Matt is easily one of the best technical drummers of our generation

Nah. His style is too cookie cutter. He's really clean though, he's a human metronome. But I can think of LITERALLY 30 drummers off the top off my head who blow him out of the water

@@TheGuitarifier Matt Griener is like the metalcore version of a pocket drummer. Very talented obviously but more importantly is just always on his shit never added too much where it isnt needed. But yea with drummers like Matt Halpern or Matt Garstka out there not even being the top of the talent peak, its hard to even see where great drummers stand anymore.

I love everything except at least his snare 1 2’s have to be stronger. Like when it’s no fill it hard hit, when there is anything more than a 1-2 is light. Doesn’t match

@@Mr___f hmm....even in that regard, I feel like SO many drummers are better. He's a lil too predictable and plays the same exact accents as the guitars a lot of the time. It tends to just sound choppy and weird. Dude is a great drummer though, he's as tight as they come. Just think saying he's one of the best technical drummers of our generation is a bit of an overstatement.

If he hasnt seen them already matt has a lot of coaching/teaching videos on youtube. Also theres at least one explaining how he comes up with groves/beats for songs and his process on layering them with complexity until they have gone from simple beat>complete song.

I thought it was a comment about the breakdown

One of my favorite breakdowns on the album.

Man.. there's something special when a drummer can follow a guitar note for note...fucking amazing sounding.

This ones gotta be one of my favs, sounds so brutal !

In my opinion, Bloodletter, is the hardest heaviest metal song out of all the songs on the Guardians album. It's the number 1 best song out of all of them. Matt's drumming for Paramount is also the best out of all the songs, well it's the second best song on Guardians right after Bloodletter🤘 can't wait to see an ABR show when quarantine is over.

I've watched this and Defender every morning at high volume for the past four months to get pumped. Works every time.

Can we all just agree that he is a freaking beast, and we are lucky that he hooked up with the other monsters that comprise ABR?

This song is incredible! The absence of Jake's vocals just makes me appreciate them so so much more! He articulates and uses dynamic so excellently!

I really appreciate these drum play throughs, being a self taught drummer this is primo education. 🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼 💯

One of the heaviest ABR songs. Wanna break my neck.

Empty Heaven has to have the craziest drumming on the album. Most underrated track if you ask me and would love to see it covered.

I agree. I’ve listened to the album everyday at least once since it’s came out and empty heaven is my favorite. That intro guitar tapping gives the feeling that your trying to catch up to something and it’s getting away from you. This band conveys so much emotion through the music it’s insane.

I was literaly a Teenager, a fricking Child when I got to see and meet these guys for the first Time and honest to absolute fucking God, I'm like legit 100% sure Matt Greiner is one of the best Drummers to this day, up there with everyone you want to Name, coming up with this Shit, playing this Shit, quite literaly beautiful, dana carey, dani carey ? You know, the Tool drummer, beautiful what he does and I will still compare this to him, eventhough the Age and Expierence and what not I don't care, there has and is not anything out there quite like Matt. Period.

This song stuck out the most for me off Guardians. The whole album is a masterpiece though, took me a few listens to really understand and appreciate it but now it's been on repeat everytime I'm out driving!

this dude is so talented and integral in this band. God bless

As soon as Sleep Token won me over with their releases...... My Heros come in and win me back. This is a straight jam, you all are god tier. I love you guys

One of the heaviest songs on that album! Such a masterpiece!

Best song on the album!!

Favourite drummer of all time

God bless Matt 🙏 thankful for you and all you do

The sound coming from those drums in that room is unbelievable!

3:17 is soooo heavy!!!! 😱 and that harmonic from the guitar is just ON POINT.

Heaviest song of the album def required a drum play through!

I love the transition starting from 1:23 into about 1:30 sooooooo good, I wish that part could go on for a few more seconds.

That fill at 3:21 is insane. short but oh so sweet.

That crash is heavenly

Matt is the most professional and humble drummers.

My favorite song off the album by my favorite drum dad.

that breakdown is monstrous

He never ceases to amaze me💯😤🙏🙌💨

Damn that breakdown at the end had to be the best abr breakdown I've ever heard holy shit

1:24 maybe not the flashiest part, but his usage of the effect cymbals is always on point and fits perfectly with all the songs!

I’m still amazed at how amazing this song and your drumming is. It’s fantastic! 👌

Been waiting for a playthrough of this song. So juicy

Matt thanks for your existence!

He makes a straight beat so tasteful,and just picks up that solo gosssh

This just made this Monday a hell of a lot better 🤘

That buildup at the end is just so badass

Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!

I'm a guitarist, pianist, and vocalist but Matt is inspiring me to add drums to my list of instruments

My favorite drummer!

I can not wait to hear this live! So good.

Can't wait for Brent's playthrough of this song. He's such a beast with those chugs and harmonic fill-ins!!! 😎

Matt you are a GENIUS!!! Love the new album guys!!

These playthrough videos are what make my days bearable. 😊

Favorite track of 2020, favorite drummer, thank you Matt & friends!!

MOAAARRRR CHIIINNNAAAAAA. Just love seeing this videos. And the production and lighting is spot on.

Matt you rock man...phenomenal drummer you are 🔥🤘

We need guardian's instrumental album asap!

Speechless. One of the cleanest drummers ever! Production is incredible as well

Another great one, thank you!!

Good god that breakdown gets better everytime I listen to it. Great seeing you at the Dallas show Matt! :D

One of my favorite performances. Mr. ROBOTOW. ✌ ☮

Matt this is phenomenal 🔥🔥🔥🔥 absolutely love.

crunchy n crispy as always 🤘🏼

This is one of my faves from the new album. Excellent 👌👌

Straight banger🔥

Amazing!🤘

Probably top 10 drummer of all time .

That breakdown is nasty💯😤

I love that people still love it like I do

Beautiful kit.

G-d keep blessing you! So good to watch.

Love this dude!! So talented!!

Matt Greiner is metalcore drumming perfection. He does exactly what the song calls for, and doesn't add any crazy fills so all of the guitar parts hit way harder and the song in general hits harder. That's why ABR is so satisfying to listen to. Sure there are other bands that have insane drum parts, but that stuff gets old after awhile and sometimes takes away from the feel of the song.

such an insane and underrated drummer in this scene. love it man

My favorite track off the album. So heat

Its 11:31pm by our time zone and now I can sleep in peace. Ahhh!!! What a great masterpiece to end the night.

Wish the drums sounded this good on the LP, this is so nice to listen to

Great drumming!

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to replay this video for some 30mins straight. Thanks for this Matt! Been looking forward to this.

who else agrees that this album has some of the best grooves/riffs since constellations

On point as always .... the man is a GOD !!!

Sempre incrível.

Best song on the new album. Love it!

I love your smile, Matt!

Wow. Speechless again!!! I don't know how to be sincere in a text but this band will always be my favorite in the metal world.

Do not stop making these... please!!! Greetings from Cape Town

SO FREAKING GOOD

God himself gifted us with the sound of that snare 😍 Thanks for sharing! Kickass as always, Matt!

The guitar work at 0:51 reminds me of the intro to Hell Praiser by This or the Apocalypse.

Keep em comin my man

This shows up on my feed constantly and each time I gladly watch it over again. This is one of my favorites from the latest album. Besides that, the drumming is top notch 👌👌 1:43 is 🔥
