Periphery's Matt Halpern playing through "The Bad Thing" at Russo's Music (Asbury Park, NJ 10/04/16)

[@stefanmccabe4705]

These kids don't know who they're sitting next to...

[@KirkWilson86]

I'm almost envious of those kids.

[@TunnelSnake-es7tu]

They must be autistic

[@benjaminbass2607]

Those kids are sitting next to one of the best drummers ever and they’re just playing with a bottle

[@Chillidog650]

They have no idea lol

[@cyclopticwonder5]

my thoughts exactly. I'm a drummer and I could not imagine being that close, listening to my drumming role model haha and they are just playing with bottles!

[@Squallkicks]

I used to be a kid like these 3 around great musicians while ignoring them and playing games, but those exposures eventually lead to a deep love of music later on in my life and I can look back to those moments as little seeds planted in soil that eventually bloomed.

[@OBsurdityTV]

Kids have ADD

[@stephenelijah5974]

I paid $60 the other day to see from middle of the crowd what these kids saw for free since their dad dragged them there so he could watch the halp play. They have no clue the glory they witnessed.

Squallkicks very well said

[@matteobdrums]

The kid covering his ears at 2:20 is priceless ahahah

[@richardgross7005]

Matteo Barca I was paying attention to the bottle flip. Lmao

[@Terrible_Peril]

Richard Gross right?? Lil shaver's got way too much top spin going on, too much flick in the wrist.

[@rhitosparsha]

So many bottle flips!

[@BrianPurge]

needs more water

[@KirkWilson86]

My brain couldn't comprehend his left foot keeping beat that fast on the hi hat.

[@MrMntsrck]

I do that all the time keeping time.

[@joshx555]

im over here jaw dropped at all the ghost notes.... wishing i could meet matt. hell or even see periphery... and theres likes 2 kids sitting next to him not givin 2 shits

[@mikedixon8830]

As a guitarist, I approve of Matt hitting those drums hard.

[@MrNinjaRope]

I was blessed to be attending a workshop in MD when Misha and Matt came. Matt is absolutely insane. He is an amazing drummer and It seems like he really does enjoy giving back to the music community. Teaching music once you have mastered the craft is like Jedi Master Yoda training the next generation.

[@tysonreesmusic]

Everyone complaining about how the kid throwing the bottle isn't paying attention to Matt... Neither were you.

[@krenwregget7667]

Matt infuses his playing with such joy and his swing is unequalled in the genre.

[@rollinfever]

HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AMAZING! You see those bottle flips at 4:03???!?!?

[@synhet84]

LENGEND ! mindblown

[@Kideem]

i still cant believe i met this dude outside the venue they were playing at in kansas city. best 20 seconds of my life

[@caden0622]

Ahhhh. The hoodie V Neck... Bold choice.

[@TYFLOL]

Still impressed by his left feet

[@dannyblong]

TYFLOL And the brains that control them

[@madhya]

he has more than one left foot?

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

DCD Chango yeah, they take turns on the left side.

[@josuastangl7140]

@@madhya obviously, how else would he be able to play those patterns😂

[@xLatch]

The effect at 5:13 felt so gooood

[@deafband9482]

La

[@araldodelflame8686]

I felt a strange emotional feeling deep inside my stomach at 6:40, when my favourite part kicks in and Matt smiles non-stop for like 30 seconds. Literally chills all over my arms. Oh and also the kids nailed a bottle flip at 7:13

[@lloydgriffiths1847]

That sub drop

[@Chillidog650]

I would have been getting down in that music store those kids would not have stood a chance

[@justinbeamon6624]

I wanna be that snare.

[@dregnar85]

Those kids are all about the street life.

[@chaddavis4563]

americas youth in the back... so proud..

[@Entitydrums]

the kids doing the bottle flipping have me dying lmaooooo

[@RobLundgren]

[@richardgross7005]

[@MikeIsaev]

[@nicolasfrossard4315]

Fucking awesome!

[@tomrawstorn]

Tight as fuck as always

[@aVamer]

So good🤘I wish the stack was a bit spicier tho.

[@308media74]

I promise , that kid is not mine !!

[@lachlanpatrick1312]

Wpw, killed it man

[@TristanB93]

Is this an alternate version of the song? It sounds so good with those little piano bits!

[@Bike_Chain]

Why are all the best drummers named matt

[@kaykramer9045]

The Best!

[@TheMartinFigueroa]

3:17.........

[@FanaticDrummer]

Bradley Cooper why are you in Matt's seat?

[@DR-ge8hp]

But that bottle tho!

[@slavicharrystyles6914]

I don't know why, but at first, I thought the title of the video said "The Bald Thing"

[@hvze9848]

Nolly

[@tristanribbensmusic]

Bottle flipping in the background tho

[@gavin8399]

5:13 😥💦🔥

[@luigikart11]

My god, the ADD in the youth is strong these days...can't pay attention for two seconds to the genius going on in front of them

[@blitzn00dle50]

grandpa ass comment + armchair diagnosis + confirmation bias

[@ayusharipirala3121]

WHAT DA FUCK IS DAT

[@williamdistasio9358]

Jesus, he's so good, makes that shitty drum set sound good

[@djentlover]

He uses those drums to record too, not shitty at all

[@KeannuReevezzz03]

I really hate that he changed the beat for the power hand on 6:40 its just doesn't work for that part of the song tbh

[@SezamMusic]

It’s okay man he probably played that song hundreds of times, let him change a couple things to have fun lmao

[@gregoriousblantonius]

You’d think they could at least take the price tags off of the cymbal stands..
