I know, right? Absolutely phenomenal drummer. Rare occasions to admit, but yeah, he may just be the best drummer on the face of the planet. I find it very personal that these are his favorite moments from the shows he had. Must be a lovely guy.
Literally the only "mistake" I've ever seen Matt do EVER is at 9:41 when he hits the drum mic. Finally something to disprove my theory that he's an inter-dimensional being here to show us that our definition of time is an illusion. Glad to finally be able to see he's human!
I am inspired and completely dumbfounded. Next level is an understatement. Maybe next level x 2 or 3. Matt is special. He is the future of drumming. Hopefully pc won't make this obsolete; a lost art form.
@@joeyhathaway8447 yeah he's definitely tapped into that "thing" that makes great songwriters, performers, etc. It's that deeper level and it really is mystifying.
Matt, every video I watch of you you creep closer to my favorite drummer. Not that it's a competition, and please stay humble! That's one of your best qualities, you're insanely talented but you don't have to act like it, because you show it constantly in videos like these. Keep it up dude, I hope I can meet you in NY at the Summerslaughter tour! For real, it would be so awesome to meet all of you. P.S. Your cymbal selection is amazing. You turned me on to dry chinas.
Holy shhit ! The orchestration of drums has just been demonstrated to the highest level.Matt has set the bar with his devastating attack just so awesome dude
True, with Tosin inventing techniques and pushing the boundaries of guitar. But on top of that, his mastermind is also in charge of creating the extremely syncopated and polyrhythmic drum parts, some of which even their previous drummer said were "almost impossible" to play.
Their ex drummer Navene K is also a hell of a piece.. He played on the album "Weightless". It´s gonna be fun to see what Matt is gonna put in to the next album! AAL ftw!
Have the people here who are complaining about him "over playing" even heard AAL stuff before? There's solos and fills all over the place... He isn't over playing.
hey matt. do you think you would be where you are today if it wasnt for the berklee school of music? ive seen all your vids and then some and it seems like you've progressed BIG TIME over the last few years. is it just from practice or do you feel like it has a lot to do with the insturction you have had?
I truly fear Matt 'cause I think that in a few more years He'll be a drum god. if he learns left foot clave and doubles with the feet like Thomas Lang Good... No one and I mean No one will overpass him. xD. Best of luck to you Matt. You truly are one of the most amazing person in this world
If he learns? haha he knows left foot clave from working with afrocuban and latin beats and his double bass skills are apparent in a lot of the songs he plays.
@MetallicOpeth no no no, you're missing the point so much! This band has so much free form, hes having fun you can overplay. The guitarists do, Matt just goes along. Watch the Mars Volta youll understand.
@cybanen i gotta disagree with you. The drumming is equally hard as the picking, 1. Keeping both guitarists in time as his job, drummers arnt just paying attention to their insrument(a good one at least) will be watching and listening to everything. 2. the drums ARE WAY more physically demanding. Both are equally as difficult
Possibly the best drummer on the face of the planet.

This comment is aging beautifully!
@@ZitkyAdamscontinues to be the best drummer ever
I love these older videos. The energy was so raw fresh on the gig!
DUDE! You just destroy everything! By far my favorite drummer of all time. Groove central!
I think the addition of Garstka further immortalizes AAL as one of the greatest trio bands of the next 40,000 years.

6:39 gave me a groovegasm
The same dude !
And me.... sick
@@marcio1745 Yeah insane. That one stood out to me as well
5:43... HOW? One of the hardest fills in my opinion that has been programmed for animals. Outstanding job. One of my biggest inspirations!!
Matt's drumming puts tears to my eyes. Can I just sit next to him and watch him play every show?

Putting the other half together is a must this is awesome!
4:57 those fills are so clean and well placed ftw
Of the seven years I've been playing, this may be the most impressive performance I've seen...

Was hoping to hear the craziness you did at the end of CAFO in Cincinatti in this! Ah well, fucking love your drumming, Matt!
Matt you just blow my mind. I FUCKING LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
True, with Tosin inventing techniques and pushing the boundaries of guitar. But on top of that, his mastermind is also in charge of creating the extremely syncopated and polyrhythmic drum parts, some of which even their previous drummer said were "almost impossible" to play.
sooooo dope
this tour comp is da shizzle
Man... Wow! Just... Wow!
Nothing to say, just... Let's pratice!!!
All I want for Christmas is a re-wright of the first 2 albums with garstka on it. And of course the new album :)
straight up beast
Put up another version of you playig Weightless! The full song video of you playing it is magical.
You are simply Godlike .
We will never see another AAL drum cover as long as Matt writes with them...
-_______-Matt slays everytime
Their ex drummer Navene K is also a hell of a piece.. He played on the album "Weightless". It´s gonna be fun to see what Matt is gonna put in to the next album!
AAL ftw!
BEAST!!
I can only hope to age as well as this video will continue to
You're insane, man!
perfection..
6:38 made me sick, so insane !
Yes sir!!!
Yes yes I agree much with this video.
So when are you releasing a DVD?
Seriously, all that vocabulary and fluidity behind the drums...
I would buy the shit out of that DVD.
NICE!!!!
Have the people here who are complaining about him "over playing" even heard AAL stuff before? There's solos and fills all over the place... He isn't over playing.
hey matt. do you think you would be where you are today if it wasnt for the berklee school of music?
ive seen all your vids and then some and it seems like you've progressed BIG TIME over the last few years. is it just from practice or do you feel like it has a lot to do with the insturction you have had?
Matt great shit...are u ever in New Jersey maybe give a paid side lesson? if your ever in the area? Great job at Best Buy Theater in NYC btw...redic
Damn dude! You are pure rhythm stuck in a human body.
What camera did you use for this stuff Matt? And as always some of the best drumming I've ever seen in my life. Such an inspiration dude.
Hey Matt, sick playing dude, I was at your bangalore (India) gig recently what sticks do you use?
What a monster.
NK is amazing but so are u! Will u ever re-record the drums for the first two AAL albums?
I truly fear Matt 'cause I think that in a few more years He'll be a drum god. if he learns left foot clave and doubles with the feet like Thomas Lang Good... No one and I mean No one will overpass him. xD. Best of luck to you Matt. You truly are one of the most amazing person in this world
If he learns? haha he knows left foot clave from working with afrocuban and latin beats and his double bass skills are apparent in a lot of the songs he plays.
Awesome man! I watched the whole 15 minutes! I have footage from you here in monterrey mexico, do you want me to upload it?
yes, it starts at @2:27
I would have bet money you would've ended it with the outro to Weighless and the live outro you've been doing to CAFO.
What a fucking god.
Beginnin church chops to rock
that china is making me soo thristy
1:54 , quel groove, quel monstre!!!
Matt, please do a drum dvd! :)
this is a DRUMMER
@MetallicOpeth no no no, you're missing the point so much! This band has so much free form, hes having fun you can overplay. The guitarists do, Matt just goes along. Watch the Mars Volta youll understand.
Matt you should've shown Thoroughly at Home !
woww
It was Navene Koperweis!

Haha he seemed angry when playing wave of babies.
Matt what was it like to meet Meshuggah?
Wave of Babies aka Death of Meinls
Jessuuusss!!!! save me!! 2:30 OMG!!!
The groove at 6:39.. fuuck.
you're gonna have to do one hell of a job explaining how that works.
wow
are there plans for a new record?
These days you have to put (tongue in cheek), just like that after EVERYTHING. The internet ruined peoples sense of humour apparently.
Where Toronto Mr. Matt??????????
was he the drummer for Javier Reyes's project: Mestis?
2:50 - holy shit
Would that bass track be the drum foldback?
@6:23 my favorite
That groove at 6:40 O.o
did you listen to metal prior to AAL?
God mode utill the end
Probably Troy Wright
Math!
