The Top 3 Matt Cameron Beats From Superunknown

[@timlovegrove1097]

Like Suicide is a masterpiece from Cameron. Subtle, snakey snares-off tom groove, picking it up to a half time ride part in the middle and then driving the back end of the song with that monster ride bell groove. The whole album is great but it's a brilliant ending. So many great drum parts on that record.

[@donnieolaughlin1758]

Matt Cameron is honestly my favorite drummer from my teens and the biggest influence on my drumming

[@Dadstrength2.0]

I was lucky enough to have the chance to meet him today.

[@davyboy9397]

Matt is a drummer who doesn't get enough recognition. Also Jimmy Chamberlin. Both monster drummers ! And my favorites from the 90s scene

[@dannyjesse3655]

YES! finally someone else agrees that Kickstand has one of the coolest beats EVER PLAYED.

[@8020drummer]

The album order is perfect too. Right after Day I Tried to Live

[@jeffament9330]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jeru09]

I’m no percussionist, but it seems like the last minute of “My Wave” should’ve been included in this video cuzzzzzzz……wow!

[@ToberSchorrMusicLab]

Love Matt Cameron! Love that you are building that bridge between jazz and rock. Keep 'em coming!

[@danalogue]

I like how Matt played Just Like Suicide especially the flams throughout and the tasty ride in the chorus.

[@ЯрославШевченко-х7й]

O, yes, bro... Many many times I listened to this song, each time as if living a whole life. And Matthew's drum part was one of main reasons for this

[@GringoLoco1980]

Superunknown is one of my favorites from the 90's. It's solid front to back. Limo Wreck, Fresh Tendrils and Like Suicide are a few I like jamming to.

[@jamesrice5058]

The best rock n roll drummer of the 90’s. No cap!!!

[@LDdrums20]

This ☝️

[@Brian-ek6no]

Top 3 bro

[@viggolc6378]

Sean Kinney too

[@nick3718]

mf said no cap

[@tingkagol]

I've always thought the way Matt combines the hi-tom and snare in succession in My Wave is so tasteful. Also the breakdown in Black Hole Sun is hella cool. The chorus in She Likes Surprises is also something I've wanted to learn but haven't got around to yet. Just one of the most tasteful rock drummers out there.

[@aavila1206]

You guys should all check out ECHO OF MILES. It’s the GREATEST compilation of all times. With B-sides, covers and remixes of Soundgarden tracks. You’ll find some of the greatest Soundgarden tracks on there.

[@jerroneous8549]

So nice to see Matt getting some love! One of my top 5. Great sounding kit and playing!

[@LDdrums20]

His work on the temple of the dog album is beyond amazing

[@sz-ll9iq]

Fond memories attempting to play along to this album in 94’ and missing a lot of details, lol. Really cool to hear shades of Zigaboo or Gadd in this context, Matt is such a great player.

[@two-eyesmckay1400]

Mr 20...you are a brave man. With Spoonman, the cowbell/percussion makes the track. Excellently broken down.

[@voxextremos22]

I’d love this but for Jimmy Chamberlain From Siamese Dream 3 songs Cherub Rock Geek U.S.A Silverfuck or Maynaise

[@flowerlandofjohn]

Hmm, I might take you up on that. Good songs with brilliant drumming 🤩👍🏻

[@luckylayne]

absolutely. Chamberlain is an absolute beast

[@flowerlandofjohn]

@@luckylayne: yes he’s an absolutely brilliant (studio) drummer. I say it like that since I’ve seen him totally butcher songs live with SP through constant soloing - and that is saying a lot being a drummer myself 😅😬😂 Don’t know why he behaved like that. Totally obstinate by boredom of touring, or maybe escapism to not crave drugs. I don’t know. But sad to witness a brilliant drummer ruin shows with his brilliance 😳😂

[@dannorris642]

I've been into that record for over 25 years and My Wave still messes me up.

[@christopherlockwood9321]

Yes dude! More content like this would be greatly appreciated.!

[@ILikeWafflz]

Ahh Spoonman. That one song may be responsible for getting me into drums. I was playing rock band and came across it and was blown away at how much it stood out from all the other tracks, and how it was _way_ more fun to play than everything else. I also got the DLC and found Pretty Noose stuck out the same way. My brother had a generic electronic kit at the time, and I started tapping away to various songs on it. Eventually on March 7th of 2010, I made a spur-of-the-moment purchase of a drum set and haven't looked back since. I always really dug the way Matt would play odd time in a way that sounded good but would also trip you up; it made figuring it out very satisfying.

[@TheChipMcDonald]

Between Cornell's vocals, crazy guitar tunings, and Cameron's drumming SG is probably the hardest band to do covers of IMO. I think of Matt Cameron as the closest thing to Neil Peart we've had; each song has constructed, *unique* beats, unique parts. I wish he'd do some fusion/rock projects.

[@isaaccurry3049]

Been favorites for over 20 years. Good to see the appreciation and good attempts at his grooves. So much intuition put into technicality

[@yahhteebockity]

That's a great snare sound you have. It's crackin

[@jefflogsdon3328]

The Day I Tried To Live has always caught my attention

[@8020drummer]

I woke the same… …as any other day except your voice was in my head…

[@robertalbiston7822]

Good tunings, especially that snare-not the typical rehearsal studio coffee cans. Really helps make this great session.

[@ЯрославШевченко-х7й]

When i listend a Soundgarden at the first time (it was in 1996 and it was a '94 and '96 albums on two audiocassetes), i would empressured by the unstandart harmonies, rhitms, lead vocal and drums player masterpiece playing. Long life, mister Mattew Cammeron, the big master of drumming art. God Bless you

[@arjunapartha]

Matt C is my two favorite drummers!(Cameron & Chamberlin)

[@drudence]

FINALLY Matt getting some love! Has been my favourite drummer forever and gets so little attention.

[@affekonig2000]

Been on this Soundgarden kick for the last week or so, started down a Matt C hole and here we are...again.

[@McAppleJuice]

“Feel the rhythm with their…something” lmao 🤣 thanks for making this, Matt’s playing has influenced me so much and we picked almost the same songs. I’d love to see a video on Ronnie Vannucci Jr 🤩 best beats!!!

[@johncollins5552]

I love this early nineties drumming style, another great one is the Screaming Trees Dust album, solid playing but with a couple of odd time grooves. Stone Temple Pilots and Alice in Chains had that too!

[@nickturnbull4105]

Many thanks for this , well demonstrated and precise breakdown of Mat Cameron's incredible and musical drumming , Superunknown is a total masterpiece from start to finish ,its great that you appreciate how great Cameron really is and have broken some of his amazing playing down and demonstrated so well . Great to see all the comments and see so many others appreciate MC's unique and tasteful playing . Thanks 😂

[@nickturnbull4105]

You're a great inspiration and play beautifully ,best wishes 🙏🏼🌷

[@Pariko225]

Thanks ! I’m a huuuuuge fan of Matt Cameron. His drumming made that record great.

[@avicohen2980]

Great video. ur snare sounds great too btw.. do more rock break downs, that was sick

[@lizziebastion]

Some of your phrasing is different than I would interpret it, but I love that his parts have enough space that you can interpret them in different ways.

[@Viciousverb]

Kit sounds fantastic man. Good playing as well.

[@tdrum21]

Nice feature. Love Matt & Soundgarden 👌🏽🔥🎶🥁

[@jaydenkhoury4254]

you should make one of these for some danny carey grooves 😈

[@jackpainting7150]

Matt is the reason I started playing the drums and through whom I then discovered Bonham, Mitch Mitchell, Steely Dan, Copeland, Elvin Jones and Gadd. You can hear a bit of everything in his playing. A lot of the great rock players grew up on a decent amount of jazz which filtered through into their playing.

[@ericmcvey3986]

Ben S. Also played drums on the recording of head down.

[@lukoshey79]

Damn dude you just made me remember one of those awkward high school moments from 25 years ago, there was a band competition with local groups, we chose Spoonman and i believe that the drummer from another band, who had generously offered to bring his kit to the competition for us all to use, deliberately only packed his kick snare and hi hats, NO F@CKING TOMS.. drummers nightmare, but against all odds, i pounded away on on the kick drum and we came in at 4th place, out of the 4 bands competing...some lessons learned that day.

[@davidcarbonnel6396]

One of my favorite drummers! Thanks

[@Darksidemustang5]

Watching you break down Kickstand made me realize how much of a Stewart Copeland vibe the drums have

[@jeff_gut]

Thanks for the great video!. Just curious, which snare are you using in the video?.

[@leocomerford]

What strikes me about the drum part in the "Head Down" intro/guitar refrain thing is how voice-like it is: you could probably draw a line from it to some of the shouty, half-rapped hype-man-ish vocal bits from the nu-metal/post-grunge era ("I'VE BEEN LIVIN' A LIEEEEEE" etc. etc.)

[@flybatramirez350]

This was InstaClick - Matt is totally underrated. And then you go being all snobbish and pick my 3 least favourite songs from an otherwise excellent album. (Tip for follow-up video: the 3 best Cameron beats from Superunknown are Let Me Drown. And not because I'm 75% through learning it)

[@vincristine7035]

Oooh can we get some love for Half? That's one of my top Soundgarden songs but it gets so little love.

[@flowerlandofjohn]

Keep working on those grooves and them grooves will come to you!

Years ago my friend wanted to cover Kickstand because he said "it would be easy". As soon as I sat down to learn it on the drums I realized something was off haha

[@markvandivier]

Nate, I’m still waiting on your Animal (from the muppets) impression while you play. Come on brah, let loose.

[@Bucketheadland1]

Great video 👊💪

[@giscol]

I basically attempted to imitate Matt Cameron all the time playing in bands, even when I didn’t realise it. I love his playing and sound. Thanks for this video, a lot of MC’s parts are tricky to hear correctly! For me anyway....

[@redsoxtoni]

Brilliant! Thanks for this vid! Love Matt F**king Cameron!!

[@stephendanieldrums]

best video yet

[@muzzyb2012]

Great vid! Pleaseee do one on Jimmy Chamberlin? Arguably the best rock drummer of the 90's

[@user-ns9zu9px7x]

This is an old video, but I haven’t seen mentioned in the comments that Ben Shepard actually played drums on Head Down!

[@romanrozboril3299]

Thank you for the video. It was amazing. It was also great, drinking red wine and watching you, seeing what a piece of shit I am. I like how you explain how to play the drums

[@stacyplant9327]

Great video! You could’ve picked any three songs off the album, Matt plays everything on it like his life depends on it. Great choices/explanations though

[@DrummerJulian]

very cool and underrated grooves

[@AD-Dom]

Weird timing, just added black hole sun to my jamming tunes.

[@GringoLoco1980]

I never could get the hang of what Matt is doing on 'head down 3:05 minutes into the track when he goes to the bell of the ride.

[@augsdoggs]

Hell yeah! Matt was and is amazing.

[@tommyd1871]

The MIGHTY Matt Cameron.

[@shamusenright5387]

Great explanation. Thanks Nate.

[@conversacionesbaterapeuticas]

Matt is my favorite drummer

[@brewstergallery]

Hey Nate, Ned from Spain here, thanks so much for giving the great Matt Cameron some love. He has always played some really interesting, fluid and tasty drums, so musical. Have you ever heard his work with Hater or Wellwater Conspiracy ?? Here's a killer track called "Down Undershoe" from Hater's 1st album kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2WlnaiGdt14i7c , "Van Vanishing " from Wellwater's Brotherhood album and then " Dragonwyck " from their S/T kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYa2iWB4qaqejpI Hope you dig 'em. By the way how 'bout some Beefheart drummers or Minutemen's George Hurley ???

[@malinwj1167]

"Tribal" grooves from Cameron

[@mattbridges8908]

Soundgarden is so good. Pearl Jam is just the absolute worst. I'm so glad you went with the Soundgarden tracks.

[@deansheridan]

3!? There are more than that !

My prefered drum piece on this legendary album is Like Suicide

[@chadcarrdrums]

I hope like hell you sampled your snare tone from this recording.

[@pauldaskal9510]

Kickstand...you got loose and I threw up!!! MFC!

[@jeremymullins1294]

Not sure if you or anyone else mentioned this, but I believe HEAD DOWN began as a Ben Shepherd demo and Matt was trying to imitate Ben's sloppy playing!

[@muschrum2428]

You forgot about the beat halfway through the verse in the song superunknown

[@ronnmims7696]

Almost a trainwreck on spoonman

[@lecapitole5663]

All right seems like im the pheurst

11:30 sounds like What You Need by Bring Me The Horizon

Never really dug into Soundgarden, but this is some tasty stuff for sure!

[@Ryansilverman-r7g]

Soundgarden and Pearl Jam we’re twins not rivals

[@mistershoot]

Nice top 3 but how come "Just like Suicide" didn't end up number 1, just saying.

[@setitfree78]

This has to be joke......

[@nickzigas4183]

Great!!!! Next time Jesus Christ pose!!!😀😃

[@Larz1000000]

Awesome video as always, just one thing.. jesus I'm triggered by your strokes. I know Matt isn't playing a standard rock beat, but the way you hit the drums is so shallow, it removes the authority of beats. Try hitting more like Bonzo and less like JoJo Mayer.
