@@JunkdrummerTV I dont know what made you choose this song to do for him but the man crush is strong for Matt for me even being a guitarist. This isn't nothing compared to how good this man is. And I always said I would follow you if you did a video on Matt, but you have no clue how good he is by this video. Pick another one or let me pick one for you and see how stupid amazing he is and I'll follow. Not that you need my follow but Matt is insanely ridiculous. You just picked the wrong video to see how good he is.

@@jasonevans1978 i was thinking the same! Hes amazing regardless. At least this video had a great stick change. But Matt has come a long way since the early 2000's/2010's!

Matt has been doing play-troughs since the pandemic started, you should do one of them since you could appreciate better how good he is, if I can recommend you one you should do Paramount as a second reaction 😁

Technically, they don't identify as a "Christian" band, because not all of them are Christians. But Matt is, and Jake is a Christian as well. So the lyrics tend to lean that direction.

Kinda. They whole heatedly acknowledge Jesus Christ as savior in songs like Redemption. Even one of the members called themselves a Christian band in an interview on Loud Wire I think it was at. Regardless if one believes or one doesn't. They portray Jesus as Lord. Lyrics lean on towards that because of Christian orientation. Like Genesis, in the begining was God. God is first in their music.

Matt Greiner's playthrough of defender, its perfection

Matt Greiner is seriously the man! ABR albums , Messengers and Thrill Seeker. Classics.

Same city, he actually does sound tech for abr on tour

Matt actually never did marching band. He was homeschooled so he took that advantage to learn drums and have more time to himself. Fun fact when the band first started they would have practice in the chicken egg refrigerator because it was completely sound proof.

matt has used truth custom drums for years by the way. those shells alone are probably $8k also to add on to the staccato stroke. he basically only does rimshots

I’ve been waiting for you to do a cover of him for so long! Thank you!

Can also tell the drumliners because we like our toms and snare flat. LOL

You have a great analysis of Matt good job im subscribed

Love this . Huge fan of you and my boy Matt. They wouldn’t classify themself as a Christian band but a couple of their members are and they do have a couple of faith based songs. Lookin forward to your next video!

Truly appreciate the reaction/review. It's nice to stumble on videos of people reacting to "genres" out of their wheelhouse and giving it an honest unbiased review. I've been an August Burns Red fan since round about when this song came out almost 15 years ago. Matt is hands down my favorite drummer. If I may, I recommend giving his work off of Phantom Anthem or Guardians, their two most recent albums, a listen. Their fundamentals are the same but they have truly evolved. Also, yes they are a christian band. A lot of these bands are and for some reason they all manage to be amazing and that's coming from an agnostic. Once again great vid, man!

That's Matt's signature Truth drum kit before he went to DW.

Can you do Matt Halpern - 22 Faces playthrough? I think it’s a song you’ll dig.

Also Matt plays DW.

Chris turner the drummer for oceans ate alaska is making a solo album and he released the first song from it and a drum play through you should react to it

The zill-bell is one he personally developed with Zildjian. Not a stock bell you can buy from them, it is his own personal play-bell... he also have his own drum manufacturing company Greiner&Kilmer, currently in the process of buying a custom snare from them

Matt is God tier at drumming. Got to meet him once and seen them live 3 times. Worth it every time.

I love ABR so much, thanks for your reaction :)

Matt never did marching band but he's such a student of drums too that I wouldn't be surprised if he watched drum corps and picked stuff up from them

Love seeing a reaction to Matt! This is an ollllllldddd song. Back when they were all breakdowns and blast beats. Would love to see a reaction to his play through of their song Ghosts.

"Sticks are sticks and hands are hands" is my favorite contemporary country album.

I'm so happy to see that you enjoyed your 1st experience with Matt Greiner! That is a maybe decade old video, if you want to see how his technique has progressed check out his video for "Provisions" or "Invisible Enemy". Also, ABR has stated multiple times that they are not a "sacred" band. However, members are religious and it has an influence in their music. Most people assume that they are a "sacred" band because they have music that is high energy with a inspiring or uplifting message.

Love watching your reaction videos. August Burns Red is a Christian Metal Core band. I know it's not your thing but Matt's methods are so good you gotta watch some of his drum clinics on KZread at Namm. He's really good & I'm not even a drummer but I could watch 2 hour long clinics of him & listen to all his Q&A he is that good!

Would love to see you react to one of his studio sessions, especially a more recent piece by him

I would also highly recommend Tone Taylor’s studio recording of Matt Greiner playing “Invisible Enemy”! Some really go good, really interesting time signatures! Great content, keep it up!

Still my favorite video of Matt! You should check out his videos he has been putting out this past year of their songs without the vocals, really sick🤙🏻

They are a Christian band. One of my favorites and Matt is probably my favorite drummer all time. So awesome to watch play!

Such a good song

He is my favorite drummer of all time. Dude is an animal

If you’re going to react to a Matt Greiner drum video, you gotta check out any of his Zildjian or ABR KZread page drum playthroughs. You get all of the different angles and way better sound quality. Any song you watch him play is phenomenal, but check out White Washed, Invisible Enemy, Defender, or Paramount. Absolutely nuts. Love the content, my dude! Keep doing what you’re doing.

Here you go Steve because you deserve it... Liked and commented. Fuck the algorithm!!

The bell on top of his ride is called a "blast bell"; he developed them with zildjian and is the only vendor for them. I got mine a few weeks ago. It's like a zombie zilbell.

Please check out Alex from Saosin! The stuff he was doing back in the day was so technical when they were melodic and with a super simple kit.

Matt is an absolute monster behind the kit. Finese, style, power and groove all in one excellent metal drummer. He also plays DW drums now and that “zil bell” style cymbal is a personal design he made. They were for sale for a short time through Matt himself if you messaged him in social media Definitely check out Chris Turners first solo song “40 Roll” its all natural drums, no quantization and just incredible playing.

Man august burns red is from my area i live in NEPA and they absolutely slap. Matt greiner is a thundergod. Also the quality for this isnt terrible by any means but it isnt the best he has high quality drum playthroughs

Matt is a Zildjian Endorser. He uses a K Heavy Ride and a bell that zildjian created for him, known as the Zildjian K Dry Bell.

You say “there no odd times” at 8:06 just a few seconds after the breakdown that’s in 7/4 lol. Messengers has a lot of odd-time and poly-metered parts that’s part of the reason why I love that album so much!

You need to react to his playthrough of bones or paramount. He made them during lockdown, and he is a living legend

Look at this mans fuckin triceps hahaha🔥

I think that might be one of his own kits he built! Greiner & Kilmer I believe. But he usually plays those or DW's!

Definitely look into his newer stuff. He has a studio play along series for their new album. He is also very Christian, as is their vocalist, Jake. I love these guys, favorite band

You should watch his play through of Composure on his channel it’s studio quality and showcases how good Matt really is also check out Chris Turner that mans a MONSTER on the kit

To answer you sacred question, they are definitely a Christian metalcore band

I have the exact same sabian cymbal case!!

React to drums on August Burns Red new songs!

Love hearing your insights. You should really check out Chris Turner- 40 Roll. Its an amazing one take performance live in studio with no samples, triggers, or snap to grid in post. The man is an Alien!

Definitely need to do one of his newer drum playthroughs. He did amazing job producing them and you can really drill into his technique/skill. Check out his Paramount or Composure playthroughs

"I would bet my Honda Element" got me man

He's playing his truth signature kit now hes a dw artist

"watched a interview to get his name right" says it wrong lol

you've got to check out Vlad from Jinjers play through of under the dome. that guy is crazy talented. A must watch

The drums he played on this one was Truth Custom Drums. But he's since switched to DW 🙂

Speaking of Matts, would you react to Matt Mingus from Dance Gavin Dance? Pretty underrated drummer. I love his performance in "We Own the Night"

Check out Adam gray doing hook line and sinner from Texas in July. Both similar bands

Man, you gotta see some of his recent play throughs. The song Defended is a must.

Gotta check out Jessie Smith from old school Zao. I believe their second album they didn’t have an actual bass guitarist in their album. But their first album was unapologetically raw ass fuck.

One thing I love about ABR is that they almost always release an instrumental version of their albums. makes the music feel not as brutal and in your face so you can truly enjoy the musicianship.

Lol I can't believe you chose this song out of all of the tracks you could have picked!

As much as I love that song, I feel there was plenty of other ones to really showcase his talents. But still cool you got to review him. Definitely look into him some more

Hes got some high quality play thrus of their more recent songs you should check out

August Burns Red is one of the greatest bands out there. They are a Christian oriented band and create very powerful music. In this song it sings "nothing stands between a man and his maker." Older stuff is the best but their new songs seem to be getting back to their roots.

Matt has always been solid but IMO he’s done a lot more interesting songs especially in recent years and there’s a lot of good playthroughs on the internet. If you come back to him check out Invisible enemy, The blinding light (older but still gnarly), or the Zildjian Live deal he did.

You should really check out their more recent stuff. He’s good in this video but he has grown so much since then.

I agree with the double bass being more of groove then being the tempo

ABR is my favorite band so I definitely have a biased opinion. Matt imo is the best drummer in the genre. His speed and precision is on another level and transitions are just clean as can be. I have seen them live multiple times and they are definitely perfectionists. They are one of a kind.

You should watch him with Aaron Spears Zildjian Live !

You should react to Nick Pierce - Aeon Symmetry. It’s an older video but the man is a beast. Current drummer for unearth but that song was for culling the weak.

He’s playing his old bubinga shelled Truth custom drum kit

Can you react to The drum play through for head mounted sideways by vola? Dude does some pretty interesting stuff.

Great video man. What is the name of your band

Glad you finally had these guys cross your table. Check out their entire Messengers disc. It's GREAT. Truth of a Liar is REMARKABLE. And yea these guys are a "christian" band.

I feel like this guy would LOVE newer ABR, Phantem Anthem in particular. That’s when Matt’s creativity truly blossoms IMO

You should check out Billy Reimer’s playthrough of “When I Lost My Bet” by his band The Dillinger Escape Plan (RIP). Completely bonkers player.

The best part is he said he intentionally watched an interview with him so he could pronounce his name right and he still butchered his name multiple times LOL. No hate here though, great reaction😁
