The Break Down Series - Matt Greiner plays Provision

[@b-proggy7242]

Not a single member of their band misses a beat or a note live. That is musicianship with such technical songs.

[@gabrielcassett3058]

They are a class act. Their live performances are in someways better than recorded versions.

[@SHA8UTIE]

Unfortunately the vocals are generally not great live, especially after the first few songs.

[@SHA8UTIE]

I have seen them like 7 times.

[@TheXmetalxheadx]

thats talent from God bro. theyre christian, + practice. but still

[@timothylarkin4916]

SHA8UTIE have to disagree. Just saw them on their 10 year constellations tour and Jake killed it

[@iviaverick52]

Best posture I've ever seen in a drummer

[@Lvcifxrr]

Matt McGuire ;)

[@averyanderson7486]

brady wood Johnny michaels check him out, great posture and just over all great drummer.

[@penteadofelipe]

Check out Akira Jimbo. Such a great asian drummer

[@Allahpaca]

I sometimes question if his upper half is even connected to his legs.

[@TheGodsMustBeCrazy]

For all who do not know: Matt wrote the lyrics to Provision. He had a "friend" who he invested a lot of his money in this company. While they were touring in Sweden he got a call from the FBI basically saying that he had lost so much money, though he already knew it. He was very sad and felt guilty for what he did, so while he was jogging atop a mountain in Germany, he wrote down this very song. He wrote "I am just as much the problem as the man behind bars. He did with his business what I do in my heart." That is basically to say, why think yourself above someone else just because they did an immoral thing? Many people do not know, but Matt writes a lot of ABR's lyrics.

[@PetrKnyaz0]

anbukakashi689 Thank u! I m from Ukraine, but love Matt sound and style. Interesting story, i wanna to know more about ABR lyrics and band stories.. Sorry my bad english..

[@liljoe645]

Similar to Neil Peart from Rush, he writes a lot of their lyrics

[@samjimenez8713]

+Troy Baker nice avi of aleks

[@blackened872]

A lot of drummers for awesome bands write the lyrics. Just like the fella above with rush, Tomas haake from meshuggah writes a lot of theirs, I know there’s some more I just can’t think of them off the top of my head.

[@bamboozledelia8079]

as a fan of ABR, this is news to me... my gratitude, fellow fans

[@JukeB0xHero8996]

I aspire to be like Matt Greiner. He is everything I love about percussion in one solid performer. His grove and technicality are so on point, and so crisp, that he just brings an original work in all of his songs. I would love to one day be somewhere close to his level, but as a 17 year old drummer with 5 years under his belt, I have a LOOOONG way to go haha

[@AaronDeister99]

You'll be there soon, he started at about 12 as well. Keep drumming brother

[@iviaverick52]

I'm a 24 year old drummer with 14 years under my belt and I still feel like I've got a long way to go as well lol

[@cunnerzzz]

Cameron Fischer Me to brother!

[@iviaverick52]

***** The key is to never stop learning. The minute you think you know it all, is the minute someone else surpasses you.

[@cunnerzzz]

I totally agree, you can never learn and perfect everything, if you do, prove it in the world! :)

[@Ohamel98]

He shook my hand at Warped Tour this year. I have not washed it since

[@carlsmith9308]

Owen Hamel bro it’s been 4 years

[@26muca07]

So your hand became a swamp environment with the texture of a crocodile leather briefcase?

[@ahuman9113]

5 years later I still wouldnt have washed it

[@TheArrow1987]

@@ahuman9113 that sounds disgusting. I don't like being touched like shaking hands or else.

[@RealTech257]

Hahaha #Owen you are a liar 😂😂😂

[@ManleyReviews]

He is of the 1% of metal core drummers that doesn't look like an emo preteen!! Mad props brosef! That was cleaner than ... well, something that was.. idk, really clean. Screw it I suck at analogies.

[@CristianMilani]

in my opinion Matt is one of the greatest drummer on the world... he's very original in him drum fills

[@HunterParkermusic]

3:17 - 3:32 is the greatest moment in metalcore history.

[@tlatoanimachi]

+Hunter Parker Agreed.

[@drumobsession8644]

Hunter Parker so good

[@Patrick-ui9fg]

i think we need to back that up to 3:02 because the switchup at 3:12? jeeesh.

[@probom17]

I love how Matt inputs a lot of gospel grooves in this album, definitely one of the reasons why I'm loving this album more than the others.

[@dovahkiin2212]

Definitely going to be the drummer in heavens band.

[@wezalicious3946]

Hell's band is probably better tbh 😈

[@ZildjianCompany]

To view a closeup of the bells that Matt used in the video please click the link in the video description.

[@alejandronunez2832]

Super talented, love watching this guy! He wrote the lyrics for this song too!

[@LINE4RR]

His face the whole time: Yeah I'm Matt Greiner, and you aren't. Haha so good though

[@robertoesquivel4447]

jeremy wolfe Haha I see that, but truth is this guy is awesome because of how humble he his! Great guy

[@gabrielcassett3058]

True. But you will never meet a more humble and talented individual.

[@AMReyVenz]

Matt, you never stop impressing me. Every time I watch a video of you drumming I'm left speechless. You are one of the greatest drummers if the modern age by far. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@s13iLLuminati]

Just 24 more hours until I see them live again. 2nd time this year, 6th time overall! I can never get enough ABR!!!

[@TrueSoundTV]

Whos thumbs down this? Even if you hate the band, you gotta recognize that talent. That's no easy drumming at all. Pretty awesome!

[@branmar5817]

The craziest thing is watching him and knowing every single note was designed to be there

[@Allyourbase1990]

Saw them play this live last November and it was as old as the album . One of the best live shows I’ve seen

[@adrianpunga1998]

what a powerfull and creative drummer! he looks very cofident when he's playing,so i definetely like it!

[@01234567897982]

Mr. Matt Greiner, you are RIDICULOUS ! one of the best for sure !

[@bilalatthedrums]

absolutely killer. one of my favorite metal drummers. i always learn something new from watching a video of him

[@HunterParkermusic]

I just keep coming back to this playthrough. This is, by far, Matt's best work.

[@andrewblake9764]

He is so perfect his style is unmatched

[@bodybronx3315]

Man, Matt is such a beast! Love to see all of the amazingness. Especially on this song

[@travislloyd1424]

when I saw him live changed my life forever. perfection.

[@curtisculley]

loving the variety of techniques and fills used :)

[@kenziecashflow]

I love how this is such a metal song yet he is so clean cut lol

[@SamiK951]

I didn't know Novak Djokovic played drums!

[@ASTARTES23-b8q]

Sami K hahahahahahaha!!!

[@AlexsBarilo]

Jajajajaja

[@warrenw8705]

One of my favorite ABR songs. I think this is some of Matt's best work.

[@LArapmetal323]

Wow Matt is an amazing drummer in an amazing band wishing those guys the best

[@melissaraul]

appreciate his time and precise playing ,,the blast best and hand technique awesume

[@jophey1]

Sometimes metalcore drumming can be very limited without making it sound overdone. But he just puts in so much effort to make sure it isn't like everything everyone hears. Proud of this drummer. Keep it up matt!

[@TylerPapeOutdoorAdventurer]

Straight up the most amazing thing ive ever seen.

[@Ordacleaphobia]

Oh yeah, that's why Matt Greiner is my favorite drummer. That's right.

[@SeppeDausi]

The straightest back in the world; Matt Greiner

[@jamesevanhart]

Matt Greiner. Words couldn't describe what he can do. What he has done ever since the beginning is just pure influential and brilliant. I would wish him best of luck but he doesn't need that.

[@wdrumz]

I've never heard a DW kit sound sooooo good. The toms and kick just sing here. Usually you never hear that from DW drums, they always sound so lifeless but this time they nailed it that's for sure. Nice job Matt!

[@anthonplake]

***** DW is one of the best sounding kids out there

[@wdrumz]

Yamaha has some of the best sounding drums I have ever played. Their toms just sing. DW is way too expensive too. I got my full blown Yamaha Oak Custom kit 8 piece with PDP rack for 4500ish. THAT is a steal my friend.

[@becauseiey]

***** Truth Custom Drums are too expensive for me to afford, but my god do those kits kick ass. They are so beefy and loud, it's incredible. What do you think of you're 8 piece kit? That seems like a bit more than I would need/prefer, but it all depends on the music you're playing. What kind do you play?

[@wdrumz]

Oh let me specify more hahah. 8,10,12,14, 16 toms. BUT I got 2 snares on the side, the Oak Musashi models, 13 and 12 for my side snare. And the 20 kick with the kit haha. And PDP rack sperate. I've heard some great ones but I've also heard a lot of poor ones. For the the HUGE amount of cash they spent on those, that's a rip off. I play in an alternative rock band right now. But I am learning all genres =D Except metal, I don't like metal drumming at all.

[@becauseiey]

I can respect that. Metal drumming can be pretty showy, but I think drummers like Matt Greiner are what keep me interested. That guy's playing is just flawless and he looks so professional while doing it haha. Also not too over-the-top and showy

[@WiredDrummer]

Matt is the best drummer of its kind! WE WANT MORE!

[@TheGiordanox]

one of best drummers that i have seen in my life

[@kaidenfranco9597]

And this is why he is my favorite drummer

[@ThibaultTresca]

How does he even come up with all this... a true master !!

[@182AVAFan182]

What gets me is how effortlessly he does this. Amazing.

[@drumsky1991]

more of these please... they are really good

[@jonnycutts1303]

Matt G is a very good drum writer and drummer. Matt Halpern is NOT overrated, he deserves all the hype he gets, just like this guy

[@dylanwdrums6492]

That China on the far right sounds amazing holy crap

[@timboslice5950]

I know, he's gotta raise it up though it's hitting the ride!

[@jisonjacob9501]

he deserves the glory and honour :) trust in god thats wat i could learn

[@Daniel379Drummer]

What a throwback I remember when zildjian first released this 👌

[@MrJacksonjamison]

Probably one of the most technical drummers in metal core. He's amazing!

[@bioactivevirus]

+MrJacksonjamison I listen to so much metalcore, and I'm sure that out of all the bands I have heard, he's definitely the most technical.

[@alanbritodelgado5622]

Wow gran vídeo! me encanta como lleva los ritmos, y cero fisura. versatilidad 1000. Saludos desde Chile!

[@inkinen]

Matt Greiner in studio.. Best videos in youtube.

[@TheChutneypot]

Im a guitarist but i enjoy watching drum playthroughs waaaaay more! Especially ones like these n_n

[@sharrythedave4758]

What I really don't know is how he plays drums . He is so inspiring and his drumming .... love that !

[@aaronw548]

One of my favourite drummers breaking down one of my favourite songs by ABR \m/

[@ObeseWizard]

You don't even have to be a drummer to appreciate the insane skill that Matt Greiner possesses. Heck I would listen to just tracks of him drumming.

[@ErikPehrsson]

Favorite song from this album!!

[@DIS0RDERofficial]

I really love the short blastbeat-part at 0.52!! I enjoy this so much :D

[@TYFLOL]

Omg he is sooo talented

[@ginobli14]

You know, it's not even just the fact that he is talented enough to play this that gets me, it's that he's crazy enough to write it! Man he's good! Hard to beat perfection, but I'm sure he will try!

[@oldcmputer]

Just fantastic!!!

[@WBethke]

Such a Bad ass! There's no one like you man!

[@LouSassles]

Matt said he made those himself at Zildjians factory in a number of interviews. Maybe he used to use them, but all the cymbals are Zildjian.

[@ShareXP]

Clean cut, polo, and metal. Rar.

[@lil_jozza5650]

i personally believe Matt is the most chilled, and hardcore drummer of his genre (Y)

[@Mr713819]

Matt Halpern, Matt Garstka, and Matt Greiner. It's kinda weird how 3 of the top drummers in today's metal scene have the same first name.

[@hugorezende199]

+Alfonso Quintanilla For other drummer on "metalcore" stuff check Peter Wildoer (Darkane, James labrie, and also my farorite drummer at metal), Dirk (Soilwork), Jason Costa from All that Remains (songs This calling and Six ) and the crasy drummer from Destrage, an italian metal band .

[@Mr713819]

I actually know about dirk, he is indeed amazing, I love his "dirk blast"

[@Tylerddevil666]

Go listen to matt mcguirre

[@Mr713819]

He isn't nearly as good as the other Matt's lol

[@kennethdrummer08]

Hes so technical not just metalcore drumming. Playing in 5/4, perfect form, just a pleasure to watch

[@manuelalfonzoml]

7/4 my dude. 😁

[@rmard2]

His foot and hand coordination is godlike!

[@jamesanderson9111]

i love your snare!

[@nicholastravis760]

@Jordan G. For sure. He's so consistent and precise too. One of my top drummers. His fills are so rediculous

[@anilcarrier3315]

The sound of the kit on this video is great.

[@michaelfabian2401]

Siiiiiiiiiick drummer!!! Watching thid guy play drums makes me happy =)

[@jonnybravo4322]

Matts just my favorite :D I honestly think he's the best drummer out there right now. you make some filthy variations bro ; D

[@abdielfromhell]

A breakdown series of "Fault line" would be awesome! I already know the song but I wanna see Matt play it!

[@VarsityBA94]

I love him so much

[@computerwiz38]

He played this 10 ft away from me at a percussion clinic. Freakin awesome.

[@doubledongdylan2]

this has to be the best abr drum cover on youtube. dude could probably replace matt greiner!

[@justinwillms17]

this is Matt Greiner..

[@doubledongdylan2]

lol alright, i know a majority of people are oblivious, but I did read the title of this video before I watched it. I know its him haha

[@justinwillms17]

Wasn't sure lol

[@IWonderIff]

damn. matt has me impressed. Hes definitely improved! this is talent.

[@TheAceOfOnes]

I'm so happy I can say I caught one of his sticks and shook this man's hand. Such an amazing down to earth guy

[@fromthenorth2]

Oh my god o_o YES. I love these videos of Matt playing! ^^

[@BassPlayer9000]

The color on the kit looks like a set I used to have called sparkling champagne. They look great in lights👍

[@raidazz1]

Wow!!! Next level drumming

[@TheDudeOnTheDrums]

absolutely stunning creativity and skill, I wish I was able to even come up with beats like this, never mind play them! but lets be honest, when's the beard coming back Matt?

[@greystateofmind.]

talented !!!

[@bram2437]

The best in the biz and a great guy to boot.

[@GuitarGuy22221]

Matt Greiner is a freaking time machine dude, and he's probably the most musical drummer in metal today. Look up some of his stuff

[@xXPnoYx]

Matt Greiner stands out, and I see him as talented What makes him stand out is the way he adds his own drumming to compliment the rest of ABR's talented musicians. Doing such complicated/difficult things doesn't make someone talented, at least imo.

[@indiedrumkid]

Matt!!! U r a beautiful person!!!

[@JohnDoe-bp5js]

And people say Neal Peart is the best drummer....Matt kicks his ass everytime

[@brytonwakely9285]

finally a dw artist :) so happy DW Drums

[@husseinnabhan4618]

Insaneeee!!! I love it!!

[@bluestorm017]

Man this guy is beast! Rock on abr!

[@jessebowles5632]

I think this is my favorite song matt greiner has made to this date

[@penteadofelipe]

Best Drum cover ever!!! wait...

[@dustinmoore9327]

Matt does a lot of cool grooves in this song

[@dkaivmd]

its a bell he custom made at zildjian. in the description it says soundlab prototype

[@danscott41]

those hi-hats sound amazing...440 for the pair...tempting :)

[@joshmatotek8928]

Jay has such an awesome live room.

[@burningcoals6529]

he is amazing

[@Boeser0Fuchs]

Matt is one of the best drummers in Metalcore what the actual fuck?? 3:30 this fill in is super awsome :D

[@jonarsteinkopf162]

How can anyone dislike this? The Matt shows so much passion and emotion playing this, giving it 110%! He wrote this song for the band, it's to the dude who stole Matt's money under the financial crisis (Go fck yourself whoever you are), this is seriously touching my soul. And the snare he built (which he is using in this vid) sounds killer! Biggest inspiration, wouldn't have gotten into this genre without Matt Greiner!

[@iHomelessMonkey]

I do agree with you, I watched this years ago and loved it then but watching it now I considered disliking myself because the camera constantly switching is bugging me

[@mrtn_vw4587]

You fucking rock bro, you are really talented!
