Matt cuts through 🔪 Trust! 🤯

[@tankbusterJ]

Could you react to Hai Yo From Berserk please

[@nathanwinn4375]

I saw them live earlier this month. They opened for Incubus, and their mix was perfection!

[@Josiah-ve6su]

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

@@Josiah-ve6su They were not for me.

[@Akrymir]

Looking forward to your review of them live. What's so impressive to me is how good they sound live, especially considering their writing style.

[@marcio1745]

Imma say this again. Your drums reactions are SICK. As a drummer, this is exactly what I expect from reaction. Specially with Matt. I want someone that also understands his proficiency lvl and validates what I feel. He is so amazing and so are you dude. I watched your reactions on Matt dozens of times. Thank you

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

🤘🤘

[@HotQahwe]

Hey man you picked some great tracks that not everyone covers. Thanks for breaking it down for us percussionists , we love this stuff. Also ive seen them twice, both times were amazing and I've been to many many concerts. They improve on their sound constantly . Good video thank you again & i subbd for more drum stuff

[@JKuyaNY]

Matt Garstka = 🐐

[@The512Dude]

One listen and you bought tickets? Hahaha! Love that

[@danathanaurelius4685]

Great job bro 👍

[@MDUBE5999]

Thanks for sharing! These guys are something else. I think that we have Terry Bozzio and A.I. for changing the game. As I recognized that pattern @ 3:33 from Terr's Ostinato videos!? H... Wait till see Red Miso that was Tosin's idea w/ the splash and Gordian Naught!? WHOA!!

[@DrewDawkins]

Matt's Gestaltzerfall playthrough is incredibly tasty, and I think you'd enjoy looking into it.

[@danathanaurelius4685]

A must Or thoughts and prayers Or red miso

[@Dechral]

have a blast at the show!

[@iplaythepotato698]

goes insane

[@21380]

His drumming is so multi-level it started marketing a pyramid scheme

[@youoj6637]

日本のXJAPANの『紅(kurenai)』という歌はYOSHIKIがドラムを叩いていますが、YOSHIKI殺しと呼ばれています。こちらも素晴らしいですが、ぜひkurenaiも聞いてみてください😊

[@julessimon7665]

Matt is like a buffy professor

[@ibrahimutant]

Please post a review/recap of your experience seeing them live for the first time!

[@ericdravenX00X]

The look at the end he gives the camera is a look of.... Ok Next Track! Matt is a Master of Craft..

[@jonathantremel3732]

Hey man, been following your journey of AAL discovery. As a former DCI/WGI snare drummer, it's interesting to watch someone with marching background approach these kinds of songs; I was actually padding out with my Vic Firth Roger Carter's right before watching this, so 3:06 was funny to hear - I'm assuming you're alluding to his exercise Zero G (Weightless by AAL.) Most of their songs are rhythmically focused enough to create an accompanying drumline score. My personal favorite candidate is Cognitive Contortions from AAL's album 'The Madness of Many' (kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKOTqXuOfNiimMk) There're some fun metric modulations, like Triplets in 4/4 to Sixteenth Notes in 3/4, Triplets in 6/8 to Sixteenth notes in 4/4 (retains the initial ninelet pulse and aligns it with a 4/4 backbeat,) and then ends with a shit ton of time signature changes at the end. And of course, there's a drum playthrough with Matt, in case that was enough to pique your curiosity. I recently saw them live in Orlando and it was the best/craziest concert I've ever been to, so looking forward to hearing about your experience. Obviously it's more niche, but would be interesting to see you break down DCI/WGI material. Anyways, keep up the good work, man!

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

I just now saw this comment. Great to have more drumline people in the community. Yea man... this band is serious big brain stuff. I love it. The show was cool. Very very cool. I'll never stand in the middle front again tho. Lmao. Im too old for when it got rough lol lol. I likely need to do some dci stuff on here soon.

[@ralphmunn6689]

Tony, you actually said the quiet part out loud at 12:44 - if Thor were incarnate, he would have to be Thor Garstka. 🙏

[@HoopyFroodood]

I saw AAL live twice, they were fabulous. How was your concert? Christ man, I thought I was a music nerd. I can't comprehend most of what you're saying. I caught something about the snare and sextuplets?

[@Keya_]

React to "Battle against a true hero" It's a must

[@azkalsulaiman925]

Can't wait for you to react to Eve!😁 Every song is unique and have phenomenal drum plays. I'll recommend listening to: - Dramaturgy - Tokyo Ghetto - Last Dance - Don't Replay The Boredom - How to Eat Life - Night is Faint - Leo - Demon Dance Tokyo - Raison D'etre And much more!

[@29kesiu]

I’m honestly surprised you haven’t reacted to Made in Abyss ost yet, easily one of the best ost

[@atharvakarawade9054]

Can't wait for you to react to Minami's songs( singer of Domestic gf OP) Lilac is a pretty good one

[@lukelandry1879]

YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT HIS OTHER BAND VICTORIA, JUST AS CRAZY

[@Mischievalrous]

Completely off the topic. I was just rewatching your analysis of AoT emU Suite and I wanted to ask upto what point have you caught up with the show? Last time I guess you said in an OST video that you were on Ep. 19 of S1 but it's been a long time since then, so I was kinda curious. :)

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

I'm done with season 2

[@Mischievalrous]

@@DrumRollTonyReacts whoa, didn't expect to get a reply after a week. That's great, Season 2 was awesome. You probably might've enjoyed the YouSeeBigGirl T:T in Episode 6 the most. Good luck for Season 3, it only gets better.

[@Benedict-Seelemeyer-Lindsley]

You've never heard the joy of motion before? That's a great album if you really want to get into these guys start there let that album sinking and then go to madness and then what you're listening to now will make much more sense but the joy of motion is easily the most psychologically audibly accessible

[@Benedict-Seelemeyer-Lindsley]

I can understand a lot of people started getting into them in the last year or 2 or a couple of years but Starting here is like Taking mass in your freshman year but calculus and then working you way backwards to geometry so if you want to start with you know The basics of matt, Don't start at the most complicated thing Go back to joy of motion and even you want to see some cool other work he's done, little 3 piece called gem, and songs torque and the other few,there's only like 4 songs but great

[@ranley2975]

Man I love your videos, and speaking of videos I would LOVE you to make a video on “Roar of the Jungle Dragon” by DM Dokuro. The song is really interesting, I’m sure you will love it.

[@koryhelm8515]

I've gotta see you react to Archspire. Fastest band alive. 400BPM!

[@BlxmeGlxdn]

You need to listen to la espada

[@theeviljames]

Dude, you should check out the recent Jay Postones (Tesseract) at Meinl cymbols. I think you'd rate it

[@Khaled.5]

Hxh ending full version, it’s incredible please react it

[@lucassmith3790]

I'm sure you have tons of songs in your backlog, but here are, in my opinion, some of the greatest video game songs of all time: Dark Souls 3: Main Title Theme Xenoblade Chronicles (Definitive Edition, has remastered soundtrack): Main Title Theme Xenoblade Chronicles (Definitive Edition): You will know our names (has the best guitar solo I've ever heard) Xenoblade Chronicles (Definitive Edition): Mechanical Rhythm Even if you don't make a video on these, it's just music porn to listen to them.

[@sadatkhan3996]

can you do a reaction video on a coke studio song? maybe Pasoori or Prarthona?

[@maxnewellmz8025656]

Get to the show early to catch car bomb they are mind blowing

[@Mia_MelodyG]

Could you react to everywhere at the end of time? Or any of Leyland kirbys/the caretakers stuff?

[@kilian_b]

Please react to Fleeting Lullaby by Ado. That's one of the songs in the Film "One Piece Red". That song is amazing

[@SatoHYT]

Bleach ost is a must for you to watch and hear❤

[@tdburton94]

Hollow Hunger by OxT, please and thank you in advance! (or just do all Overlord Openings ❤)

[@Withergoldgameplay]

Hey, bro! I really enjoyed your 2021/2020 react in one song! And we Brazilians saw that you like anime and music! So why not react to our best musician in the geek area? His channel is Henrique Mendonça, and I recommend the song > ZENITSU (Kimetsu no Yaiba) | "Like a Thunder" | Henrique Mendonça, who by the way he sings in ENGLISH! Even being Brazilian! A HUG! I WAIT ANXIOUSLY!!!!

[@hazardouspurpleblanket625]

Hey, Tony! I think you should react to MF DOOM. Maybe you've heard of him, but if you didn't I recomend his song "THAT'S THAT" from the album "BORN LIKE THIS". Ik he's not someone you would usually react to, but you can give him a try.

[@nemdani1323]

After aot will you watch jojo?

[@yuno0807]

Hey love your reactions, can u please react to “missing” by Ado please and thank you 😊

[@Bobbias]

I'm not sure if you're familiar with them or not, but if you aren't, I highly suggest Tool - Pneuma. There's a Zildjian drum performance version which really showcases Danny Carey's playing. That video is a masterclass in drumming all on it's own. I challenge you to identify everything he's got going on in the solo.

[@3OfSpade]

earned a sub how about league of legends songs there are a lot. looking 4ward to more reactions

[@ezradelacruz7799]

Hello! Can you please react to One Piece Film: RED songs. Those are great songs! :))
