Brad Hargis well when most metal drummer lists have the likes of Lars, Vinny, Neil, John Bonham, Alex Van Halen, Carey, and barely any newer metal I’ll place him under newer generations of drummers.
The only drummer I’ve ever seen look like he’s going to an interview for an accounting firm, but ends up in a studio like he got lost or something and then just started hammering the drums
I first heard of Matt Greiner from ads in both Modern Drummer and DRUM! Magazines, but never listened to either him or ABR until about two days ago. This guy is absolutely incredible!!! I NEVER EXPECTED the level of technical proficiency and groove that he has... I'm completely blown away--just awesome!!!😆
lord ive had this song and the drum intro stuck in my head for years. its one of those songs by ABR that just comes and goes, whenever im feeling motivated or challenged or good it comes in my head. its like youre going into war or something, absolutely epic
At 3:00 Matt forgets to hit the crashes. It's all right though, sometimes I forget things too. Like this morning, I was feeling a little tired so I poured some Monster Energy into my coffee. I was half way to work then realized I forgot my car.
In a situation like that, the guy wrote the fucking track, so he can play it as sloppy and miss parts as much as he wants lol super solid playthrough though. That china is on POINT
KillerBoots That’s how we are, someone can have all kind of talents and performs something great but there is always going to be someone like you aiming those minor mistakes that anyone cares.
I love both the original version of the song, AND all the stuff he added/changed with this playthrough. Matt is a superb drummer, and I love all his stuff. If you happen to see this man, thank you so much for being such an amazing inspiration to me and many of my fellow drummers who feel the same way! You're great man, keep doing what you're doing!!
yea not that hard to chew gum and play it keeps you focused and timing is always on point cause you chew on the 2 and 4 beat or whatever timing you are playing.
We drummers chew gum while playing live to keep us from looking mentally retarded with the bizarre things our mouths start to do. My friends say I look like I'm a deaf person trying to talk.
the best drum player that i have ever seen in my life, and also he cares about his posture in order to avoid lesions...but should try to move less your neck in order to be more safety. Bless
Really? Kkkķkk watch ken bedene and Eloy casa grande and you will see real amazing drummers! Matt is very good i like him but he's very far from the top 20
Chewing gum actually helps me focus when I'm drumming. Back in high school, our WGI drumline director would let us chew gum during rehearsals. Kept our brains occupied while playing through our parts. Something about it. Also, behind the kit, it keeps you from getting the "wide open drummer mouth" thing, Lol.
I wish I could post a video of Matt playing this song in Fort Lauderdale last year. Ac was broken, it was hot as fuck in the venue. Shit never gets old
This man could literally do anything Jon Bonham or Steve Smith could do with the toes on his right foot; his hands do almost nothing particularly hard while he works miracles with the pedals. He singlehandedly brought me into a genre I don't really like, just because of his raw talent. Ugh so good
its his own snare company called Greiner Kilmer. not sure how he tunes it exactly, but theres some info on what it is :P Adam Gray solos on Greiner Kilmer snare drum and greiner-kilmer.myshopify.com/
This guy is my favourite drummer ever, but I can't say he's my idol or that he heavily influences me as a drummer because I fail miserably every time I try to do something like him :/
One of the most underrated drummers of the new generation of musicians
Pretty sure August burns red is old though.
Brad Hargis well when most metal drummer lists have the likes of Lars, Vinny, Neil, John Bonham, Alex Van Halen, Carey, and barely any newer metal I’ll place him under newer generations of drummers.
Anyone who keeps up with current metal knows him and Chris Turner are the two best in the game.
Agree brother
@@bradhargis2261 ABR Old??? Heck no bro!
The only drummer I’ve ever seen look like he’s going to an interview for an accounting firm, but ends up in a studio like he got lost or something and then just started hammering the drums
this comment has me dying lmaoooooo
It’s a dead on explanation
I bet you he chews his gum in a different time signature while playing. Effortlessly.
Listening to a different song in his monitors.
Phillip Betts While asleep.
Charlie Fandale he could play as I lay dying - 94 hours EASILY
Charlie Fandale "
He smacks his gum on the offbeat of 3
Matt is such an amazing drummer and a great inspiration!!!
Exactly!!
Thank you for the inspiration!!!!
I love how Matt really plays the song and not just a beat, The drums are always so intertwined in ABR songs
October 2023 here and Matt is still amazing to watch do his thing!
the best metalcore Drummer out there.. no one can fuck with him
I would also consider Dan Searle (Architects) or Nic Peterssen (Northlane) so be honest. But Matthew Greiner is a beast nevertheless though
Havent seen me play yet! :-) hahaha Matt is dope though. Love his playing!
Chris from Oceans Ate Alaska is also a beast. The man is pretty much a robot
Chris from Oceans Ate Alaska is unique. That guy is a machine...
avnc10 exactly.

One of the most technical drummers ever
Thats some amazing drumming and the sound is hilarously good and natural. No stupid triggers. Just PURE drums :D
i am constantly impressed by how great and creative this man is
That is what we call a drumset and amazing and talented playing!
Matt is hands down my favorite drummer
At 3:00 Matt forgets to hit the crashes. It's all right though, sometimes I forget things too. Like this morning, I was feeling a little tired so I poured some Monster Energy into my coffee. I was half way to work then realized I forgot my car.

KillerBoots you also forgot to think before you made that comment
Frederick Piperata you must be fun at parties.

That snare has more crack than Washington D.C.
+studvicious lmao
It's his Greinerkilmer snare
Dope comment.
Best comment on TH-cam hands down 😂
From the start, i kept thinking " what the fuck is wrong with that snare"? It sounds like shit.
I love both the original version of the song, AND all the stuff he added/changed with this playthrough. Matt is a superb drummer, and I love all his stuff. If you happen to see this man, thank you so much for being such an amazing inspiration to me and many of my fellow drummers who feel the same way! You're great man, keep doing what you're doing!!
Excellent camera work! And obviously excellent job, Matt
Love your videos! What about covering this one?
OH MY GOD, I love watching Matt's drum play-through's, what a legend!!!
This is what it feels like to chew on 5 Gum
I must have watched this about 6=7 times since it has released and every time it still impresses me!
literally one of the best drummers out there.
Love how effortlessly he plays this.
One of my favorite drummers ever! 😊🤘🏼
Zildjian, PLEASE release his custom bells for purchase! Add them to the Zil-Bel line, as MG Customs.
20 people are crushing his back
lol
Ladies and gentlemen he did all that while chewing gum lol
I probably would've bit my tongue off haha
+Michael Morlote Hes always chewing gum.
for some strange reason chewing gum whilst playing gives you more focus and better timing.
yea not that hard to chew gum and play it keeps you focused and timing is always on point cause you chew on the 2 and 4 beat or whatever timing you are playing.
We drummers chew gum while playing live to keep us from looking mentally retarded with the bizarre things our mouths start to do. My friends say I look like I'm a deaf person trying to talk.
Matt can play the drums faster than my car can drive lol
Matt is my favorite drummer. I`m learning this song but it's so difficult in the blast section, but soon I will crack it. 😎
Yaa buddy! Matt is my favorite drummer too. 💪🏽
the jizziest face ever lol 2:31
3:52 am in the morning and I just laughed LOUDLY! Thanks!
Haha! I actually laughed out loud, shit
Yeah he blew a load alright
@@SoquiMR3 thanks for ending the vid..
A true inspiration, on & off the kit. God bless & keep him.
Playing this song gives me chills down the spine every time!!!!!! Nothing beats zildjian!... except my hhx china..
yes! all of these videos have been amazing
\m/
I could watch these drum videos all day. Matt is bomb
This guy.... he’s amazing. God bless him!
Can't believe this guy is from Manheim. My dad played with him at my church one weekend a good number of years ago. I'm still jealous.
I swear Matt has some marching bass line knowledge with these splits and fills🥶
the best drum player that i have ever seen in my life, and also he cares about his posture in order to avoid lesions...but should try to move less your neck in order to be more safety. Bless
Cristian Sanchez Restrepo check out chris turner from oceans ate alaska watch his hikari playthroughs they are awesome

@@philiplappay5186 My heart is in OHIOOOO
Amazing drummer Matt Greiner👏🏻🤘🏻
This guy is 1 of the best drummers I’ve seen
Really? Kkkķkk watch ken bedene and Eloy casa grande and you will see real amazing drummers! Matt is very good i like him but he's very far from the top 20
Just remember he's played these songs hundreds of times he's probably really bored of playing them.
Please play The First Step!!
Matt Greiner is a fucking beast.
Abr is what got me into metal thank you Matt
His Druming is sooo 😍😍😍😍 to the ears
Best drummer in the metal genre plain and simple!!!
Thanks, Matt! I've learned so much from this.
My two favorite drummers matt greiner and bill fore
Matt Greiner you are the man.
WOW! Thats the best ABR drum cover I've EVER SEEEEEN!!!!!
Thats because Matt Greiner is ABR's drummer.
vampirs007 exactly
drumsrockthehouse Gee did ya ever think maybe he was being sarcastic?
Chewing gum actually helps me focus when I'm drumming. Back in high school, our WGI drumline director would let us chew gum during rehearsals.

THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION!
Matt sits up one inch higher for every dislike
Matt is the best drummer in the world. Prove I’m wrong
matt your unreal! my idol! you should do a cover of your live version of back burner! its my favorite! :)
This doesn't get old
He's so good!
Met him after show at House of Blues in NOLA
He can do all that AND chew gum at the same time... What a Legend.
i'm speachless...
Legendary 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Most people can’t chew gum and walk
This man has full limb independence and master control and plays perfectly
This is so beast!!!!
He's chewing gum.... He's fucking chewing gum...
Carter Beauford chews gum all the time.
personally i chew gum when i drum as well because if i dont i end up biting my lip its just a bad habit
He's a badass so he can do it.
wow he's the first drummer i've ever seen do that I totally understand why you jizzed in your pants
Frank Fiorella And blows bubbles, all with a smile on his face.
This guy is awesome
Right On Brother Greiner!
Matt needs to break down the fill at 1:03
This is who you call the right guy for the job.
Zildjian needs to mass produce those bells! They sound so much better than the Zil-Bells.
I agree, zilbells are garbage
Just get the originals 6“ LP402 ice bell and 9“ sabian radia cup
best drummer EVER
Wonderful...
I've seen this video for like 2 years now. And Today I notice he made 1 simple error in the minute 3:00. He still a beast thou.
Awesome!!!
Чтобы так играть, надо очень любить музыку❤ Matt Greiner❤
Awesomeness
such a beast, fuck I love this band
I wish I could post a video of Matt playing this song in Fort Lauderdale last year. Ac was broken, it was hot as fuck in the venue. Shit never gets old
Posso curtir umas 10x esse vídeo? Meu Deus é muita emoção e técnica, Matt rules!
The greatest metal drummer.
underrate drummer all time long live abr
Amazing
My favorite metal drummer!!🔥
Russia love you!🙏😇
as i try to find a drummer i like better then matt i just cant find one. guy is so on point
True inspiration.
This man could literally do anything Jon Bonham or Steve Smith could do with the toes on his right foot; his hands do almost nothing particularly hard while he works miracles with the pedals. He singlehandedly brought me into a genre I don't really like, just because of his raw talent. Ugh so good
Does anyone know how he tunes his snare? it sounds glorious! ZildjianCompany can you help me out?
its his own snare company called Greiner Kilmer. not sure how he tunes it exactly, but theres some info on what it is :P
Adam Gray solos on Greiner Kilmer snare drum
and
greiner-kilmer.myshopify.com/
That was awesome
Matt Greiner might be my favorite super hero
yeah ....shook his hand once
....very soft - not expected
IndividualismIsSick I hugged him, very soft and snuggly
Me too!
He probably did it intentionally, knowing the if he gave you a “normal” handshake, he would break your hand.
IndividualismIsSick shook his hand earlier this month, still soft
That's unfortunate. Soft hand shakes are horrible.
Farout those double kicks!!! 😱😱😱
This guy is my favourite drummer ever, but I can't say he's my idol or that he heavily influences me as a drummer because I fail miserably every time I try to do something like him :/
Same here...I told him that meeting him at warped 2013. (That he's my favorite drummer). Felt amazing. He's such A great guy.
^ so did I. He said it meant alot. He's such a humble guy
Zach Miner Bro check out nic pettersen, hes a sick drummer, generally doesnt play as fast but he's really technical you'd love him if you like this :)
Check out chris turner from oceans ate alaska that guy is one his own level all the playthroughs from hikari are sick
lol just realized this was shot in Haverhill, MA.... and I live in Haverhill, MA.
why did it take me so long to read the video description?
HEY JJ ABRAMS, CHHILL OUT WITH THOSE SMASH CUTS! I'm tryin to see what he's doing!
College Frat boy by day ..amazing drummer by always.
2:30 round and round that ride goes just takin it's time xD
Thanks for the demo. Please a bit more angles of the foot work. Red Rocks !
@0:39 What the fuck was that Matt lol those kicks could've been a lot of things but 16th triplets wasn't one of them c bo
Best posture ever
