[matter311]

[RA710]

[RangersRlethal]

[NightTrainAntigua]

whats he supposed to say to that....yes i am a millionaire wtfff

[matter311]

I work in a factory...

[RA710]

sick!!!

[ZuLLeT]

Do you have a hi-hat stand? I don't see one.

[matter311]

I was actually using the DW remote hi-hat stand in this video but I am using one.

[cheesymonkey146]

what kind of drum mics are those?

[Trgamemas]

Your kit sounds sooo good.

[sadpuddy]

that kit is more expensive than jessica alba's vagina

[4stringbloodyfingers]

hi every one ... can someone tell me wht kind of cymbels he use? sabian paragon I think .... but not all... am I wrong ?? thnks for helping me....cu

[plopenstien]

you are correct. but you wouldent have to ask if you looked at the description

[matter311]

All Paragons except the 10" china above the ride which is a Paiste Sig.

[Callabris]

I'm a bit jealous.

[musicIZlife914]

[challbatera]

Ótimo!

[alchemydust]

good sound dude!!!

[19dark91star]

Amazing Work =) 5/5

Maybe you don´t like requests, but.. Could you play "Zero Tolerance" by Death? There are only a few Death-Cover on Youtube, but so many talents, who have the skills to play something like that ;)

[host12345]

amazing.

What snare are you using? sounds incredible!

[gtrfreak101]

dude you should enter the guitar center drum off compitition!! your sick on that kit man

[flamingroll]

My compliments. You're really really good and and inspiration to me. One question pls: What is that small cymbal next to the wide flanged 19" China? Sounds great but can't identify it from the paragon family?

[nickmusiclover]

that looks like the 20" paragon crash

[Drivenut4]

hahaha had to comment again man... u have direction on the drums for sure... and by that i mean u have freedom of doing anything and everything you want

[HEYBUDD]

yea.....maby he will learn some beats.

i.e. samba, clave, 3rd line, cuban, salsa, etc.

all that equipment and he's got to use his dads desk chair for a throne?

but yea...hes got a good start on things...too bad he was out of breath after the first minuite too!

[izaakonley039]

Dude, if you are talking about Matter311, you can shut the fuck up.

Man, he's 28 years old, has an established family, and you're paying him out... He's obviously gotten farther than you'll ever get in life....

Also, who gives a rats arse if he's a bit on the heavy side?

FUCKING NO-ONE!!!!

So leave this guy alone, he's an amazing drummer.

[yamahadrummer123]

you prat it's a drum throne with a back

[PsychoFlunky]

latin stuff?

really?

[apujols2194]

dude thats not a desk chair, thats a 300 dollar drum throne, but hey, you wouldn't know, u suck at drums a shit hole.

[apujols2194]

no, whoever said "he's using his dad's deskchair", is 100 percent wrong. thats a 300 dollar drum throne..idiot

[Pearlbrk]

bet that everyone can see that?

[apujols2194]

y would u post the same comment 10 times. obviously you suck at drums and have no clue what you are talking about. don't comment to this, and yes anyone who is good at drums would know that is a drum throne

[sidewalk4004]

Its actually my $300 desk chair. and its only 45% wrong....... sucka....

[cirodrummer]

amazing man,great solo,great tuning,and nice choise about your DW and your paragons,but i think you should use zildjians D:

are u endorser of some brand?

(sorry for my bad english,im brazilian...)

[Drivenut4]

fuckin incredible man... incredible

[marzanoface]

BEst cymbals eva!! Im getting da paragons 4 sho.

[Reinekce]

best solo i have seen on youtube! top shit mate

[jujujus2]

i love the Paragons they are great sounding!

[hegnirst]

apart from the mixer are u processing the drums in any way? e.g. gating it?

cheers

[dheimann66zx]

NICE!! You kind of remind me of Gavin Harrison(meant as highest of complements)

[TWar8]

ur good!

[jvotransf]

sabian yes

[MikeMoneyMiami]

great tuning

[JODI557]

awesome

[norcalforlife707]

your toms sound sweet.

[christhedrummer1973]

Great sound, love your vids! I am looking into the Paragons myself. Are you pleased with how they sound live? and my other question is how thin compared to paiste signatures are they? The signatures are top of my list, but I know giging with them will crack the crashes.

[Superbradman1]

You have a great sound man, I really like it. How long have you been playing/when did you start?

[ry4n0525]

I know that you said that is a Mackie 16 track mixer but which model? I am interested in making a few home recordings and possibly start my own home studio and would like to check out that mixer you are using. Thanks!

[matter311]

Mackie 1604 VLZ PRO. Mine is like 7 years old so I'm not sure if/how it has been updated.

[ry4n0525]

Thanks a lot, I like the sound you get from your kit, mic's, and mixer. My brother and I do the same thing you and your brother do as far as recording, guitar and bass and of course drums. Family bands are the greatest =D

[fatboy2800]

What kind of sticks are you using?

[matter311]

Zildjian Dennis Chamber Sigs

[azzam321]

love that ride and crash i think i might buy in replacement of aax

[BunnyCareyTool]

hey man do you think u r better than danny carey?

[matter311]

um, no.

[fatboy2800]

What the hell kind of question is that?

He clearly said in one of his other videos that he doesn't even come close to Danny Carey in most of Tool's songs.

[garson89]

damn thats a really clean setup, all your cymbals are right in reach and the paragons all sound good as a set in variety, impressed

might i ask a little about what kind of hardware your using to get it all setup, and size of drums you got on it? can pm the answer if rather

[marlyparty42]

Thats unreal! Any help with your technique and drum tuning would be great!!!

[pauliepicker]

Yo dude. You are hella tight. And your set sounds amazing. I'm looking to buy some DW's soon and I just want to know exactly what drums and cymbals you have in your kit. Please let me know. Thanks.

[samthejokerman]

you are amazing but you might want to consider ear protection...? i'm not sure how loud it actually was, but if we want you around for longer...

[rsfeliciano]

your kit sound´s amazing!!

[s0427991]

were you in marching band?

[MotoXR4Life]

It's an 8" Sabian Paragon splash.

[dadee433]

What is that little splash that seems right above your snare? It sounds really nice.

[DonDrummer]

are u rich? is a serious question =)

[evdoggydog]

sick..nice tool shirt man..i have the same 1..i also have that 16 track mackie..and i just bought the 22 inch paragon ride..so i wanted to see how it sounded..i had a question tho..does it require a real heavy duty stand to hold the ride?

[pelletier2822]

nice kit sounds great, what kind of heads are you using for your snare and toms?

[MotoXR4Life]

I think it's only safe to say that StuEEEE was conceived in a wheelchair. That is all for now.

[daveysindaclub]

Quick question. Mind telling us which two snares you are using?

[matter311]

Mapex Black Panther 14x5.5 maple and Mapex Black Panther 13x3.5 steel.

[matter311]

Correction: this vid has my Mapex BP steel as main and my Mapex BP 10x3.5 maple as aux.

[horrorinthehoodie]

that kit is tuned and sounds brilliant.

[verdammtnjan]

damn... how much did you pay for this awesome set? i´m jealous^^ we play the same pedals... but your drums and cymbals... just amazing ... sounds perfect^^

[SlatanicWehrmacht859]

hi, great vid dude, what snares do you use?

[matter311]

Mapex Black Panther 14x5.5 maple and Mapex Black Panther 13x3.5 steel.

[matter311]

Correction this vid has my Mapex BP steel as main and my Mapex BP 10x3.5 maple as aux.

[daveysindaclub]

How the hell do you get the 20" China to sound that good!? I completely dismissed it as a nice cymbal, but now I'm reconsidering!

[Axis103]

Curious, the paragon china to your left, is that the 19 inch or the 2o inch?

[matter311]

20"

[drummer200796]

U r totally insane man!!! i wish i was like you!!! ROCK ON DUDE!!!

[JeffreyDWiegand]

Yeah both of your snares sound much better in this vid, but yeah man your sound is great.

[slippingbackagain1]

you have such a good touch, no sloppy beats all perfection! well done

[MotoXR4Life]

First off, your setup is awesome. Everything sounds great. Curious as to what pedals you use and what your splash is.

[matter311]

DW5000 DB pedal and DW5000 remote high-hat pedal, 8" Sabain Paragon splash.

[LJStorm]

how many years you been playing for?

[matter311]

13 years self taught.

[Gnardog64]

have you ever taken a lesson though? becuase I am self taught and I have taken proboly 15 lessons in my entire 3 years.

[matter311]

nope.

[bennyboy273yeah]

dam man, u are are a fucking good mixer! and equally or better drummer, i admire that, you can do both!

[LProcka]

god ur kit sounds TOO professional

your snare has a tight sound to it, i love it

[middle2k6]

hey man what kind of kit u got, sounds fukin awsome

[ocdrumcorps]

Man your style reminds me a lot like carter beauford the way you put the hats and toms together along with those nice splashes and chynas you got. post a lot more vids. Theyre awesome

[sagan1976]

One of the things i like most about your vids, aside from the excellent drumming, is the way you look so fed up doing it:))

[tymark1]

Man why dont you sign with a label....I would buy your cd's just for the drumming, although the guitar and other instrumentals are good as well. your are just freaking insane....You could be as world renowned as Danny Carey and Carter Beauford....You should really consider it man.....ANY WAY CONTINUE TO POST SOME MINDBLOWIN VIDEO.

[goldbergtheking]

jeez calm down he is very good, but in no way world renowned, but he could be well know

[NiXPredator]

Great Drumming and Wonderfull Soundengineering !

[diemorbidly]

excellent drummin man, keep it up. your kit sounds fuckin awsome. I wish mine sounded like that!!!

[GuerrillaWarriorBand]

You are much better than a lot of artists in major mainstream bands.

[bdepapp]

wow. that's 'bout it. wow. your kit sounds hot as hell too, tasty stuff there.

[splashy44]

fuck!!!!!!!!!!! im lovin this.

[jrb9922]

Great sounding kit what do you use???

[george5030]

did u buy the 2000 dollars paragon cymbal set up

[matter311]

My girlfriend sweet talked the store into letting the whole set go for $1100.00 out the door along with 2 awesome remo conga's included. And of course I married her LOL. That is and will be my christmas/birthday present for years to come.

[kallegaris]

Those drums and cymbals sound really incredible!

[MrJohnCool]

The audio is recorded through a studio, and not from your camera, right? :D

[matter311]

right.

[MGBaker88]

Your set sounds so awesome. Curious as to what kind of splashes you use...?

[matter311]

Sabian Paragon 8" and 10"

[metalhead55]

what size is the larger china above your ride?

[matter311]

18" sabain Paragon.

[drummingmadness2007]

what does your kit consist of ? I love the snare sound.

[TehTwig]

Haha I'm wearing that shirt right now.

[atxdrummer937]

your drums sound so f*ing good

[Abadabedaba]

how old r u?

[matter311]

27.

[sconde]

That is probably the best sounding drums/cymbals I've heard in a while, if not EVER! And really nice playing too! I really dig your style of drumming.

[kotfather]

Those drums sound amazing! Great playing

[Tomasbooth]

fucking....Yes mate :D

[dawnofpossesion]

Cool man....

[silverone12004]

Nice drumming, what series of DWs is that?

[matter311]

Collectors Maple

[Boosted20th]

You and the drums sound great. Which heads to you like the best and what are you using for tunning?

[Drums7035]

He is good. But, not in a band. Still good player just needs to maybe play some Jazz or funk and get of the rock for a while.

Good drumming. :)

[MaxwellBergen]

I agree he is good, but in todays "music Industry" it doesn't work liek that

[dannycareyisgod]

Yes, Sadly I know. I didn't mean to sound quite that mad, it's just i hate comments like that. And there actually are people somewhere out there that are willing to take a chance on real music. And all we can do is hope that someday this superficial stuff will end.

[MaxwellBergen]

take geddy lee for example he was so good that being the ugliest man in rock and roll didnt matter lol

[MaxwellBergen]

you'd be a good studio drummer cause your not camera friendly

[dannycareyisgod]

Fuck off man. Don't be so fucking ignorant. He's really good that's all that matters.

[thechopper666]

wow did you say $130 those go for $299 if i could find one like that shit its more than mine nice playing

[matter311]

I have the 13x3.5" model it's 130 bucks brand new everywhere.

[drummachine5787]

sik. i tried some paragon hats at guitar center and they were amazing

[ginonix]

excellent dynamics, clarity, fuck it, everything. i guess you are a firm believer that DW kicks are one of the best in the industry. great sounds pal.

[untouchable3675]

Wanna be in my band? Nah keep doing what your doin. Your set sounds amazing.

[matter311]

DW kit/Paragon cymbals. I just go out of my mixer to my comp and record with Audacity(free)

[silhy37]

great sound, what drum set, and cymbals are you using, And what recording software are u using?

[Neilpeartfan]

What Kind Of Snare Is That???

[matter311]

Mapex Black Panther 13" steel snare $130 brand new from MassMusic.

[Neilpeartfan]

Thx Alot And Yur Really Good At Drums Yur Really Good

[dannycareyisgod]

What kind of mixer is that there?

[matter311]

16 track Mackie.

[dannycareyisgod]

Thanks.

[pat6sic]

yo dude thats some sweet drummin, like the rest of ur vids. but (and dont take this the wrong way) but the sound of ur kit is too 'over-produced'. good mic'ing, but it makes it sound like ur playing an electronic kit or somethin and really manufactured. do u use triggers on some stuff? it sounds like u do.

[matter311]

Nope no triggers. Although I have everything close miced in this vid...no room or overhead mics. I just put up 2 overheads though so that should give my kit a better "live" sound.

[oldsk8r]

Are you like recording this on your labtop in the video?

[matter311]

ya I just run the mixer into my laptop.

[jabezscratch]

I freaking love your playing -- so tasteful -- reminds me of S. Copeland a bit w/ ur hihat and splash work -- interesting tiled hihat -- cool -- I love everything bout ur sound -- great work!

[Isaachan02]

yah well 1200 is still a lot but good catch Props on the kit too

[Neilpeartfan]

i only have a set of ludwigs

[matter311]

Actually my wonderfull wife sweet-talked a local store owner into giving her the complete paragon cymbal set and a set remo congas for 1200 buckaroos...and yes she's hot.

[dannycareyisgod]

Damn, sounds like a great life you got there!

[Neilpeartfan]

DW Drums And Paragons wow u have money

[04lightning]

Nice;-}

[dhurley05]

hey what kind of drums are those? i realy like the sound and your style.what sizes drums too?thanks

[thepot23]

love the tool shirt..I have it on my desktop right now

[powaowa]

do ticks and leaches PLEASE! your freakin amazing

[dannycareyisgod]

What heads do you use?

[quzieskywalker]

christ your drums sound good! very nice indeed!

[smalls2111]

i love that groove from 2:16 to 2:30

[DDRRUUMMEERR]

hey man your great what kind of snare is that?

[matter311]

Mapex Black Panther 13" Steel Snare...shop around and you can find it for just over 100 bucks!!!

[cataleptico]

man, that was great, nice sound

[mikeportnoy001]

awesome sound man !! i love it !

[sb1919]

nice click to the bass! N.P. did great setting up the paragon sound! you use 'em well! Great licks on the Tool covers!

[dagnug]

I've never sat through an 8 minute drum solo before- this was amazing!

[portnoyisthebest]

The paragons sound simply orgasmic! My only complaint is the ride isn't a sound I particularly like.

Just curious, what mic placement are you using for your overheads?

I'm completely jealous of your setup dude.

-J
