Assuming they didn't use extra samples under the snare sound, the snare sound surely gets close to what I (and probably many drummers) call 'perfection'. It's this robust, full scope, explosion of fat midrange gunshots. Granted, the whole drum mix sounds fucking killer. I'm not surprised if Adam Getgood mixed this, he's also mixed their albums (and Devin Townsend's last two, which sounds the best ever). The guy's maybe on of the best pop/rock/metal mixers on the planet, he makes everything sounds impressive, fat, yet beautifully balanced and with every instrument still sounding crystal clear ( I know it's subjective, but still). That's really hard to accomplish.

Matt is the guy that teaches metronomes how to stay on time.

+Will12 Will12 Ghost notes are often described as notes that aren't heard but felt, you can definitely hear them though. They're those extra quieter hits on the snare in between the accented/loud hits he makes.

As a drummer I can tell you that hitting that hihat on times with the foot is really annoying to play, if you are not a fan of jazz (cause that's very common in that genre). Also he uses some really cool dynamics on the hands. I love his play style.

It´s not :D you just need to get used to playing your hihat continously with your left foot. afterwards your timing, expecially speaking for odd meters, improves drastically.

There's somthing very special about his playing that can really inspire you to push the limits of your own playing ..Halpern is the Neil peirt of the modern day drummer .he has raised the bar and set a standard we can only chase .

Great lesson on drum mic'ing just from observing this setup. Love the near-coincident pair sitting behind Matt.

Man. Just love how this guy makes everything look so effortless...

So good! That last beat is perfection.

I'm a guitarist of 30 years experience and I still sit in awe at amazing drummers like this.

The only guy I’ve ever seen who plays the drums with the same skill that a surgeon has with a scalpel yet looks like a 5 year old playing for the first time. My mind is blown by this oxymoron.

I love how much fun he has when he plays. Truly one of the masters of this Era.

I just absolutely love seeing people having so much fun doing the thing they love and do best.

I will never tire of this timeless classic.

Wow, the song itself its a masterpiece but videos of the playing also shows the amazing skill and heart you guys put to create those epic fusions of melody, sound and chaos

Him is one of the few drummers that actually make you feel good by the joy he feels when its playing

Yeah Man I came back to this. It rocked my socks and Matt is a solid player.

Can't say this enough, true art form and licks that are well played!!!

Without a doubt My Fav drummer of all time! Just cant get enough of his grooves.

Agradeço a esses caras como Matt Halpern, Matt Garstka e outros desse grande estilo, djent. Esses caras fizeram mudar toda minha percepção rítmica musical.

I love how into it he is, his movements seem to be very fluid, awesome performance and a great drummer nm

Now we just need a Mark and Jake play-through!

Matt absolutely murders this play through!!!? Dayummmmm. So sick. Dude is insane

Absolutely falling in love with this mans music.

The king of ghost notes! awesome playthrough, I'm watching this for the 5th time

He plays with so much energy, it's inspiring, and I'm not even a drummer.

fucking sexy snare and that crazy/solo part + the ending part... I don't know if anyone else than a drummer can know how amazing this guy fucking is

I'm convinced the digits of pi are lurking there in the subtleties of Halpern's facial expressions. I'm not even a drummer, but I tune in to any of his vids, he's an amazing player!

These playthroughs are awesome, keep em comin!

catchy chorus. It's amazing how the music grows to the end

So thankful for this. I am learning how to play this note for note and I started by just using the album; thank you KZread! Now I can see what stickings he is using and where his cymbals are.

These videos are amazing!! keep them coming guys!

Great production and playing all around. Love any drum play through dealing with nollys drum sounds along with Meinl cymbals.

One of my favorite songs!!!

i love those quiet snare rolls in some of peripherys songs its so nice (they also do it on toms aswell)

what i like about matt, is the fact that he gets so into his beats

I can’t help but get emotional watching this dude play.

Was at work all night waiting for this to be posted up!!!

Thanks! It really helps demonstrate the trickier fills I was having some troubles deciphering!

In my imagination all drummers are amazing glorious octopuses with incredible coordination and dexterity and rhythm. Matt is straight killing that groove. Phenomenal. Hell everyone in periphery just slays, but Matt's drumming just punches it home that these guys are exceptionally talented and unstoppable.

Great job, Matt and company. ANUUUUUUPPPPP.

Great drum playthrough

The smile on his face says it all. A true inspiration.

Good god that snare! My favorite by far! What a solid drummer man! So fluid and such groove. I bob with him lol

So precise and accurate!

Groovy af, so good!

more guitar playthroughs PLEASE!!!

He's getting so into it at the end, fucking awesome to see

What he does to those cymbals at 5:01 is absolutely perfect

Damn that snare sounds SO good

awesome drummer with skill and feeling!

I enjoy watching Matt play PIII songs even more after watching the documentary where he said he had to work on his kicks because he was used to mainly using his right foot, and this album was going to require a lot of footwork he wasn't used to.
