This dude still inspires me like he did way back in high school

[@BADakkor]

"That's not that fast!" Oh, Matt Greiner...You naïve orange monarch butterfly of love

[@robertoesquivel4447]

xD

[@jessebowles5632]

Matt Grenier is the best man. What a guy

[@Tech4YourNeeds]

He is amazing teacher and player.

[@Craylor]

For sure! Thanks for watching!

[@joeykse8604]

Right on, bro!

[@jimbeaux89]

Matt greiner is seriously such an incredible drummer... I’ve been drumming for 15 years, and I feel like after all these years, I’m nowhere even close. He’s probably my most influential drummer, aside from portnoy, and barker. God bless you Greiner

[@magic80just14]

His blast beats are insane he’s definitely inspired me

[@35strange]

Someone get Matt on drumeo

[@f.fheartrocker7773]

yes thats right.

[@drumobsession8644]

cody strange yeh it will REK the other retards they're on there

[@Mikeyprs21]

how has this not happened yet?!

[@drewmajor9378]

Matt needs to have his own mini series on drumeo. I Would buy that so fast!

[@macp988]

the prefer a fuckin cooperdrummer who cant even hold sticks properly....

[@mattwatson1744]

Really has a gift for motivating through teaching. A lot of drummers, particularly in metal, are awful at articulating most of what they write, let alone being able to communicate a wide array of lessons. Amazing drummer and teacher.

[@Chodda]

Matt is my idol. He is such a stand up guy!! I saw ABR on tour at Starland last year and he walked up to the crowd after the show and handed me a stick!! Out of all the people he could have picked he chose me because I was playing air drums with my hands LOL

[@eijonasson]

Why did I just get "goose bumps" while reading this ? Best to call them "truth bumps." Thanks for sharing !

[@jeffweaver955]

Amazing how humble he is with that amount of talent

[@drumstick7119]

For YEARS I wanted a explanation/ breakdown on composure and you have it on here! So thank you so much for this video!🤘🏼 He's a Great teacher

[@Craylor]

Jacolby Pesqueda no problem! I'm glad I had the opportunity to learn from him, and I'm glad he let me film and post it!

[@Micah__]

Thank you so much for recording and uploading this. I constantly search KZbin for anyone that would upload his lessons. 👍🏻

[@Craylor]

You're welcome!

[@agee23]

I got a one on one lesson with what was supposed to be a group on Warped tour but I was the only one to sign up!

[@thejoanz]

Who the hell shows up late to a lesson from Matt?!

[@drumobsession8644]

Corey Charles YESSS EMBEUHHHH

[@ericpetersen6188]

Lol that's why he put him in the view of the camera hahaha

[@TheColorTheft68]

[@retrogore420]

5 seconds in I added it to my favorites. Thanks for the upload.

[@resisttrump4467]

This is how I teach my students, ( girl drummers) once they learn their rudiments. Love to watch you play Matt. Thanks for all you do.

[@Jackymojo]

Loves it! Everything he has said in this video is what my drum teacher would tell me back when I was 16.

[@Branchofsin]

Matt is seriously such a kind soul. Met him at Warped back in the day and got him to sign a drum head. He asked me why I wanted his autograph lmao. Hes super humble and kind.

[@danieljbe5238]

This was super inspiring and really good stuff packed into it! Gonna practice now !

[@allanv2010]

[@TheGodsMustBeCrazy]

I've taken two lessons with him and he's such a great teacher.

[@Craylor]

Indeed!

[@flyingpolyp5937]

This helped me a lot. Thank you so much!

[@mesmith2526]

Thanks for posting this. Been drumming for more than a decade (self taught the first 4-5 years) and could never master double strokes (in general). This helps so much. You always have to keep learning!

[@brilliantclothingcompany5115]

Such a talented dude and such a nice person

[@AEarls1015]

I've been playing off and on for about 15 years. 6 years really diggin' into it and I've never seen someone break down 1/4 to 1/32 so easily. Great video.

[@ChateauJuice]

Thank you so much for posting. I now realize I lack technique soon much. Matt is a freaking magician on the kit. Guy can talk while playing all that stuff simultaneously...

[@M0RZ3N]

Thanks for that. This lesson was super fun, and informative. :)

[@wanlongsanmarboh2283]

Thank you so much for this. Learned a lot from here...

[@nathanking9630]

Thanks for the upload

[@klote82]

this is awesome thanks for posting!

[@joeykse8604]

Awesome instructional! Wish I were in a class with Matt not only cause he's the drummer from one of my favorite bands but mainly because he's so down to earth, a genius, amazing at explaining everything and making the students feel motivated and confident that they can learn, play and are capable of pretty much everything. I never really realized how great a teacher he is. Definitely taking notes and applying them. Thanks dude for posting the video and thanks Matt for being cool as sh*t! \m/

[@HoosierHacker]

What a great lesson!!

[@annualgiftman9472]

I love ABR, this lesson is great thank you for sharing : )

[@isaacvelasquez1606]

sweet lesson matt is a great teacher!!

[@mvcnow]

Thank you for sharing this! I'm excited to start practicing more on my electric kit in my apartment! Matt is so fucking cool! Took a selfie with him when he was at the Rave in Milwaukee! Super pumped to meet him again even if it was brief!

[@heatherdelina735]

Wow thank you so much like all that I want to learn are finally in one package

[@djmatthew123]

Wow thank you Soo much Matt for this lesson... opened up a lot of ideas and answers that I was looking for that other KZbin teachers cudnt give me...really helpful..thank you again...keep uploading please....Matthew..

[@grxygxds]

such a beautiful soul.

[@shawnpoelman3762]

This is fantastic.

[@drumzRfun1]

Really good teacher.

[@aprodan5245]

Thx for sharing!!!

[@jeffreydean5112]

I gained a bad habit of leading sometimes with my right foot and sometimes with my left foot. For constant strokes i lead with my left, rolls or singles I lead with my right (triplets as well). It was a bad habit I learned from being self taught but I started practicing to strengthen both and now I play with both feet leading. Gaining bad habits (especially for self-taught players like myself) can turn into something good and versatile. Just have to put in the work and practice.

[@jessekahl2079]

Thank you for this! I got a lesson with him at the New Orleans date but we went over mostly different stuff so this is cool to see!

[@Noob_Hunter5886]

Jesse Kahl bruh I missed him when he came to NOLA. Idk love to get lessons from him.

[@AP-pj4in]

amazing information for drummers, especially those who want to play metal

[@DrewDrums]

Good Job! Keep up the good work!

[@xipetorres9045]

[@jonnybravo4322]

[@ron6020]

Met him twice. Such an awesome dude!

[@TupDigital]

Thanks for posting this! -the future

[@alexmoutin3773]

This has helped me a hell of a lot, thanks for uploading! definitely gonna take some of this info and utilise it into my drumming routine. I think I remember him mentioning what gear was used for that particular lesson, but could someone remind me what those drum heads were?

[@Stonestoff]

Thanks man its helped me a lot :d

[@buddahganja4707]

I would love lessons from Matt. Would never show up late!!!!!!!!!

[@younglobwedge]

[@jankydisplay]

[@SauceGod666]

[@Jenskymusic]

[@Attekun]

So basicly ABR is just Taylor Swift with more notes :D

[@leedanielisla2440]

And technicality 🤣

[@itsjustern93]

Where did this lesson take place? Super informative and well-taught from Matt!

[@Craylor]

Ernesto Grassi Rocketown in Nashville

[@jeremiahharvey965]

This is awesome! Does anybody know where I can get that worksheet he talked about in the beginning? That sounds so helpful.

[@Craylor]

Everything I have that he sent is linked in the description!

[@jeremiahharvey965]

Christian Taylor awesome, thanks!

[@joeykse8604]

Thanks for asking that question, dude and thanks Jeremiah for answering it cause I've watched this video 3 times in a row and haven't clicked on the description. Lol!

[@KAJYT6969]

Where is this? How do I sign up haha

[@phile5437]

I always called it hammer blasts

[@justindamico1165]

Anybody know what kind of settings he uses on his pedals i know its all about technique but im looking for some diff opinions on settings

[@TheFaan83]

Is he using his ankles when playing fastdoublebass? looks like full leg but thats superhard in faster tempos..did me metion that? :D Nice vid man ty very much

[@Setri123]

maybe he's using floating feet

[@Chris-vw3yc]

Anyone let me know what he does to make that kit so quiet? I know the cymbals but is that a practice pad snare? What about kick and toms?

[@PL94HxC]

Can someone tell me which kit he is using in the video?

[@waitemc]

on my top 5 bucket list people to meet , most likely #2

[@mattapotato]

i met him at the messengers tour, great guy.

[@alexanderdanza]

59:25 Vital Sings

[@combatwombatt]

what bass drum practice pad is he using lol

[@zacharybrown624]

anyone know what kind of kit this is?

[@synhet84]

8:45 all you need to know when learning ABR lol

[@williamc1149]

If 16ths notes have 4 hits per pulse how many hits per pulse do 32nd notes have?

[@blakebelyeu4405]

8!

[@alexanderdanza]

57:09 King of Sorrow

[@TheRandomSpectator]

What happened with the volume dip?

[@Craylor]

TheRandomSpectator I have manual audio controls on my camera, but since it's a t5i, I just have a "clipping" light on my mic to go off of while recording, and that's it. I was trying to compensate at the time and adjust the volume so it wouldn't be clipping. I wish my camera had a more detailed audio meter to look at while recording.

[@klatschnesemmelinsgsicht7383]
