[muldep]

Crashes ? Hi-Hat ?

[juistise]

[SpewingAdlayz]

That's fucking spot on.

[MrCB113]

your bass is a little clicky but that's probably the camera. your a bad ass by the way. if Matt were to ever loose an arm your could fill in no problem haha

[1994Jearbear]

you should get a good chair to support your back haha, it looks like it hurts, otherwise the video was sick!

[therealvoltage]

Who the hell disliked that thing ?

[intruderGER]

1:21 is just priceless, haha :D

[alexhxcore1]

Cool !!

[dixzon]

Actually, Samuel Lawton plays better then Matt on this song because Matt is missing one hit at 00:48. Look at the floor tom :)

[xXJoshDrumsXx]

If Matt Greiner and Adam Gray had a baby, this is what he would look like.

[0mutemath0]

rock on bro

[MsRocket44]

Treats <3

[Apertur3]

Wow. That's all I can say.

[KGdrums27]

holy crap dude!!!! You freakin killed it!!!! Good cover man.

[zhiffer]

that was awesome dude! keep up the awesome work!

[neilcaraher]

Makes you wonder... if ABR ever have a major fight with their drummer and he leaves the band, they can just hire this guy.

Great cover, dude :)

[Drumfreak4JC]

fucking awesome cover man sounds great but i mean you should still consider getting some mics

[TheWarzaa]

loll i really like how your fucking strugglying in the breakdowns and shit while Matt Greiner is acting cool about playing.

[panos4815162342]

wow!!!!that was awesome dude!!!!at what age did you start playing the drums?

[AnimalxCore]

@AngelSkinGardener Matt was blast beating with one foot he was using 2.

[insidethefire1]

what kind of china do you use

[kbjunior1]

greezed.



[grinkorable]

[delryan1]

Mad respect bruh.

[Fred1Wolfe]

0:48 fucking awesome

[BAILEYespGuitar]

[DDrummr41]

He needs to sit a bit closer to the kit.

[timothycayem]

holy shit. omg hahahaha so good

[rancor100]

great cover man! cant really fault it apart from what other people have said about blasting and it look like its hurting but yr still hitting all the notes and it was bang on! nice one

[classicROCKR15]

Every time I watch this I still can't believe how badass you are, nice job man! ...btw love the side comparison with Matt

[KirisuteGomen6661]

i was so sad there wasnt the cymbol spin at 3:18

[ImaginaryHuman072889]

@KirisuteGomen6661 yea... that just completely ruined the cover...

[headbangmaniac]

[dstiverson19]

Killed. Killed. KILLED.

Perfect, good job man!

[ThexteraDrummer]

so what did you get when you won this contest? Vic Firth Matt Greiner signature sticks?

[Thenewshitx]

that was beast man

[DontAskForHotsauce]

Missed the crash at 2:19 :(

[goalstopper3317]

@DontAskForHotsauce i dont even believe you and im not rewinding to check

[DontAskForHotsauce]

@goalstopper3317 You dont have to believe me. I have evidentiary support.

[goalstopper3317]

@DontAskForHotsauce thats not even a word, so i DEFINITELY dont believe u now

[DontAskForHotsauce]

@goalstopper3317 Lmfao.

[q34r34t]

i REALLY dont see how this kid looks like matt. he looks more like adam gray from texas in july

[AwesomeHeinrich]

honest respect!

[jagdogs]

I've watched pretty much all the covers for this song and this is by far the best. The best part is, the Vic Firth video that you've contrasted it to contains a very minor mistake by Matt (an extremely rare event!) but yours is perfect.

Sweet work!

[yzad666]

bad ass cover bro. im sick of seeing 13 year olds with $8000 drumsets who wreck songs til they barely sound like it. this is definitely in the top 3 playings of this song

[skater8999]

REPRESENT ANDERSON UNIVERSITY!!!

[MrHelliks]

This vid deserves more than 2,6k views. Just.. SICK!

[heartcorestudios]

@MrHelliks way to kind man! thanks

[TheWarzaa]

@MrHelliks thats why itst got 7.3k

[kingofpoker121]

[OnHopeAlone]

i actually enjoyed watching this. you're fuckin great man!

[heartcorestudios]

@OnHopeAlone really appreciate that! thanks a lot

[timo73man]

your china.... R I P X)

[NathanDawsonYEH]

Haha, it's soooo funny how you guys are doing the exact same thing, I mean... i know that's the point. but that's definitely why you won, Matt wasn't looking for any unique-ness or individuality, he wanted to see his long lost son drum exactly as he does. :P

[mmmcculloch3]

Looks like Matt found a stunt double.

[senorcharlie1]

Man, it looks like you're hurting yourself when you blast.

[heartcorestudios]

@senorcharlie1 haha!! yeah it kinda does.  I've been working on my posture since then

[dougiefresh3872]

this video is sick. definitely perfected matts style thumbs u[

[cky2k06]

you know you kind of look like adam gray

[nightshot999]

you definitely won because of those ghost notes at 2:08 :P

awesome work man, really solid playing!

[seriousnosvemos]

@nightshot999 Haha curious. What the ef is a ghost note?

[nightshot999]

@seriousnosvemos a ghost note is just like a soft hit on the drums, you can't really hear it clearly but it just adds that bit more haha

[seriousnosvemos]

@nightshot999 Yeah I feel ya haha adds just a nice little touch

[skateasi]

i think i love you! ;D

[Dennis0330]

finally i hear you playing, and you are just awesome dude :)

[heartcorestudios]

@Dennis0330 really appreciate that man!

[XKielbruxX]

[heartcorestudios]

[Tidwoprule00]

It's actually scary how much you drum like Matt, hopefully I can drum like this in a years time haha

[heartcorestudios]

@Tidwoprule00 haha thanks. anybody can do it man!  Just takes time and practice

[lecce236]

@Tidwoprule00 also scary how he looks like matt too :/ This guys gonna go far with the skills and looks of a god

[kabbay]

@Tidwoprule00 he doesnt play like matt greiner, AT ALL.

[Icebaal32765]

your arms make me want to kill myself...

[heartcorestudios]

@Icebaal32765 don't do that! haha

[theyhavepeabrains]

Wow 2:42 - 2:44, Matt didn't even play that live. I guess he knew you would post this video and pick up his slack lol.

[zzkiller3t00]

did you purposely play like matt? LOL. EPIC cover.

[heartcorestudios]

@zzkiller3t00 sure did. haha

[iloveredbull]

that was amazing

[benboy19]

1:53 is pretty sick nasty

[benboy19]

I think my head just exploded. I can't believe this vid doesn't have that many views! Perhaps a change in title lol

[heartcorestudios]

@benboy19 thanks man! Spread the word for me. haha

[SummerConspiracy]

It's a little bit freaky that you play almost just like Matt himself. You definitely deserved to win the contest. Congrats! :D

[heartcorestudios]

@SummerConspiracy really appreciate that! Thanks a bunch!

[JoeViking74]

Dude, you did an amazingly sick job bro!

[heartcorestudios]

@JoeViking74 thanks a ton brotha!
