    For Matt Greiner, drummer of August Burns Red, the drums are the glue that holds the band together and if you want to get good, the most important step is falling in love with the instrument. In APTV's Two-Stick Stories, presented by DW Drums, Greiner muses on his "Three S's" of practicing drums, demonstrates proper stick technique and, for the first time ever, confesses a bad habit he had behind the kit that he had to break in order to fully enjoy playing.
    All this and more in APTV's Two-Stick Stories with August Burns Red's Matt Greiner.

    Nicest guy ever! He got down to the fence and talked to me and my friend after the show. No problem taking pictures, and he gave my friend who is a drummer a drumstick. This happened twice , years apart at shows in Stockholm . His drumming really is a part of what makes August Burns Red unique.

    Warped Tour one year featured music lessons from different performers on the tour and I got gifted a drum lesson from Matt as I was working on drumming at the time and when I met him I got so nervous I was shaking so bad I could barely hit the drums. Man's a legend.

    I am not saying it was easy for him cause he is one of my favorite dummers. But he is lucky that he had full support and his family had a place for him to play. I had a kit for like 2 years and couldn’t play it cause I didn’t have a place to play.

    • @TunnelJumper
      @TunnelJumper 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Colin Serbu nope, his situation definitely made it easy for him. My parents instantly regretted buying me my first kit at the beginning of 2007. It was SO loud and shook the house so things would fall and smash. We didn’t have much money so I neglected high school in favour of working as much as I could and buying double kick pedals and meinl byzance cymbals. They would only let me play when nobody was home because their ears would be ringing if I did. Naturally, there was always somebody there so even though by this point, I have really nice gear, it really, really hindered my progress and work ethic toward the drums.
