@@EverythingisFire Their music is something that has definitely grown on me over time. As a musician, I have always appreciated and respected their talent, but in the last 2 or 2 1/2 years, I've really become a fan instead of just appreciating it without getting into it. Same thing happened to me with Meshuggah. When I first heard them back in the early 2000's, I couldn't really wrap my head around their stuff and didn't have much interest in anything that wasn't in a straight 4/4 groove that I could nod along to, but over time as I've studied and practiced more and become a better drummer and all around musician I've come to truly enjoy the music. To be fair, back in 2000-ish, I was still a huge Limp Bizkit fan, so my tastes have certainly evolved and (in my opinion) improved vastly over the decades since.

@@juliuswaxman3758 I just got home from seeing them. Jesus...Christ! I solely went to watch a guitar & drum clinic but that was really enjoyable. It almost sounded like Matt wasn't mic'd. He's a very powerful drummer! Probably one of the best sounding live snare's I've heard in recent memory.

Been calling Matt a Modern Great for a while now. Far Advanced. This man literally goes down in history as one of the world's greatest drummers in the legacy of musicians while still be fairly young. Not just because he's able to perform and come up with the baddest drum grooves and rhythms, not only because his schooling and dedication to the craft beyond the grind of a musician sleeping in a van to perform the gigs, but he's also teaching viewers on his website and still elevating his already amazing skills keeping everything fresh. As an indirect student from his website any time I even see Matt, it's time to hit the kit and workout the second I get off work. He signed my Byzance Crash and he inspires me as a practitioner to keep reaching for that feel and tightness and its helped me perform with awesome artists learning from the way he educates students. I hope this guy keeps skyrocketing as a person and as an honorary dedicated composing drummer. Edit: "Quite My Tempo." 🔥

Yup I listened to that. Just peeves how amazing he is

Matt is the king of drumming. He even walks like he's been riding a horse his whole life because he sits on his throne so often.

I was a “serious dedicated drummer” all my youth- turned to hardcore bodybuilding in my 20s and 30s- now retired and back to my first passion- and this video hit all the right spots. The tension building during the montage, hoping he would be back in time for his cue- and of course, the “power bro walk down the hall”- it has been so cool to watch Mr. Gartska grow and evolve over this last decade. Nothing makes my soul happier than true “earned arrogance”. Thank you, Matt.

Good lord Matt is an animal. Just so damn rhythmically fluent. He obviously holds the time crystal and is just toying with the rest of us mere mortals. He likes to push and pull at the edges, then coyly pull back the curtain and give us glimpses of what we could do with time and rhythm. If we we didn't all suck.

Fuck I was hoping he’d do this. My favorite song on the album.

Garstka beast getting better and bigger every year. Hard work, discipline and in the case of this man ridiculous amounts of talent.

Thoroughly enjoyed Matt’s playthroughs for this album, I can already say at least for me he is my playthrough artist for 2022

Matt's got that workout waddle going. Killing it on the kit as always!

I was really waiting for this ! Favorite song of the album, and what a performance !

I'm so glad that Matt is in our lives.

Probably my favorite playthrough of their songs. Also my favorite so far from the album❤️

Favorite track off the album! That build up in the middle is great story telling

Woah...almost caught a glimpse of Metal Matt when he tossed those shades on.

What a pleasure to watch and hear. Thank you!

So glad I can finally see this song performed, this made my day.

I waited so long for this one! My favorite off the album

Way above my pay grade as a drummer but Garstka steps up and does it for us...in between trips to the store and sips on a latte. One of the best!

Such a musical player - really appreciate getting to focus on what he does for the song here. Hilarious coffee break! He used to look & sound (voice) like a little happy kid. Now the whole band is buff like video-game creatures wielding giant axes & hammers - and they sound like it.

Tremendo. No solo tenés que ser habilidoso. Sino también la capacidad de crear esta pieza musical con la batería, y encima recordar pieza por pieza. Y ni hablar que ya tiene un par de temas en el repertorio. What a memory! Su cerebro está en otro nivel, musicalmente hablando.

The groove near the end between the bass drums and the stacks is soooo sweet.

2:10 reminds me of backpfeifengesicht lmao I love that METAL MATT

Matt is pushing the limits of the possibilities in music on the kit... absolutely stunning craftsmanship!

Absolutely brilliant! Cheers Matt

Cool to see behind the scenes. Matt is amazing to watch so much feel amazing drummer! 😎🤘

Always such clean playing. What an inspiration you are man

Love the video edits Matt. Team is looking good 🤘🏼🥁 Guitars and drums coming in half way through us other worldly

Best track on this unbelievable album. Amazing!

thank you for all that you do!

This is probably my favorite song on the whole album and I say that while loving every other song on the album. This one just hits different

Those cymbals looking very magical

🤣🤣🤣 loved the break in the middle....and the bass frequencies in this mix are beautiful.

Best drummer alive. As simple as that!

Many thoughts 😂: 1. I love the direction Matt took the drumming on his album. I would call it "Technically expressive, bombastic metal pocket." Manz iz creative!!! 2. I thought he was going to another kit to play the e-drum part. 😅 3. "One-take" my ash! I caught that slip at 2:06! Shoulda put your sticks down! 😂 You inspire me daily, Matt. Thank you.

These videos are the best!

Great talent, beautiful studio and very cool tie dye outfit.

man these meinl playthroughs sound phenomenal! much smoother than the other batch

2:53 the exact look my wife gives me when I say I’m staying up late to game with the boys. As a drummer, that’s the “imma bout to go hard” look.

Amazing!!

Best modern drummer out there!

My fav off new album!

He holds time in his hands, literally.

The coffee break reminded me of the Opeth video Alex and Anup did when in the middle section with no drums they drive out to get some McDonalds. Funny and refreshing

I saw animals twice in a 6 month span and they didnt play this at the first show, a show to promote the album...... I was so pissed. But luckily the second show they played it and I think the crowd also appreciated it because it got noticably different applause when the song started. its amazing.

Nooice!, Matt is a Beast and I'm going to experiment with the cotton balls in the toms trick ASAP.

1:25 this section takes me back to some places.

Go Matt! This is legendary. and damn i want coffee now

Absurdo! Toca muito..
