Appreciate you man. I might be asking too much.... But can you please do "The Narrative" next. Ive been trying to learn it and watching the man himself would be immense help.
I hope you are doing well Matt. I heard about your divorce, Judging by your smiles and happy faces when you are playing it seams you are handling things well, but I know often the happiest faces are the saddest people. You may not know it but you mean a lot to your fans. Some blessings come soon, some come late. But for those who help others, they come. And you’ve helped me. Thanks Matt.
*later*, not late ;) I didn’t know about this. I’m sorry, Matt. If you read this, I’d like to encourage you, though - I went through a divorce about 12 years ago, and the things that I’ve learned about myself and God and human nature and and and...... wisdom/understanding that few, if any, college courses will teach you. Keep your head up. Cheers!
@@lairhab I don't mean this in a rude manner but its not really your business to know. Plus, Matt seems happy with his new girlfriend on social media now though and that's all that matters.
Matt’s mad sick behind the kit.. this whole band has sick musicians. August Burns Red blends, low end crushing licks, groovy rhythm with beautiful and melodic lead harmonics with and without tapping and there’s not many metal bands that can combine all those particular elements creating some quality records at the highest levels instrumentally… Tbh I just recently started to check out August Burns Red a few days ago. And the drum videos are what got me interested to give a record or two a listen in it’s entirety.. and I enjoyed the music. I love the groovy atmospheric vibe that you guys put into the rhythm guitar riffs and definitely Matt’s drum playing style.. and it’s pulled off masterfully on every album that I have listened to so far… some people just are born with the ability to slay behind a drum kit.. like predetermined musical instrument destiny.. When a metal band is capable of creating incredible groove that makes you move and headbang to the track instantly It makes it a precious gem amongst a sea of mediocrity in a lot of metal music anymore… so much stuff that is recommended both on here and on my Spotify playlists just bore me and I lose interest.. clean tremolo intro Build up to heavy melodic multi stage rhythm and lead guitar riffing Crushing super low breakdown Similar melodic riffing Repetitive sweeping , tapping , sweep tapping, that ultimately is poorly written with no actual solo. Just a harmonic scale or two played at the highest speed of the player possible and toss in a few ascending and descending whammy dives Back to multi stage heavy melodic riffing into same low end single note or open string breakdown and close the song out that way.. So much metal follows that foundation for writing a song…
Matt is such an amazing drummer. He's not the fastest metal drummer, but his control and precision is incredibly. He serves the music. Truly one of the best drummers to ever grace our ears.
I saw August burns Red play with Texas in July in Montreal at the metropolis in 2012- they both were amazing!! Much love to these guys! 🤘 Two of my fav bands at the same show, what a trip.
Dude it really does make a difference. If White Washed comes on, my next mile is a minute faster lol. Seriously though, I listened to the new ABR during my run two days ago and did two miles. My first mile was my fastest recorded since high school and I graduated in 09.
@Benjamin Malave Jr. I think it’s easy to gain appreciation from an instrumental album just as much as a regular one. I’m not arguing, but I perceive feelings differently from the two. They are two separate experiences. And it’s more content so why the hell not make an instrumental album, right?
@Benjamin Malave Jr. Oh Jake's the man, how could you not love that grownling teddy bear, but like @Malfurion said, sometimes when I'm at work, I just play the instrumental albums in the back. It's a bit more difficult to work when Jakes angelic voice overwhelms your lack of focus and next thing you catch yourself growling with coworkers raising eyebrows ;)
This song makes me want to cry.. it’s just that good... everything about it.. drums.. vocals.. guitar.. bass.. the melodies.. the breakdowns.. it’s perfect
LUV ME SUM ABR, got 2 see em live in Louisville KY sum years bk & I remember when Matt made his entrance, every one went kray, such talent from the whole band but Matt is definitely special on the kit
Hey Matt, I stopped drumming like about 10-12 years ago. But watching your video uploads has made me wanna get back into it! I’m currently saving up for a drum set. Thanks for your vids man !
I’ve been listening to you guys religiously since 2008. I thank God every day for bringing you together to make sweet beautiful music. You fellas stay safe and keep it up! Loving Guardians and Standing in the Storm!
Dude... the accuracy in this performance and the drum tunning/sound mixing (whether on purpose or not) makes this a so-easy-to-follow drum play through... awsome job man 👊
Feb 22 sundown thru feb 25th sundown all saints of the Lord Jesus Christ are fasting and asking the Lord to pour out the Holy spirit upon us to give us supernatural gifts and discernment and direction In this final hour. War is being waged on believers . We must unite as one body of Christ!
So awesome to watch, Matt! You guys continually progress and evolve and never disappoint. Was supposed to see you last April but the world got sidetracked... We’ll see you guys back out there soon!
I was already in TH-cam watching some dumb video, and I had never clicked on a different video as quickly as I did once I got the notification that this uploaded. Honestly my favorite track on the record!
Excellent work. My struggle is how do you remember the 'roadmap' of the song - it seems all over the place. Just pure practice, practice, practice? Counting in your head? ARE YOU JUST A GENIOUS??
MATT ,YOUR CHOICES WITHIN THIS TREATMENT ARE ABSOLUTELY EPIC BRO......LOVE YOUR ARTISTRY WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF YOUR ORCHESTRATION ON YOUR KIT BUDDY.....KEEP DEFINING YOUR AWESOMENESS MATT.....YOUR LIGHT CONTINUES TO SHINE BRIGHT .....IT WOULD BE GREAT TO CATCH UP SOMETIME AGAIN MATT !!!! :)
Some of the absolute best-sounding playthroughs I have ever heard.... been jamming them daily for almost the last year and can't get enough of em'! For the love of the lord could you possibly please do Icarus as a playthrough? I'd say I'd pay you back by giving you back the drumsticks you gave me when I helped you pack up your kit long ago in Lubbock, Texas.... but then I'd have to take them from my 1yo son who uses them behind my kit sitting with me to lightly play around.... hoping your magic rubs off on him... and I mean... we can't be taking from the children!? 😂 All the best to you and those you love brotha! Keep up the amazing work and these amazing videos, PLEASE!🤘
Thanks for watching. Appreciate you all.
Your playthroughs are so clean it’s insane. \m/ keep up the great stuff man.
You’re amazing, Matt ❤️
Appreciate you man. I might be asking too much.... But can you please do "The Narrative" next. Ive been trying to learn it and watching the man himself would be immense help.
Simply amazing.
No thank you! Appreciate the incredible entertainment. Much love from Florida. ❤️
He uses every single piece of the kit at every second it’s awesome!
Except the bell by his hihat rarely gets touched. Its always that bell on his ride. Well except this song. But i feel bad for other bell
Matt Greiner wakes up his alarm clock

He divorced? How do you know? Cant find anything about it on the internet
@@lairhab I don't mean this in a rude manner but its not really your business to know. Plus, Matt seems happy with his new girlfriend on social media now though and that's all that matters.
I haven’t even started playing it yet and I’ve already liked the video. “Ties That Bind” is one of the best tracks on the new record.

clean tremolo intro
Build up to heavy melodic multi stage rhythm and lead guitar riffing
Crushing super low breakdown
Similar melodic riffing
Repetitive sweeping , tapping , sweep tapping, that ultimately is poorly written with no actual solo. Just a harmonic scale or two played at the highest speed of the player possible and toss in a few ascending and descending whammy dives
Back to multi stage heavy melodic riffing into same low end single note or open string breakdown and close the song out that way..
So much metal follows that foundation for writing a song…
Matt is such an amazing drummer. He's not the fastest metal drummer, but his control and precision is incredibly. He serves the music. Truly one of the best drummers to ever grace our ears.
All time fav drummer. Super humble guy. Ill never forget the time he tossed a stick to me then signed it. God bless MG
Nothing better than a Matt Greiner drum cover by Matt Greiner!.
Love watching Matt play. So precise, so clean, such perfect posture, and you can tell he's feeling the music. Much love ABR
I saw August burns Red play with Texas in July in Montreal at the metropolis in 2012- they both were amazing!! Much love to these guys! 🤘 Two of my fav bands at the same show, what a trip.
That kick drum sound though!
Texas is going through a tough time right now but I’m happy Matt posted a video
The best grooves in the game.
Nah
this is so clean i´m crying
Hands down my favorite track from this album 🙌🙌🙌 I wish there was a music video for this song
I'm here from the future to tell you your wish was granted lol
my running playlist is mainly august burns red. love the energy
Dude it really does make a difference. If White Washed comes on, my next mile is a minute faster lol. Seriously though, I listened to the new ABR during my run two days ago and did two miles. My first mile was my fastest recorded since high school and I graduated in 09.
Never stopped binding my ties that fast.
there you have it folks, the greatest of all time
Holy jesus! Matt is one of the cleanest drummers on the core scene by far
That breakdown gotta be one of my favorites on the album
Still hoping there will be an instrumental version of the whole album... maybe? please?
There will be, just be patient.

There always is exactly a year after each release
Way to go Matt you totally killed them drums bro
Favorite song from Guardians, and one of my favorite ABR songs of all time 🤘🏼
Incredibly solid playing.
One of the only bands where I can be submerged in musical perfection with, or without lyrics. Beautiful 🙏🤠

A true master of his craft. His fills are just amazing.
I love this band man..
Matt is flat out on of the best drummers I've ever seen and heard play.
That breakdown gives me life. Thank you ABR. Thank you Matt.
Best metalcore drummer out there those fucking drum patterns and time signatures and the breakdowns fuuuuuck
These playthroughs are of high production! Matt kills it every time.
So good! Please release the full album with Matt play throughs
Master of the Game man, incredible skill.

The cleanest metal drums I've ever heard I'm addicted to this music.

You are simply mastermind in this business.
Dude... the accuracy in this performance and the drum tunning/sound mixing (whether on purpose or not) makes this a so-easy-to-follow drum play through... awsome job man 👊
So sick. Drummers everywhere aspire to be like you, Matt. Keep it up.
The whole song is hard to play on drums, but you play as if you are doing yoga. Absolute beast and still humble.
I absolutely love this song because of the drumming!!!!
How can someone not like this. That’s skills.
Love that splash
Every move, every sound is excellent. Favourite song!
Matt did you know I’ve been always trying to become a really good drummer and I’ve been loving the drums in my whole entire life
If I had three wishes, then one of them would definitely be, being a drum stick of Matt Greiner!
Just amazing
...Como falamos aqui no Brasil : "ANIMAL"... "MONSTRO"... "ESSE É O CARA" !!!....
SIM
SIM
Muito matemático!
Esse é muito foda heim!!!
Great song. Great drummer. Great band.
Matt being Matt!! You're awesome, dude!!
I love the accented off beats on the snare just shows how precise Matt is 🤘🏼
0:58-1:04 is so fucking sick lol
the master strikes again!!
Both him and Blake Richardson have strong alternating 16th's techniques!
Just like always, incredible work man! It's nice to see your drumming maturing along the years and still being amazing. God bless!
Favorite song from Guardians! Been waiting for this!
Awesome 🤘🤘
An absolute monster on the kit
Best song on the album. And dare I say, one of my top 5.
Dat snare sounds crisp as heck
Amazing. Such ability.
Your creativity..... Mind-blowing!
So clean, so precise.
Best drummer on earth, hands down.
Thank you for your music. Much love 💚
Masterful drumming
Who are the 11 people who didn't like this video? This is masterful.

Such a beast!
He is incredible

Wow Matt that was SWEET!!!
I was already in TH-cam watching some dumb video, and I had never clicked on a different video as quickly as I did once I got the notification that this uploaded.
Honestly my favorite track on the record!
The Narrative next, please!!!
This is so sick it’s not even fair. I think I realized what drew me like ABR. Keep crushing it bro!
Beautiful drumming ❤
Awesome playthrough as always Matt!
Excellent work. My struggle is how do you remember the 'roadmap' of the song - it seems all over the place. Just pure practice, practice, practice? Counting in your head? ARE YOU JUST A GENIOUS??
love all the hand held camera effects. makes it feel more alive. even tho i know no one is holding the camera on the floor :P
MATT ,YOUR CHOICES WITHIN THIS TREATMENT ARE ABSOLUTELY EPIC BRO......LOVE YOUR ARTISTRY WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF YOUR ORCHESTRATION ON YOUR KIT BUDDY.....KEEP DEFINING YOUR AWESOMENESS MATT.....YOUR LIGHT CONTINUES TO SHINE BRIGHT .....IT WOULD BE GREAT TO CATCH UP SOMETIME AGAIN MATT !!!! :)
