After watching this video, my double bass technique and speed became a lot better. Matt's words and playing have a lot more impact on me than I realize

One of my favorite drummers. He played at our church years ago. All around fabulous dude.

[@christopherloeppke4778]

[@robertblaine6578]

Appreciate you guys bringing Matt on to share some wisdom and inspiration. True legend.

What a great message from Matt to younger drummers 🎉

[@thepluggy1]

his posture is probably the best ive ever seen behind the kit

[@deeayeveeeyees]

believe it or not, thats him relaxed loll

I’ve been playing drums in the praise band at my church for almost 20 years. Matt has been my inspiration for years, I remember when the DW9000 came out and I had to have it because that’s what Matt uses! Started with a huge Pearl set then got the DW collectors after saving up in 2014 and I still play on that kit. Much love to you Matt and thanks for the shout out on the live stream earlier this month!

I really needed to hear this. This guy is amazing as a person and as a drummer. One of the best.

[@ronaldcoleman9370]

Very inspirational video!!!!! Thanks!!!

[@TheEthanofnazareth]

Amazing drummer. Cool dude too!

The original Metal “powerhouse”

[@agee23]

Really nice to see Rescue and Restore songs being played here, still have yet to see a playthrough of Treatment from that record though. Matt, please please consider this!

[@cloudyplacebo7456]

best song on the album imo!

[@michaelyolch79]

Well…that was remarkably enjoyable on many levels! Great job, Matt, and to everyone involved in this wonderfully inspiring production!

[@gideondkhar993]

My first drummer idol Matt Greiner ❤

[@jethrudemendina9084]

Forever my drum hero!

[@hans-petermuller9457]

I don’t like the music, I don’t like this style of play. But the guy does it extremely well, and he seems like a very good and inspiring person to be around. Both thumbs up for Matt Greiner!

[@technicaldeathmetalhead]

I really love comments like this and respect it. Metal can be an abrasive genre but I love seeing other people embrace the musicality of it.

[@chrisggoodwin777]

I discovered Matt through DW and Zildjian, and discovered and met Dustin through Kiesel. I need to listen to more ABR. This was also some great advice!

[@Swedish_Drummer]

I find myself kinda stuck in a self fulfilling prophecy; I can't get myself to practice because I don't see myself as that good of a drummer. But in limiting my practicing, I don't get any better. Very lately I've tried to get out of that negative spiral, but it's a long journey. Hearing drummers journeys and struggles is motivating.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

RIP, brother Aaron 🕊 This was well put together, although when he talked about his gear, it would have been nice if he were behind the kit doing a real kit tour.

[@andrewsun4385]

Awesome!!!🌟🌟💯💯

[@SandeepsinghSandy893]

Amazing man and drummer 😎

[@ssdavengames]

Love this dude

[@kleber8317]

My idol🥁🤘🏼

[@woodtroll3279]

I hope this is accompanied by more drum play throughs of songs he hasn’t done a play through for yet.

[@sharper9009]

Quite interesting he’s not even using his own signature stick anymore

The part about farming being like mowing the lawn is spot-on correct. However, farming being something where you can turn your brain off is the OPPOSITE of my experience. Imagine spending literal HOURS on end in a swather, with nothing to do but THINK. If anything, the swather can be your "think tank."
