11 years later and still loving it.. AMAZING

[@boobler2626]

i concur at 12yrs

[@07ORO]

Yep, back again

[@JamesDavis-mm2mi]

13 and still great

[@damaseem523]

He’s playing thirty and seven from constellations

[@verothacamaro]

Jabuti Katuti megafan over here. What a boss👏👏

[@mattj.b.1414]

"Do you play drums?" How I used to answer that question: "Oh yeah" How I answer it now: "I'm a beginner"

[@MrMeowMeows619]

Matt Greiner has to wear a sweater when he drums, because he's so cool.

[@ottispunkmeyer]

you've never seen them live, the guy is a machine. He plays songs over 200 bpm for an hour and plays hit for hit, always on time. when they played the live show for their Home dvd he did it for 2 hours. I can barely play his song Meddler one time and he plays songs even more difficult for an hour.

[@Gonzo2197]

YOUR MIND IS A MOUNTAIN BEFORE YOU

[@prettyponymonster]

Love this video, can still hear the parts to this song in my head. Thats how you know he served the song well

[@Jake-ov5gs]

Who knew Jesus could play drums so well...

[@miniuzi10]

I was thinking the same 😂

[@qhaven3314]

I thought I was the first to think of this comment...I was wrong

[@dublpedal2568]

this comment made me so happy.

[@deez420nuts69]

Yeah he was a pretty good carpenter too. His review on Yelp was pretty shitty though, a lot of people said he got distracted ranting about being the Savior of the human race or something like that I dunno.

[@thatruth10111111]

You need to get out more

[@he987]

Damn, his drumming never gets old I could listen to the same thing for hours! cx

[@lucaspontes4147]

Their best album by far! It is just perfect, Greiner killed in every song!

[@ryandyess30]

Matt is a fucking beast. those transitions and time swaps are genius....

[@brandonsegura1542]

What Seth Rollins does on his days off in the WWE

[@mikexiong24]

[@deafphoneoperator]

Matt Greiner's drums sound amazing!!! So beautifully tuned and adjusted.

[@ihangtheDJ]

Matt is no doubt a great idol for any drummer seeing him live was awesome!

[@DavidNesterDrums]

Classic! I remember when I first saw this video, still such a solid drummer!

[@MrRockylanza]

I remember watching this video 3 years ago and still it amazes me.

[@Paul-kw3wc]

1:27.... what a beat...

[@deez420nuts69]

Those double bass patterns man... I don't even know if so can follow that awkward timing on my guitar 😂

[@jordonbS777]

still watching this in 2017 lol

this video series with the hoodie is some of his best work.

[@PINQINQ]

IT"S SO PERFECT

[@BenOnFilm]

1:28

[@arthuryehuda7029]

Dang!!! One of the most humble great drummer I ever see!

[@fromthenorth2]

o_o I love his drumming so much. I can't get enough of it.

[@DestoTrading]

MY GOD! what a MATTchine!!!!!!

[@SynDreasIV]

I loved the sound of the drums on the Messengers album. The first song I heard from them and video I saw was Composure, which is my favorite song of all of theirs still till this day. I have to say I think they altered the sound of the drums a bit after that album.....listen to the drum recording of Composure on that album and then listen to Empire for example. But either way all of their albums are great!

[@weinerschnitzelsrule]

His china on messengers is seriously the best that he has ever recorded w at the least, I'm sure he played it live too but to me, that's one of the main things that sticks out to me drum wise on this album. The sound gives me a semi just hearing it hahaha

[@Wingedoverphotos]

Messengers will always be one of my all time favorite albums ever. I bought it the day it came out and played it probably 3-4 times a day for about 6 months straight

[@jadilker]

this vid brought tears

[@ErikPehrsson]

Sounds so beautiful!!

[@drums44life]

I still watch this in 2016

[@CamiloMultiplex]

I paused the video so he can rest.

[@jackradcliffe993]

SUCH PERFECT POSTURE!!!

[@Allyourbase1990]

Def my favorite drummer man he's so clean and technical

[@bryannaquila9700]

Is this Thirty and Seven he's playing?

[@JacobC479]

Yes

[@turbotrice]

The cat drummer brought me here

[@mikeasaurus8]

Five years ago? Holy fak

[@jong8265]

Now it just turned 10 years, time flys

[@RoarTheRapper]

Back when I took up the drums at 13, I didn’t like going through my rudiment books because I it was too slow. So I started listening to music that challenged me with the drums, and obviously I found metal bands. One of the best ways I learned four-way independence and speed control was from groups like August Burns red. So thank you sir, I wouldn’t be half the drummer I am today without you :-)

[@Eirik208]

LOVED IT!

[@jackieeethepwner]

iT'S ALL ABOUT 1:30

[@AndrewKonkey]

best metal drummer in the world. and he doesn't use fake drum trigger sounds! see that, kids? that's what a bass and snare drum actually sound like!

[@jgardj8972]

most of the drummers doesn't use drum triggers ;)

[@TunnelJumper]

Meh.. Though it was probably minimal, I'm certain they blended some samples with the live drums on that album. I've seen them live a bunch of times since Constellations dropped and he gets tighter and tighter (he fucking stomps the 16th kick notes and nearly sounds like he's rimshotting every hit when he does blast beats live. Mics only) but honestly most records have samples blended in for volume consistency.

[@calebgroncki6045]

#1643 Matt Greiner one of my favorite drummers of all time. Everything he touches is gold. Not an idol, but much respect for his skills. Love it.

[@rhuanjunior9845]

Há 11 anos atrás eu assisti esse vídeo, 1° vídeo de bateria que assisti, hoje aqui estou novamente relembrando

[@master_letus1824]

He is literally so stiff. It kills me.

[@Odthean]

I noticed the same thing. I don't know how he hasn't killed his tendons yet.

[@adamnickersonvlls488]

The Neandethal drumming is supposed to be from the wrist with proper technique sooo... lol

[@josephgreen338]

The Neandethal it's actually really good posture

[@jakegreene4313]

Adam Nickersonvlls Just because he’s playing from his wrist does not mean he is loose and comfortable. There are more aspects to technique than where you play from

[@d21guyproductions56]

The Neandethal He probably didnt warm up just started playing watch him play live he Loosens up alot

[@utubedestroysmytime]

All these people saying this is simple and easy...I doubt you can even do the polyrhythm around 1:29

[@matthewsinist3r]

intermediate level drumming . bro

[@matthewsinist3r]

intermediate level drumming . bro

[@utubedestroysmytime]

ive seen you comment a lot of videos and a lot of what you say is negative. a guitar player played a cool solo and you still went and said some bull shit like "if you practiced 5 hours a day for a year youd be able to play it" thats 1825 hours of practice lol just showing theres no such thing as a virtuoso just people who work. this is not intermediate skill level drumming...intermediate is the red jump suit aparatus shit you like and the travbis orbin bull shit. if its not jazz like antonio sanchez or a black gospel chops drummer...its all intermediate then

[@matthewsinist3r]

+utubedestroysmytime but it's the truth lol. Matt Griener is a clean drummer no doubt but this is not advanced drumming. It's definitely intermediate level.

[@crashbeatXD]

why did you say your comment twice lol thats awkward

[@porksword11]

I love his sounds!

[@dominickguerra189]

i wish he still used the 19 hybrid china. i bought one and fucking loved it. Then he went and got the oriental. So did i lol. hated it haha

[@danieljordison0793]

+Dominick Guerra i think he still does pop it out every now and then

[@deez420nuts69]

Wow. I think being a metal drummer is probably the hardest feat to accomplish in music. As a guitarist, all I do is move my hands around a bit and make funny shapes with my fingers and jerk around like an autistic kid having a seizure along with the music. Drummers have to use their entire bodies to play 😂

[@kernelxsanders]

Metal drums has nothing on jazz drums

[@LS1Highwind]

Forget being the bass player. We're there for the free admission 🤣🤣🤣

[@Thomohawk21]

@@kernelxsanders that’s not entirely true. Metal came from jazz and technically speaking, there are a lot of things that drummers from both camps can’t do in the other. They are both respectable.

[@kernelxsanders]

@@Thomohawk21 they both are respectable indeed, however generally speaking, the main skill jazz drummers tend to lack is fast double bass runs, while metal drummers tend to lack is dynamic feel, among other things, which is much harder to obtain

[@miqqi25924]

Thirty and seven.. Una de mis favoritas

[@Hydrus96]

cant wait to see them on the 20th

[@petterandraca4802]

This guy wishes he could be cat drummer!

[@qhaven3314]

My God I hate A Customs

[@nathandrums0]

...why? They're some of the best next to the k hybrid series.

[@qhaven3314]

they sound like any other cheap cymbal, there's no personality to them at all, no grit, tone, no nothing, they suck

[@nathandrums0]

+qHaven they're bright, shimmering and quick decay... They have plenty of tone lol why don't you actually play some and you'll see. What are you a Sabian fanboy? To call them "cheap cymbals" is absurd.

[@nathandrums0]

+qHaven 'they sound like any other cheap cymbal" compare that to a ZBT/ZHT or Sabian B8 it sounds nothing like it. What's next you're gonna tell me a K hybrid sounds like a paiste RUDE? Hahaha

[@qhaven3314]

yeah they're bright, and sound like you're hitting a piece of tin at the same time, I play Meinl Byzance, you know....the ones that have grit, tone, personality, and earthiness? A Customs to me are garbage, they may be high end but they truly sound cheap

[@bassie1995]

Damn! Such a BEAST!

[@ArcticRise]

one of the best drummers!

[@Gregtendon]

Thirty and Seven... So glad I got this song.

[@gothickid13]

[@jrgallaway23]

This video is what got me into august burns red.

[@j4k051]

Can't wait to see them in gothenburg!!!!

[@Number37TE]

I was so lucky and got a chance to talk to him after ABR's show in Dallas, with TIJ, silverstein and let live!

Amazing!!! Bro..

One word: INSPIRATIONAL

[@robertovarela13]

Snare Sounds Amazing

[@minatohashiba4978]

Thirty and Seven one of my favt song

[@PG-hf5eh]

This is my favorite ABR song. Mainly because of these drums.

[@MikeyJTheGreat]

Those drums sound perfect!

[@jessebowles5632]

he needs the whole video to all his songs on this album!

[@ReptarWasTaken]

Dude, what makes this great isn't based on technique, it's about him doing what he loves, and he happens to be pretty dang fantastic doing it. I think he's freaking talented. I'm inspired every time I see this video. If you don't think so, don't watch it.

[@Fredthedrummer21]

That was extremely solid. I really enjoyed that. :)

[@Artymetall]

this is just amazing! its like if he had a metronome for each hand and leg its amazing.

[@mrstealyogirl2012]

Happy Birthday Matt yhur da best drummer in the world !

[@MATUZS92]

Thirty And Seven - Constellations :) love it

[@Dudethings607]

0:50 Matt uses rudiments in his fills and 0:50-1:05 he plays his hi-hat while maintaining the beat. Not only is he the most creative drummer in hardcore, but he is the most fundamentally sound drummer in hardcore. Wow.

[@fraggelz]

this guy hits hard!

[@vrxyled]

epic drumming is epic!

[@SkylarClimer]

I LOVE the 9000s!!!
