      Maybe just my opinion but I think Matt’s a show off and I think Tosin and Javier have let him show off to the detriment of the music. JoM was perfect because Matt was clearly just trying to play like the first album (Halpern ftw). They let Matt lose and Matt is playing ultra technical stuff that has no soul. Just my opinion.

    I don't think I've ever actually seen someone using cotton balls as a system to dampen or control the resonance of their toms. I've heard of it, but I can't recall ever actually seeing it. The drums are dialed in really well, everything sounds really great.

      @12marklar 2 роки тому +3

      When you learn drums like that it is muscle memory. You have that skill on tap. In regard to that, you will have a decent amount of time to allot to other areas since the instrument is already learned to a masterful extent (referring to Matt's ability). That would be my guess. Not to say playing like that doesn't and didn't require mass amounts of effort and creativity.
