Great video! I didn’t not understand the brand he uses to lock the tuning of his different drums. Thanks for help! Kudos again for your videos!

I always use a Heavyweight Dry on my Pearl Reference Brass snare drum

Great rundown!! He knows that snare stands are adjustable right?!?😆 Just kidding but it was odd that he said that 6 1/2” drums “sit too high for most snare stands” but didn’t really expound on that too much. 6 1/2s are probably the most popular size for rock especially. 🤘🏽

I’ve been noticing a lot just a random observation artist that play meinl always have such a wide assortment of byzance cymbls Whether it’s traditional /extra hammered/ polyphonic/ even jazz crashes. And always all kinds of different high hats. But when it comes to Zildjian it always seems to just be custom A not much variety at all. Is custom A that good or is there just not enough variety?

I find it very interesting that any rock professional drama for the most part if they play zildjian it’s always custom A. NOT MUCH VARIETY COMPARED TO MEINL artists. That play byzance series. From traditional/brilliance / polyphonic/ dual and that’s just a few nobody with zildjian seems to mix it up

Dw. Black nickel over brass The worlds best snare drum Imo❤

He’s spot on about the meinl extra thin hammered crashes. I have a 20” one and it’s the perfect sounding crash.

🤘🤘🤘

Some say over time his deep V got less and less deep the harder he grooves

Bro, you look like Jeff Grosso of Van's love letter to skateboards hahaha! Peace, I love your channel!

probably a 22" diameter not circumference- hahaha.

PEARL OR NOTHING BABY!

I've heard isolated drums and plenty of drum boosted videos of Periphery songs, but it feels weird to see him just jamming on his own. It feels more human seeing him playing like that instead of him in the huge mix that is Periphery

Great to hear a shoutout to Anthony G here. Those two brothers are wild.

Matt Halpern is one of the tastiest drummers on the scene. I use his signature snare drum and it’s got to be the best snare drum, hands down. Thanks Drum Rundown and of course Matt Halpern for this showcasing is drum set up.

Definitely could use some work on the audio end IMO curious what the mic setup is but it sounds very minimal. I think the OH placement is getting more cymbals than anything. I think a stereo pair or single condenser a few feet in front of the kit will get a more balanced drum sound IMO . Bottom line though, way too much cymbals, way too low drum volume. Just trying to help. Thanks for the content!

Always love nerdy drum talk with Matt! Great rundown guys! ❤

“…… a lot of drummers will break these…………” Best advice of the whole fucking video……

Great interview. Well done.

Great interview with a legendary drummer. question though, why is he acting like drum frequencies are some secret knowledge? Tune-Bot has an entire website dedicated to the mathematics of tuning your drums. There are also a couple of good books dedicated to the topic.

Damn, Matt, I almost thought you were gonna add some _significant_ double kick 🙄😂😂 ...I love that stack, though....

Which cams he using on those redlines? I’m currently using the reds and love them.

Glad y’all got the audio figured out

Hi hats: I copied a favorite drummer of mine, Paul Mabury. (Top) 16” K thin dark (btm) 16” A custom projection. They sound so clean. Check his stuff out. He uses those hi hats on 90% of his stuff.

LFG

You can really tell he has OCD with his drums/sound just by listening to how detailed he explains why each piece exists in his setup and how he wants/needs them to function. At the same time, the way he explains it isn't too technical, so his explanations easily make sense. Following him and Nolly greatly influenced how I treat my drum setup.

Geez, I didn’t realize Matt was using 2Bs on his cymbals. I’m shocked because as he mentioned, some of those cymbals in his set-up are thin. Also, as a proud owner of the double-down stack, I’d like to add that the 17” crash is a great-sounding individual cymbal. I’m not a big fan of the 18” China when it’s outside of the stack. This mainly goes back to Matt’s point that the 20” traditional China is really the sweet spot from Meinl’s catalog of Chinas. Great video.

If the hardcore band's drummer looks like this, you're about to d1e on that mosh pit...

Matt is my absolute favorite drummer to listen to. His creativity and groove make his parts sound so unique and fun to me. Great to see him on here and great video!

One of my favorite drummers, picked up his Pearl signature snare a few months ago and it's incredible. I like to switch out my snare here and there to mix it up but I've been consistently playing it every time I play since I got it.

you guys gotta get a better sound engineer for this channels, drums sound weak all the time, your doing a disservice to the amazing people!

I was waiting for this episode

Sound is so much better than usual, great!

Those floor toms sound amazing

so glad to see Matt on here!

How to get the best drum sound: Have Nolly mix your drums. I see his custom bell experiment didn't last long either.

This is the best drum rundown. Very thorough & insightful!

i suppose my petition was approved?

Yall should do a vid on Jake Goss from LANY. I know their music isn’t heavier by any means but Jake low key has chops. His kits are super sick as well. DW and some Franklin stuff. The electronic elements also play a role too in his drumming

Nice DFA shirt 😁👌🏻

Audio is so much better on this one 🫶🏻 great stuff

the UV2’s are no joke in terms of durability

I think Matt sounded better on the Mapex kits IMO.........I haven,t really heard Pearl drums that I like.........the Reference kits sound really boxy....again....my opinion

Great to hear someone say they don't need to change the heads a lot. I always think it's ridiculous when techs change out heads every show. Also nice to hear him talk about playing and mounting cymbals correctly to prevent breaks.

Petition for Matt Halpern on the drum rundown 👀

Awesome video and interview!

I’ve seen this guy a few times in the past and he is definitely a beast on stage.
