Matt Greiner... never heard of this machine until I saw this. What a drummer.

[@brnby8984]

DO NOT STOP THIS SERIES!!!! Insane production quality, genre-bending performances, and the opportunity to learn about musicians I'd otherwise never know

[@martinondrums]

Came for the drummer, left googling the bass player.

[@augustburnsred]

We can’t wait for this! Wooohooooo!

[@simoncrawley1152]

I think my favorite part of that whole thing is that Matt was smiling the entire time during his performance

[@colechristensen588]

Has anyone else listened to this 25 times??? 😍

[@RobCartwright]

What an awesome, humble dude, and a killer drummer. It's cool that they brought in a metal guy among a group that's mostly filled with jazz and R&B guys too.

[@theodorecjones7768]

Alright when is Matt gonna start his Prog Ska side project?

[@MikeEhmannDrums]

That bass solo was a real treat.

[@grasabalagbag]

The mix is crazy. Sax, Strats, synths, and Matt. It's like a new genre.

[@samsaw11]

Can attest to how incredible, humble and inspirational Matt Greiner is.

Ghost Note playing Metal

[@stephendavenport316]

Seeing a metal drummer in this context.. makes me so happy. I love metal, but also music like Snarky Puppy. To see Matt play with sax players etc. with these orchestrations is just awesome.

[@rogersat]

The writing and arranging Sput, Lettieri, and others are doing for this is really unbelievable. There needs to be some sort of recognition for this. Dudes are creating new genres on the fly. And the execution by the band too.

[@Richardhaitz]

Unreal. Metal drumming with that orchestration. Phenomenal.

[@squirtreynolds2853]

There is nothing in this world that brings people together more than this.

[@Drummerman02]

Zildjian keeping us alive through these times. Thank you

[@wanlongsanmarboh4717]

What's good about this video is the people. Scrolling through the comment section I realised its not just ABR fans in the house, but a good number of people who have never heard of Matt Greiner until this session. I'm am so proud of you Matt. You deserved this!!!!

[@AgentBokChoy619PS4]

The musicianship in this is unbelievably insane, the happiest energy I've ever felt.

[@nobodyknowsrhys]

Matt has truly become one of the legendary greats in the metal drumming scene. I love that he got to show a little bit of a different side than what he showcases in August Burns Red. Dude is a machine, and truly a class act if you ever get the chance to meet him.
