Uff!! 🔥 the best part is while we ALL know Matt could have chopped over a lot of the spaces, he did not and when he did it was SOOOO TASTEFULLY done! Love it Matt and Vic Firth! 👏

@@robintarket6844 GARSTKA WAS VERY TIGHT AND MADE NICE END BREAKS AND SPICY VARIATIONS TOO NOTABLY WITH HI HAT OPENINGS. HE DIDNT ATTRACT ALL THE ATTENTION AND THAT'S AN HONORABLE ATTITUDE IN A BAND. BUT STILL, I DISCOVERED THIS PERCUSSIONIST AND IS QUITE RARE TO MASTER AT THAT TOP LEVEL AFRICAN AND AFROCUBAN PERCUSSION WITH HAND AND EVEN STICK (ON COWBELLS). TRYING IT MYSELF, I CAN MEASURE THE WORK, CONSIDERING THE FACT I FOCUS A LOT ON DRUMSET AND NOTICE THAT HAND PERCUSSION ON SEVERAL INSTRUMENTS DEMANDS LOT OF STRENGTH AND ENERGY AND HURT HANDS (THE GUY IS COURAGEOUS AND STRONG TOO). AT 52 I AVOID TO PLAY CONGAS TO NOT HURT MY FINGERS AND SPARE FOR DRUMSET PLAYING (INCLUDING COWBELLS AND IMITATING CONGAS WITH STICKS ON TOMS AND SNARE DRUM).
I LOVE how Matt stays in that pocket then bursts the hell out of it with fury as if to say "Don't worry... I can burn too". My boy Weedie killing it on congas/djembe as usual!
a room full of such amazing musicians. and a room full of people that can clap in time! can't even imagine witnessing this in person. absolute stellar work!!

Love the nod to Fela Kuti in this one. 🇳🇬💚
There is just something about 2:30 - 2:50 that gives me goosebumps every time. So much musicality. Matt is something else
Matt is just so amazing, absolutely my favorite drummer. He can play any genre with finesse and expertise!
Matt Garstka you the legend !
It’s sooooo good to see Mart Gartska play outside of his normal genre and still show his high level of musicianship. Also, the lineup of musicians on stage with him are bomb squad 👌🏾
Matt is such a complete drummer. Zero holes in his game! 👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The true musician listens as he plays with others and takes a step back to give importance to the Music they are playing together, more than to his drum-ego. Hat off to Matt!! Brilliant!
Such a great combo of musicians in the room!!! It is amazing, when we come together, what we can produce. Looking forward to the rest of the VFjams series!
Vic Firth, Thank you for putting these on! Can't wait for more!
I so desperately wish this was on Spotify, this would be SO GOOD on my daily mix! Everyone killed it, quality work!

Killer band, and Matt slays as per usual. Looking forward to more of these!
This is amazing thank you so much Vicfirth
Nice work Matt.playing the music with the band with the dynamics and a great ending demonstrating what pure experience puts forth.
damn we also got Aaron Spears, Luke Holland, Jessica Burdeaux, Adam Tuminaro in the house.... there's a lot of talent in that room. Incredible.
Great Job everyone..... Matt, always a pleasure to see ya in action.... You have definitely grown so much since berklee bro. AMAZING JOB
Such beautiful music. Really enjoyed!
Matt is a beast.... He is one of the best drummer...
I CAN'T WAIT FOR ALL EPISODES
The trip the hand percussionist makes from 5:45 to 5:54 ! So awesome... And love that outro so much from 5:05 !!!
I love this arrangement! The 3/4 section felt very laid back and it was relaxing actually!
How can anyone dislike musicianship?! Amazing stuff from everyone!
Saw Matt Gartska live in Asheville, NC with Animals. Was the greatest experience ever.
Wow! That's what it's all about! That's music! Wow just wow, Vic Firth, Great Idea!
What a badass session. Amazing
Top Notch performance, you really gotta love this!!
This is the best video i have seen for a while
This was incredible!
Very disciplined drumming on this vid to that fact that it was extra tastefully done. Wasnt one bit overplayed. After watching a few vids of Matt garska I would definitely say he has become one of my favorite drummers. Excellent video and amazing skills everyone
Loved this soooooo good!
Kicked it off with my favorite drummer right now. And I can't wait for Devon, Sarah, and Benny.
When you realise Aaron Spears, Kaz Rodriguez and the Orlando Drummer are all just sitting their watching :O

The perfection of matt groovstka.
Very cool stuff vic firth.
Groovy jam folks, groovy groovy jam x')
Sooooooooooooooooooooo funky and fantastic!!!
This guy's a beast!
Not even butter is as buttery smooth as this!!!!
Just came from Aaron Spears' Zildjian live. Just can't get enough of Sput's work.
what an interesting fresh idea show....and matt garstka for the 1st one....awesome
That is INSANE!! Matt meets snarky, it's a dream.
Holy shit. My two favourite drummers and fav guitarist in the same place playing together. Jeez. Also Sly killed the bari solo
Yes. More. Please
Slaaaayiing. A humble persona but a beast behind the kit.
My goodness Matt's kit sound great and is recorded really well too.
Seemed like Egypt 80', after the departure of Tony Allen and the leadership of Lekan Animashaun. Loved It!
Stunning performance, what a tasty jam! One performance a month got me sad a bit, other than that - excited all the way
JOE BE KILLING THAT BASS! 🔥

Yofran Tovar YES THANK YOU SAYING THAT!
I was blown away at the first snare hit
Dig the Fela vibe from most of these tracks! i hope we can recognize some afrobeat drummers soon there are plenty and very talented
We have to wait until Dec 4th to see Mark play? This is such a cool idea, but you guys are killing me making me wait that long!
3:05 where is the hihat opening?
Wowzers,that was good.
That was a unbelievable performance. Great band - lovely to see Vic Firth focusing on music not just drumming - Any chance these arrangements will be released minus drums!?!? 😉
This is soooo killing😵😵
WOOOO this one's cookin!
Damn nice! Perfect!
pretty sure he's gonna be one of the greatest *JK* he already is the greatest
I luv the vf jams love you stanly Benny grebs and mastike love you all its just good music
I was like heck yea Vic Firth!!! but then i saw how long i have to wait for mark guiliana :(
that was SICK
Senseiz in the room😎 POWER SET!
So crazy!
Can they write an album? This music was awesome! Also that percussionist. Man he was sick!
That last minute tho. This guy is a machine.
This Video makes me hope one day for Matt Gartska to appear on a Snarky Puppy album one day, even if it was just one song. This is incredible
amazing!
I would pay any amount of money to sit there with headphones on!!!
When you play on "animal as leaders",you can play everything.
Weedie Braimah absolutely on fire on percussion!!!! Awesome!
Just realized Matt gave us an easter egg before the release of Cosmic Liberty by writing the names of the songs on the album onto his china.
Fantastic
That looks like it was a lot of fun
He’s truly musical and not trying to show off!
This was fire! Cant wait for Benny Greb
I know this is a drum video,but man that Sax solo was awesome! Matt killed it though! Nice job everyone
Amazing~
I honestly love Matty G😭
I have no idea what I'm listening to, but it's sick. and so is that left handed bass player 🤘
What a beast
Killin🔥🔥🔥🔥
I definitely need more Garstka jazz...
its amamzing
My head just exploded with this snare sound. So tasty
GENIAL :D SIMPLEMENTE ESTA GENIAL
Tooop lembrar-se bateras unidos jamais será vencidos ☕ muito bom.
