This just shows that Matt and Dustin love playing together and that's so awesome to see.
The day you play like Matt Greiner... Then you can give him advice... Clearly he is not worried about tiring out anyway
Matt Greiner is such an amazing drummer. I love everything he does.
It's crazy how you can tell he is tired in this. It really makes you see how incredible he is in all of his other performances and how much life he gives when he drums.
I need more!!!!!
Yes!! PLEASE MORE!
Great sound, greatest drummer
i was there! that show was nuts!
MOAR PLEASE!
That bass drop!!!!!
If you watch the video of him playing Empire at this show, he only uses his wrists during the blasts. His saving his wrists during the blasts in this song.
this was their first show out of the studio, you can't be a natural, everything takes practice. I was thinking the same thing though before your comment so I would say your right.
probably just one of those off nights, we all have them. Some gigs I play tight as a badgers backside and super relaxed, other nights it's like I'm struggling to hold a 4/4 rock beat down, it happens.
Just look at Matt. The physical state he is in i don't think it matters. He manages to play every show like this and kills it every time. I wouldn't ask him to change it just because he's comfortable like that :)
This is epic. 🤘🧡
It's a Wild Horse from the great and fun-loving company GreinerKilmer. You can buy one on our website!
Would love to see more videos like this!
you can tell how hard it is to play so many songs in a row. he still finished tho. what a sick dude.
This guy has mad skills amazing.
Do more!!! This was a sick show and drum performance \m/
great stuff!
awesome drummer
Keep 'em coming guys! That snare sounds great! It's awesome that you guys are making your own drums and as a drummer, I hope to support you. I can't wait to see ABR in concert soon! :D
after reading the comment about him being rusty I expected rustiness but I thought he looked great here.. had a few hickups but damn playing this song is hard enough by itself let alone playing a full set.. also about the arm thing he plays with his arms because he can and if you ever see him pick up the speed he uses his wrists when he needs to to go faster but when a song is a certain tempo he can get away with using his arms and gets more power out of it.. BEAST
Greiner's left arm has been mostly arm. Look up that old video of them in highschool with their original singer. He is a stiff player but it didn't stop him.
What video is that?
Well, as much as I agree with you, record sales dont matter either. There is no right or wrong way to anything with drums. It's all what works for you. I can't stand when people say people are doing something wrong.
GREAAT SHOW! i was there
These comments suck but anyways I had a personal lesson with him AND Adam a few years back and have them on video, about an hours worth, close to it, discussing all sorts of techniques and one of the main ones they spoke about was fingers during blasting and muscle memory for harder parts so trust me when I say that they know how to conserve and use their energy for what sections they themselves write/wrote.
Peace!
I think originally the kit was set up correctly, but as he played the set, the stand moved, and began to hit the boom. In the studio they would make sure that would never happen, because in the studio, everything must be in order for a perfect recording. There is no time him to move the stand to the correct adjustment, if he even notices.. It did not affect the sound of the band, because it is live, and no one would notice it in this situation.
i think at that blast beat he had got all his hand muscule locked...so he used every muscle that was less used which were in his arms...muscle locking happen to me every gig from all the effort im puting in and it gets to the point where u can no longer use your hands as fast as u could and every hit is harder to make
He is Matt Greiner. He can use his toes to blast if he wants to. Please don't compare yourself to him lol. He faced the problem you are facing and overcame it a long time ago brah.
wow...what a stupid reply...couldnt you have thought of a more retarded one?
And go read a dictionary before typing
ofc and i will...its what drummers do before shows...and what a shitty logic is to say that just cuz hes matt greiner he doesnt face problems like all humans do
I said he faced it and overcame it bro
Yes he is. Do you not see in UE in his ears? The click is directly in there.
yeah i noticed it too man and it was on a different video at the same show. still well executed
blast beats are basically 16th notes using snare, kick, and cymbal(usually ride, bell, or hihat) at really fast tempos. in this video, just look for the fastest beats. haha.
Using arms does nothing to hurt your speed if that is what you have worked your chops by. However, the main reason to stay away from using arms while drumming is that it can lead to joint pain in the elbows and even tendonitis. Note: This takes years of playing like this to get to that point, but it is still a nice preventative measure to play from the wrist
There is no bad technique. Its a technique that works for HIM.
I dont think Truth A Liar is one of their most technically harder songs, since it is one of their older songs. its also his first show of the tour as jake says in the beginning, but it could be possible.
Agreed. He seemed to be really struggling to keep up on some of his more chop demanding single stroke fills, both on the snare and bass.
,,, can you give me an example of how he looks rusty? I think it was spot on and he improvised a few of his own fills since he created the song in the first place. I,m happy with the video, thought it was spot on
I noticed it too.. He wasn't as quick to get back on beats after a fill as he usually is, and his left hand definitely seemed weak while playing that beat towards the end.
It's easier to do I mid speed bomb blast by using a bit more arm because your feet are playing twice as fast as your unison hands are, and their following the hands. His technique is impeccable he just knows when to use wrist or fingers and when to use arm. It obviously has worked for him too
I think it's just because this is such an old song, and they probably hadn't played it in forever.
What kind of bell is the one on the very left side? :)
damn that bassist with flip-flop!!!! \m/
I don't use all arm, I use wrist. But this is honestly the only video I've seen Matt use arm. Any studio videos I see, or many other live videos, He's using wrist. He was probably just doing it for shits and giggles.
He actually does this to save his wrist. Plus if you can use your arms to do this...you can only just ADD the wrist along with it....getting even faster than drummers who only use wrists. His technique is much more difficult. He has been playing for years.
great video, great drumming! but it drives me nuts that the hihat-top keeps hitting the splashes cymbal stand^^ :O
Yeah, it seems like it. I can understand that though, I mean they've been in the studio for pretty long huh? I can imagine trying to pull off a perfect set after a long break.
i dont see any mics so i eould assume he's bringing his blasts up a few dynamics. he does look a bit more strained in this particular vid.
Have you heard their second song from rescue and restore?
Watch him in other videos, like studio videos and other live stuff. He doesnt always use arms.
Look at that tricep pump! Mirin hard.
4:08 hayoh
He did seem to struggle through the unison blasts, and he looked like he really had to struggle for some of the double kick licks. Is that what you meant?
I look through these comments and see everyone trashing him, he's one of the better drummers playing today. His creativity when he writes his parts is great, and his technical skill is better than most as well. Who cares about his arms or his fingers or his wrists or his toenails or his butthole or whatever you want to nitpick at, bottom line, hes better than you, and we know it
MACHINE
dude this was right after two months of writing the most technical and physical demanding stuff he has made to date. he even said that he played until he was physically sick and had a rash show up on his thighs from playing. so be careful who you call "rusty" and until you can prove that you can play better than him you should keep those kind of comments to your self...and everybody is human we screw up don't point it out when someone your jealous of screws up it just makes you look like a jerk.
possibly because they just got out of the studio, not playing every night would take a while to get back into
Or how about everybody shut the hell up and stop getting butthurt about everything. It's TH-cam. We all know that Matt is great no matter what. End of story
Dudee the full set ;c plz
Also, "HEYYO!" at 4:07 lol
Every song please!!
What is a blast beat?? I hear that expression a lot. Can you tell me the time on the video when he does a blast beat?
Ray Gonzales 3:18 ;;))
It's really bugging me that his hi-hats keep hitting the boom for his splash stand...
Watching drums, watching drums, watching drums.... and then 3:41 Dustin :)
yeah thats what i meant they need to get back in the groove again,they were in the studio the whole time then going to play like 90 minute sets again. isn't easy
So this is what it sounds like behind the amp cabs when they use in ear monitors...
SOme drummers implement their arms. There's no right or wrong way to play drums, its all what makes you comfortable.
Looks like he's got some wicked wrist cramp going on
4:09 "heyo"
He's not playing with a click like he normally would from what I can see.
It's called playing live, and not in the studio.
2:15 is amazing xD
Just saying, using your wrists for blasting is far more efficient than using your arms. Example, you use your ankles when trying to go faster on the kicks, you don't see drummers teaching you to use your legs when trying to gain speed.
Actually when you play blast beats you have to use your wrists or fingers, those are two methods that you can learn and have to learn.
Using your arms is not wrong but it isn't also right, you can NEVER go fast and smooth as with your wrists or fingers.
as long as it works, every technique is accetable
i think he does that just for show. if you look at the studio videos he doesn't do it. there's only so much a drummer can do for stage presence
4:08 Heyo!
I've never seen him play blasts like that before, I imagine that's further into his show when he's tiring out.
bahaha, Dustin's Cymbal mutes. I love it :)
I don't believe he like got worse or anything, and not saying you're saying that or anything, but I'm pretty this is their first show in a while. Just gotta get back in the groove of things haha.
You can actually use your entire arm to get more power/control. Fingers, wrists, forearm, elbow, and upper arm.
You're right about whats seen as 'better technique' all in the wrists, etc.
But have you thought about performance? If he can play that technically with that much enthusiasm, why wouldn't you? He's putting on a show! Not playing in his bedroom.
dude thats the most backwards thing ive ever heard about drumming. you use wrist to save you're arm, not the other way around. every stroke comes from the wrist and the only time you add arm is when you are going for louder dynamics like fortissimo. you can also use arm for buzz rolls but other than those two reasons it all comes from the wrist
This being live or not has nothing to do with that. Just a slight setup error.
first live show in 4 months....
You've seen Matt's biceps and forearms, right? I think he's entitled to use his arms as much as he wants...
hes still a beast drummer so mr blackWhite any explanation
What happens if Matt is just so good/ fast you don't notice the fingers AT ALL or his body has evolved to the point where it just works for him with no problems.o_O I mean it's Matt Greiner after all....
i’ve never understood getting wigged out about someone’s technique. like whatever works right? i don’t get why it’s such a big deal to people. if they suck then i get it, but Matt is a monster so i don’t understand it. same thing with Chris Turner from OAA
Sometimes you need to use arms during blast beats and things like that. But in this case, he's not even trying to use fingers and wrists. Looks like he's struggling, doesn't even look comfortable.
Yeah he does sound a bit rusty. i notice that some of the kick parts a bit off and he tenses up when he plays those fills. then again this is a hard song to play lol. or maybe he just having a bad week or sore or something. could be anything hah
how so?
but your friend is probably really tense and not relaxed at all, right?
4:07 ... HEYOO
the blast at 03:17 is where i think he looks rusty, he uses his goddamn arms all the time, almost no wrists what so ever. You dont blast with your arms, you only use your wrists dammit :D
Is that a Hybrid China I see?!
Why do you think Greiner is so jacked? he uses his arms...
how the fuck does bam margera not love these guys??
well...i mean, i doubt he's played truth of a liar since...many moons. many tours ago.
3:08 dammit I'm supposed to have my hand at double speed, 3:10 nah can't be arsed
