The Walkmen 8/16/09 - Central Park Summerstage - This is a video of drummer Matt Barrick of the Walkmen absolutely killing it during the Rat. This is for you Jebber, benko
It's awesome! My favorite (actually pretty similar at the climax) drum track though has got to be Chris Bear on Fine For Now by Grizzly Bear. Nice backstage live video: ua-cam.com/video/1y_j5XB_Tu0/v-deo.html
Huh. I figured that during that break in the song's bridge, he'd have a pit crew come flying in to give him some Gatorade, a dry shirt, and a deep tissue massage.
This is just to help out some of the commenters. Killing it - slang expression that means that someone is doing very, very well. Ridiculous - slang expression that means extremely impressive or unbelievable.
god some people in this comment section are idiots, he doesnt mean ridiculous as in ridiculously bad, quite the opposite and the killing it can be likened to, shredding it, ripping it or smashing it. in other words, both are a compliment, he didnt post this video to make a joke of the drummer despite what some of you think.
its about time people notice how a great drummer matt is. he's sooo versatile cause in the later albums he is able to make an atmosphere that's soo crazy in its own way as well.
This drumming is truly magical. But I still think that Little House of Savages is even more astonishing...but I'd be splitting hairs. The point is that Matt is truly one hell of a talented musician.
i was there to see dinosaur jr. they headlined, but this band is kick ass... im glad i went and discovered these guys lol to top it off it was free, and in central park.. i

Always thought "The Rat" was the greatest drum recording of the 2000s
You'd be correct
Agreed.

some Bloc Party might contend that.. but very close ;D

Watching the drummer is my favorite part of going to see them in concert!
He reminds me A LOT of Joy Division's drummer.
from the very first time I heard this song I thought,"this drummer is a fucken legend"
I was there and can confirm that he did that on a very hot and humid NY afternoon. Incredible!
I, glad someone actually filmed the drummer. Best part of the song and a tour de force!
The band's drummer Matt Barrick is GOD.
GOD DAMN! What a great drummer!!!
What A drummer! Amazing
He needs to get so much more recognition 🔥
Incredible
Super drummer!!! Good job!
Off the fckg charts, cant think of another song where the drumming has added so much
He is amazing! I love the song. The studio recording is great. But this is soecial
This drumming is truly magical. But I still think that Little House of Savages is even more astonishing...but I'd be splitting hairs. The point is that Matt is truly one hell of a talented musician.

@luckypunkstar great drummer... people don't know what say.
The Walkmen was awesome as i see them live only 2 days ago when i see the Kings of leon at hyde park

A take it that's a crash cymbal and not a ride, otherwise I think his drum stick would have broken after the first chorus.
You spelled Ridiculous wrong hahahah
Yeah the drumming is epic
Seth Meyers can drum Holy Sh*t
Reminds me of Keith Moon

He's even better than the Bloc Party drummer.
