Jazz Hands by Aesop Rock#1

Excerpt from a Twitch Stream I did last week.

[@camilrath5990]

Yooooo, my favourite drummer covering my favourite rapper, twilight zone moment

[@veenoir1991]

I love when my worlds collide like that lol I'm happy for you rn. Such a unique feeling

[@Space_Chief]

I literally did a triple take. What is happening.

[@dr0b0tnickgaming22]

SAME

[@mazlikesbass]

Yes!! Danny Brown gave Aesop a shout out on his podcast recently, it's awesome seeing him get some love

[@camilrath5990]

@@mazlikesbass you heard that busdriver, danny brown, aesop rock joint? Shit is phenomenal.

[@lancetothebeat]

Love it when Matt goes back to hip hop mode.. remembering #berkleeshed 🔥

[@zzzzzz69]

Dirty D

[@isabellamorris7902]

THIS IS SO AMAZING. Just listening to this eyes the size of saucers and jaw fully on the floor

[@sethdanielw]

I literally commented yesterday about how master drummers can and often do play anything and everything. This is exactly what I was talking about.

[@markevans2814]

I love how in the beginning of the track your playing is very open and implying almost out of time, while he's totally in time-a rhythmic slight of hand. Freaking brilliant. Reallly aesthetic playing....

[@AndrewDRoyappa]

Nah I'm sure not even close to out of time, just playing 4D chess outside our ability to comprehend

[@markevans2814]

@@AndrewDRoyappa Oh, he absolutely knows where he is in the measure at all times. Yep, I concur with the 4D rhythmic Chess!

[@idglet9565]

@@AndrewDRoyappa Key word being "implying"

[@deerwatching1]

Reallly aesthetic playing

[@spanzotab]

surely he's not thinking about the grid at all there, but he knows exactly when he needs to come back in

[@cameron3351]

Omfg, I can’t believe you are covering Aes, we need an AAL ft Aesop Rock album!

[@KDAWGx7777777]

Fuck yeah

[@cmtcfu]

only if i get a remix.

[@divinefallfromgrace]

It lifts my Soul immensely to see one of the best Sticksmen around appreciating the greatest Rapper ever to grace this Earth. Thanks man, this was a sweet take on things!! 😁💜

[@MNRezasa_]

the metronome himself!

[@ATthemusician]

Aesop is the rap GOAT. Only the real ones know.

[@cmtcfu]

[@bdizz19]

It only makes sense one of the most technical drummers gets on a track with the most technical spokesman! Well done

[@amusia1469]

My favorite drummer plays along to my favorite lyricist. What a time to be alive!

[@codypulliam3542]

Holy shit yes more Aesop please! Fucking rhythmic genius, the both of y’all. What a satisfying combination 💥

[@emptycloud2774]

Been listening to Aesop Rock probably 15 years now and to see you play drums to one his tunes is so good.

[@lolh4x]

I'd love to see you do a playthrough of ZZZ Top my guy. Anyways, sick video dude. Always nice to see my favorite artists in new places.

[@khartoumist1031]

I'd pay a considerable sum for this

[@khalewren2734]

ZZZ top would be insane

[@lolh4x]

@@khalewren2734 100% agree.

[@thatdrummeroz654]

I'm in love with that ride. And Damn! Too Smooth!

[@ruel8064]

This really is everything man, thank you!

[@yfz450rider39]

Two of my favorites right here.

[@dormar4882]

Hell Yeah!!! Did not expect. Aesop Rock is legend, as is Matt.

[@zeusthedrumlord547]

Chopping around, bending time at will: reading chat Relatively simple 4/4 groove on the hihat: *major focus intensifies*

[@Musical_Sweetness]

Yeah Matt!!!! I was waiting for a new upload! Yet, this was unexpected but great! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@tford1215]

I genuinely thought I was dreaming when I realized Gartska was covering Garbology

[@funkypluck]

Holy Shit, my Favorite Drummer and my Favorite Hip/Hop Artist...Mind blown, Thanks!!!

[@_Jake.From.Statefarm_]

As a drummer and also a huge Aes fan.. this is rad. I saw this clip but didn't click till I after I watched your other video randomly haha. I think the new LICE one would be dope for a solid groove. Subscribed fo sho

[@sparkinton]

OHMYFUCKINGOD....Aesop Rock is probably my absolute favorite hip hop artist and you're one of my favorite drummers... this fusion pleases me.

[@wickedhyperstyler]

Had this running in the background, thought I was listening to Thomas Pridgen. Nice groovin Mr. Technical Beast!

[@gargus6287]

holy shit i never thought I'd see this crossover but here it is and its awesome

[@c0untvlad]

Almost unbelievable moments caught on camera #341: Matt is playing Aesop Rock 🙅🏻‍♂️

[@Ih8san]

Favs drummer in the year and everlasting 🔥🔥🔥

[@Metathronos]

wow. this is probably the coolest thing i've ever seen on youtube. Matt Garstka vs Aesop Rock

[@elguaripolo686]

this video is fucking gold, it instantly improves my mood and technique

[@danielbarnes547]

Fuck'n JACKED. Nice work, Matt. You're easily my favourite drummer. All the best to you and yours...

[@715Tyler]

Ohhh snap! Love both 🔥

[@steinerair71]

That was sooo sick! I wish I could play like Matt

[@greenseas104]

Dude this is sick!

[@SCIARKlives]

This is hella nice on the ears

[@DareToShine]

This is so sick. Matt and Aesop are both legends at there respective crafts. Love to see this.

[@jsblack02]

What is happening? This is a mashup that I didn’t know I needed. wowowowo

[@khartoumist1031]

Yo what is this collision of worlds I love this

[@WhirlwindStudio]

Sweet Setup!

[@Drumsholic]

That is the thing called personality and in drumming isn't easy to build your own but you did it!!

[@chrisfranklin4061]

Shiiittt. Now that I know you're an Aesop fan, I have even more respect!

[@kareemshams4541]

Yes please do more Aes covers

[@MikeSchertenlieb]

soooo this combines two of my favorite things :D

[@musikteer]

I can't believe my eyes....my ears are so ready.

[@n5r15]

Holy shit, as a massive fan of both Aesop and Animals... this just made my fucking day... or WEEK!

[@elderozone]

Superior crossover 10/10

Balance groove rock man!

[@esond]

What ride be that?

[@jordanbenson2980]

Did Tony produce this Aesop Rock track?

[@erichart2756]

I will not be aiming for the apple

[@techdeth]

AES ROCKKK?!?! Why am I not surprised you like him. I still remember this old video of you in a white beater rapping with fake teeth in or some shit. Matt's low key hood lol

[@ATthemusician]

They were blasting it between sets on their latest tour, I knew it was Matt's playlist 😆

[@samcooke343]

Matt you should cover Story 2 by clipping, different time signatures and crazy metric modulation in the last section.

[@DiogoSilva-ld7we]

Yes!!! for sure this, great idea dude

[@zubrhero5270]

One of the craziest basslines to play too. Somebody has a custom DLC for it on rocksmith, and as soon as it gets to double-time I practically have to tap out 🤣

[@dinglerdangler]

yooooooooo, i missed the stream.

[@thepatternplayback]

And Animals/Aesop tour would be dope

[@gabrieljennings5492]

god DAMN

[@xbzkxpazvzv6800]

im allways on the stream, i allways say hi, u never say hi back :c great vid

[@reboooot]

I love me some aes

[@brettoemig9739]

Anyone know that ride? I think it’s the dual ride, but I’m not sure. I love the crash sound from it

[@drummusician]

It's my Signature prototype

[@leonardrockstein2700]

Is that a Fremen stillsuit?

[@andreashofmeyr9583]

Now we need a collab ;)

[@gotmoresoul]

Hey Matt, that was DOPE AS FUCK. Btw, which kits for Superior Drummer 3 should I get to get as close to your actual kit??

[@kkupsky6321]

My dude. Efficiency? Even brothers hair is belt and suspenders. Think ahead… one day one day he’ll windmill.

[@Th3EpitapH]

nice

[@sparkinton]

Mystery Fish next!!!!

[@mattbdrums_3171]

Yaaah man that’s the one

[@heartbeatsdrum]

This was sick as fuck.

[@grizzlywhisker]

Man, I wish I could afford that kit. I've been playing drums my entire life and have never been able to shell out the cash for top notch gear. I have always played Tama drums, I know you switched to DW, but I think I'm going to get a Sonor SQ2 for my next kit if I can afford it.

[@shanehaney2121]

I prefer the sound of tama starclassic over dw. I do like dw a lot but Tamas just are more to my liking in tone and attack.

[@grizzlywhisker]

@@shanehaney2121 yeah I was never a DW fan, I like Tama a lot. I want to try out a Sonor kit though.

[@shanehaney2121]

@@grizzlywhisker I've never had the opportunity to play Sonor. I've only heard good/great things about Sonor though.

[@grizzlywhisker]

@@shanehaney2121 I’ve never played them either, but Tomas Haake has always been my favorite drummer and his kit sounds great. Benny Greb is another one who plays Sonor that I really like. I play both metal as well as that funky type stuff that Benny plays and I want to try something different so I’m planning on getting one of their kits. I haven’t heard anything bad about them either. 🤷‍♂️

[@SiberianKissed]

more AES drum cover pleaseeees

Pretend I remember the format of that old "ambitious crossover" meme and posted it here. F'real tho Aes and AAL bro plz yes

[@kkupsky6321]

👐

[@Kakirachan]

Jesus

[@MinuteMayne]

What's up with the diesel truck drivin dad shirt sir

[@nickr4660]

This is cool because now I don’t have to alternate between Animals and Aesop. Also, Parrhesia was enough. I don’t really need more reasons to respect this dude.

[@briantusha1852]

Matt you should cover an Ozric Tentacles song you wont be disappointed, and neither will I

[@kongeethegod]

You played blockhead but still had your own style nice

[@honk1419]

coo

[@ConnorHammond]

It's a shame I can't stand Aesop's voice cause his music is quite nice.

WHAT THE LITERALLY LITERAL FUCK
