@@RagnarFMagnussonI don’t think you understand drums. He’s made the song more musical here, not less. More dynamic, more musical. His flair is the fuking definition of musical. He isn’t a metal drummer just plowing blast beats in random areas 🤦🏻♂️
I once heard Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree) talk about not overloading your processor. Matt is definitely running 16 cores, 32 threads and 140MB of cache.
Are they? This is the first I've heard from them but it seems like this dude is carrying the whole song. Don't get me wrong, it's catchy but it never goes anywhere. Math rock is cool but it still needs movement and three quarters through the song I still feel like I'm at the beginning
@@phillipduvall8638 ya dude go watch some of their live sets or listen to the entire discography. This band is nuts. And a lot of people would consider tosin and Matt to be the greatest players of their instruments alive
@@phillipduvall8638 Bro the Guitarrist Tosin Abasi literally created a technique called selective picking and took a not popular bass technique into his guitar playing, called thumping… the whole band does interesting things the whole time.
@phillipduvall8638 this song really showcases the drums. No question. Tosin Abasi is easily one of the greatest guitarists in history. Javier Reyes is underrated because he lives in Tosin's shadow but he is also incredibly talented. And that's the full band. You don't have to enjoy the music for this to be a true statement, either.
Man, it's such a treat seeing current Matt's approach to his older songs. Definitely keeping it true to the original, but kicking it up just enough to hit that sweet spot and see his progression over the last few years. Cant wait to see more!
I love this because I've been watching all the live footage and he plays the solo different every time and just certain parts are very different from the recording (esp the ending).
i'm not a drummer and I have no idea what exactly is happening rhythmically there but it's my favorite part of the playthrough. The effect it gives is incredibly satisfying.
I’m convinced this man is not human. His playing is so tight with fast chops and slow grooves. He can seriously do it all and definitely one of my all time favorite drummers!
Not only is he playing clean af but he looks so chill and centered the whole time like he's thinking about what he wants for dinner. Also that modulation after 3:55 smacked me in the face
@@IsraelIsLikeWater A player can sound different by playing differently, altering their Dynamics and feel. So if someone says "sonically" without highlighting a specific aspect of the player's playing, they probably mean the drum mix.
Long ago I was in a building, and heard this cat practicing.......like a different language taking you on a walk , polyrhythms, movements, phrasings, other words I dont know......holy fuckk I said often over 15 minutes...... a cornerstone man for hardwork, persistence, and bringing up the world ......hats off , the youth you are an inspiration to, in cutting the edge, and progressing exponential ❤ 🎶
It’s funny how hearing the little imperfections is so impressive because it shows there was no editing and he ACTUALLY SOUNDS LIKE THAT! He doesn’t require editing to damn near perfect, and it’s so cool to witness his progress from good, to great, to Demi-god, to one of a kind, and beyond.
From Physical Education to Physical Doctoral Degree! A master showing off his absolute mastery . can't wait to see who tries to cover THIS version. mind blow.
Matt is so fun to watch and listen to. Hits all of my favourite drumming styles/techniques, and then destroys my expectations. The sound techs also need praise for making this sound so incredible. Dry but powerful 🤌👌
His drumming and his beard game never stop improving. A notably remarkable feat considering both things have already reached supernatural levels of awesomeness.
Don't remember where I heard it, but someone called Matt a truly 1 of a kind drummer. There might be people who can cover him, but I've never seen anyone compose drums like this. Dude's always pushing boundaries.
Them some sweet sounding cymbals. I was always a Paiste guy, but I am constantly impressed my Meinl. The creativeness of those drum parts is just off the charts.
It’s so cool to see a drummer perform a song after they’ve been playing it for a few years. We all evolve and add in cool ideas that we didn’t think of when we recorded it initially. Matt absolutely crushed this
as a drummer i like and love when drummers make cover that are not the exact and same original writting... love so much when they put their own shit, their own fills their own feeling and strokes, what to they can bring to you in a cover, this is an example of that
3:54 non-musicians would say he is completely off the rhythm. But knowing that the metronome keeps ticking in his brain while he's just filling in every single ghost note and jumps precisely on the beat at the end - you'll know this dude is whole other level of drumming skill
This video compared to 8 years ago performance...waooh huge improvement and growth.The sound the fluidity the environment waooh Matt you've really grown.
I love the concept that Matt gets to work this song over and over and just finds new ways to phrase and move in and out of the changes 👍 AAL Songs are so dense with dynamic opportunity, it’s one thing for them to write a tune, it’s another thing when their songs become metal institutions and develop and grow over the years 🤘
Saw AAL on the Dreamsonic tour last year. Mind blowing! Seeing them again this Fall. Will be mind blowing once again and Matt is a prime driver of that experience. His groove is spot f*cking on!
I was always a Zildjian guy, but dang those cymbals sound fantastic... apparently I've been looking for that China sound my whole life lol. This dudes play is also mind blowing. The separation.... sweeeet!
I remember hearing Matt for the first time about 10 years ago and thinking: "how in the world is this guy even playing this?" Seeing him play now is similar to watching the evolution of Benny Greb over several years for me... It's INSANE these guys are still improving. We've got to get to work drummers! 🙃
He has great self control the way he goes from powerful to quick and precise was awesome. That’s particularly hard for me to do. It’s a completely mental thing for me. His self discipline is outstanding for this he doesn’t loose any control at all.

This is a way more eloquent way of saying what went through my mind while watching this which was "OH MY GOD THIS MELTS" haha
Exactly my thoughts. You can see the different things that he hears in the song and the different things he can play ten years later.
His first Phys Ed playthrough for Meinl was exquisite. This one is pure 🔥🔥🔥. What is awesome is that Matt has yet has to peak.
Couldn't have said it any better 💯🍻
3:58 that Modulation is wild. Mind blowing playthrough of a legendary song. Also, spot on for the mix.
i'm not a drummer and I have no idea what exactly is happening rhythmically there but it's my favorite part of the playthrough. The effect it gives is incredibly satisfying.
Insane stuff
Best part of the song
How he have time to fix the glasses in that crazy part is wild too lol.
@@hastesoldatmost of us drummers don’t know exactly what’s going on there, or if we do, we can’t really replicate it to the extent extent he does…
The way he bends time at 2:47 is absolutely INSANE. What a master
oh yeah favorite part
He's been listening to some Car Bomb!
Or at 3:58 where he modulates to 11tuplets and after in septuplets. That is insane lol

Matt adjusting his glasses at the end of that drum solo was the classiest thing I've ever seen.
It's incredibly cool to get to see how he's evolved. The best to ever do it
"Found a spare 16th note to adjust my glasses"
I’m convinced this man is not human. His playing is so tight with fast chops and slow grooves. He can seriously do it all and definitely one of my all time favorite drummers!
His ability to make the tempo feel like it’s all over the place is insanely impressive.
this is the the best matt cymbal sound
How ever mixes the audio for these videos is a genius. We desperately need tutorials from him/her.
Meinl and Drumeo = top notch sound quality
Not only is he playing clean af but he looks so chill and centered the whole time like he's thinking about what he wants for dinner. Also that modulation after 3:55 smacked me in the face
Sonically this is the best he’s ever sounded wow.
Other than sonically- how else could he even sound?
@@IsraelIsLikeWater idk magically?
@@IsraelIsLikeWaterI’m getting the impression they mean more like his kit/cymbals

i agree. sound wise, this sounds good.
I wasnt expecting this but thank you anyway Meinl.
wow the production just gets better and better meinl this is great
Watching Matt play is always time well spent. God, I love those stacks and what he does to them.
when Matt puts on his glasses, he can be a math teacher instead
True that. If you hear his clinics, he definitely has a mathematical approach of drumming
this song went from "physical education" to "quantum physics education" in just a beat!
His name is Matth
Math Garstka
Bro's been a math teacher his whole life wym

2:10 this section made me tear up. Man, I gotta practice more. This is gorgeous.
New Matt is lit as always
God, this is one of my favourite drumlines of all time. What an absolute beast of a creation and playthrough
3:54 might actually be one of the spiciest variations ever tracked over someone's own song
Watching this makes part of me feel sad that I will never achieve at this level of drums, but also happy that someone has. So good.
What an unexpected treat! Very cool seeing him revisit a song from Joy of Motion with the tour coming up.
They're playing the whole Joy Of Motion album - my favourite of theirs - but NA only 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Matt on a bad day could still play better than 99.9% of all other drummers. I hope some day I can hit even 50% of his skill level.
Nah 1 percent of his skill is impressive bro

Those stacks are the most beautiful things I've heard in a while
This is the highest level of drumming artistry.
Masterful, and improving every year. Much respect.
holy helll this is HUGE. banger song. so pleased to see matt banging it out with meinl cymbals great mixing
Matt changed the way I approach drums, and I've benefitted massively
Bravo! So much jaw-dropping playing in this. Makes me happy to be alive.
still it has been infinite times i have been watching again but infinity times astounding and awed

1:46 Man right as he hit those two crashes I thought "oh dang they're too close together" and he seemed to have the same thought at the same time lol
Actually he probably thought that sooner but couldn't move them until then
This video compared to 8 years ago performance...waooh huge improvement and growth.The sound the fluidity the environment waooh Matt you've really grown.
Accents at 1:55 mark are supreme. Crisp and tonal sounds all over the kit! Killer video.

The Byzance's sound ricockulous,toms are phat as phuck.More of Matt please.
Watching him play boggles my mind. Very fluid, like it’s second nature. Keep posting bro, this shit is awesome!
Matt is definitely the best way to represent a brand of any type, he is a genius 🤯🙏
its crazy i thought that he is as amazing as Matt Garstka and it turns out in fact he is Matt Garstka

3:22 🤯 whole thing is just incredible as always
It’s funky def a bop……. That pulse in the right hand on the stack contrast with the left hand doing 2 & 4 with drags in between 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Every single time I see him play this, I'm blown away.
I'm truly convinced every limb of Matt's has a brain in it.
He is part octopus, his limbs themselves have neurons.
The bass and drums with the guitar ostinato 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 the solo over the vamp …. Masterful playing
Man so good he changed the drum parts
he probably doesn't remember them xD
@@blooddumpster3427 Hope you're joking. He changed up the parts quite a while ago, these are the same exact parts he plays at live at Anaheim

definally a great comparison from his playthrough a couple years back, hes improved a lot
the ghost notes are like a gentle breeze, i'm in love
Very well put
I can't watch Matt Garstka playthrough a whole song without busting out in laughter at least once from how impressive it is, it's almost stupid.
When you think a song is already a masterpiece and extremely hard to play, here comes Matt to further improve it and make it even MORE INSANE
Glad to have met Matt once after a show. Super nice guy!
Awesome as usual. I'm loving early 1980s FORTRAN programmer look.
I love that he's posting newer playthroughs some of his older songs!
El mejor músico del mundo que pude ver tocar en vivo, gracias ❤
I love listening to Matt's drumming, but there's something special watching him playing.
IN.SANE. Matt just keeps improving and blowing my mind. Love watching him play 🤯🤯

Stoked for the AAL tour coming up and seeing this again!!
Yesss thank you for going over the best song on the planet! True hero!
