    Thanks for takeing us on the journey dude. Be cool to have an interview with the drummer on how important a tech is etc and what he looks for . Enjoy the holidays man.

      Considering that the drummer is Luke Holland, he kinda started on UA-cam, I wouldn't be surprised of him being down for that.

    Nothing beats your videos brother - the consistency, what feels like like the calm nature of being back on tour, I love these videos so much man. So much micro-knowledge & little bits of expert level teching I've taken away from only 5 months of watching your videos than I'd learnt by myself, teching for myself, for over 10 years! I really hope you continue these videos for many years to come for many others to find inspiration!

Big inspiration, I try to learn as much as I can from your vids,hope you keep doing these in the next tours! Happy Holidays ma man!

    Absolutely love these videos from Matt. Been following him for years an dude really is a master of his craft, the fact that one of the best drummers of the generation like Holland has had time and time again as a drum tech shows a lot as well. Much love an respect an I hope his fame continues to grow and grow. Only saw him perform once the TWA an duck he played with a lot of heart.

    Awesome video as always. Can't wait for the next tour, which is going to be massive with that headliner. That slaughter to prevail iem rig looks massive beside the drums. Even though I get it, everything I assume is connected to that rig. Would've have like to hear Luke's opinion on snare weight. Next tour quick release wing nuts, Tell dw to send you some!
    ps. I remember you said on past videos you didn't like neon gaffer...looking at the rig must have drove you crazy lol.

    As a physics major I was surprised that Snareweight called the weights , drum dampENers. They don’t make the snare wet (dampen), they reduce ringing ( damp ). It is a common mistake but drives my physics nerd mind crazy.
    Thanks for the great videos!!

    • @MikeP2055
      @MikeP2055 5 місяців тому

      Hahaha! I can't speak to the dampening assertion, but your comment cracked me up because I'm a neurotic nerd as well. Unfortunately, my neurosis is far more douche-y; grammar patrol. 🤦‍♂️
      Like using "less" instead of "fewer."
      Or "that" when it should be "who." ('The drum tech WHO makes the great videos.')
      It's "all right," not "alright."
      And don't even get me started on the proper usage of "bring" versus "take!"
      The English degree synapses within my stupid brain can't help it. And the fact that I'm a mediocre writer makes it 10 times worse. 😂✌️

    As I sit in my cozy place in Redondo Beach California I recall the days of gigging. Had a blast going as far a did in the cut throat music industry . But watching your set up and break downs and how its really not a healthy workplace . So maybe I am better off not getting " There" But it is cool to be home with a brew and a joint see you doing work and reminding me how much fun it was . Thanks

    I´m using Snareweight for quite some years because the tone and fatness of the drums stay alive! Always hated how Gels ruin and mute the sound to much. If I see these gels I get pissed off in some way haha. Happy you discovered this brand! Love the look and functionality of it!

    Honestly, it'd be A-ok with me if the entire video was bird song. Except for the tuning. And the crew's jam sesh. Oh, I forgot about the gates/triggers tutorial. Catering needs to be raw audio as well.
    You get the point! The bird song beneath the teching footage is the unexpected happy place my soul has been yearning for.
    I support your stance on salads 100%.

  • @HenkJanDrums
    @HenkJanDrums 5 місяців тому

    Thanks for all the details. Really use this: with 6 rehearsals a week and 1 gig, I am walking around with stuff all days. Missing floor tom was shocking. This last show of the tour there was a different atmosphere; people were like anonymous looking around; perhaps to see if there was something out of vision/control. Watch extra a. with more than 1 crew/band and b. at last show. Some people are jealous of your batlle and some should have known there was no light / fire show so ....we can take that floor tom. Did see this last time some people were showing they also know things about your job and ...who will be tech next tour? Some of the crew did support you very good! Thanks for these video's.I also think there is a kind of competition between main act and crew and supporting act and crew.
