[robertrocksification]

I love periphery and all, but I'd buy an album of just him drumming first.

[infantfinite]

[iTheDrumAddict69]

[GraysnE]

[AuraStudios]

[cliffnboyzy]

[MascarenhasRMT]

[chickenbeforeegg]

BEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAST.

[mrfreedomthomas]

I wonder if Matt has any drumline/corps experience.....

[TheBeastcleave]

His cymbals sound fine; the VIDEO sounds like shit. Great playing, but it's obviously not a studio recording. Stop bitching about his cymbals.

[TheKeepRiding]

I could watch him all day long *_*

[MrDudeface23]

happy 30th birthday my nigga

[AboutSelix]

Matt with more than 1 tom :O

[alzhaimar]

that bassdrum is pure awesomeness

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

Great playing, but shitty sounding cymbals.

[Stracciulein]

I like when you open the door and there's a drum

[DrumcoversbyDylan15]

Jeesh man. Loosen up your cymbals, they're soo getting choked.

[YeahImAnthony]

@DrumcoversbyDylan15 he has no top felts dude.

[DrumcoversbyDylan15]

@YeahImAnthony Yeah man it was sarcasm....

[AsianLaxBro]

he should have a toilet as a throne so he doesnt have to crap his pants. but he still has beautiful faces

[Hheawy]

Daymm, he's hitting those cymbals like they owe him money

[bentheiburg]

Get a rack tom

[SpartanCarver]

I love that custom stack, anyone know which cymbals he's using in it?

[danielcalderon]

@SpartanCarver according to the time that Meinl put up his setup on their website, he was using a byzance brilliant 18" china with an mb10 16" medium crash..

[platynakrk]

epic drumming face :D

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

Oh, yes you are, I should've checked the tags hahaha AMAZING VIDEO!

[fashank22]

@olivier377 Dude that sucks. I've live in this house for 12 years and never once have any of my neighbors in the cul de sac complained about the band practice blasting metal in the garage. btw I should have gotten you to sign that drumstick you tossed to me in san diego after your killer drum solo. well next time i see you all play i'll bother you. later!

[SEBON3254]

[ILikeYourMothersAss]

ORGASM FACE

[abbatoir1b]

This guy needs to get mic'd up.

Seriously.

[zuuku]

I love the beginning so much. such a catchy beat

[adioskaterdude999]

i could watch matt play all day. so much fun to watch, and a humongous inspiration.

sick grooves was yes!

[jobencore]

the tones of those two toms sound really fucking good

are they 14 and 16 inch? what tom heads?

[Astrofys]

Cool. But those discants rapes my ears (not so good camera?)

[hughh20]

Could you be having any more fun?

[DrumsZackDrums]

[throwup3]

Respect!!!

[bubbasock]

Single stroke roll! Single stroke roll! Single stroke roll! Hey guys! Did you see my single stroke roll?!

WAIT.

FUCKING PARADIDDLE OMFG LOLOLOLO GHOST NOTES YO

[chisox91]

this nigga is in the pocket. DEEEEEP POCKET

[bubbasock]

@chisox91 That's funny cause he's playing metal which is hella ahead of the beat. But whatever.

[chisox91]

ghost notes nignog

[blueburnsred]

Wow. This is insane. Matt, dude, you're ridiculous good. I wish I had as much talent as you when it came to improv-ing. I'm just in awe, and I don't really know what else to say other than please stay active and let people observe your way or playing drums.

[Slipstream0001]

Get a micrafooone!

[D0ffy]

@Slipstream0001 Yea the only thing bad about this video is the damn sound quality! Borrow Travis Orbins recording gear, would be so awesome to hear you spectacular playing with proper sound ;)

[Riko0013]

Well i guess i just have to go back to practice now... :-/

[aassyr1111]

@Riko0013 exactly

[ryanbuzard]

Oh My God... This blew my fucking mind! You are so talented, and certainly one of my favorite stylists drummers, great job, left me speechless!

[SgtArmyGuy666]

Wooooo! Holy shit... 1:24 - 1:30 is FUCKing GROOVY!!! Epic solo my man!

[wcudrum]

It's like Jesus with drumsticks.

[Xepher85O]

Matt Halpern is one of the best and most underrated drummers alive. I hope I can be half as good as him in 15 years. His ghost notes and tom work are insane

[SteelOnion1]

the beat you lay down in the beginning is fucking NASTY bro !!! Sick Solo

[UCABearBone]

Love the new china bro! Great vid

[CorkmANns]

Heaps dislike just for jokes :P Fucking badass man.

[betterthandirt]

That kick sounds amazing.

[MDrumsRA]

I actually love these videos so much, they make my day so much better! Thank you!

[GreenfieldHawk]

I love you.

[IronGuitarist]

He's better than anyone else who auditioned/was in Periphery.

Cause he got the gig.

[Mp5Drummer]

When Matt plays, he looks like I wish I had the courage to but am too self conscious to do so! This was sick. No doubt there will be some Travis Orbin comments, to which I answer in advance: both are amazing and if you try to figure out which is "better", it won't work.

[bubbasock]

@Mp5Drummer I guess you would have to have a lot of courage to look like an idiot. lol.

[Mp5Drummer]

@bubbasock Definitely, it doesn't matter for him, he can look as stupid as he wants cos he's just so damn good!

[bubbasock]

@Mp5Drummer he's good yeah. all the shit he does is groovy as fuck but not a lot is musical

[Mp5Drummer]

@bubbasock What do you mean? With drums, half the time groove = musical. In fact I'd go as far to say that Matt is one of the most musical metal drummers around, as he can still utilise groove and dynamics in music so technical it's usually got no groove at all.

[bubbasock]

@Mp5Drummer I didn't say the grooves themselves weren't musical, just the way he executes them isn't. I guess there isn't really much you can do at fff

[AnshumanMcMetal]

Epic



[DirtyD88sincity]

\m/ !

[Meshuggahnize]

A REAL DRUMMER.

[TrainsforGTA]

lord almighty this man is unstoppable

[Bruins8130]

I'm in love with the sound of your toms... haha!

[morgandavidrossnicol]

@Bruins8130 Haha I was just thinking the same thing! Even with this quality of recording they sound fucking amazing.
