Matt " I continually making my songs harder in every version" Garstka
True true!!!!
And less musical in the process. Don't mess with greatness...
@@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 🤦🏻♂️
@@RagnarFMagnusson not at all my guy, it's def positive growth
@@RagnarFMagnusson lol
Matt “I definitely don’t have another brain hidden in my beard” Garstka
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.
@@adamnewyork that beard functions as a gpu and has 128 gigs of ram.
Everybody thinks he's working out. It's just extra brain tissue.
It's in his bun!
It's like an octopus, with neurons all over his limbs!
the coolest part about animals is all three of them are at this level
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 lol don't just listen to one song and you'll find the original comment to be true ;)
@@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).
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 💯🍻
PHYSICAL RE - EDUCATION! 😊👏💪👍
Most underrated comment here
still don't understand yet 😆
@@andrepurnomo3690😂 Me too!
The man who looks like a ripped lumberjack, but has literally the brain of Einstein. Please give us more content like this!
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
@@GwanYTBmost folks can't even hear what you wrote. Haha!
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…
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
@@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.
i agree. sound wise, this sounds good.
Matt adjusting his glasses at the end of that drum solo was the classiest thing I've ever seen.
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
I'm what I consider to be a "hobbyist drummer", and by that standard, I'd say I'm pretty good. When I see a performance like this thought, it boggles my mind to think how much more work guys like Matt put into their craft than I do. For every hour I've ever practiced, I don't doubt that he's put in 100 or more. To be clear, this is not a "this guy makes me want to quit" comment. It's a "I'm so glad that artists like this exist" comment!
It's incredibly cool to get to see how he's evolved. The best to ever do it
That cymbal catch towards the beginning of the solo.....*chef's kiss*
The beginning of the solo? I don't see it at 0:00
@@gotdammit lol
The eyeglasses adjustment at 4:10 is also very good.
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
this is the the best matt cymbal sound
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
2:10 this section made me tear up. Man, I gotta practice more. This is gorgeous.
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
I wasnt expecting this but thank you anyway Meinl.
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
Every Garstka video is a Mattsterclass.
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 ❤ 🎶
Watching Matt play is always time well spent. God, I love those stacks and what he does to them.
wow the production just gets better and better meinl this is great
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.
Watching Matt evolve physically and musically is like watching a monk transcend to a god
So true XD
On Beast mode 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😡😡😡😡😡😡
Those guys are on gear, they looked like sticks before
@@JamesSmith-kv8js or their dedication and passion for music has translated to being in shape?
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
3:22 🤯 whole thing is just incredible as always
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 😢😢😢😢😢😢
New Matt is lit as always
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!
I don't know if I've ever gotten choked up by a drum play through, but this did it for me.
4:10, pure class.
Ode to Vinnie
I'm truly convinced every limb of Matt's has a brain in it.
He is part octopus, his limbs themselves have neurons.
still it has been infinite times i have been watching again but infinity times astounding and awed
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.
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.
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
Bravo! So much jaw-dropping playing in this. Makes me happy to be alive.
its crazy i thought that he is as amazing as Matt Garstka and it turns out in fact he is Matt Garstka
4:10 Paying homage to Vinnie with that glasses push up 👏🏼🤓
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
This is not a cover
i know so many of y’all were also watching the playthroughs years ago when this album came out. the progression is WILD
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.
that fill at 4:08 😮😮
one of my favorite AaL tunes…awesome!
Matt is overpowered on drums. Instead of nerfing him, he just gets buffed with each patch.
This is the highest level of drumming artistry.
As a drummer who also has synesthesia you wouldn't believe how good these golden cookie videos he's putting up recently taste as good as they sound
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.
the ghost notes are like a gentle breeze, i'm in love
Very well put
The amount of times I threw my phone, reminded, threw my phone again! Matt Garstka🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥insane man!
This man’s beard is just as fire as his drumming. He takes no L’s.
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
definally a great comparison from his playthrough a couple years back, hes improved a lot
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 🤌👌
Every single time I see him play this, I'm blown away.
How long I have waited for this.
Its insane how adding a bit of space between what you have already played makes it sound like a totally new part. Just masterful playing, as always!
Factoring in his groove, versatility and overall skill, I think Matt's the best drummer working in the world right now.
this is a new level. a new standard.
The way the snare was tuned! 👌🏽
The bass and drums with the guitar ostinato 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 the solo over the vamp …. Masterful playing
So happy to be alive watching this master. Awesome Matt
Next level, was so pleased to see Matt and the band recently in Perth, absolutely incredible playing!
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 listening to Matt's drumming, but there's something special watching him playing.
Accents at 1:55 mark are supreme. Crisp and tonal sounds all over the kit! Killer video.
Matt changed the way I approach drums, and I've benefitted massively
Those stacks are the most beautiful things I've heard in a while
can't remember when i last watched a drum video this many times
And just when I thought the original performance couldn’t get better; Ladies and Gents we are viewing greatness at its finest! 🔥
Too good, can't imagine the time and devotion it takes to get to this point. Damn good, master of time
I wish long life to this drummer, what a phenomenal play style he has.
THANK GOD MATT DID IT @1:48 i was starting to have signs of seizure watching those cymbals
Awesome as usual. I'm loving early 1980s FORTRAN programmer look.
whole satisfaction hear and watch Matt play
Matt is definitely the best way to represent a brand of any type, he is a genius 🤯🙏
I came here for Meinl . but man this DW kit is a killer. Its produce all the true tone of Matt. Love it. ❤❤
"Found a spare 16th note to adjust my glasses"
Masterful, and improving every year. Much respect.
That little glasses put back during a breakdown is wild 😂
Forgot how much I love this song. Masterpiece of an album.
El mejor músico del mundo que pude ver tocar en vivo, gracias ❤
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 feel like I am watching Matt revisit the start of a genre's evolution, like an elder driving around a town he grow up in, with a even more matured view of the genre.
I saw he playing last year when they opened for DT, he is one of a kind.
Proper doubled down on the gains with that majestic Zeus like beard.
The Byzance's sound ricockulous,toms are phat as phuck.More of Matt please.
Man, I’m just glad to say I saw his evolution in real time.
Everytime I think this guy is slightly overrated, I get thrown into space by performances like this.
I'm sot grateful to live in an era where Matt Gartska can express his full talent
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 🤘
Glad to have met Matt once after a show. Super nice guy!
holy helll this is HUGE. banger song. so pleased to see matt banging it out with meinl cymbals great mixing
Idk if I have ever seen so many ghost notes in one song. Very impressive!!😊
Matt "Ghost notes so heavy, they are just regular notes" Garstka.
I love the way he crashed on the “and” of four @ 0:38sec
The and of 3, super musical choice I agree
The memorization skills are off the charts.
My most favorite song on the album. Ran it back all the time back then.
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! 🙃
I mean... holy shit already!!! Lol the playing.. the sound of the gear. The sound of the engineering!! Ridiculously good
