Thanks for the video, appreciate your input!
Hi Matt! ^_^
@Matt Greiner Greetings from 🇧🇷 :) we love ABR
Always think it’s amusing seeing you reply to reaction videos of yourself lol. Praying for you and your family brother that God will continue to provide the way he has for you guys! Keep up the good work.
This right here is exactly what I'm talking about. It doesn't matter how many albums you guys produce... doesn't matter how many sold out shows... you still keep it real with the ones that got u where u are. I'll never forget the first time I heard white washed. From "however I thank you, for this pen and ink ammunition. I thank you for the inspiration" and that breakdown put fire to my soul. I downloaded every song you guys ever pumped out and was part of my daily overseas motivation. No gym session was complete with out it. Not to mention when I was in a rough spell getting out of the Marine Corps just In the nick of time Rescue and Restore dropped... literally saved my life. I was out in the yard balling like child following lyrics to the top of my lungs. Idk what the neighbors thought but that hit me in so many ways and helped me pick my self back up in ways you could never know.. Matt thank you brother for shinning light into a genre of music that would otherwise continue to be saturated with negative energy. Keep fighting the good fight my man.. one last thing. Can we see a re imagined messengers album in the future? Or maybe chasing the dragon?
Matt your a beast! I love watching drummers react to your videos!
Matt is hands down my favorite drummer. August Burns Red got me thru multiple Afghanistan tours. There are other drummers that may surpass Matt in skill but what he and his band stand for is bar to non. Such an inspiration as a human being.. Matt Griener fo El Presidente
Thank you for your service
Constellations came out right before I went to Afghanistan, had it on my rotation the whole time. Was blasting it in the gym for an entire year
White Washed and Indonesia... Every jam on that sumbitch was flawless...Best album of all time in my opinion...
Thank you for your service, man!
I too would listen to ABR while down range brother
Love how passionate Matt is when he plays. ABR is a great band and he’s a great drummer
That super simple triplet fill that you broke down that sounded complex is an easy quick example of why I love Matt Greiner's drumming so much. Easy, punchy, in-the-pocket fills that are all based on fundamentals, yet executed in a way that makes it sound like something different and complex. He also creates some really good song structure, as he takes a huge part in the song-writing process.
"so much to remember". Always blows me away that he can remember everything and execute it to perfection night after night on tour. Pretty sure Matt ain't human tbh. How can anybody go hard like this for an hour ? Craaaaaazy stuff
I have resigned myself to the fact that I will never have chops like this. Super awesome!
Not bad for a farmer from Amish county in Pennsylvania, huh?
Point taken, but don't resign yourself to that. Matt Greiner is all about form and fundamentals. Just take that triplet fill for example, after slowing it down you see that it's a super simple fill that just sounded complex. Matt is really good at making easy drumming sound hard and complex.
@@p_s_hoffman8772 I appreciate that! I subbed your channel. Would love to see some new videos! You’re a really good drummer!
Matt is a unmatched drummer very unique!!!!
🤘🥁
So glad to hear someone that’s way better at counting in real time than me and watching Matt play and say…..”I don’t know what’s going on here…” haha
Johnny Sins knows his stuff about drums!
Love this reaction. Excellent choice of video. Matt greiner is so good, I've seen him play live 4 times and it's world class every time.
Really enjoyed the way you broke down the drumming for Matt's video, definitely wanna see more of his video breakdowns in the future! One of my favorites.
I will have to agree with you 110%
Hahaha that guitar work...JB the flip flop king 🤘🤘
#FlopCore 🤘
The section at 7.20 is the reason I love this Matt’s drumming. I get so stocked for those off beat sections whenever I hear one in a new track.
Kick ass reaction/analysis! Matt is seriously such a one of a kind drummer. His approach to writing his drum parts is so unique. Since their first album “Thrillseeker” he always stood out to me. He’s probably one of my biggest inspirations of all time, and I appreciate all his hard work because I learned so much from him. Regardless, I loved your reaction to it, and you earned yourself a sub for sure. Look forward to more of your content.
Matt has always bin my favorite drummer since the first time ive heard them almost 15 years ago. So technical and just all round impressive. Every new song i hear from him he just keeps blowing my mind.
I’m glad you took time to break down his kit at the beginning. I think he’s got one killer setup and it was fun to watch you appreciate the drip.
I always knew matt was the best he never fails to impress I have listened to August burns red for over 10 years now and always will
Wow! Never have I seen any Matt's Drum reaction video as good as yours. This is my first time coming here on your channel and I love the fact that you brrak down each and every single part. As a drummer myself and a big fan of Matt's, this is very much helpful in many ways. I can't wait to check out another reaction video from you. Subbed!
Thanks, I am glad you liked it. Matt is a great drummer!
real good video! great analysis!
Great stuff mate 🤟🏻🤙🏼
He uses the whole kit! Love the accents on the splashes and variation with all the tempo changes. What a power house! Great way of breaking the video down as well 👌
Best. Metalcore. Band. Ever.
At first this song just didn't do it for me but after listening to it for a while, this has become one of my top 5 favorite August Burns Red songs to play on drums.
Another great drummer that I had followed other than Akane! His back story really inspiring! Thank you Mr. Mike for doing this! 🥰🥰🥰
He needs to react to them ALL
Thanks for the break down on this... really nice to be able to hear the count, and what changes are happening. It’s tough for my ear to pick out anything more than 1/16 notes everywhere.
Mine too lol
I believe Matt breaks his own songs down if you’re interested. It’s a paid subscription I think. Don’t hold me to it though
Your 4:45 explanation is really great and entertaining. That drum transition kind of sounds like Matt is doing a swiss army triplet with the snare and double bass. Amazing instrumentation.
Enjoyed you breaking that down
Dude so many of these drum reaction channels barely speak as they listen. If I wanted to listen to just play-through, I would just watch the play-through. Love the lively commentary! Keep it up man! 👊🏻
Great band, and greaaaat drummer!
As a drummer, I'm always paying more attention to the drums, but I can't help but jam to the guitar riffs in this song.
Don't know if you noticed but he switched to a left foot lead at 07:54. Pretty cool detail
I did notice that when I edited this video, good catch. If you are used to playing 1/8 notes on the hi hat with the left foot, left foot lead 16th notes work well.
Ooof, hands down got to be one of the best drummers!! And and and he’s also into piano playing which is so cool (correct me if im wrong tho, i remember reading it)😊
matt really is a machine.. no doubt in anybody's mind LOL
One of my favorite songs! ❤
If you think this is great, listen to the track with vocals included. These dudes are EPIC
Also, "Extinct by Instinct" has a time signature change in it. Their transition to it and back our of it is too clean. Check it out!
I like how you explain druming
Hey man! I’m a drummer myself. Been playing for ten years. Thought you’d like to know that the two bells that Matt has were both made and designed specifically for only him by Zildjian, until recently where I’ve heard they would become their own line of bells. They are known as Zildjian K Dry Bells
Thanks for the info. That pretty sweet.
i bought mine directly from Matt, they're actually called Zildjian fx special release blast bell
he recently handed the reigns over to Zildjian, he doesn't sell them directly anymore
Matt is insane, his playing is so complex but so clean and he ALWAYS plays something that makes you do a double take with your ears, he is easily one of the greatest percussionists of our age
I see you reacted to the gods of metal. Been a fan of them since their first album.
I have no idea what's going on but I'm here for it
Please react to some of the faceless drumming particularly planetary duality and xenochrist, thanks! Love how you describe what I love about metal rhythms such as the triplet modulations!
Would love to see a video like this again but with their song Invisible Enemy. That song sounds so wild.
That fill at 8:59 is (I think) just a copy of what the guitars are playing. Matt did an incredible job at putting beats to that 👌👌
I like your feell in by part, i like to learn too, i like that man 👏
My God, I'm at his feet. How can you play so well and have such great charisma. There are a lot of insane metal drummers out there (matt garstka, chris turner, vlad ulasevich, you name it), but with him you laugh along!
wow
You have to check out his playthtough of Ties That Bind
the 🐐
I know 0% about drums but love metalcore.
However, your knowledge about drums made me instantly sub.
My old band opened for ABR I'm 2008 for several shows in Kentucky, Tennessee, and the Carolinas. They were the only band we played with where I would make sure to watch every set. The only other band I was fortunate enough to open for that blew me away with their musicianship was Misery Signals. What Matt puts on record is only a fraction of how skilled he is as a drummer, I wish he would play something out of metalcore and more in jazz so people could see how versatile he truly is.
Anyone watching this is not going to care about the thumbnail. I love the kit analysis. August Burns Red is my favorite band and the more angles I hear about them the better. Matt G is the coolest dude ever.
What Matt's doing at the 7:23 mark is called a polyrhythm. He's doing a 3/4 on the 1 on the china while everything else is 4/4.
Great video, I really like your breakdowns! It would be really cool if you could react to Anika Nilles, for example to the song Alter Ego. She is a highly skilled technical drummer and writes her own songs which have a quite unique "drum driven" style.
August burns red is my favorite! They’re all masters of their craft and honestly have to be some of the better musicians in all of medalcore. They always have just a different taste than most metal bands
This is one of the reason I like abr the drummer is beast they’re all beast but the drummer brings it all together epically
Side note the first time I heard them was on American dad as a teenager late at night when I was supposed to be in bed got curious and looked them up been a fan ever since
More on matt greiner please 😀
You gotta react to Andrew Tkaczyk, he's the drummer for a similar band called The Ghost Inside. What's crazy about them is that he lost a leg in their tour bus accident back in 2015 and he still kills it.
The black dahlia murder - what a horrible night to have a curse
You've got to check out Rings of Saturn - parallel shift drum playthrough
You should definitely check out Jordan Mancino of As I Lay Dying. He tears the drums up like no other
React to Extremophile Elite by Between the Buried and Me. The drummer is phenomenal. There's a live video that showcases the whole band, but they spend enough time on the drums that it gives you a good idea what he's capable. I'd have to say my top drummers are Matt Greiner, Blake Richardson, and Todd Sucherman. Excellent reaction. Really loved how you counted some stuff out and broke it down.
Mike, I think two bands/drummers that would be interesting for you to check out would be:
Chris Collis/
TTNG - "In praise of idleness" or "Adventure, Stamina & Anger"
Blake Mostyn:
Delta Sleep - "In The Air" or "Lake Sprinkle Sprankle"
Matt 🟰 king
Please check out Adam Grey from Texas in July, Adam and Matt are friends and they used to work together, their bands also sound similar, but I'd say Adam is slightly more technical and has played drums for about a decade longer. I think you'd really enjoy his stick tricks and how often he plays with his eyes closed :P
ABR🖤 snagged their set list a few years back before the other set started. They're a blast live.
React to some Oh, Sleeper!
Check out his playthrough of Invisible Enemy, most beautiful thing I've ever seen or heard
so Johny Sins now is drum teacher? what a legendary man he is..
the fact that he finds the beat again at 8:50 is just unreal
You know...you really should check out his drum tech Adam Gray (former Texas In July). Just as equally amazing as Matt is.
Please react to Anthony Barone. He’s a beast!
You remind me of James from Modern Day Debate for some reason lol. Also, can you react to Matt Halpern - 22 Faces drum playthrough? Thanks!
You should check out meshuggah and try to keep up with they're patterns and counts
Great video. You should react to Alex Bent from Trivium.
Matt’s a great drummer.
Have you checked out Silent Planet’s “Trilogy” drum track yet?
you should check out Blake Richardson from Between the Buried and Me man!
The legend says, when scientists decide to calibrate atomic clocks for the GPS satellites, they call Matt Greiner to provide the sampling.
You gotta check out Blake Richardson. That dude is a beast.
These videos are awesome like lesson type things you can just slow it down Learn stuff so cool
Nic Pettersen - Corruption (drum playthrought)
Old northlane is crazy
Nice 😁🤟🤟,please react OKI ,dead squad anatomi dosa
I think a lot of the technique discrepancies are down to the musical style you learned in because I would play the kick patterns exactly like Matt does, it’s a metal thing always alternating feet being ready to speed up or slow down.
I guess you never check Japanese female metal band called LOVEBITES. They sounds like mix of 80's bands(Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metalica, etc), all song in english. I think Lovebites popular in UK and Europe
Recommended songs:
Lovebites - Holy War
Lovebites - Thunder Vengeance
Thanks for check
Have you reacted to Aric Improta!
So I have been playing drums for about a year and a half at this point, but I have always loved ABR, drums included. Their technical skill in all parts is just insane. I can play a few of their songs on guitar, but I just started studying Matt Greiner, and a few things I noticed are that he has AMAZING form/posture, he seems to always use single strokes, he loves chinas, and he loves blast beats. He put on a pretty sick clinic for Ziljian, but if you're looking for another one of their crazier songs, check out Back Burner. Playing it is a great workout, haha, and it showcases their love for more offbeat riffs really well. If you're looking for a good quality video to react to, his video of composure is nice as well.
Also, fun fact: they are a christian band, and he is a total farmer boy haha. Oh! And their band was named after one of their ex girlfriends, August, who set their dog, Red, on fire. Extremely messed up, but still makes me chuckle when I hear their name now.
That story about the dog is false! Confirmed in an interview from the band. Didn’t stop me telling it to every person I showed the band to for years though (before I found out)
Yeah the dog story is 100% false, but everything else you said about Matt Greiner checks out.
I am both disappointed and relieved to hear the dog story is not true, haha, but Matt is still a beast.
@@GregHartmanMusic It's not your fault for believing it. The original vocalist apparently came up with the story when asked because he wanted to just be silly and have a crazy story for their band name when really there wasn't much to the band name origin at all.
Invisible enemy by ABR
Nice reaction and explanation! Please react to "Pneuma" from "Tool" >.
4:39 cipolle cipolle cipolle cipolle cipolle cipolle cipolle cipolle, cipolle cipolle cipolle cipolle. ci po lle ci po lle ci po lle ci po lle.
Skip to 1:50 for the video to actually begin
Can you react to Chris Adler ex drummer of Lamb Of god
Yo check out chon's sleepy tea or book drum play through !!!!!
Sorry about voyager but enjoyed review
next adam gray maybe?
Try listening to identity
Archspire please.
Are you watching your videos in HD? They look about 480p tops which through the compression of your upload dampens the quality even further. Just a point of note
I was watching SINSTV and I accidently clicked this video and honestly I see no difference at all except for the content change. 😅😅
4:44 chipotle, chipotle, chipotle...
Came specifically for 6:20 to 6:50
watch slaughter to prevail Demolisher, you won't regret it.
@8:48 "I have no idea what's going on." Pshh You can't instantly figure out the count when Matt just switches to 16/74 or whatever other madness he whips out sometimes out of nowhere for two measures and it works perfectly? come on, man.
