[@MattGreiner]

Thanks for the feedback! I have room to grow and develop, that's for sure, but that's the reason I love drumming in the first place. If you have any specific critique I'd love to hear it so I can get better and be more musical on the kit! Thanks a lot, have a good one!

[@Micah__]

Matt Greiner ...needs more cowbell. Haha Awesome stuff Matt! Could you maybe do some play throughs of your newer stuff? Particularly “Dangerous”.

[@TheGodsMustBeCrazy]

Best drummer in the genre!

[@KevinCorkran]

you killed it!! loved the way those toms sounded.

[@GabrielXDrums]

Maybe more rim clicks on the edges of the toms, more cymbal chokes but honestly you’re fine the way you are, just keep posting content Matt :)

[@ShivDrums]

You are Amazing...!!!

[@EBjeebies1081]

Is he leading his doubles with his left foot?

[@shauqieeshukri]

He like to do that when live. Wanna keep the consistency power of his left foot same with right foot.

[@EBjeebies1081]

Shauqiee Shukri That makes sense. I’ve just never seen it done before. At least not with as much skill as he’s got with it.

[@andyxprophet]

I saw a video where he talked about it. He kinda played it off as if that's what's comfortable to him and he didn't realize that it was "different".

[@KevinCorkran]

he leads with his left i believe, yeah

[@sanityinaseaofmadness7353]

Glad I'm not the only one to have noticed that!

[@LeandroBentoAugusto]

How someone dislike this guy? hahahaha just insane.

[@mateuszmrozek2569]

I love how majoring in minors goes from metal core to country? then pirate metal and the metalica style solo. ABR is one of a kind.

[@bossdup3137]

Such a clean performance as always. I bet audio engineers LOVE Matt.

[@Handles-R-Lame]

@MrS0ftie lmao aint that the truth

[@abednegohamonangan]

when Fabregas play on drum

[@colinserbu2006]

The Tom Brady of drummers. Takes it serious every time and is always on point. Kit sounds really heavy and 90s like.

[@dizzykincade7831]

This a drummer that cares about music and not how he appears playing “music”

[@erikl6988]

Nice to see someone still using bright/brilliant cymbals these days

[@coal_91]

I'm just here waiting for the "THIS ISN'T MUSIC. AND EVEN WHEN IT IS, IT HAS NO GROOVE OR FEEL." comments.

[@petercino8334]

Not necessary because Matt displays plenty of groove on these tracks

[@Doatello1991]

Peter Cino I used to think he lacked groove. But he clearly displayed a lot of groove on these tracks.

[@scutchnuts]

One of the grooviest albums in the genre. My personal fave from the album. 🤘🏼

[@jessebowles5632]

Wow those left foot leads and back to right foot... really good stuff

[@burnout1256]

His posture is godly, he's easily the best drummer of the genre

[@gSWG3R]

burnout1256 Adam Grey and Matt are fairly equal imo

[@AustinKU123]

pretty funny that they are friends then :)

[@joeadams2527]

Logos Realm Adam is Matt’s drum tech and also backs up for him!

[@wtmke1ify]

Matt taught Adam how to play.maybe not everything but you can tell in Adam's play style

[@Halo23874]

burnout1256 He's A Really Amazing Drummer, But I Gotta Say Branden Morgan From Misery Signals.

[@jimbeaux89]

Without a doubt one of the best drummers I’ve ever heard

[@popotako0]

10K visits to one of the most beautiful expresions of talent, music and humbleness I've ever seen, what an inspiration Matt is for me. I had the chance to meet him in Barcelona and he was such a nice and feet to the ground guy.

[@headtur]

Met him went he visited singapore. A really nice and down to earth kinda guy. Shares his stories and never fails to motivate those around him. Awesome display of performance as always. Keep it up man!

[@VersionOneUK]

Good LORD that snare. When it cracks!...

[@forestcityexoticsco.307]

One of the greatest drum parts ever made 👌👌🤘

[@DustinPlatt]

If I was gay I'd totally touch myself to Matt playing anything on drums. Wait.. ok I'm gay. Cool.

[@justindade9560]

Legend.

[@ErikPehrsson]

“Provision” is one of the best!! And how amazing and blessed we are to know God as our Provider!

[@hairybrain100]

This is fucking awesome. How does one begin to remember all that? Great performance and a pleasure to watch.

[@alexandrepiche5609]

It's way easier when you are the one who created it

[@isaacapellido33]

OMG whomSTever tuned the snare is freaking amazing. Of course Matt is a god amongst men, so that always helps.

[@patrickryandrums]

Until you can play all of his songs on drums, you shouldn't have anything negative to say about his drumming ability.

[@pietromaximoff9490]

Provision not one of my favorites but hot damn Majoring in the minors is amazing totally different feel from his typical style

[@06livefast]

So clean. Always enjoyed his song writing and live playing ability.

[@areyoujelton]

Fuckin killed it. Damn. Makes me want to pick up my sticks and go play some now, but I think my wife would be pissed hahaha but seriously... what an inspiration.

[@Cavallero]

@0:57 THESE ARE THE WORDS OF A MAN WHO FINALLY LET GO!

[@southofheaven4321]

so smooth,, and the fucker knows it lol :),

[@esprich]

Dude is an absolute monster. Incredible precision

[@Kubakaiser]

It hurts my calf to watch him lift the left leg so high.

[@princeoinkins8408]

I just noticed in the beginning of provision that he’s leading with his left foot. Does Matt always do that? If so I’ve never noticed

[@RyanxDunn]

Yeah he pretty much always does it. Pretty insane if you ask me.

[@Tobbebohman]

The posture god! haha! But one thing I think I noticed, he does singles with his right foot but he leads doubles with his left ! Whatever works for you is the best technique :D

[@nickomode1239]

The whole kit sounds so good except for the snare. Like the floor tom is fire along with the cymbals but the snare just sounds off. Matt is insane tho

[@grahamthegrand]

In my opinion, Matt's choice of setup has always been one of the best sounding, i just WISH i could afford to exactly match this setup. Thanks Vic Firth, I swear by your sticks. 😍

[@jimbeaux89]

Matt Greiner has to be one of my all time faves. Dude just has a great mind for drums Edit: It seemed as if the DW:9000 was not his own, and wasn’t calibrated to his liking. Looked like it was a little too tight. But my goodness what a brilliant, technical drummer.

[@ЕвгенийБутов-ч6ы]

The style is similar to Adam Gray

[@andredejager2497]

Matt doesn't even have a normal click in his ears, just a dude going YOU.ARE.THE.MAN over and over 🤣 You rock man; such a humble hardworking guy

[@alexanderdanza]

Majoring in the Minors 4:45

[@lucasdiaz4791]

Que grande Matt, te sigo a vos a ABR desde el 2009

[@twosons5290]

So cool to see him smiling one second and then you can see him "thinking" the next. You know......music brain

[@broke123]

I don't even listen to ABR but I know Matt is a fucking animal!

[@newspaperlightbulb]

I got to see ABR in 2013, I still can’t believe I saw Matt Greiner live in person.

[@claykline944]

Killer! Ive wanted to play percussion for a long time. Its a great way to release pent up aggression too, huh?

[@Jonathan-jw3dj]

That sly smile says two things. First and most importantly, he loves what he does. Second, he knows how well he does it.

[@stone_sentinel]

His nickname is the lieutenant 😉

[@brandonjohnson2350]

Matt has been my favorite drummer for years. He is so technically sound but also has good groove. He truly is a master of his instrument

[@AhmedAlaa-tq6oi]

مسطرة

[@vincehill8227]

Slow down a little so maybe than I can understand how to follow 😂 love the music and drumming

[@daltonmcmillen995]

This guy is sooooooooo fun to watch. My favorite drummer easily.

[@TYFLOL]

Man Provision has such tasty drumming...

[@vitornonato4437]

Me apaixonei por um homem

[@nicolabertani6952]

love your touch, love your taste: great drummer! HAIL

[@joshdraken1]

You're doing great Matt! Only 12 more songs to go! 🙃

[@Kalashnikow42]

The Kick Drum of Destruction :O

[@nomeatbeat]

CLEAN AF

[@JosuePR_41]

Awesome drummer! ABR never dissapoint.

[@bedlem11]

He always looks so happy playing. How can you not like it?

[@sevenfacecomplex]

With no ghost notes this stuff is bleak af

[@RyanxDunn]

First drummer I've seen who's right handed but leads double kick with his left foot... Insane but pretty cool 😌😁

[@natemtz6661]

Ryan Dunn Check Alex Rudinger. The dude plays open hand as well which I think is also a very cool attribute.

[@waltergcardozo]

August burn red es mejor que esta demostración!

[@FightingTiranny]

great plat with dinamics and overall very nice

[@kalveryigor1873]

Why no powerfull Matt ??

[@nwobatakero]

i love how much he has a great time playing

[@TylerAFE]

Great drummer!

[@macp988]

so clean, tasty playing! love to watch this guy!

[@stigm1318]

i think he was late two times in provision..or

[@maosepulveda9935]

The best!!

[@the_ZAMURAI]

An absolute unit of a drummer

[@diolorenzo1727]

Where can I download this? So good!!

[@fernandocaballerohn]

Musical joy.

[@DavidCMacmillan]

Does anyone know what type of hi/hats he is using here?

[@v4nity182]

David C Macmillan they look like A-Custom Mastersound HiHats

[@ErikPehrsson]

Matt.... you win. God bless you!

[@marcus_mayhem]

Man I love this guy!!!!!!!

[@pyr0lyZer]

Matt is plain ridiculous!!!!

[@patrickryandrums]

Hey that's not part of the song ;) 1:25

[@88varjo]

the chezos is strong in this one

[@grahamthegrand]

Sweet heaven on earth, what are those hats he's using!?

[@davidvizcaino1167]

Those are 14's a custom mastersound

[@satishrengarajan5806]

The power in his playing!!!

[@JoryBlake]

I prefer something with a faster tempo, but very nice job all the same

[@aaronaltkid]

Jory Blake check out their song Everlasting Ending (the band is August Burns Red) (but they came out with a instrumental) also check their song out The Eleventh Hour

[@triceclark7878]

He look different 😳

[@pixellite3413]

great !

[@batero4life]

i like your drumset.

[@chrisk327]

That toe action thou....

[@millerandall4102]

Matt is the MONSTER!!! \m/

[@abrahamnaula]

I have the same shoes hahaaa

[@bramatthews2]

bro! this is insane. :)

[@King_Smoked_Meat]

Man, the angle of his feet make me uncomfortable. Great playing nonetheless

[@mattcig9630]

Best drummer ever ! 😍

[@rafamarrama355]

beautiful set..

[@leandrosaldivia1109]

Maquina 😎

[@owenrubi3081]

👍

[@LangNase76]

Just Brilliant !

[@iLyaDolgunioDrummer]

6:56 total joy!)

[@sticktoyourdrums8177]

I keep watching to see if the hi-hats rotate enough to see if they are K's or A's lol

[@LHawkesDrums]

I believe he typically uses K customs, not too sure whether they are here, or which ones he typically uses but thats what i believe

[@coal_91]

Aphix_ As far as I know, he uses the k custom session Hihats

[@kat-rau.]

I know it's 5 years later, but these hats are A Custom 14 inch Mastersound hats. He normally uses K Custom Hybrid 14.25 inch hats, but for this performance he used the Mastersounds. You can tell they're A Customs cause of the finish and you can see the A on them in certain shots, and you can tell they're Mastersounds cause the edge of the bottom hat is raw and hammered. The K Custom Mastersounds only use a raw, non-hammered edge, so. Definitely A Custom 14 In. Mastersounds. Great hats too.

[@MultiEchelon]

Very good drummer

[@FelipeCamargoAreias]

[@travisschmidt3383]

[@wanlongsanmarboh2283]
