I realize this is is a video aimed at the drummers, but that guitarist is pretty darn good.
I must come to this video at least every 2 days and get my mind blown.
Joshua is doing some pretty sick stuff. Follow him on Instagram.
yeah he's a beast, modern value is a great EP needs a lot more exposure
Check out Iris man, the lick he plays at 1:51 is unreal. Also, I'm a drummer. Listening just as much to the guitar.
Matt only plays with the best. The 2 guitarists in his band are phenomenal.
Very very good. I came here to try and transcribe the solo but i cant quite ear out the last bit.. soo many layers😫
I rate it 9/8.
I rate it 15/16
It's 11/15
136 people can't count ;]

“It’s an 11/8(3332) metric modulation to 15/8(4443) that metrically modulates(555) to 3 👍🏼” - Matt Garstka
I rate this a 4/20
I rate it.
Imagine being able to just do whatever you want on drums... literally no limits. Matt is unreal and blows me away every time I see him play
you should check out Matts/Morgan
Matt's a good dude. Met him while attending a meet and greet for an AAL show... incredible drummer.
Practice practice practice! :D
why would you not be able to do whatever you want on drums? Just hit the things at the time you want it's not rocket science.
@@jaakezzz_G It's true. No one is stopping you from hitting whatever you want whenever you want to hit the things at.
I love the way Matt manipulates time so effortlessly
are you sipping an 8 dollar coffee right now? ;)
Matt doesn't follow time...time follows Matt.
Whenever he solos I still can’t tell if it’s off time or just super human time
He manipulates me all the time
@@21uziman I'm going to take that response with the most civility and cleanliness possible. :)
I had like 58 different things to do today. It can wait.
Simon Aspsund Drums hey i follow you on Instagram sexy
@@user-id2dx4qd6j thanks for the support man!
Woke
Tosin's looking different these days
Can't be Tosin, his glasses aren't big enough.
And there are not a lot of strings on his guitar
Biceps not found.
he hasn't looked the same since he came back from Neverland Ranch
okay I had to laugh at that
Bedroom Proggggggg, there’s seriously no limit to what these guys can write and play.
Ha bedroom prog, spot on.
Oh my goodness!!! Matt just keeps getting Matter and Garstker!! What a time to be alive.
I THINK I FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT POLYRHYTHMS AND ODD METERS ARE FOR:
to make regular humans feel worthless and suffer in endless hopelessness and turmoil.
As a drummer who still hasn't got to those things it's kinda depressing. I'm just like ... " There's a world of new stuff that I have to learn ... Like ... Fuck ... )
@@larkstonguesinaspic4814 music is subjective man. Play for you. Paly what feels good to you. This is what I can't stand about this style of music. People act like it's some kind competition about who can play the most complex polyrhythms. It's just music. Just write a good song. That's really all that matters. And to me, this song kinda sucks.
Bobby Osborne then you’re completely ignoring that polymeter and polyrhythms actually change the way that a song feels and that they’re not just a bragging right and that using them as a bragging right is just for show offs who aren’t actually as talented as the people who use them tastefully
@@sergeantslowpoke1550 lmao, I don't feel shit from this. Guess that makes me ignorant.
Bobby Osborne No, I get you, man. While I can appreciate the musical mastery it takes to compose & play a song like this, it feels a lot like musical masturbation to me. I feel the same about a lot of modern jazz & artists like Zappa. It’s intricate & musically challenging, but it just leaves me flat.
1:40 that seamless transition from 11 to 15 has me very impressed. Taking the 3+3+3+2 subdivision then shifting it to 4+4+4+3 in a Tigran hamasyan style rhythm change by making it seem like it was only changing from eighth note triplets to sixteenth notes. Fucking beautiful. Then when it stays in 15 stacking the 5+5+5 subdivision, the 3+3+3+3+3 subdivision, and the 4+4+4+3 subdivision, I just ascend to the astral plain
NEEEEEEEEEEERD!!!!!!
No, for real, tho, it's a very cool and helpful breakdown. Just couldn't pass on the comedic opportunity as I spotted it
Im lost..
This is how you mix drums! Excelling playing by both.
Agreed, although it also helps the mix when your drummer has as much control over his dynamics as Matt does.
I know this comment is old as hell but I think this drum mix sounds a bit strange and unnatural to me
example of a drum mix that sounds much better to me: ua-cam.com/video/Adcugb5uKgA/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Drumeo
🤘
Joshua De La Victoria
Y’all wrecked shop. Proud of u man.
jvstndrvms thanks bro
Bro I have been waiting for this song for almost a year bro !!!!!!! Thank you guys !!!! You guys slaughter this song !!
@@JoshuaDeLaVictoria your guitar tone is solid. Great performance!
@@tyrbaldur5317 Thanks!
Matt has invented a new level of drumming
Let's not get carried away
@@funkslave9425 Agreed. Matt is clearly a master of technicality, but I feel the only person to reinvent the way people play drums is Zach Hill
@@twobirdsstonedatonce The only person? There's legends that have made extensive contributions. Vinnie, Tony Williams, Bonham. Also check out Larnell Lewis on his statements in soloing.
@@MrDarkstar620 I meant in terms of contemporary drummers
@@twobirdsstonedatonce They're around, believe it or not. Larnell is one of them. Also, living here in NYC, and of the scene, there are some already on their way. This is a phenomenon not confined to music; it lives in every art, and if artists fail to reinvent something, as Ezra Pound the poet once said "Make it new", then one remains stale...almost akin to unmoving.
Garska makes me wanna get better. Thank you meinl!
This is Like AAL and Chon's love child
Wish this was on spotify :(
A grown up version of Chon with some AAL splooge on it.
It is !
I have a guitar tab on my channel for Iris
Up until 4:27, they’re both playing together in 15/16, or 5/8 with a triplet feel. At 4:27, Matt stays steady on the 5/8, while Josh modulates to 9/8 in a shuffle pattern, laying it over Matt’s 5/8 to make a 9:5 polyrhythm (9 partials in the space of 5 partials). Then at 4:41, it’s Matt’s turn to modulate to follow Josh. He switches to 9/8 as well, but he plays in a 5:3 pattern with Josh’s shuffle (In this case 5 8th notes every 3 8th notes of the 9/8 shuffle).
Edit: yes I know it’s 11/8 at the beginning, but that’s not the part I was focusing on
Yo my hero
Hi man, Josh doesn't modulate to 9/8. He stays in 15/16 but plays 3 times a group of 5 which is kinda a 3/4 subdivided in Quintuplets. He plays those Quintuplets as 3+2 which is a "Quintuplet shuffle" that gives a similar feeling like a "normal" (triplet) shuffle but it's still the 15/16 with different accents.
I can count that first part in 11/8 or, how you look at it, 11/16.
The song starts in 11/8, and the B section is technically 11/4 for an "over the bar line" feel.
They continue to switch between 11/8 in the A section and 11/4 in the B section for a while, until they eventually modulate to 15/16 by taking the 3332 accent pattern and morphing it to 4443.
Once that groove opens up, it becomes 15/4, again for that "over the bar line" thing in the drum part.
They go back to 15/16 for a while, then to 31/16 (434334343 accent pattern), which then modulates to a 22/8 (323223232 accent pattern).
The 22/8 accent pattern is then eventually laid over top of the original 11/4 groove, so we've come full circle without any changes that are jarring to the ear.
Then there's a trading section similar to the into, except instead of 11/4, there are two bars of 11/8 and two bars of 15/16 cycling back and forth.
They stay in 15/16 for a while, until Matt modulates to 3/4 in quintuplets, thus maintaining the exact number of 15 notes per bar.
Eventually we reach the solo section in which Matt and Josh trade solos. This can be viewed as 9/8 or 3/4 in triplets, depending on the fills and licks being played.
Hope this helps someone!
@@billmint8122 thank you, I was gonna say this, but you corrected beautifully. That 3332-4443 morph is so dope.
I think this is the best "Holy Shit" of 2019
agreed!
New Tool album though
@@olsonbryce777 not even close
Ripping it up on a fender strat! Cool to see a regular guitar in this kind of music.
This production could easily be on a record. Amazing EQ and out of this world execution.
Great job.
The same quality is on Spotify under the artist name Victoria
Holy moly an answer from the man himself!
Matt Garstka you guys crushed this song man!!!
Jesus Contreras I bet this isn’t the audio from this session. Album.
@@drummusician Thanks Matt, but im old school need this put out on cd...love it.
Matt and Josh are fantastic together. AAL music, which I love, can be purposefully angular/disjointed and this is so beautiful and melodic. I hope Josh and Matt keep doing projects together.
I'm here from the 80/20 drummer channel and would agree this is a fantastic display of musicianship. This drummer is putting on a clinic
There's been so many great drummers in the years, but it's hard to deny that Matt has his own sound, and has taken it to a new and unique level. Props to his hard work and dedication, it obviously shows. Well done.
THIS is the perfect sounding drum set. It's not an opinion. It sounds fucking amazing.
It be dry
Lars ulrich snare disagrees
Aldough he switched from Tama to DW this year..
What happens to language once everything has become hyperbole?
That literally an opinion.
Word is that they recalibrated world time to this track.
BEDROOM PROG is officially my new favorite genre.
Who ever does the mixing for these videos is a f'ng master.
ok google, how do I eat this song
I love that Meinl is producing such incredible content and truly showcasing their artists.
I needed more AAL songs, this will cure the itch for a few more weeks
GabrielGuevaraDrums Wait they are releasing a new album in a few more weeks?
@@ryanfields8657 i hope so anyway 😱
@@ryanfields8657 *Years
They just started writing a few weeks ago
Don’t know what it is exactly but this is one of the best snare sounds ever. Really nice attack and decay, I like whatever note it’s tuned to, and it just sounds satisfying.
Edit: Damn, I come back to 60 likes on a video I forgot I commented on. But now I remember this
Cole Allen I wish Tama would release his signature snare
Thats The Tama Bell brass snare right?
True man. It's so satisfying
I wish there were drum samples that sounded somewhat like this
Top notch consistent drummer + quality snare + distressor compressor (I'm guessing) = limitless possibility!
I’m a simple man I see Matt Garstka I click.
You're simple also because you copy played out meme comments
hopefully clicking in time
The rhythmic changes just seem so effortless, yet this is freaking complex as fuck :D And then it also just sounds sooo nice, the harmonies, melodies, the sound of both instruments, the creativity in between. As a musician you GOT to love this!
Currently listening to this with my partner to stay zen while my she goes through labour its actually helping so much who'd have thought ❤️❤️
Good luck and congratulations!
Thankyou, he was born today healthy as can be, looking forward to having father son aal jams 👌
@@levikirkpatrick1033 Does he walk with a 5/4-ish limp?
@@8020drummer not quite walking yet man, but he wakes me up all through the night till about 7/8 😉
The more I listen to this song, the more I like it. It's too complex to understand it at first, but it's beautiful when the brain starts to recognize the different melodies within it. It's really soulful. Love it!!
That guitar tone is bad ass!
Love it, the rhythm feels like it's falling over and on time at once, fantastic.

i'm so happy that you two are (or maybe were) working together. When I hear music in my head, it sounds like this. I create polyrhythms in my head throughout everyday existence and either tap on things or 'skat' them aloud whether people are around me or not. It helps me focus and be content in my body. Listening to this, it's fuvkin YES! THIS IS WHAT I HEAR!!! BUT I don't play as well as either of you. It's hard to find a partner that can make your imagination a reality. You guys, amongst a couple other musicians, make me feel like I'm right in my mind and that I'm not alone in this world. Truly!
I'm with you homie ❤
That wear spot on Matt's snare is unreal.
I could gush about anything in this song but I think I'll just focus on the guitar tone for now cuz damn son
3:20 I think this is my favorite part. I really like those rythm changes over the same guitar base. He transforms the song completely, keeping always the groove and musicallity. Nothing is here to impress, he's just playing what fits the song the most.
That change at 3:27 gives me chills. So good.
i just replayed this video like 50+ times probably, and still counting
such a good song and great players
That snare sound is just phenomenal what in the world
Last time I was this early Navene played with AAL still
Matt is a rhythm robot the way he stacks and mixes them up is insane Josh is brilliant what a combo fuckin love it
It is truly magical when music elicits an strong emotional reaction. I am bristling with goosebumps and this is after many, many, many listens. I cannot get enough of this.
Consummate pocket drumming and technical wizardry all combined, I laugh when I hear people suggest that someone besides Matt Garstka is the best drummer out there right now
I love how the video fades out 'cause they could really go on forever like this!
Oh my those subdivision changes are so satisfying
Joshua has a very very nice way of moving through the frets, Joshua’s phrasing and tone is very intricate, heard alot of amazing phrasings and Joshua is is nicee also very cleann
Great guitarist
The way the drummer moves, I was like “I know this guy!” and then I realized..Animal as Leaders!
Such a good drummer!
What a tune, had the pleasure of seeing Matt at a clinic here in London on friday, A pure talent & an absolutely humble lovely dude. Thanks Meinl.
It's just perfect! I've been listening to this song for days and I like it more and more!
I could listen to these two play forever. They both are just gone,love it! Thanks for the vid...
Love the magic of these two guys playing together.
This brings me so much joy.
Both parts are great and it all comes together perfectly
This style of drumming takes the craft to a whole different level. To me its almost the equivalent of creating a new letter in the alphabet. Its a skill level reserved for drummers who are meticulously diligent in developing the craft.
They both are fantastic
This song is majestic. Wow. If a sunrise at a gorgeous beach could sound like something, it might be this...
The best usage of 11/8 I have ever heard. Holy quac.
Hi Simen! Hahaha 😂
Derrick Schneider hahaha. Hello
well, that was a treat! production and playing on point, sounds incredible
one of the best drummers out there !!!!! sound , feel , AND KILLER SNARE HAND !!!!
This isn't even Garstka at his most gnarley and extreme and still he's just mezmerizing! He's definitely an 'Octopus' type of drummer with arms flying everywhere and both legs going crazy! Fucking LOVE HIM! ...
When this track is my alarm I have to come watch this video. Great way to start the day.
This rules guys. Hope there's more to come.
The timing of this song is incredibly impressive. Also a fantastic tune. It is stuck in my head now. keep coming back to this a year later.
Back again! XD
Y'all just don't know how great it feels is to see a 6 string guitar again. I almost forgot what they look like.
Josh: "Hey Matt, which time signature do you want to use?"
Matt: "Yes"
Terrible meme format
How original.
One of the worst meme formats of all time. It's so lazy.
Oh sheet y'all. Lookout. The meme police are on patrol.
To fade.... and it sounded like could still be playing now... Enjoyable listening and viewing... Bravo! 👏🏾
man the mix is unreal
I cant even follow along on the drums in my head with Matt's playing. Absolutley astonishing
Insane👌🏼👏🏼love the time modulations
one of my favourite tracks this is
Both you 're a perfect duet here!!! Great Song and performance!!!!
Brilliant tune. Awesome playing. Thanks!
And this is basically why Matt is my current favorite drummer.
Musical illusions to the level!!! Awesome
Beautiful...
Ok, that was pretty damn cool, but I see those Mayones sitting there just waiting for some attention, keen for the next vid.
Album cover looks amazing. Great song. Keeps you entertained during all the journey. Sounds very good.
This song is great background music, good job by both guys
Oh. This is on my Spotify list. Didn't know Matt played drums on it. Really cool vibes in this song. That crispy little hihat is the good stuff. Actually all the cymbals sound just right imo. Thumbs up!
Matt Gartska makes the fills never interrupt the grooves, that's what makes a great drummer... love the guitar tone, great Duo!!!
This is a musical and videography masterpiece, i love it!
Amazing to witness such ability. Matt really showing the way, always pushing that elusive envelope.
Just amazing, inspirational
What a wild ride through the fabric of space and time.....
What a masterpiece!
God damn, I need more of this
solid!!! outstanding player !!!
that syncopated fill with the guitar at 2:44 was so clean
Love the timing on this one
Love the composition!
Love it!
Excellent video!! Congrats Guys 🥁👊👏
The king of ghost notes, no one can touch him in that regard.
My God, its so cool !
This is magical
Musical genius this is an amazing art of work of music and both musicians are so cold let’s go🙏😎
