Good call dexsullivan. All his hits on the drums look tight!!! Bad ass drummer!!! I was lucky to have met him here in San Antonio recently on the warped tour. Very Humble dude and was not arrogant.
Mistakes are inevitable, i can only hope that when i mess up in my own playing that i sound and look as good as matt does when he messes up. His playing is ridiculously clean.Idk how he writes the parts for these songs but they never dissapoint!
@CHR1ZA130K howd he mess up? if he didnt play the same fill as in the recording its not a mess up. sometimes in the moment its more important to keep time than to remember what you should be playing
What i would like to see is a video comparing Matt Greiner and Shannon Lucas to see whos better. I like this guyy wayy more though but that would be a good matchup. August Burns Red owns, and so does Matt!!!
idk what it is about matt....his drumming is just.....right. He plays every part the same way i would expect a drummer to play it.....he plays on the china at the right times and idk....hes just awesome lol
idk what it is about matt....his drumming is just.....right. He plays every part the same way i would expect a drummer to play it.....he plays on the china at the right times....and idk....hes just awesome lol
@TylerMatthewSonn i would hope to god they do. you completely took that as if i said that only Matt writes his drum parts and that every other band has someone else write it for them.. if The Rev were to be as technical as Matt during every A7X song, the drumming simply wouldn't fit with A7X's style.
@TylerMatthewSonn their styles are very different. Matt chooses to be more technical. The Rev did not. their genres aren't even close to eachother. The Rev was ranked in the top 10 drummers in the world. not by fans either. i definately believe that Matt Greiner should be in the top 10, but stating your opoinion doesn't mean one is better than the other. people have the right to their own opionions
@12AustionJohnson12 Did I ever say The Rev was bad? no, I said Matt Greiner is better, The Rev in his own right was a down right awesome drummer, I just said he has a more commercial image. And I do know what band members are capable of... by listening to the music.
@willtron3000 yes, he's capable of playing his own personal style. i would hope he would be. this is one of his various styles. put him on a set without a band in front of him and see what he does. i love ABR and Matt is an ispiration to me. i wasn't trying to make an arguement. i'm just saying that this would be an arguement that would never end. their styles are different, their genres are different, their inspirations are different.
one of the best metal drummers, and has no cookie cutter image like the rev or travis barker, or any of those commercial drummers, to be honest, he completely out plays them hes and extremely tight drummer. Shame if you say Matt Greiner to some who likes metal they'll say who?
@willtron3000 Matt Greiner is just as good as The Rev and The Rev is just as good as Matt Greiner. that's a totally unfair comparison because they're different styles of drumming. i love ABR and A7X, though. i don't compare bands at all. it's not fair. you have no idea what the band members are capable of.
I think having a teacher is very important, especially for drummers. You can teach yourself alot, but it's important to have a teacher to show how to play with a correct and safe technique. There are a lot of talented drummers on youtube that could really benefit from getting some technique lessons.
this song has to be there greatest song eer!! the best breakdown! and they definetly put on an amazing show!!!! fav band!!! matt is my idol!! i can only fdream of being have as good as him! omg.
i like how every single freaking hit with his hands and feet are excatly perfect. he knows his shit really good. nothing is sloppy, everything is precise
hey sorry i couldnt find our conversation but if u honestly think its that simple dude ur mistaken u want to know y matt is amazing he was taught amazing technique practice all of his rudiments and any warm up given to him in his past that is y he is amazing
There are things a teacher can teach you that you can't teach yourself. I taught myself how to play this kind of music then when I went to take lessons I learned that i had no independence at all when it came to any other style.... If you tried playing bop or something like that right now you would completly look like an idiot. And learning bop and jazz helps with this music too. You would be surprised how bad you actually suck without someone helping you.
You can still find tips and vids or pretty much anything with a google search that will do the same thing as a teacher. You've just got to practice those things. Practice is ten times more important than a teacher.
Example: Andy Sneap never went to any kind of engineering school. Look at the albums he's putting out now.
why shouldn't you teach yourself? I have been playing for around 6 years and i taught my self. its really how you practice that can hurt things. just ask questions and it'll be fine. You have to teach yourself somethings. Teachers can only do so much man :) but yea teacher are also good haha
@coreykidperson1 I would designt the bottom of the soles to have patches of the same material used for those non-slip grips found at Radio Shack. Back in the day they used to sell those tiny little pads you would stick to your dash and just toss your cell phone on top of it. It worked very well, and a show made with a tiny little pad under it would work well.
yeah i agree with all you doods about the drummers always being in the back and lonely..but i also agree with fragile band sweden..as a drummer also...i worry about my time and having fun with the song...playing the song makes the lonliness go away.....all the drummers that love music all know whay im talkin about.......god bless matt and abr and all you people that listen to em....
Sure, but its not that lonely with a crowd this good ! as a drummer i just focus on keeping time and playing the song, dont have time think about beeing Lonely, altho i totally agree with ur statement !
Yeah when you're playing a great song and the crowd is into it, you don't think about how "lonely" you feel. You think about how you're rocking their faces off!!!
to get in sync, the drummers job is to keep the time, so if they get off-beat, hes shows them the beat so they get back on track! if the in ear monitor system fails, so to speak.
look at the foot works!!!!! owh my goodnes.
