Drum Tech POV | Louder Than Life 2023

[@matthorndrums]

Hey guys! Hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for watching!

[@5ShotProductions]

Dude, I could watch this kind of videos for HOURS and it wouldn’t be boring at all! 😍🙏 I really appreciate the work and effort you put into making these videos for us, being a drummer for over 30 years now and being a professional camera operator and video editor for over 18 years now, these videos make me smile the whole time 🤩 And yes, of course I made it till the end. Your walk off to the sound of Pantera, can’t get any better I guess 🥴👏 Have a good one, and I‘m really excited to see the next video of „Drum Tech POV“ Best wishes from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp 👋

[@o.verhie]

Hell yes, we enjoy these videos!

[@lucianotoledo6775]

I watch all your videos. I'm a drummer and I love how everything is put together before we go into action

[@helderpolonio7849]

hei man i f... love this vid, it brings lots of memoris of years there i played live as a drumer, but in a much smaler level of course, this was such a great experience to be able to watch inside the big lig, thanks man ROCK ON

[@andrewh4411]

I saw FIR in Alpharetta GA with AX7 and Kim Dracula. They sounded sooo good live! I thought they stole the show honestly, I'd give my left and right nut to do what you do. I'm sure it's a tough job, but I can imagine it's very rewarding.

[@diegopeart]

as a drummer, this is very interesting to watch. thank you for this very special look into what goes on backstage. \,,\

[@joshuahulka643]

This is seriously sick!! Thank you very much for taking the extra time and effort to document this whole process and add notes to the whole thing!

[@jimcoppin229]

Thank you Matt… you take us to stages we may never see… been playing for 50 yrs now… what a great insight to back stage … love it…. Jim 👍🏻

[@user-kn1uj2tp6r]

Louder then Life is only like 5 years old, is one of the fastest growing massive music festivals in the states and the ticket prices aren't too bad but they sell out very quickly.

[@michaelszabelski6142]

Very cool to see the festival gig! “ Walking” along to “ Domination” ? That’s a once in a lifetime deal right there!!

[@DustinPlatt]

I didn't even realize how amazing the line up for bands was until i looked up the festival and saw the list.

[@ethanrogers3475]

Keep it up Matt! Really enjoying the vids man

Stellar video, made it the whole way through. Not enough love given or thought of for the crew behind the bands/festivals from your average attendee, the show can't go on without you guys! Much props 🤘

[@TheNavarro6767]

It's enjoyable to see what other people do for a living... the processes and tasks they need to accomplish. They seem very involved, but are done so smoothly. And of course we all make mistakes no matter what kind of job - and learn from them. Thank you for sharing.

[@hardcharger.fishing7411]

Love this Matt! Thanks for bringing us along. Gotta be honest, I didn’t know who were the drum tech for, and then I heard watch the world burn come in and I was mind blown!! Dude I can’t even imagine being a drum tech for Luke, Holland, in my opinion, one of the top drummers in the world. Dude you gotta keep these vids coming if you can. I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!

[@SickIncKamikaze]

Two former The Word Alive drummers working with Falling In Reverse. Amazing.

[@dionnedrummer7430]

Very cool! It’s awesome that you can walk in front of the stage for a quick look see! Keep this videos coming!

[@brunobellego]

I was at Louder than Life! It’s really cool seeing what happens behind the scenes and cool to see what a drum tech does.

[@ernieb3304]

That kit is amazing. I enjoyed seeing behind the scenes. No bs just a guy who gets his job done.

[@plexibass]

As a retired touring guitar tech, and thank you for posting this and showing what our job is like. The life of techs!!

[@Mochachinothedog]

Very rare for me to watch a video this long all the way through but I’ve watched all of these all the way through. I really appreciate your work and love seeing all of the attention to detail. Luke is an amazing drummer and he’s lucky to have you as his tech!! Great video!!!

[@mikeo5657]

Was a drum tech for a few years, about twenty or so years ago... Living vicariously thru these... Damn it takes me back. You got your shit tight man. Keep it up, stay safe, and F Yea!!

[@frederikwurtz9690]

This was my dream for the longest time. Now I get to see it unfold through your videos. Loving every second

[@nmfwoodman]

Watched the whole video and forgot to turn CC on. So watched it all again :) Amazing stuff - Pantera went hard at the end too - great job

[@stumpygnome1834]

Thank you SO much for these videos that you're posting. When I was in college, nearly 30 years ago, I worked on the local crew of the multi-purpose building for concerts. Mostly did load-in and load-out, but also got to do some spotlight operation. I was always amazed by the road crew guys, walking around with their all-access laminates and directing us to get things set up with a practiced precision that made a pretty cool gig even more amazing. I was always jealous of those guys and what all they got to do. This behind the scenes look you give us is amazing and really takes me back to my days in college, climbing into the trusses to sit on a 2ft square piece of wood bolted to a truss beside a spotlight, chasing CC DeVille around the stage to keep him lit. Thanks again, for letting us into your "office" and I can't wait for the next video. "Domination" is a great way to end the day.

[@CristianSurvive1]

This is very cool to watch. Working in a whole different industry (F1 racing) and seeing a lot of similarities. I LOVE when our teams can acknowledge and hear our instructions like at 9:35 .. I've gotten people that get cocky and say thing like "I know, don't gotta tell me twice." and they end up fucking up later. About 90% of the crew works together but that 10% is why we gotta have those same boring meetings every morning.

[@billk9799]

I'm a guitarist for about 30 years now but I find these videos extremely satisfying! 😂

[@jacobkittipol2546]

UGH that kit is pretty much the one I'd imagine playing when I air drum late at night hahaha, awesome BTS footage here it's incredible just how much effort goes into preparing everything before even sound check.

[@DavidNesterDrums]

I’m just now seeing this lol, good times and great shots of the spinning kit! Thanks for sharing dude!!

[@pata_333]

Man, i jus't can't get enough of these videos, please keep posting them!

[@dhoytinaz]

Really great video. I was fascinated all the way through. Just amazing what all goes on to make a huge show like that happen.

[@philippelucien58]

très intéressant super pas facile tout le temps avec tous ces détails a régler merci pour cette vidéo 😀😀

[@m118lr]

By the time you get to THIS level..you’ve earned a ‘drum tech’. 3 bands, a 6-pc TAMA and my self as roadie..it gets to be a LOT of work. You are seriously conscientious man AND OCD as you said..and they are lucky dude! YOU SURE earn your money man. GREAT work AND editing! BEAUTIFUL DW kit too…

[@MrCaseymetallic]

As a drummer, this is one of the most interesting and awesome videos I've seen in a while! Just so much to take in, so much that goes on and the amount of teamwork to make these festivals happen is on another level. Amazing video man, thanks! 🍻

[@FabricioMigueldeFarias]

Dude, I didn't know I needed this type of content until I watched this type of content, good job, keeping show us thinks like this

[@gooblymeat]

Thank you so much for documenting this. Really appreciate how clean you kept the video, everything is easy to understand. Makes me look forward to next summer, as I work as ad hoc crew at a jazz festival. Best two weeks of the year! One thing I really love, is learning from the different techs I get to work with. And your video made me see small details from the setup I’ll take with me as experience. Wish I was in a position to volountair for gigs/festival/bands more often.

[@juhapeltola8232]

The best drum tech videos out there! Enjoying these sooo much! Thanks!

[@cweaver1100]

LOVE watching these videos of yours, man. Lifelong drum nerd that loves gear, assembling, all of the great stuff. Thanks for doing these!

[@galgolombek7223]

This again seems like the best gig on earth. To get to this level of skill and competence with what you do is something to really look up to. Keep up the amazing videos!!!

[@leandro5221]

21:02 disturbed - down with the sickness!! f*ck yeeeeeeah. Man your content is awesome! I am a drummer myself, I would love to have a job like yours. My father and I own a mobile stage here in Argentina, and we went to numerous festivals with it around the country, and it is awesome, the ambient, the different crews, the whole process for getting ready all the things for the show...your video made me feel that unique ambient that generates around festivals, of course from the crew point of view. I'm a metalhead, unfortunately for me, most of our festival weren't metal festivals, but one in particular was great, it is called "cosquin rock" and it is one of the most important festivals in the country. I would love to be in the scene of metal festivals in the USA, that would be awesome!. New subscriber here! That way of ending the night was sooooo sick!! I hope to see more content from you, cheers bro!

[@michaelsevers71]

Love watching you Matt and Mr. Nester's videos! Great content!

[@D4NS80]

Great to see some backstage footage of Ben's kit from PWD. I've seen them live a couple of times here in their home country of Australia. ROCK ON!

[@AshStGreen]

Man, these videos are absolutely textbook! Have been keeping me entertained ever since your first upload from the arena show. Bravo!

[@acuralee]

Festivals were always super fun to get prepared for, many years ago the band I played with did 3 shows with the Vans Warped tour. It was amazing seeing all the behind the scenes that went into ensuring every band was ready at their proper time slot.

[@BakersfieldLender]

Big show days are the best days, and I just relived it in all its glory. Thanks for the video!

[@user-xq4cx6gn8n]

I tried out to be a roadie once, Matt. Amazing how everthing has changed backstage!, I'm glad everything went right for you at this gig. Thanks for sharing it was captivating! Stay well.

[@MikexMorgan]

This is the first video of yours (and of this type) i've watched and it's unreal the job you guys do. Credit where credit is due! subbed and look forward to going through the rest of your past stuff and whats to come. Respect!

[@lssoundcompany5034]

Dude I'm a working club drummer, no experience at this level, but can appreciate it from the outside looking in as I've worked proper gigs, and this is fantastic, thank you so much for recording and sharing! And great work too :) I would be psyched to have a drum tech of your caliber (I'd be psyched to have one at all, but that's a different story lol)

[@Sabianism]

Dude this RULED! You rule! Love the funny captions and insights. Don't change a thing man, these are amazing. Be well!

[@jhuamollarve]

Awesome !! You have to keep recording drumtech videos POV about this drumset! Insane

[@loulabarnes4097]

As a drummer and a member of my high school's theater tech group, this is so fun to watch! It looks so satisfying to go backstage at those events and to be able to set up the drum set so perfectly. Thank you!

Great job pal keep them coming rally love the behind the scenes makes me miss my rodie days

So good. My heart was pounding, lol. Please don't stop making videos.

[@beneadesmtb]

How you did the CC on this is amazing! Didn't know all this went on behind the scenes of massive festivals. That drum kit is sick! The copper legs and the paint job is amazing. I'm guessing with a drum tech like yourself, the drums also sound amazing!

[@jambo_b]

amazing video man! really informative and really inspiring for younger drummers who may want to become a drum tech and/or performer, I don't understand how you don't have way more attention on here, keep it up!

Live it up Matt happy for you that would be my second dream job as a drum tech for a bug band. First would be a big time drummer. Seem like a great drum tech, great drummer, and a chill dude that's setting you up for a long career.

[@flashanddancedj]

Hey Matt this was really awesome… The Pantera part was awesome.. Stay safe on the road…

Already love it!

[@dankyypants3397]

That point of view in the crew jam part of the video is great

[@Retroivyleague]

Exactly what a drummer needs to perform without malfunction!! Great Job Matt! You deserved those chips at the end of the day lol!! 🥁🔥🔥💯

[@DANOA7X2009]

Soon as I saw the drums being pulled out of the case I knew it was Luke Holland/Falling In Reverse. Beautiful finish on them

[@robertgarbus1122]

This was really interesting. Thank you for documenting your hard work!

[@ryanwang999]

Great videos/! Keep on posting them. I've learned so much from these videos.

[@MrKveldulv]

I accidentally came across this video on KZbin. It was very interesting for me to see how everything happens before the concert. And up to a certain point I was wondering what kind of group it was. Until I realized what the abbreviation FIR means. It's an amazing job, man! I love Falling in Reverse, Luke is an amazing drummer! But the work of a technician is something incomparable and priceless! Thank you so much for this video. Greetings from 🇷🇺 and the peace to all!

[@masacron]

Extremely useful and realistic behind the scenes, little details and great people everywhere, different venues , same shit !!! LOVE THAT ALL ACCESS RISERS , in my country there's only one company able to propvide that risers...i was fortunate to work for them several times, great stuff !! Thanks for sharing your experience Matt !! I've been drum and guitar/bass tech , last 17 years (bass player too). Stagehand for a lot of shows in Chile, every single day i feel privileged for being paid doing what i love the most. Thanks again mate , keep it loud !!!

[@AlessVsDrums]

Wow man! Incredible! Huge thanks to you and your co workers, you guys make it possible tbh

[@wiktorselke4706]

Please keep making those videos. 🙏 amazing job

[@juusoleino6631]

holyf those drums sound so damn sweet! Great job !

[@justingoboom]

I love these kind of videos, so please keep making them. People do not realize how much goes into putting on a show and you just are showing them the drum side of things. Good job!

[@dafi723]

Very informative video man! I actually tried out P4 for my toms because of your previous video. (Also saw Sleep Token's drummer also uses P4 clears)

[@C5drummer]

Thank you so very much for bringing us along for the ride! Exceptional work as always, and the behind the scenes look at just how much work and dedication from men (and women) like you goes into putting on shows for all of us to enjoy! Plus, not gonna lie, this long format is amazing too. Nothing goes untouched!

Fascinating video man! What stands out to me is how you seem to be calm and on top of everything every step of the way. I know that's pretty much necessary and comes with the years of experience (and you probably knowing every inch of that setup), but having that time limit and the pressure of the crowd and all the crew around you would stress me tf out lol. Thanks for the awesome video, subscribed 🙏🏼
