My experience with this song is such a classic Periphery journey for me. It's "Damn, that's cool but I don't get it yet" at first, then discovering all the beautiful nooks and crannies with repeated runs, and now I'm in the "so fcking cool and beautiful, I'm alternating between tearing up and dancing in the middle of the supermarket" phase, before it will probably end up in the "all time favorite" drawer that is *so* full with Periphery songs that using the word "favorite" is kinda pointless.

Most of the time people just don't realize or don't want to put in several hours per day to get to this level but that's what it takes.

Talent is incredibly overrated, a lesson my content ass had to learn the hard way. After almost 20 years of drumming and stagnating for a good portion of that, I went from mediocre to a really decent and technical level within 4 months. By practicing for hours a day, virtually every day. Weird things happen to your brain and body when you intensely focus one just a few specific things for a long time. Sometimes it actually feels like my left hand takes over dominance for short time periods and specific tasks and stuff like that. I love my current freelance job, but at 37, I'm gonna put everything into motion to become a professional drummer. It's obviously a *ton* of work, but it doesn't actually feel like it, because I love drumming more than anything. And Matt is one of the reasons I could finally unleash that force and will within me. Periphery - Love that shit.

8:47 not me waiting the whole track for this part

Obviously I'm in awe throughout the entire video but the last two minutes are just absolutely insane. He is going fucking CRAZY. He is an unstoppable force, anime levels of incredible power. Like he literally ascends to a god in the last breakdown. He will be known as one of the greats of the last decade, without a doubt. This is top tier drumming, and top tier Periphery. Holy fucking shit.

watched this about 8 times now. I have no plans to stop. the production quality is mind blowing

Really never thought I'd hear a rimshot section a song in 2023, really fucking happy I did though because holy shit that's a lost art. So many drummers are absolutely obsessed with learning gravity blasts and it's impressive but a lot of other techniques fall away, when you find the right part for it like in this song it's *very nice*

Easily in my top 3 favorite drummers. I learn so much from him whenever I hear/see him play.

This song could reach half an hour...and listeners would get fully hypnotized after minute 22.....pure atmosphere!

I just realised the vocal part from Atropos in this song , wow so many throwbacks and Easter eggs in this record.

It’s interesting that you mention breaking cymbals. I had a lesson with Matt maybe 10 years ago and he mentioned the diagonal slicing motion he uses massively cuts down on damaging cymbals. You can still swing hard at your cymbals but your gear will last longer at the same time!

I live watching Matt play. His movements are so fluid and looks effortless. It’s obvious just from watching him play how much fun he has and truly enjoys playing.

Cymbals see Matt coming and they’re like oh fuuuuckkkk

Mindblowing every time I watch Matt. A true drumming master. How does he remember all the details for every song?

What a Master I got to see and meet in Myrtle Beach, SC - Hard Rock Cafe - in 2012.

I think whenever the term “best” is used it should only be for a specific thing…like technique, speed, ability to handle odd times, etc. But when it comes to drums overall and how they are part of the music as an artistic expression, I don’t think you can declare an objective best.
