Matt Garstka Plays DW

- I am officially in love with these drums!
I don't have to make up for a lack of low end with tuning. That low end is already inherent in the wood and shell construction which means I can take the tension up just a hair more and that action certainly changes the way I play.

His evolution to becoming John Petrucci is almost complete!
What are you talking about, Joshuel?
Why should he switch to guitar😳?
He is outstanding on drums and I don't think he needs to evolve even to another drummer, not to mention to a guitarist!
@@maj-lenaskagerlund3118 I think he means physical appearance?
@@iamtherealzombie I think so too. Long hair and thicc biceps
But at the same time, so far to reach the look of Charles Manson!
Lol
there he is
hi luke
there you are
And still sounds like you 👌🏻
You gonna have more likes than these likes in this video
pearl man～
Tone is in the fingers... Wait.. that's foe guitar players
True!!!!!!!
My favourite part is 3:53 mark. He confirms that he is human Definitely agree regarding recording shoot out. You get what you pay for out of the box
Imagine DW's future event... Matt Garstka, Tony Royster, Thomas Pridgen, Eric Moore amd Virgil Donati to name a few.. 🔥🔥🔥
I like Luke Holland's drumming too
@@erickdromoh oh yeah.. Luke's with DW... i forgot.. he can play AAL covers note per note 🔥🔥🔥
@@lancetothebeat yoooo dont forget Chris turner OAA
and Thomas Lang damn boi
and Matt Greiner boys come on!!
crazy thing is, Gartska could literally go WHEREVER TF he wants, and ANY company in existence would be more than proud (and frankly, lucky) for the opportunity to endorse him. Congrats on your new sound(s) Matt! 🔥
facts
Just like how Neil Peart went from company to company. I have a feeling Matt’ll stay with DW for a LONG time though
@@landonpeckham7752 wasn't Neil sponsored by the same few companies for a while? I don't remember precisely which ones, but I remember seeing the videos his touring kits. I might be completely wrong, though
@@therealvoltage You can only be sponsored by one drum company at a time, one cymbal company at a time, one stick company, and so forth
@@therealvoltage Neil Peart started his career using a Slingerland kit. I don't think he actually endorsed the company though. After that he endorsed Tama. Then he endorsed Ludwig. And finally he endorsed DW.
Just a note for young drummers out there, drum brand makes up about 5% of your sound if that, anyone that says otherwise is either fooling themselves, or is making money off the concept. Your sound from most important to least important: #1 Playing and technique, #2 Heads and tuning, #3 The space you are playing in, #4 Recording gear, audio engineering skills. #5 Brand of drums. Don't get caught up in thinking you need expensive drums to try and capture the sound you hear on a recorded and heavily manipulated studio track, the biggest mistake I ever made in my drumming career was spending a couple months thinking I could make my drums sound like Enter Sandman in my teenage basement. Most bang for your buck: good quality used cymbals.
Exactly. Some of the greatest drum recordings were done on very basic, inexpensive kits. Nobody cared about "Royal Ebony" finishes, grains of wood going this way and that way, etc..The goal of DW is to get the Garska fans to run out and plunk down $10K on this kit..LOL..
Facts.
The only things I really feel I’m getting much better quality on when I drop extra cash are hardware like stands and my pedal.
Extremely good advice . Thanks.
Actually, tuning ease and the amount of times you'll need to retune the drums are very important too, both in live and studio situations. Tama, Pearl, or even Gretsch, i find those brands way easier and quicker to tune than DW. I guess DW is very high end, but needs a good amount of time to get good at tuning, to get an exceptionnal result, that is for sure. I like the way Garstka's tom are sounding, a bit dampened but still with tone, which is usually not the case with DW as they tend to resonate for ever.
So if you want a quick and sturdy drum recording routine, you better go for a kit that is quicker and easier to tune, especially if you don't have the habit of tuning. You can do pretty much anything with a Renown Maple and right choice of heads.
Matt seems to feel these drums do improve his sound. Something to be said for both the carpenter AND the tools. A DW won’t give you feel or chops but if you vibe with the kit it will help a lot
Amazing sound... and look.
Yeah and the drums are pretty sweet too lol🤣
The thing that I love about this video, is that he's behaving exactly like he's 15 and he's just received his first drum kit, even after all this years and all the achievements.
Hey if you don't need the old tama hit me up garstka haha. Great playing as always.
DAMN bro. That's lit af. And plus, your kits are growing in proportion with your muscles, so that's always good. Keep up the nasty work man, you inspire millions.
Matt is ripped now compared to his lesson on Drumeo 💪🏼
Damn, not gonna lie I'm still more of a Tama fan but, it's not about that. It's about what Matt gets inspired to play behind and if that's DW, then more power to Matt and DW!! I feel like Matt would kill it with a DW purple heart kit tho too. Dude's playing has been on another level.
Have you ever played a Purple Heart snare or kit? They’re absolutely amazing.
@@nathandrums0 I know they are that's why I said Matt would destroy one of those kits.
@@agdrummer2610 I’d love to own one but don’t have that kind of money! Hahaha. Matt would kill on one for sure.
@@nathandrums0 Yeah I don't have that kind of money either bro haha. Someday maybe
@@agdrummer2610 for sure. I’m honestly considering building a Purple Heart snare at the very least but I have to wait until wood prices go back down as they’ve shot up since the pandemic. I’m not about to pay $300+ for that kinda stuff and build it myself 😂
It is equally mind-blowing and very pleasurable to see/hear you playing Master.
Very glad to know you are happy with your sound and DW is a very lucky company.
Congrats bro! I’m super happy for you…love DW ..can’t wait to see and hear live🥰🙏🏼✨
Best drummer of all time. Always a treat to hear you play any drum set.
Brother!! This is great great news man! This set looks and sounds fantastic. Loving the true double bass setup!! --DW is lucky to have you!
Congratulations Matt! That is awesome!!! Been listening to Monomyth over and over since the release. Cannot wait for the new AAL album as well as future play-throughs, and now with your new kit!
Matt is one of the main reasons i’m became a Tama fan) 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 all the best!
Come on over, the drums are warm.
Beautiful kit! I love the natural finish drums as well.
Congratulations Matt! Very well deserved. 🤘
We need a video of you and John Good! This is the best news!
I got my first DW shells about 2 years ago, I’ve been in love ever since.
such a killer drummerr!! all the best matt even in kitchen pots youll sound sick!! cheers matee and keepgoing inspiring us
Matt. You're so jacked! You're insane my dude, never stop being the hero. You are such a phenomenal player.
Wowwww congrats Matt!! So happy for you man!!!!!!
I got to hear this kit live a couple of months ago and it's a beast - the whole kit sounded amazing, but the toms were the most impressive part for me.
This kit is sick af! Matt looks so happy being able to play in this kit.
That's awesome, congrats man! Always been a huge DW fan.
NOW TALK ABOUT THE RIDE
Amazing drum kit to go along with an amazing drummer.
My favourite looking veneer and your kit has some beautiful looking grain to it wow and that entire kit cymbals and all just sounded incredible
Sounds amazing and huge! A great increase of sound quality on the toms and floor toms.
Glad you’re enjoying the new drums. I’m not a pro, but am a lifelong drummer and totally understand the finding something new and being inspired by the sound and feel.
Gorgeous drumset!🎶🎵🎶🥁
DUUUUUDE!!! I’m so happy you’ve joined the light side!!! I’m a DW lover lol
Congrats on the new gear and the new journey you will discover beyond.
Quality, quality and quality! That’s the way it is! Stoked for you man!
Yo MG looking hella swole!
Amazing style and fluidity in playing. Him and Thomas Pridgen have this energy, power and precision in their playing that blows me away
I still remember the first time I saw you in the Berklee shed videos like it was yesterday, congrats man can’t wait to see what you do next!
Congrats! What a great sounding kit
Congrats to DW for winning a Matt Garstka contract xD
Nicest drumset ever! Absolutely love the ride cymbal also, hopefully it will be a new signature cymbal!!
You look like you just painted that thing by biceps-curling the entire kit in a car-wash filled with paint. Also you are one of the most amazing musicians I have ever seen 🙌
Beautiful kit! Congrats
Amazing drumming. Kit sounds great, dry and tight, fits your playing perfectly.
Congratulations!! The royal ebony is beautiful!
Kit sounds fantastic!
Great drums for a great drummer. Congrats Matt.
Dude ,been crushing an all morning set list of your tunes!!! You make my life feel like I'm shoulder to shoulder with the Spartans at Thermopolis
Matt is such an awesome guy. wish I could thank him (and the rest of the band of course) personally for the countless hours of entertainment. I guess now is my chance - The show in Tel Aviv a few years ago was such an amazing experience! and I'm so excieted to hear the new stuff :)
I love DW man this makes me so stoked! More explanation about the new double kick setup please!
Love the double kick setup!
Congratulations, Matt- you deserve it.
The best news i've had all year!
They sound fantastic 🔥🔥🔥
a wonderful kit for an amazing drummer. You deserve too much.
Would have never guessed he’d go to two kick drums. Makes sense though for the power and even tonalities for the complex AAL music.
Bro i hollered when you switched to those stacks!! 💪🏾🥁
For years I didn't think DW's own factory shells really sounded all that great (the Keller years were pretty good though back in the early days of DW), but they've been sounding incredible to my ears over the last couple of years. I've always been big on tone, especially with toms, and I'm finally hearing some genuine tonality out of their shells. Beautiful kit!
The sound quality of those toms is unreal... the one true thing about DW Collector Series kits is that if you, or someone knows how to tune drums in general, those drums always produce a incredible natural tom tone without any dampening with the proper tuning skills. That is also one incredible drum set you have received from DW in exchange of them gaining a beast of a drummer to their artist roster! Congrats!
Tuning skills? These drums are so high quality they probably tune themselves lol
That’s why I like Sonor. You can’t really get a bad sound no matter how you tune. And so easy to get a great sound. Imo great drums should be easy to tune and have a wide sweet spot. If they have a very narrow sweet spot…..
Truly in a league all his own. He could improve any group, any genre, and still always sound amazing solo. Great pickup @DW
Sick kit dude. Congrats Matt!
Now I know what that hang out with Virgil was all about.
quite a surprise, but if you're happy we're happy! sounds fantastic! all the best matt-
I like Tama drums more, but I guess it doesn't matter what kit you play. You will sound good on any drums.
Yes.. when I heard this demo earlier, it's still Matt's identity / sound may it be on Tama or DW.. listen to it again.. damn! 🔥
I’m a “DW guy” lol love everything about their kits. But really there is no “wrong” brand
Tama and DW bought up patents from Camco drums. That's actually why a lot of hardware designs are the same.
@@JerridFoiles this is really interesting. Thanks for sharing. Now we know sir..
@@matthewgonano636 This.
The way Matt plays the drums, the sturdy hardware its a MOST.
Am I the only one who jumped on his bed screaming at 0:10 seeing Matt has added a 2nd Bass Drum ?
Yeah bro I'm surprised he didn't talk about that
Yeahh especially after monomyth 🥵
Dual 24"s made my junk wiggle for sure lmao
and he didn't use it in this video, not a single time.
Congratulations Matt Garstka 🔥🙌🏻
About time you came over to DW! Congrats
I'm a huge fan of Dw Drums myself!! Congratulations man!! Still sound dope!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great! You deserve Matt, congrats!
Keeping those gains going I see. And joining DW. This is awesome.
That is a beautiful natural finish.
Congrats! Can’t wait for the Monomyth play through 😤
That fill between the toms and stacks @ 2:19 is awesome!
Congrats. Looks amazing.
love your work!!
Super skilled...he killed that new Set of drums.
Wow that was unexpected! I actually just got my first DW kit this week, and I switched from Tama!
Sounds and looks incredible dude!
So impressive, man! Never thought you gonna switch Dw
I like nature finishes too that black nickel is sick too 👊🥵👌
I don’t even know what to say !!! Lol your playing with pure excitement !!!!!!!!
Can't explain my happiness 🥺...He is absolute beast
Awesome to see and hear this from one of my favorite drummers, out many. To me DW and Meinl go together like peanut butter & jelly.
👏obrigado por compartilhar sua arte expiração para nós bateristas
Meinl Cymbals + DW drums = 🖤🔥
These are more open sounding to me, more life, more vibe, really dig the additional body in the kick drum sound
Matt flexing those drums and those guns!! LOL
Sad to see him leave Tama but I am happy for Matt, for a musician to find his sound is the essence of one's playing!
Stay blessed!
