Permutation Loop - Matt Garstka

- I am offering a loop based on the permutation concept.
matt-garstka.myshopify.com/co...
By permutating or displacing a single rhythm 7 different times I ended up with 8 similar but slightly different rhythms. I then experimented with several different arrangements or orders of these rhythms and this is the order I found was most musical, effective, flowing/grooving and interesting. I then wrote a midi based loop to this permutation sequence so I could speed up and slow down at will. I have played to this many times at many different speeds and it was a great tool for organizing patterns and eventually spawning other patterns/variations off of those stock or original interpretations. After playing many times to these patterns I found I had greater control of the smaller details but lacked spontaneous inspiration. This is a phenomenon I often experience. It’s almost as if I’m too dialed into upholding the structure/order , cleanliness/execution and accuracy to see the bigger picture. When I have some space(days or weeks maybe even months) from these exercises, works or patterns and come back I often feel re-inspired and more free over the music. I’m not quite as accurate but this is a sacrifice I realized is worth making for my personal playing style. Maybe you’re different and tend to lean more towards spontaneity and could sacrifice some of that for a bit more order in your playing, but the point is that tools or obstacles like this can help us simultaneously become more conscious of who we are as artists/eople and develop what we can/will be.
I know the quality of this video is not remarkable but I thought the information was worth sharing:) Comment you dig this type of nerdy education if you would like me to post more like this. I also have some clips at 121 BPM & 130 BPM. When you purchase the loop on my site it will come with 5 different audio files(5 different speed), a PDF, as well as all the midi so you can import into Logic X(or whatever DAW you use) and have full freedom to change speeds.
Rumour has it, to this day those ghost notes are still haunting the studio.
Vheissu nice!!!
Thank you for this comment that was perfect haha
Distance is measured in meters
Time is measured in seconds
Force is measured in Newton’s
Rhythm is measured in gartskas
nah rhythm is measured in donatis (virgil donati for those who don't know)

Seriously man his timing is so on point.
The time signature is Matt/Garstka
Haha nice.
Great
ok play it
Otto Hess they just made a joke it was an unnecessary response. all good
Brain.exe has crashed
tell me about it
You def gotta post more bro
The larger his beard grows the more demonic his chops become
Or better, Heavenly :)
So that's how Petrucci's arms became THICC
Ha!
There's gotta be a correlation there!
with a little practice he might get as good as lars
711408 little do we know, that Lars actually practices and sounds like this when he’s by himself
hahahahhahahhhaahhahahahihhihihi
I hate loving you for this...
oof
you killed me dude.
mad skills - check
crazy pattern - check
slick hair - check
There's a flow between your ghost notes and right foot that is unique to your sound. It's almost like a slight swing or something to the notes between your hand and foot, but it's such a sick stylized aspect of your playing.
He mentioned at some of his clincs that practicing rudiments and patterns between his kick and his snare while keeping time with the right hand is more or less the secret behind his ghost notes.
yeah, but can you play seven nation army?
@ArizonaXR Bruh lol nothing wrong with going back to the most simple and basic beats. Don't be a douchebag drummer.
My goodness...the class and technique just blows me away every time I watch you play.
This is freaking amazing. It’s so clear the mastery you have over your drum set. Every drum is an extension of your limb, and performing a stroke is as simple as lifting a finger. Not to mention the crazy understanding of rhythm. It just blows me away
It goes without saying that we want to see more of this, thank you for being active and reaching out to the drum community with such positivity, Matt!
New favorite drummer confirmed. Man I LOVE the way he plays.
I wish I could manage my finances as well as he plays drums.'
Or do anything as well for that matter
The two are very similar, having a deep pocket helps ;) Thanks, I'm here all week!
"too dialed in on upholding structure/order". I needed to hear this. Thank you.
METAAAAALL MAAATTT (heavy breathing commences)
*benches drum throne*
Everybody complained the cymbals were too dry. Now what do you think?
I think AT LAST.
I like that sounds this way
The ride is a bit washy but definitely like the rest
Jeremy Dunbar Meinl cymbals can never be too dry, but Matt could play trash can lids and they’d sound fantastic so whatever
This is some next level stuff. I find myself saying this every time I come across a Matt Garstka video though.
Although I rarely ever know what you're doing on the drums, you're more relatable now with the beard.
Absolutely amazing! 👍
Dark and funky 😎🤘
Everything you play is gold man, thank you for the inspiration 🙏
Would like to see more of this definitely. That was real nice. What you wrote in the description was cool to me personally too. Great video👌🏽
Monumentally brilliant, incredible work
Matt is the modern Bill Bruford. Love your drumming man!!
new year I swear I'll have time and I will buy your entire website ! Thank you for poviding us such high level lessons !
Thank you for sharing Matt , i love syncope pattern , tons of idea !
Love this video, and the insight you provide in the description. I definitely have a ton of spontaneousness in my playing and need a bit more order to round myself out.
hard work! you´re killing it!
Its fantastic!👌yes please do more💯👍
You are a different breed man. Much respect
I'm looped now. My head hurts! Awesome Matt
I don't even know what that means :( my drumming skills have left the chat
Same boat, bröther
Basically you take one pattern (this one starts out with a dotted quarter note, quarter note, dotted quarter note, a 3+2+3 pattern with the electric bass and bass drum) and shift it by a single beat every two measures. The entire time you're doing this you keep the snare predominantly on the same beat(s), be it 2 and 4 of each bar, or beat 1 of every other bar, or any other consistent pattern.
sihplak so it’s [3-2-3|3-2-3-2|3-2-3|3-2-3-2]? or [3-2-3|3-2-1|3-2-3|3-2-1]? It doesn’t seem to line up either way.
The simplest way I can think of to explain permutating drum patterns:
The _pattern_ that you are playing *stays consistent,* but the _beats_ that you play it on *change.*
Think of it like, where the parentheses are, that's the 1 of the next measure.....123(4)12(3)41(2)34(1)234 and so on so forth. Try it with a metronome, I can't really explain it with text haha accent the beat where the next measure would start. It sounds really cool on a kit against a metronome, blows my mind every time I try it. You can move where and at what beat it will move to the next measure.
Yes! More! Every new piece of material from you is like Christmas all over again! 😀
I dig this type of nerdy education
Matt!!! Next level!!! Great music i only knew one other guy doing something like this. It was years ago. Love it and its super cool and musical.
I thoroughly enjoy watching your rehearsals/techniques in a raw video as such! Very beneficial and gives us lots to explore ourselves. Thank you, Matt!
As always, kick-ass and inspiring!
I would love more awesome educational content such as this! Thank you, and wonderful job.
Matt! Matt for president!
Id love to see your other performances of this. you have inspired me a lot and Id love to know if you had times When drums seemed really hard, making progress i mean. Times When you didnt have that much fun on the instrument. Im going through that feeling and it's a pain the ass.
Just take a couple of days off, it happens to all creative people. At some point you will get stuck a little and get frustrated. After those days you are gonna find the joy of playing again.
This is a tough one. Max is right that taking a day or two off can be helpful in reinvigorating you but I personally didn't do this for a long time. I always wanted to work through those lulls and stay on the path to mastery. I think taking a day off here and there is a dangerous train of thought because it promotes incremental lack of discipline. I like to use the times when I'm not inspired to work on methodical, technical, foundational materials and save the fun stuff for when I'm ready to have some fun! I say use the day off mentality very sparingly and make sure you capitalize on that time you're taking away from your practice.
@@drummusician thank you for your developped answer Matt, keep on keeping on!!
@@drummusician taking a day or two off won't hurt you at all. Your obsessed to the point of madness dude.
@@notaliberalfromcali6245 that's what it takes. Look up stuff about Colaiuta. He was and is always drumming. That the ways you go the step beyond. Putting in hours and hours.
definitely such a valuable insight in the video description! That made me subscribe :)
This is dope and I would love to see more of it!!
This is an amazing tool, this is what my playing needs.
I dig this sort of material- something that mere mortals can play by starting in Amazing Slow Downer and speeding up as needed. It's really cool how much my own playing has improved since attempting some of Matt's grooves and exercises. Worth every penny. Thanks again, Matt!
Seriously dig it all, brother...and thank you for your shared words, I really needed to hear this today. This really resonates deeply with me. Thank you, bro!
🎶💓🎶
Really dig this. More! :)
You are one of my favorite drummers..
Lets see more of this. Awesome to watch.
Damn... That's really impressive! And really interesting what you wrote about how these type of tools helps us become more conscious about who we are. It's like when I practice septuplets, quintuplets or loops in odd time signatures I sometimes feel like I find my own voice on the kit more and more. I would love to see more stuff like this!
I appreciate this upload. Hope to see more like this in the future. \m/
Please do more of these lessons/midis!! They are invaluable and I'll buy them every time!n
Definitely need more of this 🤘🏿
This young man is incredible!
That's some kinda,funky groove. Well done!
Great video. It's encouraging to see that even at the highest levels, there are shared principles of creative (especially musical) exploration (repetition, slight variation, and eventually spontaneity) that still hold their usefulness.
Omg his kit sounds so good
Totally appreciate that you displayed chops in slow form (in a sense) and left those sixteenth note triplets till the very end. Style and discipline.
When you switch to the ride and your right arm just hangs for a minute was pretty rad. You're absolutely one of the best drummers out there today.
My favorite drummer!!!
Great video Matt, there's something really meditative about hearing slight variations on the same groove for a long time.
I have the exact opposite problem as you Matt. Your structure and precision is that of the most impressive I've ever seen. I wish I had the discipline to hone in on that as effectively as possible and stray away from spontaneity in my playing style. Amazing performance, as usual!
I think it’d be great to see more of these concepts for helping build better structure and order in rhythmic patterns. I’ve listened to this video over and over. I often overthink when trying to put fills together and feel as if I don’t have enough spontaneity in my drumming
Its fantastic education. Your vids always inspire creativity. Your tightness always inspires envy haha
Please please post more of these!
i watched this twice and got chills both times
Wow this is nuts
This is the work of a mad scientist! Aka Matt Garstka the GOAT 🐐❤️🤟🏼
Garstka lives in the Inbetween: the place between the beats: a place of legend and multiple dimensions. He is the medium by which the rest of us can only glimpse the Inbetween.
PurpleGlobe ok sure I guess uuuummm yeah I see it now
Wow! That's why I love drumming!
thanks for sharing!
Post more, this is great!
I love how this is just him practicing but it sounds fucking sick!
That description MAKES the video dude. Can almost see you working it out while you're playing
LOVE THIS MAN
I love this kind of innovative practice.
Definitely really like when one puts time into developing an exercise to incorporate into repertoire!
-Elijah
Crazy good Matt. Cleaner than soap.
Syncopation guru, holy hell with those change ups.
Heck yes more like this pls!
Um hell yes I dig this content! And I think I can safely speak for any drummer interested in upping their chops. Or, if they're already at this elite level, simply enjoying the spectacle of your playing. Keep on killin' it man!
7 people are at this level
Hell yeah!! Keep it comin'!
Crazy bro, definitely post more of this nerdy stuff🔥🔥
I definitely dig this type of nerdy education stuff and would love more.
Good stuff !
cool stuff love it!!
A new definition of Polyrhythm has been updated.
Sooooo good. Got those hats coming today too :) :)
Grande Matt !!!
Awesome
So. Freaking. EPIC!
You look like if Ricky Gervais got really into drumming. No hatin though, it’s a good look for you.
He had a song make the charts in the UK in the 80's. I imagine he has at least sat behind a kit and tried to bash something out already.... Gervais I mean ;)
groovy stuff, man
defo would listen to this if it was on spotify
I used to play that as an opening exercise when didn't want to play something difficult - great starting stuff for rookies:)
Legend.
Dude looks crazy but knows exactly what he's doing. Love it.
he does but i don´t
@@ma-shina Me neither.
You’re amazing
Nice stuff to listen. Better way to practice
It's so refreshing to see you struggle to hold a groove, but I can tell you're REALLY enjoying it. Moving a bit like Robert Sput Searight here, lol.
I`m a simple man, i see Matt i press like.
