Appreciate you!
Matt, it was such a pleasant surprise to see you at this performance!
I'm so overwhelmed with noticing you with ABR almost 11 years ago. Keep inspiring people as you do, and thank you for this experience at Zildjian Live.
You’re the goat. Saw you guys in charlotte years ago at tremont
How did I miss this comment!?
PINNED
Thanks for the motivation Matt!
Here’s a short story for everyone…I’ve been to five ABR shows, three of which were VIP passes. I’m going to see them again in October and it’ll be another VIP. The second time I had a pass was in Chico Ca for the Leveler tour. I took my son with me, also VIP. When we got there, they were handing out the passes. I noticed mine had a little star sticker on the back. My son’s did too. We thought it was odd, but we just got in line to do the meet and greet.
Before the band came out, the head security guy told us that the band decided to do something different, so there were four passes with stars on them. Those four pass holders would get to go on the tour bus for an additional 15 minutes with the band after the meet and greet. My son and I, along with the other two people, got to hang out on the bus with the band. Adam Gray (Texas in July drummer) was on the bus with them. It was so amazing! When the band found out that both my son and I got the stars, Jake asked what would have happened if I got the star and my son didn’t. I told him I would have given my pass to my son.
Here’s the craziest part to my short story…when I saw them for their Constellations 10 year anniversary tour, I had a VIP pass too. During the meet and greet, I told Matt how awesome the Leveler show in Chico was, and getting to hang out on their bus with my son was epic. Matt asked if I could wait to the side before I got my Constellations book they were giving to the pass holders. Once the meet and greet was done, Matt had the rest of the band come over and told them I was the dad who would have given my pass to my son for the tour bus if I got the pass with the star and he didn’t. The entire band remembered our names, and this was years later!
That’s why I continue to support ABR. I have all three livestream shows they did during lockdown…Thrill Seeker, Christmas Burns Red, and Leveler 10 year anniversary. They care about their fans, and will go out of their way to talk to the ones who are truly hurting in life.
Edit: because it started looking like a drinking game, I took out a few “VIP”
Edit #2: Just saw them in Boise. Matt and Jake both recognized me during the meet and greet. These guys are amazing!!!
That is absolutely fantastic!
What a discovery (for me). After hearing all the hype... holding off and then finally seeing Matt destroy a drum kit.
Unreal!
Matt Greiner is an insanely good drummer and apparently he's a really nice and generous dude as well.
He came across very humble and down to earth
I've met him at the HOB in Chicago at one of their shows...him and all of ABR are the most down to earth dudes you'll ever meet. Super nice guys
Can confirm both. Dude is a beast of a drummer and a great guy
@@AndrewRooneyDrums everyone from August Burns Red are very down to earth. When you read lyrics to their songs you see they are positive. Matt is amazing drummer and person.. His posture is a band teacher's dream.
When they came to Portugal me amd my friend were waiting to try and meet the band before the show just to tell how we've listened to them since 2008 (they came in 2018 I think). We crossed them on their way to dinner. The singer respectfully told us they were off a big trip and hungry and had to stick to schedule. As they walked away, Matt just smiled and told us hi and "nice to meet you guys". We were on the front row giving our all on the show and at the end, Matt came to the audience, gave me one of his drumsticks, thanked me and threw the other to the crowd. Ended up giving the set list to my friend as well. Super nice guy
I’ve been blessed to know Matt Greiner as a friend. He’s one of the most humble person I’ve ever met. I ask Matt after a touring break several years ago why he worked for a landscaper during his break. Matt said , It reminds me where I came from. He’s the real deal. 💖🥁🥰
Love it Jim! 🙌
I absolutely loved that tune. The metal/ jazzy mix with the horns and the bass solo. WOW. What a cool piece of music, loved it.
I freaking love this whole series from Zildjian Live Douglas!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums I thank you for responding to my comment. I love your channel. As a drummer myself, I have a wide range of inspiration. And, I am going to throw a request at you. Chris Coleman, 2017 meinl festival. Song is, Gaia. I think you'll dig it. Thanks again for doing what you do.
@@douglascoss3702 Thanks for watching bro!
More Matt! More Matt! More Matt!
“The Eleventh Hour” live drum video is insane. Play through of “Compsure” is also a gem.
Coming up Tyler!
i´ve met and talked to Matt Greiner twice in Stockholm (Sweden) at August Burns Red shows .. He always goes down to the last ones standing at the barricade in the crowd who havent left after the show . Its not the usual "Hi thanks". We had full conversations both times. He is an extraordinary drummer and a very humble and kind man aswell!
Amazing
This is a pretty great representation of Matt’s style of playing. He really showcased all of his nuances here.
Great Steven!
The Zildijan Live band is Ghost Note. Some of the members are from Snarky Puppy. The music is fusion jazz just kicked up a notch
Yes!
Man, when those sax’s come in ... ugh, smooth as butter and so so good
Yes Colin!
I still find it hilarious that Sput and Lettieri, of all people, composed, wrote, and arranged this song. It's SO far outside their usual wheelhouse, but DAMN does it work.
the joy he displays playing is what i like most. hes in the moment.
Greiner is one of the nicest guys I have ever met in the industry… I helped him pack up his kit one night after a show and he signed a set of sticks and gave them to me for helping him as a fellow drummer… we hung out for about 20 minutes afterward before they had to hit the road… he is as good as Halpern… I just felt weird cause all my favorite drummers are named Matt lol… Halpern, Grenier, and McDonough(from Mudvayne)… 🍻🤘🏻
HA! Awesome Cory :)
Great picks for favs 🤘🏼
And that bass player was killing it great job
100% Jeremy
Da gibt es nichts zu verbessern. Einfach beeindruckend. LG aus Koblenz Christoph 🎩 🎩 🎩 🎩 🎩
I just got home from my gig. It’s 2am here in NZ. Don’t normally watch my videos after they go live 😂😂😂🤦🏼
Man I’m cringe. Sorry dudes. Don’t have to subscribe if you don’t want to... 🤦🏼
@@AndrewRooneyDrums 2 things. 1) Lancaster PA is very rural- essentially farm country. 2) I am subscribed but a question- if we watch it, does it matter if we are subscribed or not?
@@AndrewRooneyDrums That's not "Snarky Puppy" that Matt was sitting in with, that was the band "Ghost Note".
@@TwoandaHater Good question!
Yeah it does. It helps grow the channel as it's seen as enjoyed if people subscribe. Therefore YT help me by promoting me a bit more.
Of course, no pressure. I still love you if not subscribed :)
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Your too hard on yourself. Tell them to subscribe, pound it in! I find you both entertaining and somewhat relaxing. Hi from California.
Matt is the first drummer I started paying attention to, my first inspiration. He's a monster and plays so very technical with power and ease at the same time. One of the best shows I've been to was his band August Burns Red. He plays 100% perfect everytime. He is one of the greats.
and he has the same love affair with the china symbol that I have... actually, I bet I learned my love for the china from absorbing all his play haha
@@Quake18 when they recorded constellations, they livestreamed it and matt did a qna. i asked how many chinas he's gone through. without a kick he said: "like all time or just today?" he couldn't give an all time answer but he broke 6 chinas that session
Can't wait to check out his band!
@@hughneutron5303 that makes me so happy haha..
@@AndrewRooneyDrums august burns red, if you need the name. may i reccomend the song back burner. KILLER grooves in that one
Matt Greiner is not only a great drummer but a great song writer/composer as well, that's a big reason there's so much orchestration and harmony, he's always a huge part of the writing process. That's why his band August Burns Red is my favorite metal band. Their harmony and melody* of their music is unlike any other metal/ metalcore band I've ever heard.
Holy hell....Ghost Note is one of the sickest music ensembles out there. Absolutely played to Greiner's typical style of play. And NAILED it.
DAMN.
Matt is an awesome drummer and a genuinely down to earth humble man. His drumming is so good. Im so glad you finally got to do a reaction to him. His band August Burns Red are heavier sounding metalcore. His drum playthroughs are amazing to watch. He's definitely one of my favourite drummers.
So glad to finally get to him Robert!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums i hope you get to enjoy some more of his playing. I love watching your videos. Ive found that my musical taste is expanding because of exploring the drummers/bands you react to. 👍🏻👍🏻
I've watched this video so many times since Zildjian posted it. The performances and the song itself are both so unbelievably good all around, I keep hoping the next time I watch it there will be a comment that they're all making record together.
I love all these vids Alex
Theres a video of Matt playing with his band August Burns Red at iMatter fest where he loses a stick in the middle of a blast beat section and its unbelievable how smooth he gets back into it.
@Vinnst yep!
Can't wait to see more Josh!
I need this song on Spotify 0_0
The song was written by Sput and Mark Lettieri. I believe they call it “Pterodon”.
Nice Tyler!
Omg. I need more fully orchestrated proggy metalcore in my life.
Me too!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Rivers of Nihil, Where the Owls Know Your Name.
One of the very best songs and performances of 2020.
All the Zildjian lives are insanity
I just love how happy Matt looks doing everything.
This cat is insanely awesome, he is absolutely one of my favorite drummers!
Great stuff Jon
Man, I’m so happy to see this pop up today because I’ve been meaning to request this exact vid for so long. Easily my favorite Zildjian Live!
So glad to finally get to it Courtney!
Hats off and hands down blown away or blown in the creek as we say in the country Damn great performance
Haven't heard that one Jeremy! Love it
@@AndrewRooneyDrumsha im glad you like it its a little bit of hillbilly Appalachian slang from deep in the mountains of West Virginia i love how dialects and slangs change from place to place
I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for Matt Greiner. Thank you. He's one of the best. Now all you need is a few from Blake Richardson. Any song. Trust me you won't be anything less than absolutely blown away.
His playthroughs and drummkng are just so damn good and he is such a humble and down to earth person
Hey Tyler! Blake's videos are blocked on YT. I can't do them unfortunately
Love Matt. Such a good drummer, met him once at service station and had a chance to have a quick chat. Lovely dude 🙏🏼
Awesome James
Thanks bro.. great video today! I look forward to your videos daily , keep up the good work 💪...
I appreciate that Don!
My favorite drummer
Been subscribed for a couple of weeks now.
Love the humorous break bits! Andrew Rooney, you have an awesome channel sir!!!! Please don't stop any time soon!!!!
I won't Mark! Thank you
This has a Mr. Bungle mixed with Between The Buried and Me feel to it. I'm diggin the shit out of this.
Me too!
Excellent opening Stink Face first few minutes of the performance! Smell those drums, NZ.
Also way to fight fair and guilt me into subscribing with Van Damme. Bastard.
@@Nickunparalleled HAHA! YES
Just sooo amazing It blew me Away big time, and I Will remember to Like your amazing videos when I actually like them😉
Thank you for amazing content
Thanks Michael!
5:36 for someone at his level probably ask to get a recording of the song when he originally agree to go. So that way he has time to prep something and know what gonna be played.
August Burns Red played at No Sleep Till in Auckland in I think 2010 or 2011. Matt was a big influence to my drumming at the time so i said hi and shook his hand after the show. He fathered that robot, only elbows style in metal core, think Alex Grey from Texas in July
He's the drummer from August Burns Red. Very skilled
Sure is!
ITS like hardcore mix jazz😍🤟
Thank you so much for exposing me to this
I waited for you to take look at this
We’re here!
That was incredible! Great pick. This channel has become my favourite place to be on UA-cam. :-)
That is very kind. Thank you!
That tune was so hot. Jazz fusion is so rare. Greiner really made it zing
THAT CYMBAL CHOKE THO MY GOODNESS
Matt Greiner does a podcast called "Holly Ghost Notes" and when he had Sarah Thawer on as a guest they talked about their Zildjian Live experiences and the prep and short rehearsal before taping they had if you're interested.
More Matt please, he's a drumming god! He has so many good quality videos up that make me feel unworthy to call myself a drummer haha
Can't wait to listen. Thanks Abraham!
Right after I started playing 13 years ago, I got into August Burns Red and automatically knew he was on a different level.
I also heard in an interview that he had only a pad and sticks for several years before he was able to get a kit.
Sounds like a great grounding to start with Brennan
What a machine!!
The song is called "Pteranodon", co-written by Sput and Mark Lettieri (one of Snarky Puppy's guitarists and chief arrangers). As far as I know, this is the first and only time it's been played live and with a full band. As for how much rehearsal time went into the performance, your guess is as good as mine, but Sylvester Onyekiaka's reaction to guest soloist Cody Wright at 9:31 speaks volumes about spontaneity and improvisation. And how did Cody Wright wind up in this performance? Mutual friend Jonathan Scales, of course. ua-cam.com/video/ez9lbL-e2ag/v-deo.html Sput, MonoNeon, Cody Wright and...well, he's not on stage but you can see Scales' steel drums.
I just love it when everything is gelled together in sympathy. Awesome session indeed. Great jam andrew from all. 😀👍 oh by the way you look out of place without lifting your cup🤣
So disappointed Dave. Out on the hunt for coffee today!
awesome choice 🤟, Matt has the best "fill or lick" in the song " composure " it's just very satisfying 😌
Love it Zack
Does it get any better than this? Just love this.
SOOOO GOOD!
This is the result of true masters 🤘💯💥🔥 they ALL kicked ass
I can't get enough of your reactions, finding new drummers, and enjoying your breakdowns! #RooneyWarriors
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Andrew, excited to see you do a review on Matt! As someone who has met him and taken several drum lessons with him, I can attest to the fact that he's one of the most humble humans on earth!
Another thing I appreciate about him is that he is always learning. Even for how good he has been for 15+ years, he's still always improving in everything form his form, to his hand speed, and much more.
If you do more reviews of him, I recommend checking out "Invisible Enemy," "Divisions," or "Spirit Breaker" by him and his band August Burns Red.
Cheers!
Wow what did he do with you in the lessons!?
I want details!
PS Thanks for the pick :)
@@AndrewRooneyDrums My first lesson with him was back in 2017, I had been playing drums for close to 15 years at that point but I still wasn't near where I wanted to be with left-foot independence, and double bass patterns/speed/technique. He was able to work with me on exercises that he had also been practicing to improve those areas.
Fast forward to now, and I still work on some of those exercises in my practice time. They have taken my drumming to a different level.
In short, most of what he taught me were linear exercises, and polyrythems. Super technical stuff that he broke down into easy to understand exercises.
@@RykerTaylor42 That is fantastic!
Great to hear he got you fired up!
your reaction makes this already incredible performance even better haha
HAHA Awesome
Too kind
well yes. snare drum. beautiful, it would be interesting to play))
I’m about an hour from Lancaster. I live in what they call little Lancaster. Lots of great musicians come from PA. We have our own magazine Pennsylvania Musician. Which I’ve been in a few times “pat on the back”. Good video!
Amish Country! I live in Coatesville!
Very cool!
Great to hear about this scene
@@stevenwrigley9694 I’m in Mifflin Co. Belleville Pa
Let’s gooo
Yo Frank! 🥁💪
I met Matt at an August Burns Red concert years ago in Brisbane, Australia. He was the most down to earth guy. We talked about his life, about girls etc. I asked him how him (and everyone else on august burns red) was so insane by the time they brought out their first album (they were all 18-19 year olds at the time) and he told me that after he graduated from school, everyday for the entire next year he just sat in his room and played drums everyday. He didn't have a social life, he just played drums for hours every day. And at the end of that year, he had the skill that was evident on their first album. Pretty nuts, but explains a lot.
Matt is a groove machine
🥁🙌💯
Matt is one of the coolest dudes on planet earth.
Matt Greiner 🎉
Absolute monster David! Wow!
Hope you are good my friend
@@AndrewRooneyDrums yeh I'm all good thanks bud! Hope you are to!?
Now this is at a whole new level
Yes Javier!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums
Thanks my friend.
You know, I'm a oldies RUSH, Dream Theater, 80's kind of drummer.
But this Progressive/Jazz/Orchestra/Death Metal Smart and beautifully played mix is something I was looking for.
Nice !! A Matt Greiner review ❤️
Pssst : Chris Coleman - Go 🤫
Can’t wait to get to Chris Coleman! 🥁☕️
...Who is Chris Coleman? 😍 🤘
Matt does a lot of play throughs! Do his most recent filming. Invisible enemy.. it’s insane
Thanks Austin! More on the way
Bass player is Wolf Van Helen. Even borrows some if his daddy's riffs .
WHAT!?!?!?
That’s not true lol... his name is Cody Wright 😅
@@gustavogonzalez9621 he wouldn't be using the Van Halen name because Van Halen is a corp. entity. Using the name is a conflict of interest in the clause of the contract Van Halen signed. The use of stage names is common in the entertainment industry. It's in case law, and protects the individual from being owned body and soul. So the law separates the name from the body. Hence the use of pseudonyms.
@@nancyvernon3017 I’m just saying that bass player is not Wolf Van Halen, his name is Cody Wright. Completely different person. You can look him up 😅
So my advice to anyone who is trying to make it in the music industry is this
1. Never name your band after your last name
2. Check to see if there is a fine print clause in the recording contract that stipulates whether members of the band can make money using the same name within the band as outside the parameters of the band. (Like if any band members can do solo projects between albums using the same name as that used within the band)
3. Have at least 5 stage names clearly thought out and on standby.
4. Don't get an agent, get a highly recommended entertainment lawyer who knows about pseudonyms and run your contract by him or her before anything is signed. So the recording company can't prevent you from making money before the checks start rolling in from your band's album sales.
( this protects you and your band and keeps the recording company from having you by the nads.)
The best reaction is the keyboard player loving the metal 🤘🏼
YES! HAHAHA
You have to do some Alien Weaponry soon surely? Seeing as they're the new pride of NZ
BTW, Andrew. I've done studio and toured a bit. The tightness of the players is a practice, practice, practice thing coupled with confidence brought on by hours of play and social circles...
100% agree man. You nailed it
ahh..Greiner. at last. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
YES!
So impressive ! I just want to quit playing drums now... AND drum 24 hours a day after watching this !
Sarah Thawer incoming ! Please ! She is so talented and explosive. Her drumming feels so alive man ! She is an inspiration truly.
Or Eric Moore... This guy showed me how playing around Hi-Hat can be so juicy and important for your grooves and chops. Love him !
Thank you so much for your reviews ! It's so refreshing :)
Thanks Morgan! I think I'll do all the Zildjian Live vids. They are insane
August Burns Red is amazing live.
The video of Thomas pridgen Is amazing
Matt doing his best Portnoy impression
please do more Matt! maybe some of his band August burns red!
Coming soon..
@@AndrewRooneyDrums cant wait!!!
Matt is a beast! If you get a chance, search up Matt Greiner vs Adam gray...its a fun duo worth the watch. Adam is from a band called "Texas In July" ✌
Thank you!
Cody Wright is the name of the Bass Player he's a monster bassist
Jazz influenced metal!!! You should get yourself a little side project going with that ;D hahah
OH YESSS
How he gets through an August Burns Red set I'll never know
Right!?
Please, More of Matt Greiner
I can't wait to see more!
Please react Zildjian Live! with Dennis Chambers it's freaking awesome.
Good call!
Ghost Note. Seems a good name for a band.
...Great Talent...looks like the Guy on the Zildjian Live Gergo Borlai.. uTubeVideo....11:46"..
They are all in the audience!
There is a play through done of a song by ABR called provision. The play style and groove/rhythm with the song is worth the watch. I believe it was a Vic firth video. Song provision by August Burns Red. Would love to watch you’re reaction to seeing a very in depth view of his play style
Thanks Trey!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums no problem! Love the content! Please keep it coming! Hope to see the video soon🤘🏻
We need an Andrew pick once a week!!
We need to start a petition.
March on the white house!!
Gotta check out his play through of Paramount by August Burns Red.
Check out Josh eppard from coheed and cambria. He just put out some studio tales from their new album my pick would be ladders of supremacy.
check out the performance to "paramount" by matt greiner
Have you ever reacted to Jamie Saint Merat?
Did you react to Ash's Zildjan performance yet?
Any time I watch a metal drummer I'm always impressed then I remember that Matt Garstka is a thing...
Matt Greiner and Michael League should play together because they’re the same guy
In before Matt comments.
Please review this beast : Shannon Lucas
ABR is a metalcore band. No wait he's not using double bass for the kick.
