Matt Garstka - "Red Miso" By Animals As Leaders (Live at The Basement East)

[@just.some.dud3]

Watching Matt play is like watching someone talk about string theory or particle physics. I don't understand a lot of it but I feel smarter after.

This is arguably as impressive from a drumming achievement as Tosin’s contributions to guitar.

[@jasonhunter7496]

Dude is top three in the world !!

[@awake780]

Yeah, and he holds all 3 positions.

[@dylpykldrums]

I love how he went from the quiet dude in the back playing drums, looking like he is on break from Office max. Now he's on a mind body soul kick with all the bodybuilding, tie dye, and commitment to furthering his own skill on this instrument. Dude is a huge inspiration for many many reasons.

[@marcio1745]

My favorite drummer of all time.

Got to watch Garstka and Mangini essentially back to back last weekend. Unreal.

The angle of the camera is exceptionally good. I have never appreciated his ghost notes enough until watching this video

[@chuckkunsman9467]

Just how does someone even come up with this stuff!? Even as far as tosin and javier goes it’s just crazy to have that much creativity in your brain! One of my favorite songs on the album!

Just as a monk that has ascended a mountain and spent a decade solitarily in a cave that comes back into town and has ascended into a higher state of being, MATT-G has ascended into higher and mystical states of rhythmic understanding.

[@bighouse5804]

Not really my type of music, but in terms of sheer technicality matt has gotta be one of the greatest ever

[@flaw-finder]

I think that’s a mark of a true music enthusiast, if you deliberately continue to engage with the music even if it’s not your taste to appreciate everything about it, it’s not just hearing music it’s LISTENING to music

[@floortworecords]

The phrasing and movements of this are just so pleasant @0:51

[@drewjehoich3100]

I feel we could talk for days just on the snare tone. Whoever mic'd and mixed the sound for this show did a fantastic job. The bass drum tone as well.
