Matt is unreal. We are really witnessing something new here. Like the best fusion guy you can name (Weckl, Vinnie) but with all the db / metal stuff in his bag.
Am I crazy or am I hearing high hat hits when he is not hitting the high hat? I thought that there may be a trigger on the snare to signal a high hat sound but it just seems there is like a high hat track that is getting played. I know that is not the case but I am confused. Can you hear high-hat rhythms that he is not playing ( I am speaking specifically about the first song).
Matt is showing us total control on the music, the drum kit and whaterever imagination of 'in the moment' improvisation.. out of this world
Hands down best drummer to walk the earth.
holy hell.... they just keep getting better
Aging like fine fucking wine!!! For real this tour was amazing dream theater did an amazing job
out of all the insane shit matt plays I was most impressed with the groove at 17:11. So tasteful. Deeeeep in his bag
Matts a beast man, even tosin is watching him crush
I gotta hair this live, the sonics must be humblin
What a great show from everyone there! Never thought I’d be in a circle pit for a Dream Theater based show, but I’m glad I was! 🤘🔥
Very satisfied by this video.
Saw them in Cincinnati and yes, the seating in the "pit" area really put a dampen on the energy that the performance deserved
Amazing!
Thanks for the video!
Ugghhh Matt is ridiculous 🔥
🦾 Thanks for sharing! 🦾
Matt is the best drummer alive right now. I would have a hard time believing otherwise.
couldn't agree more, just saw them live a few days. Was in AWE

god bless denver!
Love this band saw em in Cleveland so sad about the guitar tech.
My favorite Band 🤟
His T-shirt screams out loud "Here have a invisible ice cream from the shadow realm, but watch out it's a bit spikey"
cafo is insane live lol
Animals as leaders is John's Petricci worst nightmare😂
Exactly! They are so much better. JP and DT are overrated IMO.
love the pit lol
Matt as Garstka 🙌❤️
Good lawd Gartska is a best.
Gordian Naught 9:10 WTAF! 🔥
Tosin as abasi 😂
Javier as reyes 😅
25:18 Not that "Matt Garstka" needed an introduction, but by golly if he isn't drummer in the world...ever...

i feel like youre confusing the small stack on his right for a hihat because i can see him play everything i hear
could be his 2 small stacks which he uses a lot on the first song or he could be splashing the hi hat with his left foot on the hi hat pedal
Garstka is the best drummer on the planet.
Whats the first song?
ectogenesis
WHAT THA F***??!!!!! 😮
what's the name of the song at the beginning?
it's raining men
Ectogenesis
Take on me
physical education
Ectogenesis bro
Ok, now tell me that Portnoy is the best drummer😂😂😂
Yup! Portnoy and DT are highly overrated.
Don’t dig their music but i appreciate the craftmanship.
Yeah I’m with you. I like their music sometimes. They’re amazing but sometimes listening to them feels like math homework.
I think Matt is more cool badass.
Mike Mangini hasn't been able to get out of Portnoy's shadow.
Mangini is a master who shines on his own
