The only drummer I’ve ever seen look like he’s going to an interview for an accounting firm, but ends up in a studio like he got lost or something and then just started hammering the drums

[@CreatorWizard]

this comment has me dying lmaoooooo

[@TheMpalmer1020]

It’s a dead on explanation

[@Pschmitty420]

One of the most underrated drummers of the new generation of musicians

[@bradhargis2261]

Pretty sure August burns red is old though.

[@Pschmitty420]

Brad Hargis well when most metal drummer lists have the likes of Lars, Vinny, Neil, John Bonham, Alex Van Halen, Carey, and barely any newer metal I’ll place him under newer generations of drummers.

[@Marino4L]

Anyone who keeps up with current metal knows him and Chris Turner are the two best in the game.

[@Idanixn]

Agree brother

[@Thomohawk21]

@@bradhargis2261 ABR Old??? Heck no bro!

[@fchandale]

I bet you he chews his gum in a different time signature while playing. Effortlessly.

[@biggin92191]

Listening to a different song in his monitors.

Phillip Betts While asleep.

[@cameronfadok3561]

Charlie Fandale he could play as I lay dying - 94 hours EASILY

[@MrLordfa]

Charlie Fandale "

[@patrickstar7428]

He smacks his gum on the offbeat of 3

[@jaronmiller1665]

I love how Matt really plays the song and not just a beat, The drums are always so intertwined in ABR songs

[@pucupucubumbum]

Matt is such an amazing drummer and a great inspiration!!!

[@WiredDrummer]

Exactly!!

[@chokethechicken1737]

Thank you for the inspiration!!!!

[@caesar7634]

the best metalcore Drummer out there.. no one can fuck with him

[@Justices22]

I would also consider Dan Searle (Architects) or Nic Peterssen (Northlane) so be honest. But Matthew Greiner is a beast nevertheless though

[@thankessick2604]

Havent seen me play yet! :-) hahaha Matt is dope though. Love his playing!

[@Cryptiiix]

Chris from Oceans Ate Alaska is also a beast. The man is pretty much a robot

[@avnc10]

Chris from Oceans Ate Alaska is unique. That guy is a machine...

[@rensimi750]

avnc10 exactly.

[@Samurowow]

Thats some amazing drumming and the sound is hilarously good and natural. No stupid triggers. Just PURE drums :D

[@Micah__]

At 3:00 Matt forgets to hit the crashes. It's all right though, sometimes I forget things too. Like this morning, I was feeling a little tired so I poured some Monster Energy into my coffee. I was half way to work then realized I forgot my car.

[@pw0106]

KillerBoots lol

[@SlinkyTHAshooter]

In a situation like that, the guy wrote the fucking track, so he can play it as sloppy and miss parts as much as he wants lol super solid playthrough though. That china is on POINT

[@hectorsanaifric343]

KillerBoots you also forgot to think before you made that comment

[@ueharajunior21]

Frederick Piperata you must be fun at parties.

[@adrieldiaz1980]

KillerBoots That’s how we are, someone can have all kind of talents and performs something great but there is always going to be someone like you aiming those minor mistakes that anyone cares.

[@brianjezuit1258]

I first heard of Matt Greiner from ads in both Modern Drummer and DRUM! Magazines, but never listened to either him or ABR until about two days ago. This guy is absolutely incredible!!! I NEVER EXPECTED the level of technical proficiency and groove that he has... I'm completely blown away--just awesome!!!😆

[@Allyourbase1990]

One of the most technical drummers ever

[@Gabe-vj5ho]

October 2023 here and Matt is still amazing to watch do his thing!

[@CannabisKills]

lord ive had this song and the drum intro stuck in my head for years. its one of those songs by ABR that just comes and goes, whenever im feeling motivated or challenged or good it comes in my head. its like youre going into war or something, absolutely epic

[@SixDogsMusic]

20 people are crushing his back

[@Gawernator]

lol

[@PanagiotisPapagiannopoulos]

That is what we call a drumset and amazing and talented playing!

[@LeeR9325]

the jizziest face ever lol 2:31

[@SoquiMR3]

3:52 am in the morning and I just laughed LOUDLY! Thanks!

[@luizmakesvideos]

Haha! I actually laughed out loud, shit

[@Pokesabbath]

Yeah he blew a load alright

[@Koragh_]

@@SoquiMR3 thanks for ending the vid..

[@elipruitt_official]

Matt is hands down my favorite drummer

[@joey80]

That snare has more crack than Washington D.C.

[@Georgiapyro]

+studvicious lmao

[@TylerOath]

It's his Greinerkilmer snare

[@alexd2227]

Dope comment.

[@vincem6351]

Best comment on KZbin hands down 😂

[@mattjwatson5089]

From the start, i kept thinking " what the fuck is wrong with that snare"? It sounds like shit.

[@bilalatthedrums]

i am constantly impressed by how great and creative this man is

[@codygernes2478]

I swear Matt has some marching bass line knowledge with these splits and fills🥶

[@GunDrummer]

Excellent camera work! And obviously excellent job, Matt

[@avnc10]

Love your videos! What about covering this one?

[@NikodemHodur]

Matt is my favorite drummer. I`m learning this song but it's so difficult in the blast section, but soon I will crack it. 😎

[@HMonk-hd1zr]

Yaa buddy! Matt is my favorite drummer too. 💪🏽

[@dominickguerra189]

Playing this song gives me chills down the spine every time!!!!!! Nothing beats zildjian!... except my hhx china..

[@emotionlessx33]

Matt can play the drums faster than my car can drive lol

[@antonikruft7027]

OH MY GOD, I love watching Matt's drum play-through's, what a legend!!!

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

This is what it feels like to chew on 5 Gum

[@WunnSEN]

I must have watched this about 6=7 times since it has released and every time it still impresses me!

[@xRamZx]

Zildjian, PLEASE release his custom bells for purchase! Add them to the Zil-Bel line, as MG Customs.

[@BasedGodEmperorTrump]

Matt Greiner is a fucking beast.

[@davidbryson9610]

Love how effortlessly he plays this.

[@jessebowles5632]

yes! all of these videos have been amazing

[@crosschek4]

Can't believe this guy is from Manheim. My dad played with him at my church one weekend a good number of years ago. I'm still jealous.

[@peterjsmcleod3341]

Just remember he's played these songs hundreds of times he's probably really bored of playing them.

[@OfficialWildfires]

A true inspiration, on & off the kit. God bless & keep him.

[@Underthejrose]

\m/ I could watch these drum videos all day. Matt is bomb

[@InsomniakDrums]

I love both the original version of the song, AND all the stuff he added/changed with this playthrough. Matt is a superb drummer, and I love all his stuff. If you happen to see this man, thank you so much for being such an amazing inspiration to me and many of my fellow drummers who feel the same way! You're great man, keep doing what you're doing!!

[@MichaelMorlote]

Ladies and gentlemen he did all that while chewing gum lol

[@fuddyruckers3]

I probably would've bit my tongue off haha

[@NolanBellingerDrums]

+Michael Morlote Hes always chewing gum.

[@alexbrennan3294]

for some strange reason chewing gum whilst playing gives you more focus and better timing.

[@andrewwalden5135]

yea not that hard to chew gum and play it keeps you focused and timing is always on point cause you chew on the 2 and 4 beat or whatever timing you are playing.

[@rhopkins1025]

We drummers chew gum while playing live to keep us from looking mentally retarded with the bizarre things our mouths start to do. My friends say I look like I'm a deaf person trying to talk.

[@Vaulie]

literally one of the best drummers out there.

[@gatesa7x15]

One of my favorite drummers ever! 😊🤘🏼

[@gankytime7]

WOW! Thats the best ABR drum cover I've EVER SEEEEEN!!!!!

[@drumsrockthehouse]

Thats because Matt Greiner is ABR's drummer.

[@drumsrockthehouse]

[@BrendanHarberts32]

[@FatNuts1983]

Best drummer alive today

[@YoBadSniperDude]

Matt Garstka is fucking insane aswell

[@xcodenz]

YoBadSniperDude I enjoy Matt Garstka more than greener ,still both drumming beasts .. Garstka more tech i reckon

[@AaandreSevenfold]

meh id still give that crown to gartska.

[@ErikPehrsson]

This guy.... he’s amazing. God bless him!

[@Sam_Eisenberg]

Chewing gum actually helps me focus when I'm drumming. Back in high school, our WGI drumline director would let us chew gum during rehearsals. Kept our brains occupied while playing through our parts. Something about it. Also, behind the kit, it keeps you from getting the "wide open drummer mouth" thing, Lol.

[@CristianSanchezRestrepo]

the best drum player that i have ever seen in my life, and also he cares about his posture in order to avoid lesions...but should try to move less your neck in order to be more safety. Bless

This is who you call the right guy for the job.

[@adamputtergill]

Best posture ever

[@andrewnibbi]

This man could literally do anything Jon Bonham or Steve Smith could do with the toes on his right foot; his hands do almost nothing particularly hard while he works miracles with the pedals. He singlehandedly brought me into a genre I don't really like, just because of his raw talent. Ugh so good

[@IRMaxi]

Most people can’t chew gum and walk This man has full limb independence and master control and plays perfectly
