Meinl Cymbals - Matt Halpern - "Reptile" Overhead Drum Cam

[@CounterXparts]

That vocal run at 8:51 makes me respect Spencer so much more. Dude can seriously sing.

[@killyyuun]

I love seeing the little details he adds to his playing that you maybe don't hear on your first listen

[@Sasquash19]

The limb independence on this dude is absolutely insane

[@Java_Dude25]

oh trust me, I just so happen to drum exactly the way he does, it's crazy 😂

[@CruelMelody08]

It’s videos like this that make me strive to be a better drummer.

[@brandontaylorguitar8361]

Title should’ve been ‘Matt Halpern being a beast for 15 minutes’

[@jamesfellender5393]

The fact he can memorise these parts note for note in one take is insane!

[@Fudgedrums]

And play it. I know exactly where everything is but could never pull it all off in one take. That’s hectic.

[@VerdeDrums]

i mean he did write the drum parts

[@OpticalDelusionOfficial]

That’s kinda what you do when you write

[@jamesfellender5393]

Jake Lilje I know he did but to still memorise it and not mess up, c’mon man, that takes some serious skill especially for 15 mins and In one take!

[@smokeblunts335]

Theres a pretty clear cut before the solo at 12:45

[@ambientshredder1245]

Whole playthrough is amazing but 12:46-13:20 is just too good!

[@CrappycrapCrappy]

All the little details in that section is just mesmerizing

[@Manas_Kunder_]

More like 0:00 to 14:50 was just awesome

[@roboman260]

That part is sick

[@canofnothing]

Awesome, thank you for this! I keep coming back to these Periphery videos; it's nice to see more from them.

[@reilleygudaitis5310]

Gotta love the black pants/shoes/carpet combo

[@drumotastic]

Awesome angle, performance, and song, but would have been nice to not have a black pants/shoes + carpet situation...

[@chaoticjuice18]

I agree with the similar colors, I would've loved to see his foot-work throughout the song.

[@drjug4066]

@@chaoticjuice18 Try turning your brightness up?

[@3atmy5h1t]

I have no problem seeing his feet on computer/tv but on mobile they just aren’t there.

I'm watching this video in 144p to save data. i didn't even realize this was a drum playthrough

Watch through a better screen then

Oh My God!! this is ART!! he is painting!

[@envyassureddrummer]

Just unbelievably good. Makes me want to play better every time I see you play 🤘🏼

[@mattmo8648]

Anyone notice the drumstick disappear at 14:01?

[@13_cmi]

Looks like two takes were spliced together. Some cymbals and cables moved too.

[@mirrabilis6630]

I love Matt.

[@Death2Dust]

This is a big YES. Thank you for this

[@jaspergillgannon4991]

It Was Yes. That's for sure

[@AboutFalling]

Matt hits ALL the drums

[@kubbe2170]

i fucking love this song, the groove is amazing

[@adawg37]

Needs MOAR V-NECK!!!! Seriously though, I finally got to see all those crazy ghost notes. Just wow

[@Kabz8]

MATT is a BEAST

[@pbred5851]

So much yes!

[@antondrums]

Comments about Spencer's vocals are soo misplaced. If you've clicked this video to see Matt Halpern playing drums to this song and you've managed to find the time to and attention to focus on the vocals your missing a great deal of amazing drumming and not utilising this resource of seeing one of the greatest drummers to every have lived picking apart the boheimian rhapsody of metal on the kit

[@lorenzleppin6961]

You are absolutely right! The drumming is just phenomenally good. And that's what this video ultimately is about. . . . . (when they are not overproduced in the studio, Spencer's vocals can suck though)

Listen, you can show me footage of Periphery playing Reptile from every angle you wish to record it at. . . I will always watch it and sing along with it. If I have my guitar, I will play along too.

[@Venerablenesses]

This song haunts me. I hate the nightmares you gave me.

I've very recently been hitting the Periphy high. and my god this song is immaculate. 34k views. you gotta be fucking me. Can share this shit?

[@claritysedge1786]

Wish this was instrumental version. No offense Spencer, but i wanna hear the drums better haha

[@PrimordialKrishna]

Musically this song is so good, but something about Spencer’s vocals in the beginning throws me off for the whole song

[@CrappycrapCrappy]

Yup he's a bit off tune at the start

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

Ikr?

I’m a drummer myself and he missed a lot of key parts…

[@himynameisaaron86]

I like his voice alot but it's WAY too far in the front on this mix.

[@majorlee1]

Really good drummer! 🤘🥁Kit sounds great! I just can’t get into the singing in this band..

[@heathurban9217]

Vocals are much better on the actual album thank God lol

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

I would love to enjoy his drumming, but the singing is turning me off everytime. It always gives me chalkboard-scratching-cringy-vibes. Just my 2 cents....

[@julie_hutzler_music]

Yeah, I agree. Although is f*cking hard to sing.

[@Jefftarnish]

@@julie_hutzler_music true, the melodies used through most of the song are pretty difficult to sing.

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

@@julie_hutzler_music Yeah, I can see that! But maybe hard to sing doesn't mean good sound. As a musican myself I often make the decision to make my parts "easier" in order to make the song sound better.

[@julie_hutzler_music]

@@Jefftarnish And it's almost always at the extreme top end of his vocal range

[@julie_hutzler_music]

@@ElBoyoElectronico Yes sure, that's a smart thing to do. Fact is, that he can sing it live very closely to the studio version, even though he has to deal with the struggles of using his body as an instrument - if you have a bad day, there's nothing you can do (unlike if your guitar sound crappy lol :D)

[@toma8241]

Everything is enjoyable except the vocals. With a different vocalist this could be perfect.

[@ShrubPlays]

Nah. Spencer's style is part of their sound. He was just having a bad day cause he can definitely perform a lot better. Too bad.

[@toma8241]

@@ShrubPlays Nah. Definitely my opinion, and not a debate because it is my opinion, that the timbre of the vocals is offputting, grating, and whiny. It takes away from the quality of the music.

[@ShrubPlays]

@@toma8241 The only issue is that you stated your opinion like a fact. :)

[@toma8241]

@@ShrubPlays how could anything related to music ever be factual beyond the notes used, melodic or rhythmic? Quite literally, everything else about music, beyond the notes, is categorically subjective. As such, to interpret the statement as anything other than an opinion would be an error.

Yeah honestly I can't listen to Periphery anymore because of the awful cheesy songwriting. It just seems to get worse with every new album.

[@ericweelie9465]

man i love his drumming but that singer makes my ears bleed

[@benmacdhui]

Solid playing for certain. That said, fed up with Every one of these "new metal" sounding the f'n same nowadays. Same style false chords, same clean sound but w/o any heart. As if every one of these 'guys' bought the same Melissa Cross DVD's ffs Besides Jinger & Tatiana - metal is unfortunately dead.

[@DandelionVolta]

False chords? No heart? Wtf are you talking about? I love Jinjer but Periphery is more sonically diverse and innovative than Jinjer. You sound like boomers who can only reminisce of old music and complain that whatever's on TV isn't good enough

[@BurnTheNuance]

Lmfao, this dude just tossed shade at everyone, but praised Jinjer. What the fuck are you smoking my dude? They're as average as it gets. The human brain will never make sense to me. Thanks for the laughs though. How someone can say that a Metalcore band is more diverse in sound then Peri is insane too me (I don't even like the band just a huge fan of Matt). Care to explain how Jinjer is more diverse then a band like Leprous, or The Dillinger Escape Plan? Also, I thought I'd toss in the Periphery has been a band since 05', Jinjer started in around 09' I believe. So how the fuck are they not "new metal"? Why am I trying to debate someone that doesn't even know when the band they're blowing started. Jinjer literally sounds like every other female led Metalcore act. Talk about a moronic opinion.

[@CrappycrapCrappy]

Jinjer and Gojira keeping the scene alive, really. But no hate on Periphery, I love these guys but they're not at the forefront of the scene right now
