Matt Greiner 11th Hour @ IMatter 2010

[@wolfpackhustler]

12 years later and that stick change is still the cleanest thing i have ever seen.

[@thefourthperspective]

I come back all the time to Watch this

[@godbelow]

That was the fastest stick change I've ever seen. Wtf.

[@AugustBurnsRed2012]

had to re watch that part like 6 times it was so fast

[@JustinSmead]

He’s perfect

[@DurinThe_Deathless]

I love how all the members just occasionally check up on matt, like: "hey man, you still keeping our odd-time rhythms on fucking point without missing a beat? Oh right, you're the Greiner- righteous bro."

[@shanef3rulz]

Haha i love your comment!

[@josiahmerola]

Except Brent, where the heck is he?

[@DurinThe_Deathless]

Hahaha thanks man- these dudes are immaculate live!

[@folicreppy891]

***** I laughed so hard haha, you're comment is so true

[@Cantwait4sundaY]

"odd-time rhythms" lol... the whole song is in 4/4

[@organicmilk5]

I love how the stick goes flying off towards the camera man, but also how he non nonchalantly gets another stick

[@justindade9560]

He simply, well simply for him, moved the stick from his left to his right to get on beat with the small china, while that gave him beats for his left hand to grab the new one :) He is my idol for a reason. Beast.

[@lahbl]

I was expecting a sick Lamb Of God Cover. Tbh, I'm not disappointed.

[@rankjuan]

Alright, he dropped a stick, He's a human

[@jonasgustaf]

+Rank Juan And grabbed that spare stick in superhuman speed

[@rankjuan]

damnit

[@romjab]

*stick dropped him

[@saidoterodiseno]

+romjab And he grew another one from his left hand

[@drumobsession8644]

What does he use to carry the sticks???? AHHH

[@HannahCheek]

He grabs his other drumstick before the first one hits the ground. Unbelievable.

[@brosnandegenaar4273]

That off beat china 3:08 melts my heart

[@paulliondrums]

I'm stuck at that part learning the song... that beat is soooooo difficult to play at even 60%...I'll need several months to play it at the real speed! this is by far the most difficult part of the song!

[@alejandrolagarda7148]

@@paulliondrums It has been a year and still can't get it 100%, Everything's in the accuracy of the first beat when you instantly change the regular for the off beat...

[@gratiszebs2890]

Im pretty sure the crowd was saying carol of the bells, not cow bells

[@jimthetonezone]

i think your right.

[@GNFBN]

That's what i'd say if i was to an ABR show.

[@jcw231]

100% lol

[@NoPainNoBrainNoShame]

Cow bells 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Typerhaze]

doesnt matter how old i am, being the best drummer isnt about just playing it, its what you are playing, who you are playing it for, and why you are playing it.. and Matt Greiner has the best motives, passion, and love for what he does, and he enthusiastically conveys his emotions through him and his band's music better than anyone else ive ever seen. I gave Matt a philadelphia union jersey before a show, and he couldnt have shown more appreciation, such a very loving and caring role model..

[@drumobsession8644]

Best recovery ever from dropping a drumstick

[@ynotsammy]

You're a wizard, Matt.

[@phillakai321]

Be that guy 0:32 hey yo !

[@Kalashnikow42]

I think, this guy is Matt himself :D

[@Asstazztic]

Kalash Productions that would be sick! haha

[@HardcorePostHardcore]

This is by far the best cover ive ever seen

[@munc5014]

Saw the stick, great recovery didn't miss a beat, excellent gig man.

[@ccandrew111]

matt's face at 1:39 says everything about that dropped stick lol.. happens to the best of us

[@TheBrendrum]

i dont think i will ever see a cleaner mess up like that, if you were in the crowd, you probably couldnt even tell he did that, and mind you, the drum parts matt writes leave little time to grab an extra stick like that..

[@alexiluffy216]

i come back to this video once every few months :D

[@dekubutler1702]

0:33 "HEYO!"

[@baketaxful]

This video was the first time I was impressed with Matt's skills 14 years ago now, and a few days ago I met him in person at a drum clinic in Mexico, and he is a really impressive drummer and a super nice person, I hope to meet him again someday to share drummer topics.

[@b4nt4m]

What stick drop?

[@Mr2drummer2]

Cant believe this was 3 years ago. Imatter Festival this year is going to be amazing. Praying and hoping God does amazing things.

[@dekubutler1702]

1:34 Flying wood.

[@Rwm702]

+J Nicolosi Amazing recovery!!

[@ConArdist]

This angle is great, you can tell just how much fun ABR has live.

[@markievalk5495]

They were saying " Carol of the Bells" not Cow Bells

[@etron91]

I love that these Guys acctually take time after a concert to get into the fans at the merch table ..i saw them and talked to matt..handsome guy...he singned me his drumsticks and we talked like 5 minutes. Awesome guys..god bless them...

[@Maltymaldy]

It makes me giggle that his bandmates show up every once in a while to check on him.

[@martschijfbasscovers]

This never gets boring to watch.

[@Captain0333]

I wish i had a copy of Matt's skill

[@TheRealDTV]

you can....just go practice

[@dolflombard4510]

Darryl McDaniel oh you ;)

[@1911PVP]

Dolf Lombard He's speaking the truth

[@LoudSilence12]

So stoked to see them and For Today this year

[@BrandonChaunceyOfficial]

holy fuck this music is stressful to play. he has a lot of endurance. I' m a skinny guy but I'd be dead.

[@littlebear2477]

What a stellar performance. !

[@BSDrumming]

Demon musician, no doubt.. This guy for sure 100% plays with the help of demons. How else you gonna explain throwing a stick yet another one appears to teleport into his hand at the same time? Demons... That or aliens.

[@ynotsammy]

I would actually say he is more of a wizard, conjuring up new sticks out of nothing.

[@melzaz2]

I love how smooth he picks up another though, mid fill he just grabs another... :D

[@John_Kealiinohomoku]

***** i hope you get the joke...

[@BSDrumming]

who said they were a christian?

[@joses4593]

Nah man. ABR is a Christian band. That right there is the power of the Holy Spirit. Just ask Aaron Gillespe (spelled his last name wrong I know).

[@RLopez-kx1gb]

This guy here opened the doors to many drummer in the world... Adam Grey, Luke Holland to mention a few. This is in my opinion, the best metal drummer ever. Ladies and Gentlemen, Matt Greiner.

[@blake686a]

0:33 that "Hey OH!!"

[@andrewbeaton3302]

CAUGHT THE STICK AND GOT IT ON THE next 8th note!!!! hahahaha LEGENDARY BAND!!!! THESE GUYS CHANGED EVERYTHING. WHY THE DONT HAVE MORE AWARDS BLOWS MY MIND!

[@shevelovms]

1:35 WTF????

[@DrummingNonStop]

One of the few drummers who sound so clean live.

[@Meek555555]

0:33 hayoh

[@clintonbruning]

I got to see him live in 2010 in Kansas City. They have ripped their whole careers. Matt is a legend in the metal community.

[@nicksingh5686]

That stick change doe

[@Ajaxzelemo44]

His cymbal set up is perfection.

[@japecasayuran8541]

You're right 'Eheh You wish! 'Heheh

[@dangerjbl]

This is one of my fav tracks by ABR drums are bangin in this!

[@drumobsession8644]

Where the hell did he et the other drumstick from?

[@DRL92]

Craig top of his bass drum

[@Rude_Jr]

Craig he took the one from his left hand and passed it to his right, then picked up a new one for the left hand from under the hi hats

[@stupendous7848]

he is an absolute machine

[@openshores4288]

1:34 this camera man is so annoying he actually throw his drumstick on him

[@AlexNH56]

That drum kit is so legendary!! I wonder if he still owns it. Definitely my favorite kit of all time

[@WoW1496]

my favorite part was 0:08 to 4:24 ;)

[@ivanregret]

ABR´s Pro Tools technicians must be so happy with Matt Greiner´s drumming, he´s so accurate in each of his strokes, the Pro Tools graphic must be incredible... even when he does blast beats. Is a pain in the ass when drummers record whit such a uneven volume on each stroke. MATT GREINER RULES!

[@spastheghost]

Even gods drop drum sticks

[@kerbaco]

This is just...so....beautiful! :')

[@showmewar3496]

[@showmewar3496]

[@sarahmoify]

[@KittenCandidate]

[@NORMASHBASH]

HEYO! @ 0:33

[@Demetrious757]

That stick switch was so fast and smooth, geez

[@trentbarnett5578]

Click click! *hey o* 0:32

[@trentbarnett5578]

Funny

[@nameinacan]

Haha I replayed that part like 5 times.

[@Carlos3Zone]

Of the best drummers of the world o_o omg.. awesome!

[@fernieesparza8513]

Drops stick. Plays it off as if it never happened.

[@Heyitsdablakguy]

Amazing Drummer and SOOO SOOO clean

[@danielluxi9899]

3:09 that off beat tho

[@regul8or71]

If you listen to a recording, the tempo changes. He does it right.

[@Seethi_C]

regul8or No, the tempo doesn’t change. He just switches to playing the offbeat.

[@regul8or71]

Seethi C point being he played it correctly. That’s what I was saying.

[@tommycraven6410]

That moment when you click on a video and start watching it, only to realize you were at the show lol

[@epicmetod]

get some leg workout

[@TheBrendrum]

holy frik this guys insane. ive been drumming a while and jthis is frikin impressive

[@ogre2768]

I am so amazed at his stick switch, I remember I was playing a show once and missed an entire verse before I could pull out a stick. Bandmates were like WTF bro

[@thenameofthename1]

Thanks! :)

[@chickenbeforeegg]

for the last time, he doesn't lose his stick, he throws it away.

[@MrKingoftheeast1]

I didn't even see the stick fly the first time..I had to go through the comments to see exactly where he dropped the stick. I'm just listening to ABR for the first time, but I can already tell that I'm about to fall in love haha

[@TheMaxReborn]

Matt Greiner is a machine!

[@cedriczaman2999]

DAT ENERGY!! love it

[@darrenxhood]

He doesn't use custom zildjian bells, even if he said that in the zildjian video. He uses a sabian radia cup chime and an LP bell

[@TheFeeez21]

theres only a few bands out there that make me say "WOW!" all the time.. even when ive heard the song many times its just.. wow

[@bboy_nliten]

The "heyo" at 0:32 gets me hype EVERY single time🔥🔥🔥

[@levysantos5094]

O cara toca muito!!!!!!!!!!!

[@synvarius]

@MannyTruth You could try adding that to the video description? You know, instead of it being empty?

[@alltheworldsadream]

MIND BLOWN!

[@xcryanx]

Even him dropping a stick, switching hands, and getting a new stick is epic. What a beast.

[@KevinALIV]

i love that kit

[@lv2draw1]

sounds so good :P

[@zacmaster16]

Aguante Matt Greiner! Saludos desde Argentina! ;)

[@EEKmusic]

love it

[@xJMan240x]

Jesus was Matt Greiner's left hand incarnate. Pure perfection.

[@NarcoCrew]

Dude nice save! You almost hit the cam :)

[@MzFreestyler]

The snare sounds awesome !

[@JOrtizAngel]

Such a great drummer here!

[@ErikPehrsson]

Man. Matt is incredible! August Burns Red has to be one of the greatest bands! Love them!

[@bigbballin50]

oh my god i LOVE the fill at 2:15. the accents on the bass drum rule, such a cool idea

[@rastafaris123]

I'm impressed how they are able to control their tempo every time. It's like, every live song is as fast as the studio version. You can audio-sync all of their live versions from their studio versions.

[@thefourthperspective]

They play to a metronome

[@CzarCustom]

Beautiful Technique

[@XxOBSOLETExxTVxX]

My band (Unseen, Unspoken) opened for this band :3

[@DLeRoux]

Never seen a drummer with such an outstanding posture as Matt. Ciro's are loving him, or hating for the lack of work :)

[@wilfre2]

fucking awesome I have never admired so much a video in which a drummer looses his stick, Matt its a beast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stickwithit]

and he's such a humble and awesome dude, that he would probably be the first one to admit that.

[@paulliondrums]

I'm still learning this song!!! 30 days and I know 50% and I can play it at 52%!! Matt is an alien!!! I've been playing for 12 years as a hobby but I thought I had a good level! I was very wrong :(

[@theMOTAs95]

For those of you asking what shoes he's wearing, his feet are going so fast it's hard to tell. He even makes the camera lagg

[@gdaddymack1]

Well, 14 more of these and youve got yourself the once a day greiner workout

[@theseadood]

HE YELLS HEYOH EVERY TIME THEY PLAY THIS SONG LIVE!!!!

[@krissmith1986]

I didn't have to do that to see it, I actually saw it before I even read MossMoophe's comment and I had it on regular size. I don't remember if I had it on 1080p at the time or not.

[@sseann132]

Guys the other stick is the one he is using in his left hand. He uses is left hand to grab another stick from the holder that you cant see because his body is blocking it.

[@Calibur43]

That stick drop, I nearly could not even comprehend how he got another stick to his right hand that fast.
