His double bass is a little sloppy, and he does a lot of rim shots in the same spot on the rim keeping the head more localized on the head

He doesn't simply hit the snare, he unconsciously hits ONLY the center. Dude's alien. One of the best techniques the world has seen.

They do. I began with the guitar, then moved to drumming, and have come full-circle back to embracing my original passion - the guitar. It's wonderful to dabble in both worlds, and helps populate your mind with ideas while considering how both the drums and guitar can co-exist and play off of, and with, one another. Though, I've spent FAR more time with the guitar, and, needless to say, Garstka is mind-blowing. He is a drummer's drummer. And a guitarist's dream.

Matt.... holy-hell is that tight! Nice composition. Big fan, buddy....

I like to check in once or twice a month just to revisit how ridiculously good this is!! Lol

I want to see them in the writing process. Landing all the insane time sig changes .it's incredible

to the guy who says that the drums should sound like matts drums on the chon album, that drum sound is PERFECT for chon with cleaner less distorted guitars, but if you place the distortion and heaviness of animals sound with tosin and Javier's heavy ass deep 8 string guitars, those drums on the chon will not sound good. It sounds good to you in the context you heard it, imagine those drums sounds on tooth and claw or wave of babies or tempting time or mind spun, that chon drum sound will sound super weak. That's my personal opinion but I think most people would agree. There's a reason why deep booming sounding drums work best with heavy music and more natural garage style sounding drums work best with mellow chill music.

This was djust perfect.

he is so in control and it is so bloody ridiculously obvious that all of this is absolutely a cake walk and that he doesnt have to use any effort, mentally or physically to execute it flawlessly, that it just makes it hard to truly estimate just how fucking far behind any of us really are from anything close to his skill level

I love this song

Fragging BEEAAASSTT !!! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉

If there's one thing I just can't seem to pull off, it's that constant left foot counting time on the hi-hat. Jay Postones does it as well, it must be something ingrained from formative years because adding that foot to songs this complex just does my head in

I really wish I knew what it's like to be a living cheat code for percussion. Matt G. is the very definition of unfair.

Such a beast.

if I learned to drum like that, no one in my class would complain
