[linkjin95]

Matt Greiner - The Pastor of the Church of Drummers

[snapascrew]

i laughed when he forgot adam d's band name... jeeze

[jaskasixx]

fuckin hell!

[TheRevProdigy777]

@jaskasixx i was just about to comment the exact same thing

[Ceades1facere1volo]

welche resonanzfelle sollt ich mir holn?

[taylertron]

if you ever wonder what an American accent sounds like, this is it.

[ELEMENTALW1]

ADAM FUCKING DUTKIEWICZ !!! If you know him(funniest dude in the metal history) and Kse thumbs up this post so everyone can look him up and maybe find the band interesting!

[drumsishot]

45 Minutes a night, and you change once a week. I've only ever changed my heads once. Ever.

[TheLastSnareBender]

anyone else agree he looks like the situation from Jersey Shore?

[heckawesomefunnydude]

Mat you are amazing. I love you lol

[johnnyboy732]

You know you're a big deal when you forget what band Adam V. is from :D

[ibanezpearl7]

@johnnyboy732 Adam D. not adam v.

[hbk1995]

what reso heads go good with those clear evan heads?

[jesseroggaa]

@hbk1995 Generally, the G1 Genera are the best reso heads with Evans. Go simple, single ply.

[hbk1995]

@jesseroggaa thanks bro

[Icanplaytehdrums]

Got to talk to him at Warped today, he's such a cool dude.

[tsm1th611]

this guy is god

[AppleTechHelper]

He reminds me of Alex Shelley from TNA wrestling

[icyrax314]

while i was watching this, i felt like if he really was talking straight to me

[MrReedro1]

Just got the ec2 clears today. And holy crap. Im rockin em on a pdp m5 and they sound as good as matts set. Best heads ever!

[PibbXtra08]

@beatfreak1983

true dat

[iSquishMoths]

Is he self taught? Does anyone know?

[CenturyofSolitude]

Fucking god, once a week? I cant afford to change my heads more than twice a fuckin year

[AdlerIsMyHero94]

@CenturyofSolitude hahaha I thought the SAME thing dude.

[35Tuffness]

@CenturyofSolitude Once every 2 years for me haha

[Cleistorme]

@CenturyofSolitude endorsed...doesn't have to pay for them....touring and playing every night causes you to run through heads like crazy. some guys have to change them every other show or some even every show.

[CenturyofSolitude]

@Cleistorme I'm quite aware that he is endorsed. I was being a smartass.

[MonkeyCrazyAss]

I wish I new which snarehead hes talking about...

[Muffin337]

@MonkeyCrazyAss

It's the Evans Hybrid Snare Batter (for drumset). Because of the design and the durability, the head runs for $65 on evans.com and it's really only available on their website.

[MonkeyCrazyAss]

@Muffin337 thanks bro found exact one on bay for 25 bucks!

[GabeDrumBeats]

My sound - Evans Hybrid over Evans 300 Hazy

Ec2 over stock or G1 reso

EQ4 batter over EQ3 reso :)

Zildjian cymbals. Tama+DW

[lucci97]

one of my favourite drummers for sure.

[Mcintosh1217]

He said he changes the heads once a week? Omg..:D

[paintballdrumslife]

matt is one inspirational drummer. the guy will be a drumming legend. hes a real great drummer

[JohnKino21]

Adam D = God

[davemr07]

[TmanTheLord]

[DailyCrucifixion]

[DeiDrumx]

[theresstillhope777]

two best drummers ever:

1.Aaron gillespie

2. matt greiner

[rpsquared95]

@theresstillhope777 yes, but the other way around. I like Matt better.

[PeanutButterGtr]

@theresstillhope777 Longineu Parsons doesn't have a number. He took drum lessons from God.

[cthouseholder]

@roflmao which guitarist JB or brent?

[roflmao521]

hes a good guy...i got to meet him and their guitarist like 2 yrs ago....the guitarist was akwardly quiet tho!

[DrummerStogeyWan]

[sebbimon]

[tripleguy031]

[bRingmethehoriZonx1]

[powmia343]

[10zach95]

i found my sound...Evans Onyx.... best heads ever.

[bakedfrootloops]

@10zach95 ugh, but they are so ugly.

[olsalesd]

Definite role model.

[SoulConsumption]

I think this video officially makes Matt Greiner the greatest person in the history of ever.

[Savijust]

hes the best

[InfektionFoxtrot]

Very cool guy. For how good he can play the drums he should have a huge ego. We need more people on the earth like Matt. Keep kickin the drums ass!

[Airsoftattack123]

I like how this guy has a brain in his head and he actually talks about his drumming career, most drummers from medal bands would say "double bass is kick ass" and i use the say heads :)

[DjScout]

you were SEVENTEEN at the time??! geeze

[BeRandom1]

i dont know what hes talking about but hes nice to listen to :D

[DRAG0NSIN7]

Did he just say crappy mapex m series drum?! thats surprising

[devolucioncero]

what a drummer, and what a nose :)

[GOLDENATER2112]

my dream in life is to 1,spread the name of christ through metal,2 become sucessful in a band, 3 get sponsered for my druming. and 4, Meeting matt Greiner and playing with him and just hanging out with him.. if i could meet matt greiner. Then my sucess in life whould be dbld. i am 13 years old.....

[Xg0atxc0reX]

hahaa 1:33 he has to pause to think of the band name xD

[Biffenstein1]

i missed this show cuz when i was buying tickets they were sold out! WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[VelaToNorma7]

@JeremyJunior4352 Yeah, that show IS awful. I think its bullshit they're all paid so much for being so stupid.

[VelaToNorma7]

@JeremyJunior4352 i don't think matt's gay

[NathannRamirez]

I'm gonna get some tom heads friday! :D

I have his bass drum head r

Though!!! Iv'e been using it. For like 6 months! :)

[skermisher95]

I'm pretty sure Evans is just paying him to say this crap.....

[thekidofpt1]

@skermisher95 well he is an endorser for the company in that they provide him drum heads as said in the video. In a way they are his sponsors.

[skermisher95]

@thekidofpt1 i know they sponser him, but im saying tht he may or may not like the heads, and the stuff he's saying may or may not be true. but either way, Evans lays out the dough, Matt says good things about them in return!

[thekidofpt1]

@skermisher95 lol 

[mannygomez226]

G2 evans! i use those!!! lol ahh i went crazy when he said that lol

[alexilaihoisgod666]

@TylerMatthewSonn haha he does!!!

[forzaitalia5910]

yeah he plays guiat in a band called...uhm killswitch engage. hahahaha

[forzaitalia5910]

@PibbXtra08 yes thats what drummers call their seats...throne

[PibbXtra08]

:24 "I'm not above anyone in this industry or in this whole drumming world"

wow Matt is such a good liar

[spudsmagicvideos]

@PibbXtra08 He's very modest

[Meatlooaf]

@PibbXtra08 good comment! :)

[PibbXtra08]

@Meatlooaf

yeah it is. I had no idea it got up to 54 likes until now

[JJnowling]

@PibbXtra08 Haha i know but atleast hes not a cockey thats why hes such a good drummer

[SSMusicManiac]

@PibbXtra08 He's above every other dumming living, he should be modist about it haha

[SmellyHoboz]

@PibbXtra08 Oh, the truth of a liar. :)

[KHfan4ever23]

@PibbXtra08 Truth of a Liar? Hahahaha

[TheDailyLifeWithMe]

did he say  nashville? 1:26

[xPulse582]

@TheDailyLifeWithMe yeah im pretty sure that was "nashville"

[whophead007]

you found evans, i found aquarian.

[DaeDrums777]

@TrSYeTi the drum company has nothing to do with what genre the music "should" be played for. all those custom drum companies use the same shells. even get them from the same place. it's just preference.

[GabeDrumBeats]

Matt Greiner. The Best. Enough said! :D

Love ya Matt! Cant wait to see you in October!

[HeScreamsEpic]

such a humble dude, and a kiiller drummer.

[sebastianjwalker]

@HeScreamsEpic Thank fuck I read it really quick and I thought you said ''Such a horrible dude'' xD

[inimicalODDITY]

Weird. In the video entitled "Matt Greiner in the Studio", Matt is using Remo tom heads and a Remo bass drum head.

[BashYouLongtime]

@inimicalODDITY That's just the drums that were in the studio bro.

[crashdan0783]

@BashYouLongtime yup some studios require you to use a specific type of head.

[inimicalODDITY]

@BashYouLongtime I guess I just assumed he would use his own set up in the studio...bro.

[BashYouLongtime]

@inimicalODDITY Yeah. But there's a lot of factors that could've caused that. He might have preferred the kit in there, or the kit in there was already setup and he didn't want to bring his kit in there, maybe there wasn't space, maybe his kit was needed somewhere else like if they were touring or w/e (which wouldn't make sense). But yeah.

[DaeDrums777]

@BashYouLongtime he was using a pearl masters series custom in the studio, i believe. sounds better than Truth(to him, atleast) 9 times out of 10 drummers dont use their endorsed products in the studio.

[BashYouLongtime]

@DaeDrums777 Yes. Well it sounded fucking great at that, so I don't blame him! Oh yeah, I know. Who wouldn't when you have access to tons of amazing equipment like that? Haha.

[acleonard]

Crappy Mapex M? Haha. Mapex + Evans = very yes!

[drummingtothesky]

beast

[Brento44]

He's a monster on the kit!

[noobaxeman]

matt greiner = beast
