Sign of a great drummer is when they show restraint and let the song shine on its own and just highlight specific parts of it with true brilliance. You rule Matt, genius drummer 🤘🏻🤓🤘🏻
Awesome playing Matt ! Perhaps my favorite track from The puppet master along with The ritual. You're double bass patterns and fills really brought this song to life
The Puppet Master is such an awesome album! Man, I wish it would be made into a full length movie! Killer playthrough Matt! This makes me want to cover this on my channel now lol 🤘🥁
Matt Thompson is a Musical Anomaly and the Best Drummer that King Diamond has ever had!! The Dude can Sling some Heavy Lumber!! I find myself coming back to this Channel time and time again just to watch this Human Metronome in action!! 🤘🏻
This video shows how important a grooving drummer is for a song! Matt is important for KD in the same way that Scott Travis is for Judas Priest. Awesome job, Matt!
I love this album. It might be my favorite KD album (blasphemous I know). I just love Matt's drumming style. The story is great and every song is unskippable. I sure hope we haven't listened to our last KD album.
One of my favourite KD albums. I saw the Puppet Master tour at the Electric Ballroom, London. One of the best and most atmospheric gigs I've ever been to. I'd love to hear more Puppet Master tracks live on the next KD tour. Great drumming Matt!!
Finally on UA-cam! I even thought thought I was dreaming when I watched it on instagram... been searching on YT and could'nt find it. One of my favorite KD songs!! Thanks Matt!
King sent me here but I didn't really need to be told. Great job, Matt! I see you have the 18" Wild Crash, love to see it work so well in your songs. I could never really get it to fit in.
Damn Matt, i watch this at least weekly and love it every time. Let me ask you, i noticed the Remo logos on your toms weren't centered at the top point of each tom, but rather seemed haphazardily placed. Maybe its my OCD, but is this becasue you probably change your heads so often you don't care or is there any particular reason? I know when i play i need to have my logos all facing the same way, must be my OCD, but curious as to whether or not this has any bearing on you.
Great song choice for play through 👍 now if we could only get you to play through robotix, gunned down, blood drops on the page or anything else from the "Surgeon" era
Matt was watching your show at the Fillmore and got to say , playing these songs got to be stressful . As I love it all but as a fellow drummer . So many odd times and fils that have too land on time as the bands follows you. Does it stress you out at times. I know if I was playing I would probably be.
@chris stephens it is an old record. Back then stuff sounded different … for smaller bands. I like the sound of Them for what it is. “Voodoo” & “House of God” had modern, powerful but rather natural sound. “Give me your soul” & “Puppet Master” sound … fake, and without punch.
Hey Matt, Cool playthrough. Sorry if i hijacked that other question of the guy regarding Snowy's playing. But i am 100% that was the answer given when that question was brought up before. If you have the time please check out my crazy music i've posted lately. One a Swedish Joke audition song for dare i say it, one of Swedens biggest pop producers at the time, did a joke black metal corona song ;) and the other the latest a fullblown heavy metal symphony hell march fest, which is the best metal mix i've done so far. Loved how the lowend turned out, quite proud of that one, and the solos and stuff. Rock on
Matt has had full control ever since he joined King Diamond in 2000. I just wished King would let Matt show all that he got. I mean, he plays all the old stuff live without problems. Why not let him play around more in the new albums. It feels a bit too simple when you've got a drummer liker Matt. Matt can do so much more! I hope King will let Matt play around some more, not so controlled as on the previous albums. Look to Abigail and Them, the drums are all over the place, and Matt can do that + more! Drums is a vital part of a band, let them be vital on The Institute!
Hello Matt! We have been arguing for many years, you probably know how it really was) On the King Dimond - The Eye album, Snowy Shaw plays drums himself or is there a drum machine recorded there ?!) If it does not bother you, please clarify the situation!) Thank!)
I recall reading he played on drumpads, sorta like playing on a e-kit in the modern era. If it was Snowy or Andy that said it, i don't remember unfortunaly. So it's electronic drum samples obviously, aka a drum sampler. Not a drum machine. Hope that helps to clarify.

Exactly, like at the 3 minute mark, when most would have added a big fill, he just tastefully goes back into the main groove ~
Awesome playing Matt ! Perhaps my favorite track from The puppet master along with The ritual. You're double bass patterns and fills really brought this song to life

A favorite track of mine from The Puppet Master, and your drumming is a very, very big part of that. Thanks, Matt!
This video shows how important a grooving drummer is for a song! Matt is important for KD in the same way that Scott Travis is for Judas Priest. Awesome job, Matt!
Hey there Hayden and Morgan I will always love you both

This might be the most beautiful song in heavy metal.
I can't wait for the rest of The Institute.
One of my favourite KD albums. I saw the Puppet Master tour at the Electric Ballroom, London. One of the best and most atmospheric gigs I've ever been to. I'd love to hear more Puppet Master tracks live on the next KD tour. Great drumming Matt!!

Thanks Alex 🤘🏻🤘🏻
@chris stephens It´s also one of my favorite too but it´s a little bit underrated!
@@mattthompsondrums By the way, this video is during the recording of the album?
@@alexhenriquerodrigues67 No, I did this video about a year ago.
@@mattthompsondrums very very nice! Thanks for the answers! I am a big fan of you! Best wishes from Brazil
Its that you, Matt! 👍
00:24 👍🤘

Wow brings me back. How does the time fly?
What am I, a scientist?

Fuckin amazing
Damn Matt, i watch this at least weekly and love it every time.

I know when i play i need to have my logos all facing the same way, must be my OCD, but curious as to whether or not this has any bearing on you.
Hey Dan, thanks for watching, the reason is that I don’t really care which way the logo is facing!
check out those Rudes!
Great song choice for play through 👍 now if we could only get you to play through robotix, gunned down, blood drops on the page or anything else from the "Surgeon" era

@@mercyfaten01 nah :)
Hey Matt how deep is the 13” rack
Tom?
I’ll have to measure it, I forget!
13”. (13 x 13).
@@mattthompsondrums no wonder it sounds like a small floor tom
Sounds better than the actual record...somehow the production of the last two albums is weird...

Oleg, I’ve heard some things regarding that, but I don’t know for sure actually and I don’t want to give the wrong info. Have you tried asking Snowy?

Thank! I then de tend to Snowy playing drums himself)
King diamond is such power metal band; why people classsify him as BM?
I agree...maybe it’s because the face paint 🤷🏼♂️
dislike put some bass player for sure.
Gene Simon...this is a drum video. Ask Hal, he played on it, or Pontus, he takes requests. 🙃
Awesome!
