Matt Garstka - 1 Section, 2 Solos

Been stockpiling some tour footage and thought it might be interesting to you guys to see the same solo with two pretty different takes on it.

[@user-dj4bu8bq5r]

mans just insulted me in 2 ways

[@trusoundlowvolumedrumheads1002]

Only 2 ? Lol it's alot more insults than 2 😉

[@natemeisenbach9989]

Easily one of the Most technical drummers EVER!! and the guts to improvise stuff of this caliber Live gives me Chills!!! MATT IS THE GOAT!!

[@fubar1217]

This is why you're one of my favorite drummers of all time....always trying new things and not afraid to hang it out there.

[@landonbollenbach2492]

How his right calf doesn't start smoking is beyond me. God bless Matt Garstka, my favorite drummer of all time.

[@gilbertmartinez5559]

By drinking semen of the gods, you will gain endless stamina of said right calf

[@H22prelude32]

Do you know the name of this song by any chance?

[@uktechmaster8948]

@@H22prelude32 behaving badly and its mixed with another

[@H22prelude32]

@@uktechmaster8948 thanks bro

[@MusicGoRoundLincoln]

The footwork on the second solo is some of the most insane single pedal work ever.

[@uktechmaster8948]

Ikr!

[@TheOratane]

this guy duuuuude, such a God, absolutely thrashing on that kit.

[@marcinmichamarszaek9737]

Dude... You make my life more Awsome by letting me experience you playing on those drums. Such a great honour to be able to witness that.

[@Simonewhitesim-1music]

That's cool

[@Frankisrock]

I wonder if Matt surprises himself looking back at recordings like this. His creativity and power behind the kit is just so impressive. Keep inspiring us bro!

[@OneJame]

My man has some of the best posture around. Straight back, powerful, very little wasted movement. What efficiency, accuracy, and skill. Decades of work right here, love to see and hear it.

[@trusoundlowvolumedrumheads1002]

It really is seen him play up close it's pretty amazing

[@zooby11isbambam]

One of the best on the planet right cheer

[@christianwilliamson9752]

Yerrrr

[@uktechmaster8948]

Yesss sirrr

[@elliotrichards6948]

Man I loved seeing you at Denver. I flew out from Michigan just to see the action in person! Keep it up man

[@touchmestudios]

Cheers from Michigan

[@Drumsholic]

This drumming with all these ghosts notes so precise and inspirational fills in time and all of your content is amazing man!!!I love your drumming!!!Top!!!The sound also for a gig is unbeatable!!!

[@jackmaguire1158]

This gives Vinnie Collaiuta a run for his money. The speed, power, stamina, groove. The fact that he’s able to think “how about I chop this up into quintuplets in 29/147” and then immediately execute perfectly, all whilst flying round the kit at 1000 mph just boggles the mind.

[@yungnietzsche2302]

No it doesn’t. It’s very technically impressive, but the groove and feel doesn’t even come close to the big dog Vinnie!

[@kevinbissinger]

@@yungnietzsche2302 Probably because you don't know what the song he's playing to actually sounds like so you can't even hear the pocket he's playing in or the groove in context.

[@colemcsween]

The way that Matt effortlessly plays odd time signatures reminds me a lot of Vinnie Colaiuta at the Baked Potato. Totally different styles of music, but the drumming is oddly similar. They both really know how to mess with odd time signatures in such a cool way.

[@fritswester2833]

The thing is that Matt isn't that great at building up the momentum. In a solo there are rare times where he starts off grooving and chilling but he cannot maintain that. It's alway from 0 to 100. Thát is the difference between him and a Collaiuta or Mangini etc..

[@LanceWillMakeIt]

@@fritswester2833 ok, but thats just his style

[@HWK4LFE76]

Amazing as always!! Hoping for more content on your KZbin channel in the future? Thanks Matt

[@eltonester6531]

Just saw you in Orlando and it was fucking incredible, I still feel like I got away with something I didn't deserve. Such an honor to see your madness in person

[@randombassist1180]

Seeing you all perform live was well worth the wait for me, I waited over 10 years to see you guys perform

[@nicklangmusic]

So much beautiful tension and release in this solo!

[@55sombreroman]

That whole kit sounds just perfect. Really accentuates the finesse and immense skill in your playing.

[@iangillies711]

Loved seeing this live in Dallas!! Those cross-overs were insane!

[@tanfizhussain3785]

That is so incredible, Matt! Absolutely love how you improvise in SUCH a beautiful, creative, intentional, explorative yet powerful way. It's always a treat to watch you play and push the musical boundaries with Animals as Leaders. Much respect from India!🙏❤️

[@tobee_gamer5816]

Gosh, it was insane seeing you live at the house of blues for the first time

[@Esrom_music]

Just incredible. So much taste

[@SanPedroGraphics]

I’ve been calling Matt “the new Vinnie” for years now but his new look is is giving me a strong Bonham vibe. Either way he is by far one our modern day greats. We are truly blessed as drummers to be able to witness his greatness. Thanks Matt!!!

[@RandyHanley]

Going to say what's obvious: Matt is an incredibly-gifted drummer, on top of working his ass off to deliver it. He clearly has worked hard in so many ways. GOAT.

[@yourself88xbl]

I watch matt play and i just have a fat ass smile on my face. The man is unreal.

[@TylerHNothing]

two of my favorite drum solos in this clip actually

[@patman5659]

This guy is from another planet.

[@jaxnaturals]

Two more days till I see you in Tempe! Can't wait!

[@techdrummer]

Mind Blown...you're so phenomenal it makes my head hurt! Definitely my favorite drummer! Keep rockin' out Matt!!! \m/

[@yourrealdad9442]

the Atlanta show was absolutely killer, great job as always Matt!

[@enocht100]

Amazing as always!

[@squidzoid1416]

I saw them just Monday, and I must say that this is peak prog drumming capability. Not to mention Garstka himself is an incredibly wise and humble human being, definitely a highlight of my year.

[@sammocardona]

PURE LANGUAGE!!! What a beast dude!!

[@denisefriday7318]

Lush!!!!! from Tasmania Australia 👍❤️

[@andrewkelly1224]

When the second one started I thought I'd pick the first but I think it won me over with the sheer number of ghost notes per second in the mid.

[@crushingbelial]

Stunning.

[@nepenthe4929]

Beautiful. Amazing. Awesome. Keep it up! Cheers! 🍻

[@killingforreligion]

So nice you play such a banger song !

[@ReubenLujan]

Yeah man. Matt Garstka has created a new level of mastery that is not of this world. This is truly a once in a lifetime talent we are witnessing.

[@sadistyk_1671]

He left it all there!

[@sysc0mp72]

Absolute madness!

[@MetalDrummer_666]

That isn't human man! Matt you are beyond genius 🤘

[@esond]

This is what gets me fired up about your playing. You let it all hang out and push as hard as you can than play something safe. Inspirational.

[@Zakster90]

I flew to the Atlanta show, was so happy to meet you afterwards at about 1:30am out back to get you to sign my copy of The Joy Of Motion. I just wanted to say thank you again for that and the incredible show. Hope to meet you again someday!

[@TeaspoonUlysses]

Incredible show of skill.

[@schirikialpenquelle948]

They are communicating via their instruments. Matt: "Tosin, I'm in the mood today" Tosin: "OK, gonna loop like there is no tomorrow np"

[@JayCord00]

HOLY FUCK ! Simply incredible 😮😮

[@kirjian]

This dude keeps getting better. Is there a limit?? BREAK IT MATT

[@danielmesa2102]

Amazing!!

[@bostoys]

best snare sound in metal today

[@baraldobumpa3447]

Dude I used to think that matt was one of the greatest drummers of all time, but now I think he is the greatest drummer or all time

[@marcinmichamarszaek9737]

Right? This is crazy. I'm so blown away by his progress - he was insanely good years ago, but now it's way beyond my comprehension how damn good he became...

[@e.d.zenterdazoneofpain-totalga]

Amazing Matt

[@dak1124]

Just saw you last friday in Atlanta. Incredible set. I intentionally got balcony seats so I could have a clear view of you and the drums. Already can’t wait for the next show!

[@the.brad.thomas]

Maaaan that was ridiculously good 🤌🤌🤌

[@nilsschriever3697]

Mind blowing play

[@c.radford2562]

You absolutely killed the show at the house of blues in Orlando. best show of my life.

I literally had a Seizure at the baltimore soundstage when you went ham on the solo. Like a good one. It was amazing.

[@tzvirubin9708]

matt, i want you to know, you got me through high school.

[@damondewitt9550]

Same here lmao

WTF dude, on another level.

Mark is out of the multiverse!!!!!! Totally insane!!!!

One of the greatest drummers of all time, no doubt

[@dinglerdangler]

THANK YOU

[@asthecrowflies1201]

I would have cried like dude's dad in whiplash if I'd been there. Goddamn.

[@nickpruett8022]

I hope he can play like this for a long time, his sense or mastery of metric modulation is just amazing.

[@jamesblack7348]

Absolute monster...

[@Clozof]

I was there for the first solo at Buckhead Theatre. Rick Beato sat in the VIP section right in front of me!

[@JP-Gurley]

Mindblowing...IMO best on Earth currently

Great!!

I lost count a while back...lol Matt is completely insane!💯

I love the stark difference of Tosin's attire and Matt's haha

Last night's show was amazing!
