Love where Garstka's gone with his choices in drum and cymbal texture in recent years. The level of nuance and finesse the drier (but not dead) sound allows to come through is such a pleasure to hear.
And a pleasure to mix I'm sure!
Darker cymbals are definitely "in" right now thanks to drummers like Matt who have excellent ears. Some pick and mix them better than others but it's certainly better than days of recent past when everyone had Zildjian A and Z customs.
@@enkiea8322 a customs sound great but they turn into a mess when you have more than a few
Those coated heads sound great in this recording/performing environment!
Ugh hard agree with everything this thread, ya love to see it
I think the thing that shocks me the most about professional musicians is just how they play things like this ☝️ with zero mistakes. Like, exactly zero
Oh c'mon dude it's a video playthrough. Even these guys will tell you the audio is not from this performance 99% of the time.
@@mattg8091 wtf it's matt garstka
@@thomasdinkelspiel1098 they probably played it 3 times and took the best parts from each take
@@hcaz5818 Wtf man, haven't you seen Matt in person responding to Thomas Dinkelspiel above???
One of the greatest things about being alive on this planet is being able to watch Matt Garstka and Joshua de La Victoria playing together.
And sex
Agreed. This is both inspiring and liberating. I've been listening to a lot of instrumental prog these days and these two come up with some pretty cool shit. Lots of great artists out there and we are able to see them play right from our hands.
@@bowensteevan Yes, there are some good things around that are worth being alive for right now ;)
And LSD-25.

Gorgeous! Thank you guys for the effort and the Music!
Wow! Beautiful work
3:06 is literally not humanly possible to play on drums. Matt Garstka is literally not human.
Fuck yeah
Am I the only one who automatically switched to 1.25 speed?
nice work, but that main rhythm started to drone halfway through.
kodiak wild there was definitely a chaotic section after the first half, but I feel it just added some cool tension that they relieved in the ending portion
@@nostalgiajunkie running through it again, there are more changes than i noticed earlier, but there was a repetitive quality throughout that hit my ears the wrong way, i suppose.
kodiak wild i feel it, that’s how I feel about a lot of AAL records
Josh's playing is so clean and tight. Also his sense of harmony is such a pleasure to listen to. Matt isn't too bad either 🙃
"matt isn't too bad either" hahaha i see what you did there.
I have a guitar tab on my channel for Iris
How do you not play such bland parts clean and tight? It's gotta be the most simple playing I've ever seen. Matt is the only performance here.
@Jake Zee Jelous :)
@@jaakezzz_G it's very easy to not mute effectively.
I like the fact that they do this kind of thing without resorting to (the now cliche) becoming dark and heavy. It's a more colorful type of Prog.
The real question is, where is their album?!?!? This is so good and fresh
look for victoria in spotify
@legrandkosique such a cool comment. love it (although their faces sometimes seem to be screaming in enjoyment!)
@@arthurgarcia502 That's the logic confirmation I was looking for.
I'll be discovering this new project Live at The Whisky A GoGo - Jan 11 with Mestis
@@magusking9215 what happened? Did Matt finally get tired of tosin always hitting on him?
th-cam.com/video/3uhKQEGyMuc/w-d-xo.html
Matts one of the best modern drummers IMO. Been following him for years.. complex but groovy. Dude can shred. Saw him with AAL years back he ripped the kit with every ounce of sweat. Dude is a champion.
Here in 2023
3:05 when your CPU goes from 60% to 95%
so fast that i had to check nvidia control panel to make sure motion blur wasn't somehow running on my browser
i died.
Ahahahahahahha
Three of a Perfect Pair
She is susceptible
He is impossible
They have their cross to share
Three of a perfect pair
He has his contradicting views
She has her cyclothymic moods
They make a study in despair
Three of a perfect pair
PLASTICBRAINWAR天天腦膠戰 this! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Oh wow it goes so well with this!!
Oh good, I'm not the only one noticed it at the start of the song
gaaaaddddAAAAMMMMM 3:05
good laaaaawd
Ectogenesis playtrought... Near the end... Same pattern and tricks... Even though I consider Matt the goat drummer (or in top 5), I found music he plays quite boring. Maby because I listen tool a lot...
@@vladavasiljev It's true, he is boring sometimes, because he focuses on chops more than on groove, although he can groove pretty well. While I also am a fan of Tool, Danny is amazing at doing simple yet creative tricks, but his left hand isn't there. There aren't many subtleties in his groove. I like his undertow grooves more than his recent math music meshuggah inspired chops, that again, lack the left hand
@@truejungian he does not focus on chops more than groove.
3:41 yeah let's fuckin go
Not enough time signatures...;)
And 1 or 2 strings short Hhhhhhh
Just kidding, I'm loving this - Is this the Victoria project that will play at the Whisky with Mestis ???
Lmao!😂👍
Damn that metric modulation at 2:18 was beautiful
I may not be a musician, but I know enough to recognize tight playing when I see it. 3:41 onwards gave me shivers.
9999,999,999,999,999,999,9999,999,999,999,999,999, 9999,999,999,999,999,999, ghost notes
Music is the best invention.
One thing's for sure: Matt Garstka is the first to apply quantum math technology to drums!
Virgil donati tho
@@matthewbritt8498 can't believe people are forgetting about VIrgil. I love Matt but Virg has been doing this and way crazyier stuff for the last 30 years and he's even adding on top and keeps going and going and going
@hazardeur7327 imagine what Matt's gonna be doing in 30 years
Btw victoria is the name of the band not Josh's. Though nice song. It uses some complicated rythem and if you want to know. More abut check out yogev gebay about this song and Kepler
Just keep noticing matts mouth and face when he plays something cool. Lolol
I think every drum company should just let Matt design their stuff. He's made my favorite sticks, favorite china, favorite stack, and probably top 3 hi hats.
I don't know if there's any current drummer on Garstka's level with limb independence. The dude looks soooo insanely fluid for such awkward patterns, and time signatures I swear just watching him makes me feel like I'm going to have an aneurysm.
There are tons. Virgil Donati is a powerful example of what you mentioned.
Marco Minnemann
Also Danny Carey
@@The_Kevinist yeah Viregil is pretty much at the top and that's it for a few miles until the others come up
As much as I think Matt is the most all-around skilled drummer alive today (Ever, maybe? Not familiar enough with drummers of the past to confidently state), I do have to say that in the mere limb independence department, Marco has him beat.
Brilliant. This and "Kepler" make an excellent pairing.
His Tama kit and that snare sound soooo good. Really loving his new signature hi hats too. They sound so good in the mix.
Holy shit that was absolutely sick to death 💀 just incredible 🔥
I was waiting for this and so were you
Killer stuff as always !!! I'm gonna do a drum transcript ! Anyone interested ? :P
YES PLEASE...!!! Songs from GEM and the album MODERN VALUE also if possible.
You can check on musescore : musescore.com/user/27635566 ! I've already transcribed Torque (GEM), Crazy Tweaks (GEM) and Kepler (Victoria). For the modern value, you can buy the transcripts on Matt's website ! I'd like to know what you guys think about them ! :P Enjoy !!
Marc
yess
@@nonamenolastname9567 You like the transcripts ? :P
Marc Drums a lot x)
Just ate a Carolina reaper pepper for the first time before watching this. I have to say this is much hotter!!! Out cold!! Heh
sick Sick SICK! can’t get enough of this. i found myself descending the escalator reinventing plane geometry trying to find the 1. brilliant.
4:18 girls gotta get yourself a man that looks at you the way matt looks at this china
This track has a strong Final Fantasy 6 vibe
I was about to ask you to be more specific, and then I remembered the airplane music. That's KIND OF a stretch, but once you've got it, it is indeed impossible to unhear. Good job.
Hey Meinl, can we PLEASE get a Matt Gartska album featuring the Gem project plus all the tracks he does with this amazing guitarist? PLEEEEEASE? Seriously, if this exists I'll buy one for me and more for all my friends.
You'll have to ask Matt about those. Totally out of our hands.
I have a guitar tab on my channel for Iris
2:18 reads to me as a battle of who can destabilize the other rhythmically haha :) amazing song!
I resonate with this interpretation
I was waiting for this clip for so long!!
which MONSTER mixed the drums from audience perspective? Otherwise an insanely clean job, but this is a NO GO lol
whats the point of prog rock if you can't airdrum?
That snare :o
Listen to "Stasis" by Casimir Liberski... Matt's snare sounds better than EVER in that tune
Jens Z This snare sounds way better Matt Halpern’s in “Garden in the Bones”. 👍🏽🤘🏽
Mohammad Saleh agreed but no one was really talking about matt halperns snare sound
Everything in the video is just stuning. Audio quality is killer, the song, the creativity, damn man... never seen nothing like this before. You guys rule!
I really like how these guys explore all the feels each time signature. Josh's licks are super entrancing and dead on time and Matt is a true master of switching feels on the fly and does it basically perfectly every time... watched this guy in slow motion many times... Also the song sounds really nice and not abrasive at all. Reeeeeeeeeaaaaaaally great stuff you got goin' on there. Keep it up
that's the best dope i've ever had....and damn it...i've to practice a lot more....fuck!!!
I need to hit this “like” button 1000 times more
Is that a microphone above the kick drum in the center of Matt’s kit? If so, does anyone know what specific model it is?
This sounds like if these trees could talk first ep
It's not every day you see someone with a 7-string playing with a slide.. I'm loving it. I'm all for the "outside the box" approach. As for that harmonizer line, I think Steve Vai would approve. I personally think harmonized guitars need to make a come-back. Harmony lines were what made me love bands like Slayer and Death. It's a hell of alot more effective than that octave up/octave down bullshit that Djent does to death.
3:42~ This Riff is very very solid and clear sound. I love it....!!!!
What the fuck
Damn I love this song
"Cooper what are you doing?"
"Docking" 1:30
@4:40 Matt Garstka's totally bummed the song is ending.
The atmosphere that Matt gave this song it's just fucking amazing!! Wow
I swear Matt can't play "Unbreak my heart" Toni Braxton.
Amazing drum sound; insane playing.
You know when you hear a kick ass song and it’s only like a minute and 53 seconds? I must’ve listened to this song atleast 67 times today and it’s almost 5 min long but I was in such a trance that when it ended I’m like “damn, why are the coolest songs always so short? This should be longer!” 😆 THIS WAS AMAZING!!!!!!
Amazing !!!! Great Song !!! I've never heard of Josh De La Victoria before but now he's on the Radar ! Matt Bro your from another Planet !
Love post for Josh, he's amazing.
I think I like Iris even more than Kepler.
parece Three of a perfect pair de Crimson a primera vista
Any idea on the guitar he is playing ?
2 mostri!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
a perfectly written song
Kinda reminds me of boxer Mikey garcia on guitar
Please release this in Deezer
Bad to the bone!!! Great job!!!
Where does Matt find all these cool ass shirts?
This is the coolest thing I think I’ve ever seen from Matt. It’s hard for me to get into AAL because the melodies don’t connect with me and the constant unfamiliar time structures they build and change throughout the songs make it hard to follow if I don’t listen to the song more than a few times. This kept my attention throughout the entire performance rather than getting tired of the constant fluctuation. I looked forward to the changes and syncopation rather than dreading/being annoyed by them. Great songwriting and the shred added to the song rather than detracting, it definitely shows talented and tasteful writing in a genre where few bands can walk that line well.
Joshua Blou t Well said.
AAL's first and third albums have a lot of groove like this. I don't really like their 2nd album and the latest release takes awhile to understand what they're going for (i do like it). Given all this, i think you would like Plini....check him out.
Fake Name lmao I’m an OG w/the instrumental music dawg, I’ve seen plini twice, really love his phrasing more than anything. there’s a few jams by aal that I’ll have stuck in my head like ectogenesis or brain dance, but I think they’ll always be one of those bands that drop my jaw musically, but never get super into. I make a habit of watching every gartska vid that drops tho, and I’m really glad I did for this one
I think the "problem" with AAL is specifically the lack of melodies : songs are driven by the rhythm and thus harder to get into for many people, because we're too used to songs driven mainly by melodies. It's no wonder Physical Education is easier to grasp than CAFO, because PE HAS a distinctive melody. Once I understood I should listen to the rhythm rather than looking for melodies, AAL started making much more sense.
holy jesus my jaw actually dropped at parts.
matt looks like mac from its always sunny
I love this stuff. So much great music happening right now.
Such a great song! need more from these two!
brutal!
This seems more like a guitar demo than a drum one. And I loved every second of it. Never heard of Josh before but wow this guy is good.
There is a tab for this on my channel
I have a guitar tab on my channel for Iris
S T U N N I N G ❤️
This is fantastic . Amazing job !!!!!👏👏👏🔥
Both performances perfectly gorgeous
I wanna see what Matt and Plini could do...
Oh Yeah 🤘🏼😎
This is outstanding! Why am I just discovering this masterpiece now? 🤧
Can i have the multitracks of this session pliz?
That's your guy's sound!!! Great stuff as always. Thanks Josh and Matt keep it up!!🔮❄️🖤🆙🔣
I need an album of this stuff man plssssss
RIP djent
That's mesmerizing
2 of a perfect pair
Holy technical variety! Beautiful song and an excellent job to you both!
The like-ratio on this vid = about 300:1
Monster
So what time signature should we do?
*throw these darts at the dartboard and whatever fraction it is, that's it*
Cool stuff guys, keep up the awesome work
YHEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
