As a bassist and not a drummer, this has been one of my favorite drum tracks since I bought "Them" in college and was blown away by Mikkey Dee. I know this isn't Mikkey, but I also know King is a perfectionist and he wouldn't hire a slouch. Matt is no slouch here. This video was a gift for me.

I do too! They tend to get a bad rep from some Sickdrummer subscribers, but I think that's just because a lot of them are young highschool kids that just go with whatever cymbals are on the Bandwagon. Their rides and China's have always been some of the best on available. I just don't care for most of the "Rude series".

I never really noticed how complex this rhythm was until watching Matt in action--this is not easy stuff, and it also speaks volumes of not only how awesome Mikkey Dee is, but how awesome Matt is for picking this up and doing it justice--not to mention making it his own--as well as he clearly has. Good work, Matt!

What a great Player Matt is! I've seen him live with King a few times, and he's amazing!

One of the best drum tracks in metal history. The very one i'd like to play from beggining to end. So well written. Mikkey dee is a monster and i'm glad Matt can mimic it so effectevely

Absolutely amazing, and King still able to carry his vocal abilities to this day, phenomenal.

WOW!!!! PERFECTION! 🤯🤯😱🤯🤯

Monster!! Technical and heavy. Can watch this jewel a million times!

Totally underated drummer right here

simply GREAT !!!

man i'm loving the sound of that snare.

Stellar performance, really good! I'm glad for King to, he had a couple of rough year's after Mikkey left (not counting Snowy in that bunch of drummers) bit Thompson kicks ass here!❤

Never get tired of this... simply amazing

Just saw this one again. Still awestruck. Top drumming. And he's got the swing. Top notch 😊

Matty! #MarltonCrew He's a genuinely good guy❤✌and kick ass drummer🎶

Soon as i saw the title King Diamond i clicked in an instant. What a great treat to see Welcome Home from the percussion view! Fan Fuckin Tastic!

This dude’s kit sounds amazing 🤩

Saw them tonight. Came to see the drummer, he was incredible and the drums sounded amazing. I'm s new fan of Matt Thompson. Simply phenomenal!

Damn that's crazy awesome

Classic Diamond 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Matt is my Master!!!

1.56 is mind blowing the speed involved, totally awesome brotha

Amazing. Matt is so damn good and doesn't get enough credit. This video shows how good he really is. He makes this song look so effortless. I would be dying by the end...if I could make it that far.

King Diamond has always had the best musicians ,,no matter what ,,songs are timeless,,, talent is over the top

Flawless.

Matt, sir you are one of the top drummers out there brother! So tight.

So much better than blast beats for 5 minutes...

Thank you so much for turning us all on to this dude. He's so nasty...I could watch him play for days

This is some of the tastiest heavy metal drumming I've ever seen.

Matt the Machine!! Dude is incredible.

hell yes man! thank you!

+Mickey Holm I saw King Diamond twice in the 80's, once in the 90's with Mercyful Fate, then again recently (last month), and you're right. His vocals this last time were so awesome compared to any other time I've seen him. All of his shows have been great but this last time I saw him, his singing was just too awesome to describe.

If he can sing this good live, imagine what i sounds like in the studio! :o But we got a taste of his voice on Volbeat's "Room 24", and that was a couple of years ago, so I think he is even better now :) Twice in the 80s?
