains, who is gonna deliver that sentence?

[@Deadtide]

You!

[@akcustom7838]

Matt, depends on what the song is talking about. I guessed it was God, but I saw a reaction to this song by D-Gibby (you should watch btw) and he said it was about you going through a rough time someone treating you badly and your dad standing up for you?

[@guybutts3]

The jury and executioner? Am I doing this right? Hello, is this meTube on?

[@jwaschke666]

Matt, I absolutely love these videos! I watch them obsessively, that are so much fun to watch and share. Thank you for the music and these videos sir.

[@ThatBeTheQuestion]

We will never know, my friend.

[@djguydan]

That snare is so deep that James Cameron is exploring it with a submarine.

[@thisnthat7760]

🤣🤣🤣

LMAO!!

@djguydan funny you say that, I was reading about the titanic this morning hhaa

😂😂😂✌️

[@zacharykoedyker3978]

You think thats deep? You should see

[@ForeverInBetweenBand]

Matt just gets more creative with each new record. Dude is a machine. Also continues to have the greatest posture in metal.

[@ThatBeTheQuestion]

The greatest posture

Chris Turner would like a word with you

Yuuupppp same

Dude fucking same

[@daltonmcmillen995]

That little tink cymbal hit at 2:20 is so insignificant, but so well placed. This dude is heavy into detail work.

[@Kuroi_chō]

Thats my favorite part tho. Just gives me a tingle each time

[@josiejams9018]

One of the few musicians where I find more details after years of listening to him

[@Chattsteezy]

Also @ 2:08 lol

[@ahuman9113]

His writing skills blow my mind

[@w3t2f1]

That crash choke into the China at 3:57 is legendary!

[@texasmayne]

Something about watching Matt drum really gets me going. If I can pursue something with the same passion he has for drumming, I cannot lose.

[@jlopes2427]

FUCK YES

[@anthropicPanda]

No one accents like Matt Greiner accents..my god that's some freakin style. Just keep these comin cuz I can't stop watching them.

This dude's pretty good

That's an understatement lol

A SOLID 5 out of 7

Best in the game

I'm just always amazed at how Matt can make REALLY FAST drumming look so easy and relaxed.

[@jasonpopcorn655]

I'm from Turkmenistan and ABR is my favourite band, unique musicians that never disappoint, love y'all guys

[@coreyp6614]

Matt never writes a bad drum part! Great play through and loved to see Matt singing along

[@shorty6136]

That smile at the end says it all. The pineal gland released adrenaline to his brain. Feels so good. Gigedy gigedy goo Oh!!!

[@kamehamedouken8869]

Love how he sings along and plays. This man gets into the whole song and lives it

[@cgrind3000]

Yeah and he wrote this one so you know it’s pretty personal for him

[@kamehamedouken8869]

@@cgrind3000 I heard he wrote a few of the songs lyrics, wasn't sure if he wrote this one. That's awesome 😊

[@danielsntg]

His drum set needs a defender! Dude was showing it no mercy!

[@alejandroxan]

Matt is the top metalcore drummer hands down. Not the most technical, not the most "groovy," not the fastest, but he encompasses all the skill and technique to conquer the genre.

[@canadiankid42]

Yep. I thoroughly enjoy this

[@ohnoitsjohno]

00.34 the pause before the snare hit on time is too good

[@RyanxDunn]

What an absolute banger. These drum parts are so awesome.

[@juanarturoperezrojas2536]

The only one I give like without seeing it. Never disappoints me. God bless you guys.

[@alexoday5224]

His kit looks so comfortable to play. Every piece bleeds into one another beautifully.

[@bakerXderek]

Such a beast drummer

[@sevaguillon1619]

Matt and Danny Carey are my favorite drummers. Completely different styles, both are awesome!

[@nicksmith8166]

Same!

[@rolllimbo973]

1:30 I have rewatched this about 50 times now just so much energy

[@kyleKINGSMEN]

Very well may be my favorite parts ever written by Matt

[@TsunamiDreamJesusIsLord]

For some reason, I just love watching videos of Matt playing drums... God has blessed him

[@freddycoto9289]

He has been my inspiration since 2002.

[@BrianJohnson-zt3nm]

They are so good live, Matt beats the brakes off them drums. Just saw them not long ago, can't wait for them to come back to VA.

[@shawnanderson6573]

Dude is an absolute beast at the kit man

[@carlosmandingo2286]

Matt you play drums so brutal and honest

[@JoeMikeMakes]

Matt does nothing short of compose his parts. They are so methodical, intentional, and intricate. He's writing a symphony of drum heads and cymbals.

[@darrengee936]

RIGHTEOUS WRATH on that drumset!

[@kevinlesniewski6024]

Didn't know that Cesc Fàbregas was playing drums in a metal band :D

This is great. I thought I was the only one that saw the resemblance. It's uncanny

[@Mighty_Mersh]

I got to the last minute of the song and got so pumped i flipped my desk in my office.... Now I'm cleaning up my office. \m/ Thanks ABR for your music. I've been here listening for over 15 years now.

[@Stavolisellscars]

GOOD LORD that breakdown though

[@maddrummer910]

Such conviction

[@11not10]

An absolute beast at work

[@elliottkleckner]

Can't wait to see them tour again. Was bummed when they canceled their shows and I couldn't attend, but man I can't wait to see them tour with this new album. It's going to be insane. Please start it off in Lancaster county :)

Hopefully Philly always a good time great metal city

They’ll do a ‘virtual concert’ think it’s gonna be quite some time before we see concerts again

[@Y_AlienJustice2O99]

Magistral 🥲🫴🏻

[@bryanbrady3514]

I just read how Matt wrote the lyrics to this song. You can see it in the way he plays it’s a meaningful one.

[@johnneiberd]

Absolutely superior drumming. Hopefully less skilled drummers don’t find that offensive.

[@EthanWood757]

Naw, I look up to Matt.

[@regul8or71]

Only insecure people would be offended by that, by comparing themselves. If anything, it should give us inspiration. Heck, if anything this comment that I’m making right now might be more offensive than yours. But that’s okay. The truth can be hard to swallow ;)

[@ElijahJohnsonDrums]

That’s why the vid has like 30 dislikes, some drummers are extremely jealous of better drummers. I guess they think they feel offended by Matt’s amazing drumming.

[@c95060]

@@ElijahJohnsonDrums Nah I don't think so... I mean, dude is in fact talented, but it's not like his playing is the most impressive thing ever imo

Beast dude, just a drum beast!

[@josephwillard6461]

I still remember meeting all these dudes and getting a shirt signed personally to me. Hes an inspiration to drummers everywhere.

[@elijerrr]

The problem I’m seeing here is that I’ve been watching this guy for literally almost the entirety of the ABR career, and as each new release comes out, somehow he stays consistent with many things, yet the creativity is so wild enough that he makes this look just as easy as the old material... but it is most definitely not. I can hardly keep up with how genius and heavy his drumming is. Each album just keeps getting more cool, yet more hard to play. Thanks a lot, my head hurts every time I try to fathom every minute detail in these songs.

[@mattfredericks5855]

Love how you can see that he really enjoys his craft. In case y'all haven't heard of it, check out his podcast "The Holy Ghost Notes"!

[@simon4321]

Yeah his Podcast is great!

I have no idea if you will even see this, Matt. I hope you do! Your timing is something. God bless you guys, hopefully when Cov-sars2 is over everyone in the chat can come see you guys live!

[@thebusinessgoose3350]

The fills have fills, everything perfectly accentuated, meanest and cleanest tune ever on those heads. 2:40 is reminiscent of Messengers while simultaneous proof that they continue to grow and are, in this guys opinion, one of the best bands metal has and will ever see. Matt Greiner along with the rest of this band are truly blessed in their abilities as musicians. They don't know how to disappoint. All hail the king of china!!

[@assuerorenton1575]

It's a higher level. Matt is an extraordinary drummer. I loved to watch it!
