  • Btw, right after listening to this song, go and YouTube Porcupine Tree's "Mother and Child Divided" and tell me those two songs aren't cut from the same cloth. Now THAT is HUGE compliment to matter311. Keep it up.

  • Amazing song. I'd put it right up there with some of Porcupine Tree's, Tool, Pain of Salvation, Indukti, Riverside, etc's body of work. You should be real or this song - it's really that good.

  • Omg, thank you thank you thank you thank you

  • i didn't know ricky gervais played the drums

  • dude, you say this is a hobby and that you have a regular life and regular job.I hope you are as good at your job as you are at drumming. Because you kill on this fucking kit. You should DEF quit that dead end job, (unless its sponge boy at the playboy mansion) and start making drumming your jobFOR REAL

  • i love this song mark matter!

  • This song is officialy amazing. I haven't watched this for at least a month but it randomly got stuck in my head today at work.

  • ive been a fan of yours for a while now and you are so extremely talented!

    i am a drummer myself and get inspired when i watch you play.

    very nice song!

    im hoping to buy your albums cuz i would love to cover this song.

    it is amazing and looks very fun to play!

    =]

  • I bought this song from your soundclick page. I listen to it everyday. I'm a drummer myself, and I try to play along thats how addicting it is but, i'll never be as good as you.

  • Thank you for you support man, it means a lot to us. We are working on some new stuff right now, we'll keep you posted.

  • No problem. And thanks

  • never say never... tama... seriously

  • :D Lol, I'll take your advice.

  • your kit has a nice sound man

    what kind of kit is it

  • I enjoyed this alot

  • na, sorry matter, ur good drummer, but ur no danny carey, he will beat you like hell if you challenged him, I don't know, maybe with more practice you can get closer to being as good as danny carey, or better, who nows, anyway good luck, (should wright more music, its not about how you play, but how good is the music you create, that should be the focus in the band) but most songs are tool covers, damn.

  • he never said he was better than danny carey. how about you just say the part about his music being good instead of the rest of that shit

  • Where are the videos of you playing any better?

  • i have been playing for some time now and MAN!! everytime that i see your stuff I feel like i just picked up my first pair of sticks. You have got to be one of the best drummers in the "youtube" world. great job and man, keep it the hell up.

  • hey so do you mostly just do drum covers? do you have a band of your own? cuz i think i've listened to everything you have posted and its amazing. truly amazing

  • u guys pwn hey check out my newest drum solo im 15 and ive got my drums micked up

  • That's a very 60's Batman-esque camera angle. Awsome job!

  • sweet

  • great playing

  • Really musical, ego-free playing. Delightful.

  • hey matter- I made the mistake of putting this vid on my myspace page about 3 months ago... the shitty thing is I've watched it so many times, and it jams so hard that it will randomly pop in my head every so often. Great tune, you and your brother need more props then youtube. - Adam

  • dude some of the sickest 4 minutes of my life. haha that was tight

  • awesome drumming man. good micing too

  • Dude kick ass drums sounds..and good playing too!

  • Hell yea! Rock on man!

  • Soundss like An Endless Spiraldic awesome

  • You mean An Endless Sporadic? And I see the Tool resemblance, and progresive rock

  • Hey matter311 i've been watching you're videos on here for quite some time now and i have to say that as a drummer myself i am completely impressed. Amazing coordination, timing, creativity, and you're quality of sound and videography has gotten steadily better. Thank you, i've watched long enough to learn a few things from you myself :) I first saw your vids when i was looking for tool covers and my fav is Vicarious by far. Keep it up man, and congrats on your new house. --David--

  • What band play this song?? Of course he's great.

  • The musicians you hear/see in the video wrote this song. check out our band page in my profile.

  • Great sounding room you have there. Is that your parent's basement and if so, what did you do to it? I'd love to know. Message me if you have time. Thanks.

  • It is a basement, although the basement is owned by said drummer. As far as I know (his bro) he hasn't done anything to the basement itself.

  • Just wondering. I'm converting a room in my house and trying to get as many ideas from as many ppl as I can. matter's vids sound better than most anyone else's on here.

  • i can tell you that Matter close mics everything and I don't think he uses overheads, so there isn't a whole lot of 'room' sound.

  • Yeah...maybe that's why it sounds so tight and focused. I like his sound compared to all of the other youtube drum vids I've heard.

  • Yea, most people use overhead mics ONLY on youtube or their camcorder mics (please stop, your hurting my ears with that shit.) But matt has gone the way of close mic'ing, which has made for a much better, and like you said focused sound.

  • it's through hard work i guess. We have been recording drums for some time now, and though a cement basement prolly isn't perfect, he has managed to get a decent sound anyway, which impresses me, and I'm his brother, whos been working with matt and his drum sound for years now. He does kick some ass doesn't he?

  • dude, amazing drummer u are.i been watching u vid and they all r awesome.this song is really creative. keep it up

  • ...?

  • my thoughts exactly man :S

  • as usual, great drumming. did you tune your drums differently for this song? what heads did you use? and how did you tune?

  • please do pushit by tool!

  • Oh yeah and Right in Two is good too. Very relaxing and mellow, good for zoning out like with Reflection :)

  • Obviously, I love reflection.

  • im looking for sort of trippy music like this with sweet drums

  • are there any bands out there that sound like this

  • Yeah, MY BAND!!! This songs is available along with one of my two CD's available for purchase(DL) at my website linked in My Channel.

  • matter and rounder's stuff is great. worth getting for sure

  • Dude, was that a direct Eulogy reference at 1:40? That fill reminded me of Eulogy.... I can't exactly place where it is, but just the way it cascaded and then ended in a flam on the off-beat reminded me of it...

  • we are both influenced by Tool among others.

  • Well of course, I just happened to notice that one fill reminded me very specifically of Eulogy. There's nothing wrong with being influenced by Tool, dude.

  • Your probably right. We used to love jamming that song. Probably one of their easier ones for guitar at least.

  • Yeah, I've seen you two cover it via Youtube as well. Very nicely done.

  • it sounds like a fill Danny does near the end of The Pot as well

  • I haven't noticed it there, admittedly. 10,000 Days isn't my strong suit. I just became a fan of Tool around the time Schism started being popular, so I'm still working my way back. :-p

  • whoa quick response...i wasnt knocking you in any way man, but I was just listening to it on my iPod like a half hour ago, and that part of The Pot was really stuck on me, then i come out to the living room and watch this vid again and it just clicked. What part of Eulogy? it's my 2nd fav Tool song and for the life of me I can't recall which part you're referring to. The time for the fill in The Pot I'm talking about is at 4:57 into the song...Matter does a very good job sounding like it IMO.

  • 5:18. No, I know you weren't knocking me, it's cool. I was just saying, I hadn't noticed it, because I haven't listened to 10K much.

  • yeah yeah THAT one. I see what you're saying now. I personally like Lateralus best of all Tool's stuff, its just a great album altogether and it has Ticks and Leeches on it, which puts it up for me even farther. Aenema is great too and Undertow has more than a couple gems on it too, but IMO (sadly) 10,000 days has a lot of filler on it and less high points than their previous work; I don't think the combined awesomeness of Vicarious and The Pot is enough to put with the others, frankly.

  • do you like to watch your videos often becuase they are amazing

  • I love watching matt play and ive seen him playing for years.

  • Hey, I love this song... you're so good musicians, why you don't make a CD which is buyable in Europe/Germany too. I'm sure that you would be very successful here... with a little bit promotion.

  • Our 2 albums are available for purchase/Download or stream for free including lots of covers at our website.(click my youtube user name and click on my website link.)

  • matter, you and rounder are the shit. Scoped some of your tunes and you guys are amazing. This one, Inertia, Orion, Movement and Solace are all amazing. Keep it up. Here's hoping you guys will post some new stuff soon *crosses fingers*

  • Thanx for the kind words, they really keep us motivated. New shit in the works(audio+vid), we'll keep y'all posted.

  • good to know. Keep at it!

  • too bad he doesn't post anything on YT anymore.

  • that's because he was in the middle of having a daughter-moving to a new house-working long hours. He is coming back soon.

  • then I congratulate you with your new sprout ;) Good luck dude and keep drumming. Rock on

  • you should start your youngin early daddys little girlsgot bad ass drummer flowing through her veins. shed be jamming out to some of that hardcore hannah montanna.

    congrads

  • Just wondering, u said "He is coming back soon"...now was that a typo and u ment to say  "she"? Or did u say "He" refering to yourself in third person? Care to comment on that?

  • Hehe, that was my brother using my account commenting on my behalf.

  • this is fuckin great man.

  • Never a bad video by you man, you are probably the best youtube drummer i have ever seen, and i have spent many-a-day looking, Keep up all the good covers and i really like your original stuff man. It's all good.

  • Dude, check out Beau Ferchaud on youtube...he's a wayyy sicker drummer than this guy, but yea this guy is definitly good, love his clean sound..

  • i happen to have studied bother matter and beau's drumming in great detail, and im my oppinion matter is the better of the two.

  • I enjoy Matters style more the Beau's, Matter just looks soo soo relaxed while playing.

  • Both are damn good. Beau can nail Bonham licks like no other and Matter has great feel and control even when he plays really complex stuff like Tool. I like Matter's style more cuz it's closer to my own (I like playing like DC), but anybody who could make Bonham proud is a beast too.

  • I want this guy to do a cover on "Jambi" by TOOL and "The Pot" by TOOL...Ive learned how to play Schism and Vicarious through watching videos of him.... plus his kit sounds amazing, and he always has good camera angles to watch from.....KEEP up the good drumming and please post as many covers or new stuff as u can on You tube.... im looking forward to some new stuff....

  • My oh my, just when I think I've seen your best you keep leaving me jaw-dropped time and time again. This is one of the best pieces of songwriting I've heard in ages. A true breath of fresh air. And the drumming is diabolical to say the least. Just can't get enough.

  • That was excellent, some really difficult techniques used there. Would have been a coordination nightmare for me. Keep drumming!

    And to all the cretins, get off your computers and stop infecting these sites. He didn't put the video up for people to give critique on his appearance, just his drumming, which is sublime.

  • All you Emo fags worried about image make this world a shittier place. You are the reason record companies force feed this poop called commercial music into society, because when you buy an album, you want to feel cool. You want to be trendy. Your defective genes are made up of the same shit that makes people turn their rap shit up so loud in their cars they make themselves deaf just to show off their system. And Jesus Christ try some grammar. Your posts make you seem mentally retarded.

  • hahaha, owned...

  • This foreign kid posting makes me laugh. He's talking shit about his drumming. Let's take a step back into reality. Don't worry about his drumming, or better yet, his drum kit period, because it's probably worth more than your house and your entire family wage's combined in whatever sad 3rd world country you live in.

  • yes , where do i put my vote, this guy is just fantastic, iv watched all his vids so many times, brilliant

  • ye hes good but i dont said hes bad! or something.... look what he wrote "...I may be hefty but I ain't fat" .... i've eyes!!!!!

  • Why the fuck are you assholes giving this drummer trouble??? How does his hairstyle and weight affect his drumming?? Seriously guys, you need to look beyond his appereance and notice his drumming, because he is VERY GOOD AT IT...so dont be jealous :)

  • YOu should release an album because i want to learn some of your stuff.....it looks really fun to play...plus you and your brother are really good....get some recording and put out an album!! You could do it.

  • I have 2 albums available for purchase/download if you follow my website link in my You-Tube profile page. 8)

  • lol man shut up ure fat and cut your shithair change ur nerd style bcoz its breakin ur music style.......

  • You guys are sweet but..drummer you should be less fat I mean who ever sits in a chair with a back rest and everthing is really fat...

  • Maybe if you didn't have your head so far up your ass maybe you could see I use the Drum Frame System. My entire kit plus my throne is tilted 15 degrees back. With out the back rest I would fall backwards. Hope making fun of people on the internet makes you feel good, but you just look like a dumbass to the rest of us. BTW I weigh 215...I may be hefty but I ain't fat.

  • excellent drummer... just great performance, you hit in a very good form, and your drum set sounds excellent...good man!

  • Are talking about Chad's fill in Snow (Hey-Oh)? Because if you are, it's just a fill. Millions and millions of drummer use fills that sound alike like the 4 8th notes snare fills.

  • Listen closely at ...doesnt that sound like that famous Chad Smith snare sound at 2:58...it sounds alot like all the Chilli Pepers songs...idono maybe its just me...

  • ...awesome, just awesome...

  • ur gd

  • Is this Part 2 or just edition 2?

  • It's just the song re-vamped, my other video, Energy, was the original version.

  • Thanks. It really sucks that some shit like Fallout Boy is famous and you guys aren't.

  • true to that, if a band like fallout boy can become famous, why isnt most bands out there becoming famous? the media affects popularity like crazy and bands like this is barely getting noticed. suks man...

  • thanks, and kick ass playing ! i play drums myself, and i like your drumset, and style, till now i'd say your one of the best i've browsed on youtube :)

  • Where can i get this song in recorded and finished version ? ;)

  • Energy Redux is included in one of my 2 albums available for purchase through the Soundclick website,(search for MarkMatter, that is my band).

  • Thats really cool that you record via internet. Hows the song writing process work? Like do you guys sit down with webcams on eachother and write. Or does one guy come up with it, and you lay your tracks down?

    Again, love the tune!

  • you suck!!!!!! oh god!!!!! this is crap!!!!!!.......ok i lied....ur creative.....thats good....thats the key man. creativity...good chops...nice n tight....good drummer.

  • Post more of your drumming man...i watch it and actually get ideas...ive learned kind of how to play vicarious through your video and tabs.. so post more man.. im anxious to see more!

  • HOW THE FUCK DID YOU GET SO FUCKING GOOD....YOUR PLAYIN TOOL AND NOW THIS...SHIT....

    BY the way who is this song by...its real good.

  • This is an Original song by my band.

  • Can't tell you how much I dig this song...Been playing drums to it via Headphones for a couple days hehe.

    Are you guys a full time band? If not you should definatly pursue it.

    Keep playing forever!

  • Thanx, Yeah I do have a band, it's actually me and my brother. We live in differents states as of right now and do all of our recordings together online.

  • your fuking class is that a piccolo snare?

  • Ya pretty much, it is an 13"x3.5" Mapex Black Panther steel snare.

  • Dam i gota give alota credit to your guitarists man their just amazing! So hard to find a guitarist and bass player that have that good of a sound and that much talent! Not to mention you as well, your also a great musician, much respect to you, your band and all your hard work, keep em coming!
