Periphery is like the best band all around. Each member of the band is inspiring. From the way they approach writing to their personalities and how they all blend together to create the music we know and love from Periphery. Spencer's vocals just send shrills down my back listening to songs like Absolomb and Lune and really brings in the fury with songs like The Bad Thing and Price is Wrong. From the Bulb days, the demos are just amazing and even bringing them back in PIII is awesome. I love how Matt and Mark are so involved with educating their fans and non-fans through clinics and lessons. It's amazing how they incorporate their own personal tastes into Periphery's music from the electronic stuff on PII to the orchestral pieces in PIII. With Jake's tasteful licks, Matt's smooth grooves, Misha's awesome riffs, Spencer's dynamic and extended vocal range, Nolly's guitar tech/engineering/producing/riff writing/licks, to Mark's insane (all over the fretboard) riffs. Best band till date.
This is a very underrated video. Misha should post this on Perphery's FB page.
messengercrow it was probably recorded by someone watching one of his paid sessions
im sure matt has access to periphery FB page?
Great drummer, great guy, and great advice!
Digital Bath is one of my favorite drum tracks of all time, perfect vibe. Deftones love!
That’s crazy. When he said that,that’s literally the only song that popped in my mind
Recently been dabbling in recording and laying down drum tracks to go with my music. This video was very helpful and informative of a process for a non-drummer like myself to begin programming something that doesn't sound like a total mess. Something that just sounds right. Thanks Matt!
That trigger discipline on the right hand when you were doing the bass/snare example on “flatline” is peak control
do I need to have a deep V-neck to play tasty drums..? because I don't have one :'(
play? yes. program? n-... yes.
It is a pre-requisite, yes.
Go buy one from deep v apparel!!
E. Rodriguez A Baltimore Orioles hat is also required.
I just watched this, then listened to the album version of flatline. Omg the recorded drum sound is amazing.
tapping just the snare\kick groove on the snare with sticks is so damn simple and effective, never thought about it lol
Great information. I know when I program drums, I always start with the snare, then add kick and then start adding the rest.
thanks so much. i bought the kit. havent installed it yet. but already learned much form this video .its true sometimes trying to write crazy parts gets you stuck more than you need to. will use this when i write guitar parts as well. :)
Thank yoy very much for this lesson
Abe is one of the reasons I decided to play!
Samez
dude!!! I've always said from back in the early 90's that Abe Cunningham was a totally under-appreciated drummer.
thanks upload guy for uploading
This is exactly the info I needed, thanks Matt!
This guy is so likable. I just wanna chill and have a beer with him.
Thanks man. Appreciate this info.
thanks man really helpful lots of love
3:37 there's some good funny stuff for ya
Thanks Matt that was really helpful
this is really great thank u i love deftones as well
Flatline :)
How did you get your double kick chops so good? I've been struggling with good clean double kick for a while now. Considering just playing single kick cause of it.
A tedious amount of practice!
Record yourself, with what your got, mic your set up or just use a cellphone and listen to exactly what it is you need to practice on and try to improve those parts!
It takes work and I'm nowhere near professional at all, but I've done these things and I noticed a huge difference in my playing from just practicing vs practicing and listening to myself!
Also youtube has alot of practice tips/routines!
Best of luck!
Hey SteveOTheMan16. Dig this video and your methodical approach to playing. Don't think I've ever heard a drummer vocalize an approach like this. Very cool. Any chance I could email you 2 song for you to give a listen to and record roughs over? My friend and I haven't had any luck finding a drummer for our online collab project so far.
Mark Lane the video is from Matt halpern, periphery's drummer. I don't think there's a chance he could do that for you but you can always try by contacting him on instagram/Facebook
6:09 sneezed in rythm
When someone's significantly more talented than you and they also seem like they're probably nicer and a better person overall. Granted I don't know these guys but I get that vibe from both Matt and Mark watching their videos. Haha. Admittedly there's a level of respect there, peppered with hate.

Does Matt actually write the drum tracks for Periphery ? I've always been a bit fuzzy on this point...
That groove in seven at the end of Flatline is devastating. Matt's the perfect drummer.
As far as I know Misha programs the drums while they write the songs but Matt still has the creative freedom to alter anything. So actually you can never know which drum part was written by whom
W1ese1
I did a bit of poking around and it looks like Matt creates the initial groove and like you said, they all refine it as a band to get to the end result.
I suspect Nolly Getgood has a lot to do with it.
I think Misha used to program all the drums in the early days.
From what I've seen and understood, it looks like periphery in general program on the software drums. Matt has then a few weeks to make little changes etc learn the songs then goes into tracking. A lot of the fills are improvised though, I've seen this video where Matt says he always keeps parts for what comes and feels good on the spot
Misha wrote everything for P1 but after that its been more and more of a band thing, with each member writing their own parts and writing together as a band.
Is Bradley Cooper his brother? :D
No
i love halpern god dammit
Say what you will about the v-neck or the production quality...this is actually pretty killer. I do my own stuff:
soundcloud.com/rmp5s
...but I admittedly SUCK at rhythm stuff. This really did provide some pretty cool info. Pay attention, people.
my only question is where can I get a v neck that low? All I can ever find are ones that are essentially the same as a crew neck but just a v.
Gay parts of chelsea?
Anyone have any suggestions for where to put bass drum on slower tracks? Have trouble with writing for my new band thats more of a slower softer punk.
2018 Student Mario Grandinetti playing your bass drum on the 1 is a good place to start.
flatline
please tell me he has a double kick pedal bc otherwise I'm quitting the drums.
Yeah, he's using a double pedal, haha.
i always thought that my hi hat sounded really bad natually(not recorded sound) it's a zht professional sound, and i always thought it sounded horible but hearing yours sounds exactly the same...unless you have a cheap hi hat too
his probably sounds a lot worse than it is because of the recording, I'm not sure though
the hi hats sound amazing. it's because this is recorded on a phone and will be clipping the audio so it sounds shot
I just went all out on hats snd it paid off great. I love them. Sabian artisan hats 14. Big money though but since I have a great kick n snare sound I wanted to get my fav hats to add in. Highly recommend them if you don't mind saving an extra 100 bucks over other high end hats. Worth it imo.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Bro looks like Eminem in the thumbnail lmao
Who else was singing the song while he played it from the beginning?
Flatline is freaking catchy
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
