I leave for the Avenged Sevenfold tour tomorrow! Make sure to subscribe to see more behind the scenes drum tech videos!

[@AugustoHaack]

I´m loving these videos man! Cheers from Brazil!

[@SaucyOperator]

Now I have Rock With You stuck in my head. Kit sounded great, and nice to see folks digging die cast!

[@AugustoHaack]

No way dude. That's awesome. Sweet vid bruh

[@ericcarr1648]

It's very cool to see the respect their drummer showed you.

[@Phoney.Baloney]

It's because he's Australian and taught respect hard work and be grateful for others.

Every drummer needs to watch this. Inevitably we will find ourselves in situations where we need to set up and tear down fast. Having a system that achieves speed without compromising our gear is a must. Thanks for posting this.

[@beyanhenson2767]

Absolutely, I’ve been playing and giging for 30 + years and have learned and are using things I’ve seen just watching a couple of Matt’s videos.

[@eriklarson9137]

Memory locks are 100% the most critical piece of gear. It's mind bottling to me to see them using gaff tape. Hopefully that is temporary.

[@asarsalari]

Man.. as a small time cover band drummer, this is the best content ever. Thanks for taking the time to document it for us while you're already busy af. Some great tips on drum care and tuning too!

[@brandynkilpatrick]

as an aspiring drum tech/general touring roadie these videos are so cool to watch! love how high quality these are too!!

[@collinkerr6415]

I would love to see a designated video about all the little tips / tricks / gear you use and recommend. It’s really interesting seeing your set up process for big shows like these. As a working drummer myself I love learning more efficient ways to set up and play since I don’t have a great crew like this. Keep up the great work!!

[@NicolasxMenendez]

Please keep this kind of footage coming. I feel so inspired

[@JETX1990]

Your tech series is like unboxing videos on steroids. I’m addicted dude. I feel like I missed my calling watching these. Keep kicking ass. 🤘🏻

[@Kairos_kcs]

These videos are very cathartic and engaging for me. Having been a gigging drummer before, watching an expert go about their work is inspiring, but also provides an interesting sense of comfort and companionship in seeing someone else go through setting up and tearing down a kit. And, of course, nerding out over drum gear! Thank you for the work that goes into what you do, and these videos!

[@matthewgcrosse8066]

Really love the limited cuts. Not usually a fan of voice over narration with a lot of cuts I enjoy just watching you do your thing I learn so much so thank you

[@murkshroom]

Very interesting to watch. Super professional. Thanks!

[@craigdrums]

Sleeping with sirens? Edit 5 minutes later: I guessed the name before the drum head. lol I saw the SWS labels in the trailer.

[@zakags]

Love to see how you spoil the drums and the drummers. Appreciate every detail and thing you did. Hope to see you here in Indonesia Matt!🎉

[@zakags]

Forget to type CHEERS!!!!

[@LHawkesDrums]

I love the idea of taping the stands at their specific leg spread too, really means the setup can be as consistent as possible. Awesome vid Matt!

[@DJWAVEZsyd]

Actually enjoyed watching this right through... Mad respect for the work you do man. Awesome

[@andregsilveira1]

"CHEERS" bro. I just knew your videos and I'm watching all. I'm from Brazil, I love drums, but you brough a new way to enjoy the instrument. All that routine, the way you cara and do the job is incredible. Congrats Bro, I'm loving it!!!

[@stevekushner9387]

Watched for about 15 minutes wondering why you stopped with the CC only to realize I turned it off. Immediately started from the beginning again and was not a bit disappointed in my choice. Great videos thanks for taking the time!

[@stickdrumsnrocknroll]

Cheers Matt ! I discovered your channel yesterday and watched your 3 last videos from start to finish. Thanks for sharing :)

[@matthorndrums]

Glad you dug the video, bro! Thanks for watching!

[@Bungletronics]

I thought you were ignoring the cymbal angles then I looked up a video of the guy and wow! He seems to have some Daru Jones inspiration on his cymbals!

[@niek2626]

Sleeping with Sirens is such a dope band! Got to see them twice now even though i cannot sing along with one song i really like them!

[@MrItanaa]

Cheers from a small city in the extreme north of Brazil. Love your content, lad! Keep it up. I am a Church drummer and i am learning so much with your videos. So much professionalism.

Excellent work Matt! As a pro drummer it's always nice to look for clever tips, tricks and methods I could utilize with my own equipment. The side snare is a Tama S.L.P. Fat Spruce 14"x6". It's a killer drum and pretty versatile.

Great video! "Cheers" lol I love setting up drums when I tech so anyone can set them up. When I play, I use a rack system and locks so everything stays where it belongs. Stay safe out there. Maybe I'll see you on the road.

still hands down, the best drum tech/setup/educational vids around. Looking forward to the subscriber number jump , cause it will. top notch content

[@okemojo1]

Love it Matt. I always pick up little tricks from your tech videos. I’ve never truly been in a position to be a drum tech, nor needed one myself as I’ve always mainly played in bar bands. That’s slowly changing? I’ve been playing with Rick Redington in Vermont for 6 months . Very cool guy. Great music and vibe. He’s been on the map for a long time now. I sent your last tech video to a friend that’s my tech in training. He will get this one as well. He isn’t a musician what so ever, but has a very deep application for music. He’s very mechanical and detail oriented. I won’t need him often but I’m getting him dialed in. Have three shows coming up with three bands in two states in two days. This guy will be MVP. I have a Face Page, Osborn Percussion if you care to follow.

[@ledrummah]

I will say, I used to work at a venue til last year as the house LD, but the little things such as you remembering Sid's name, goes a long way. Means a lot seeing you care enough to remember names, I on the other hand, am HORRIBLE at doing that, but well, keep the vids coming when you can, they're badass man!

[@ledrummah]

oh and "CHEERS" I did cheers w water tho haha

[@21storiesdown37]

I think it’s really unique how some bands play there biggest songs ever at the end of shows, sws is one of my all time favorite bands, and can’t hang is a must on my rock playlist think it’s sick you got to drum tech for matty!

[@Lifelover00123]

That kit finish was also a Dixon finish believe it or not a number of years ago. They had a few different color varieties that were insanely beautiful in person. The depth of it is stunning. The snare drum looks like the fat spruce variety of S.L.P. Lastly a tip for the audience : The cleaning of cymbals does change their sound so remember if you're happy with the way your cymbals sound and they are "dirty", don't clean them! Keep doing you Matt ty for taking us along with you

[@ChipsNeeson]

The Dixon finishes were similar but not the same. Tama's Black Clouds and Silver Linings finish was designed for MP after his last album with DT.

[@Lifelover00123]

Agreed! Super similar but not the same o7@@ChipsNeeson

[@hosiern]

CHEERS Matt! Awesome vids, love your content! Thanks for sharing your POV! It’s so eye opening for those of us that always wondered how the musicians we love prepare for a show, and to see all the work put in by the awesome techs and hands that work behind the scenes to make it all happen! Looking forward to seeing more great vids like this, hopefully from your A7X tour!!!

[@MikeP2055]

I can't believe I just watched two back to back drum tech videos, for a total of almost two hours . . . and was glued to every damn second. I even rewound them *numerous* times whenever I saw something nifty that I needed to remember for my own setup. I should have taken notes. (Branden Steineckert built a block/backstop thing for the front of his riser so the bass drum would stop trying to escape, ha.)

[@jolemite2639]

You were on point with the idea of making videos like this my man! This shit is gonna blow up. I watched it start to finish & Im sure I’ll do the same with any other vids you post. Cheers to “The Road Crew” 🤟😄🤘
