The Break Down Series - Matt Greiner plays White Washed

[@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!

[@OperatingM00SE]

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

[@pucupucubumbum]

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

[@WiredDrummer]

Exactly!!

[@chokethechicken1737]

Thank you for the inspiration!!!!

[@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.

[@AugustBurnsSam]

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

[@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.

[@Gabe-vj5ho]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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!!!😆

[@Samurowow]

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

[@LeeR9325]

the jizziest face ever lol 2:31

[@SoquiMR3]

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

Haha! I actually laughed out loud, shit

Yeah he blew a load alright

[@bilalatthedrums]

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

[@PanagiotisPapagiannopoulos]

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

That snare has more crack than Washington D.C.

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.

[@elipruitt_official]

Matt is hands down my favorite drummer

[@antonikruft7027]

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

[@Allyourbase1990]

One of the most technical drummers ever

[@WunnSEN]

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

[@GunDrummer]

Excellent camera work! And obviously excellent job, Matt

[@avnc10]

Love your videos! What about covering this one?

[@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!!

[@mdmorris112]

20 people are crushing his back

[@Gawernator]

lol

[@OfficialWildfires]

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

[@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.

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

This is what it feels like to chew on 5 Gum

[@emotionlessx33]

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

[@davidbryson9610]

Love how effortlessly he plays this.

[@gatesa7x15]

One of my favorite drummers ever! 😊🤘🏼

[@jessebowles5632]

[@dominickguerra189]

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

[@xRamZx]

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

[@Vaulie]

literally one of the best drummers out there.

[@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. 💪🏽

[@Underthejrose]

[@mdmorris112]

Matt sits up one inch higher for every dislike

[@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.

i'm speachless...

[@TuanaChong]

Met him after show at House of Blues in NOLA

[@bjmw93]

Does anyone have any idea what size that oriental china is? That's the exact sound I'm looking for haha. It looks 18", but I'm not sure.

[@JappyIsAwesome]

Here's a link for his artist profile on zildjian, hope it helped zildjian.com/SoundLab/Kits/VI9BR5

[@ZildjianCompany]

In the description of the video is his set-up. You are correct it is an 18" Oriental : Matt Plays: 14" K Session HiHats 16" A Custom Crash 18" A Custom Medium Crash 9" Oriental Splash 12" Oriental Trash China 18" Oriental Trash China 20" K Custom Ride Sound Lab Prototype Bells zildjian.com/archive/mattgreinerbells.jpg

[@danieljordison0793]

+Kyle Michael yeah because zildjian answered its 18"

[@LimpBizkitDrummer]

[@LimpBizkitDrummer]

+DonderoA7 but if you compare the ride and his China, you can see that the ride is bigger than the China.. and his ride is definitely 20''

[@BFMV1000800040]

What's the name of that little cymbal in 2:06?

[@cellularman99]

Zildjian needs to mass produce those bells! They sound so much better than the Zil-Bells.

[@josh200045]

I agree, zilbells are garbage

[@escobanhc1307]

Just get the originals 6“ LP402 ice bell and 9“ sabian radia cup

[@patrickduvall2383]

Does anyone know how he tunes his snare? it sounds glorious! ZildjianCompany can you help me out?

[@TylerOath]

its his own snare company called Greiner Kilmer. not sure how he tunes it exactly, but theres some info on what it is :P Adam Gray solos on Greiner Kilmer snare drum and greiner-kilmer.myshopify.com/

[@stephendavenport316]

What's the deal with his 'floating snare' at @0:50? How's that mounted?

[@DudethatGross]

Its attached to a stand, the snare is moved back a little. But it's still attached, if you look closely.
