Matt Greiner “Creative Captivity” Drum Playthrough | August Burns Red

Originally featured on August Burns Red’s 2013 LP, Rescue & Restore, “Creative Captivity” sees the band exploring their more melodic side, trading speed for groove yet never abandoning their pension for precision, especially with drummer Matt Greiner’s signature syncopation. Heaviness that might have otherwise been more easily translated through down-tuned riffs alone is instead realized through an evocative exploration of melancholic moods that routinely eclipses an edge of optimism, driven by Matt’s powerful percussion. Expanding the track’s pathos, Taylor Brandt and Christopher Lewis provide outstanding violin and trumpet performances, respectively, contrasting artistic expectations that further highlight Matt’s musical mastery through his understanding of the value of space: giving drums room to breathe makes his technical prowess that much more affective. Sweetwater Studios had the pleasure of hosting Matt for a drum playthrough of August Burns Red’s “Creative Captivity.” Turn it up and check it out!

Love watching Matt play drums! He always gives 110% and puts on a clinic. Nicest & most genuine dude too. Beautiful to see + hear how he plays, like the part from 1:25 to 1:38.

[@CornerStoreDrums]

Matt is an absolute legend & a true inspiration! Much appreciated for this Sweetwater! 🙏

[@alexnorris636]

Why isn’t the full guitar tracks in here? Kinda sounds weird with me having to imagine it 😅

[@Micah__]

I’m somewhat disappointed Matt didn’t pretend to play the horn part during the end of the song with one of his drumsticks. Haha

[@alexnorris636]

I’m mostly disappointed they only used part of the instrumentals behind it instead of both guitar parts… really kinda ruins the play through for me

[@adamstrachn]

Amazing presentation Sweetwater ! Happy you have Matt on! Would love to see Richie from Arch Echo, Matt Halpern from Periphery, Mike Portnoy or Anup Sastry. Not sure of the songs they should preform, but that's off the top of my head.

[@beetlejews]

Matt is just the greatest!!!!

[@humannimalart3502]

That drum line is so beautiful, criative, envolving!!! Thanks for this video Matt and Sweetwater!

[@rickboyle6506]

I will never not love any drum cam video of Matt. Phenomenal, relaxed, in the moment, creative, can get energized of course 😂 but it’s like he’s in his element. Hardly have to try. He’ll always be my favorite drummer to hear.

[@alexplus6826]

I love your style so much..! the satisfaction/passion on your face at the end of de funky bell party no words explain this feeling..!! 3:30 sorry 4 my English im french canadian !

[@bearmehenceofficial24]

Matt is the GOAT! One of my favorite drummers of all time!! Awesome to see you collaborating with him!! I think it would be cool to have Brody Tayler Smith of Invent Animate play their song “Shade Astray” or Alex Camarena of Silent Planet play The Overgrowth! As a metal head those are some of my favorite drummers and artist!🔥

Wow

🥰🥰🥰

[@AndrewSmith-lg8dj]

Quality

[@mutedrumsdaddy3108]

It's hard to believe this is the same band i'd go see at Warped Tour and on Wednesday nights at the door in dallas with bands like All That Remains and Through the Eyes Of The Dead.

[@DowellPa]

Such an underrated album. Incredibly creative and unique.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

The guitar ruined that beautiful bass tone 😂
