Not a single member of their band misses a beat or a note live. That is musicianship with such technical songs.

I sometimes question if his upper half is even connected to his legs.

For all who do not know: Matt wrote the lyrics to Provision. He had a "friend" who he invested a lot of his money in this company. While they were touring in Sweden he got a call from the FBI basically saying that he had lost so much money, though he already knew it. He was very sad and felt guilty for what he did, so while he was jogging atop a mountain in Germany, he wrote down this very song. He wrote "I am just as much the problem as the man behind bars. He did with his business what I do in my heart." That is basically to say, why think yourself above someone else just because they did an immoral thing? Many people do not know, but Matt writes a lot of ABR's lyrics.

He is of the 1% of metal core drummers that doesn't look like an emo preteen!! Mad props brosef! That was cleaner than ... well, something that was.. idk, really clean. Screw it I suck at analogies.

Sometimes metalcore drumming can be very limited without making it sound overdone. But he just puts in so much effort to make sure it isn't like everything everyone hears. Proud of this drummer. Keep it up matt!

I aspire to be like Matt Greiner. He is everything I love about percussion in one solid performer. His grove and technicality are so on point, and so crisp, that he just brings an original work in all of his songs. I would love to one day be somewhere close to his level, but as a 17 year old drummer with 5 years under his belt, I have a LOOOONG way to go haha

Saw them play this live last November and it was as old as the album . One of the best live shows I’ve seen

The straightest back in the world; Matt Greiner

Mr. Matt Greiner, you are RIDICULOUS ! one of the best for sure !

To view a closeup of the bells that Matt used in the video please click the link in the video description.

He is so perfect his style is unmatched

Whos thumbs down this? Even if you hate the band, you gotta recognize that talent. That's no easy drumming at all. Pretty awesome!

Super talented, love watching this guy! He wrote the lyrics for this song too!

when I saw him live changed my life forever. perfection.

I just keep coming back to this playthrough. This is, by far, Matt's best work.

Oh yeah, that's why Matt Greiner is my favorite drummer. That's right.

absolutely killer. one of my favorite metal drummers. i always learn something new from watching a video of him

one of best drummers that i have seen in my life

Matt, you never stop impressing me. Every time I watch a video of you drumming I'm left speechless. You are one of the greatest drummers if the modern age by far. Keep doing what you're doing.

How does he even come up with all this... a true master !!

What a throwback I remember when zildjian first released this 👌

Matt G is a very good drum writer and drummer. Matt Halpern is NOT overrated, he deserves all the hype he gets, just like this guy

Straight up the most amazing thing ive ever seen.

One of my favorite ABR songs. I think this is some of Matt's best work.

What gets me is how effortlessly he does this. Amazing.

Just fantastic!!!

Matt Greiner in studio.. Best videos in youtube.

loving the variety of techniques and fills used :)

Matt Halpern, Matt Garstka, and Matt Greiner. It's kinda weird how 3 of the top drummers in today's metal scene have the same first name.

appreciate his time and precise playing ,,the blast best and hand technique awesume

Matt is by far my favourite drummer

Favorite song from this album!!

You don't even have to be a drummer to appreciate the insane skill that Matt Greiner possesses. Heck I would listen to just tracks of him drumming.

Oh my god o_o YES. I love these videos of Matt playing! ^^

Wow Matt is an amazing drummer in an amazing band wishing those guys the best

Matt Greiner. Words couldn't describe what he can do. What he has done ever since the beginning is just pure influential and brilliant. I would wish him best of luck but he doesn't need that.

You know, it's not even just the fact that he is talented enough to play this that gets me, it's that he's crazy enough to write it! Man he's good! Hard to beat perfection, but I'm sure he will try!

I really love the short blastbeat-part at 0.52!! I enjoy this so much :D

Matt!!! U r a beautiful person!!!

Matt is my role model in everything in my life.

Best Drum cover ever!!! wait...

How can anyone dislike this? The Matt shows so much passion and emotion playing this, giving it 110%! He wrote this song for the band, it's to the dude who stole Matt's money under the financial crisis (Go fck yourself whoever you are), this is seriously touching my soul. And the snare he built (which he is using in this vid) sounds killer! Biggest inspiration, wouldn't have gotten into this genre without Matt Greiner!

You fucking rock bro, you are really talented!

Matt Greiner stands out, and I see him as talented What makes him stand out is the way he adds his own drumming to compliment the rest of ABR's talented musicians. Doing such complicated/difficult things doesn't make someone talented, at least imo.

You know how people act when they hear an amazing diss in a roast session. I was like that for all of this

Matt ur are a legend...

The color on the kit looks like a set I used to have called sparkling champagne. They look great in lights👍

matt griener signature bell! I would buy that in a second!

I don't know if it's just me, but my favorite thing about his kit is that his bells are STILL unlathed after all of these years

He plays very well but it is so fun watching guys play 16th notes on the hi hat
