The best drummer of this generation. Without question. I guess what I should have written was the following: In MY opinion, Matt is one of the best drummers of this generation. No need for this to be a competition. I have looked up each of the drummers that have been mentioned in the comments, and I enjoy learning about any good or great drummer I can find. I can learn from bad drummers, as well as good drummers. What is important to remember, is that there is always room at the top. Matt wasn't always an awesome drummer. He had to work at it. As Benny Greb has noted; he didn't start out being able to groove; he had to learn how to groove... The more awesome drummers there are out there, pushing the limits and leading the way, the better it is for all of us. Matt is a trailblazer, I have seen him in action. I know and have seen his dedication to getting better and practicing. This type of perseverance is what we, as musicians, should all aspire to. All the best to each of you! Mike
Elliott Hoffman is criminally underrated. The guy would be as adept playing with Chick Corea as he would be with Meshuggah. Ridiculous talent, technique and subtlety.
Matt's humility and down to earth personality definitely fits the badass nostalgic melodic guitar riff at the end. Makes the video even better than it already is.
His ghost notes have personality...dynamics. All while being rrrrrrolled out at breakneck speed and in incredibly complex combinations with hard strokes. Speechless!
I swear everytime Matt Gartska posts a play along video whatever song it is it instantly becomes my favourite most listened to song for the next month lol
I like how he makes the last cymbal hit at the end as if he's done with the track. Like he doesn't want to touch it at all anymore because he's done exactly what he's wanted to do with it and exhausted it.
Whoever those 26 people are that disliked this video literally have no idea what incredible drums are...this guy is easily one of the best drummers of our time
Enjoy this demo video of what the amazing Garstka-4000 can do. AAL industries is not responsible for ascending, mental satisfaction or broken arms/legs while trying to play what this can
my dude finishes a hefty season that wouldve left me dead and he still has the energy to jump around. I love that he still goes off at the end but incorporates the grooves still
Their songwriting has gotten so much more delightful over the years... I start seeing these gigantic, glowing circles that pulse with the music right around 2:44 - a sense of arrival, then that magestical solo, and finally a peaceful end... Edit: Their*
Your description of the ending is perfect, it's definitely something else. Still doesn't beat my favorite ending of "On Impulse" but this outro definitely makes me feel some type of way.
Fucking phenomenal drummer, god he's just sooo good! Hands down one of the best drummers alive in my opinion. Feel free to let me know about any other drummers you think are up there.
Elliot Hoffman’s the only contemporary one I can think of. Of course there are the elder sages-Collaiuta, Weckl, Gary Novak, Horatio Hernandez. They’d still give Matt a run for his money
I just love when I read the comments and there's one about Matt being greater than the metronome. This guy is really amazing. I love to watch him play. It's like moving art. And the music ain't bad either.
When you leave a like mid way through the video because you can't get over what it is you're watching and have the same reaction Matt does after you've left the like
I look at the most notorious drummers as an inspiration... Matt Garstka on the other hand (almost) encourages me to set my drumset on fire and never even mention I once "played". This is what modern drumming is all about!
4:00 and on this day, matt gartska, frustrated with the sins of his subjects, descended from the heavens and unleashed his endless chops upon the world.
Not only is he incredible and NAILS this tune, he even manages to perfectly place his sticks so that the VF label is visible......all without trying! What a natural!
I've just noticed that he plays the ghost notes on the inner circle of the snare and the regular notes right on the center. And he never misses one milimeter
Haha I never had such a blast literally just watching someone play drums lmao, especially near the ending of the chorus and the freakin outro. Man this is some beastly stuff, whew, truly one of the best drummers of our generation
Matt you never cease to amaze me! I don't know how you do it, but every time I catch one of your videos, you keep on improving in everything from your posture behind the kit, your "in the zone" drumming, your musicality, and on and on.... Blessings!!!
I love that he celebrates at the end! It gives me the feeling that he's human, even though we know he's not
Rumor has it that metronomes get their timing from Matt.
He's like a musical quasar.
That's no rumor.
Ughh why is this comment or some variation of it on EVERY DRUMMER youtube video..
@@sephyowns cause that's how much better they are compared to you.
@@darkforceguitar What was the point of this comment Mr. Juanito? Quarantine got you on edge?
Absolutely incredible!

“Pigs flying work instead?”
I would say prescient timing, but that applies to just about any time in the last 5,000 years.
haha I laughed so hard
After months of practice, I can play from 5:03 to the end!
I can play from 5:04 ...
oh, I thought you played drums too.. You're a great guitarist lol
I love how your cymbals look like they were in a house fire, but are worth more than my entire drum kit haha
I have a few of them
HAHAHAHA this comment😅
at first i thought they were so unappealing but now i like the look more than any traditional look. (also the sound)
I especially want those fat stacks

Mike
Chris Turner too
him and matt are by far my biggest inspirations
Hydrogen Carbonate agreed 100% and Adam Gray he's crazy technical and complex with his playing too
Austin Bierkamp i was gunna say that. Adam has always been my favorite
I do think he's quite incredible but imo Elliot Hoffman takes that title
Elliott Hoffman is criminally underrated. The guy would be as adept playing with Chick Corea as he would be with Meshuggah. Ridiculous talent, technique and subtlety.
Burnt, extra dry, and crisp is how Matt likes his toast when he lays down the BUTTAH!

5:08 that feel when you realize you just hit 100% FC on Expert.
Favourite track off the record. Pure inspiration.
Same. Also that melody at 2:05 is straight up beautiful
I could listen to the outro on repeat....
I saw this man play live while being while jetlagged and he still delivered. Absolute unite.
is that fratalian for unit?
Nobody on this earth plays the way he does. So impressive.
Creativity. Groove. The heavy heavy. All the goods are included with your purchase of a Garstka-4000 drumming cyborg!! Get yours today!
Enjoy this demo video of what the amazing Garstka-4000 can do. AAL industries is not responsible for ascending, mental satisfaction or broken arms/legs while trying to play what this can
Just upgraded to a 1440p monitor a few hours ago and now get to experience Garstka slay in 2K. What a present!

@@marccram2664 Harr harr. Verrry punny...
My favorite drummer. Animals is lucky to have a drummer like Matt. Keep it up man. Loved this video

good lord...the solo on this is from another universe
This dude is on a level with legends twice his age. Unreal
Never clicked on a link so fast in my fuckin life.
This is what mastery on the drums sounds and looks like, kids!
i mean.. im loss for words. he is incredible and thats still an understatement
I just love when I read the comments and there's one about Matt being greater than the metronome. This guy is really amazing. I love to watch him play. It's like moving art. And the music ain't bad either.
That guitar tone though!!!
The drummer just on another level
BEST PURCHASE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEVER!
When you leave a like mid way through the video because you can't get over what it is you're watching and have the same reaction Matt does after you've left the like
At 2:12 Matt looks like a really happy fish gulping for air.
That snare sound. SOOOOO. CRISSPPPPPP.
God damn. I cant even formulate a sentence than can adequately express how amazing this was. I wish there was a step above just "liking" a video.
I look at the most notorious drummers as an inspiration... Matt Garstka on the other hand (almost) encourages me to set my drumset on fire and never even mention I once "played". This is what modern drumming is all about!
I watch this at least once or twice a week
4:00 and on this day, matt gartska, frustrated with the sins of his subjects, descended from the heavens and unleashed his endless chops upon the world.
one of the greatest drummers of my lifetime
Not only is he incredible and NAILS this tune, he even manages to perfectly place his sticks so that the VF label is visible......all without trying! What a natural!
3:47 "avada kedavra"
3:57 spell takes affect, slays the song
That's what we've been all waiting for! Made my day
This is the benchmark for drumming. Note for note. He who can play this note for note has proved their wait in gold.
Beautiful stuff, Matt! Love the reaction at the end :)
I always put the same smiley at all videos of Matt playing Animals As Leaders 🤯 but I’ m always like it 🤯 yes
The Madness of Many are their Masterpiece
wrote a song titled Drummer face . you were a big inspiration . people think its show-man-ship , just cross wired synapse resulting in drummer face
Garstka......greatest drummer alive.....enter discussion for best drummer EVER
This was a very good example of an 80s movie sondtrack.thank you.
The human mind is capable of great things. Bravo sir.
who on earth could dislike this video!!!? amazing job as always, matt!
The tiny guy in his snare drum
I’ll never be able to get over this! A true legend in our time. My goodness.
I loved the victory dance at the end!
I've just noticed that he plays the ghost notes on the inner circle of the snare and the regular notes right on the center. And he never misses one milimeter
just have to appreciate how beautiful the hardwood is paired with the light and dark contrasted cymbal layout.
god that insane modulation to 5 gets me every fuckin time
Amazing to watch and just hear what's being played. Masterful techniques.
Haha I never had such a blast literally just watching someone play drums lmao, especially near the ending of the chorus and the freakin outro. Man this is some beastly stuff, whew, truly one of the best drummers of our generation
I cried after this. So much music on that drums !!
The tripple feeling is everywhere. The best drummer at all, period! Thank you Matt!
Got to love how Matt looks like he's panicking when drums. But his timing and accuracy is perfect.
Matt Garska, you're a big motivation, youre already a legend.
Matt you never cease to amaze me! I don't know how you do it, but every time I catch one of your videos, you keep on improving in everything from your posture behind the kit, your "in the zone" drumming, your musicality, and on and on.... Blessings!!!
This is like the ultimate flex. Wearing a grey long-sleeved shirt, playing this incredibly taxing whirlwind of music, and not sweating.
@Dubz Thangs Sorry but I don't understand your reply - could you rephrase it?
@Dubz Thangs NVM I get it now. Unconventionally phrased but true!
2:37 that hi hat splash fill was nice
The problem with this guy is that he can make it harder than this. Insane
These videos have me on the verge of buying a Tama kit... Some of the best drum tones out there right now.
Matt is the guy who played odd times and polyrhythms on desks back in school .
The ending melody is the euphoria of writing and playing through this song!
2:19~truly amazing!!
wow I don't think I've ever seen anybody solo like Matt... insane. So hype
My favorite song from This Masterpiece of an album.
YES!
Andrew Oransky cognotive contortions is excellent too !
love the guitar at the end
I can't explain it, but I'm in love with the sound of his bass drum, damn...
Amazing performance, mad skills!!!
3:42-3:45 so easy..
I can't even count that tbh
Quintuplets
hahahaaa yes its very easy 😄😄😄😄
LUL
hher0siris lol yeh
He does things that should even be possible!
Your videos are inspirational. Thanks man
I've been watching Matt play since Berklee stuff, 2011-ish i think, and am still blown away every fucking performance.
Noah Bird same I remember him from those "gospel chops" vids back in the day lol
The stuff he's doing on the kick is insane
can we all just admit that Matt Garstka is the worlds best under-rated drummer?
Dream theater songs sounds much easier than these
I Gusti Ngurah Dhyana Yoga if your the drummer
@Google Sucks you sir have a serious problem
Matt Is great but doesn't touch Portnoy
It’s easier to understand what Portnoy is doing, but with Matt I get lost every 15 seconds.
Good Lord! This whole jam is SMOKIN
This is so high on the list of my favorite songs from AAL, and this playthrough makes it even harder to decide what that list exactly is!
Christ... This is unique. A music scientist. Dam he's good.
I'd love to live in your dimension 😥
I'd be happy to spend an hour there.
TheCosmicCharizard Call it homage of a disciple
Just stunning!
Last time I was this early to a Matt Garstka video I was coming from a Tosin Abasi video.
i dont even want a lesson on this i'd just burst into flames trying
What the.... did youtube change its suggestion algorithm or something, because it has been giving me bangers all day.... for the first time ever.
MIND BLOWN
Absolutely beautiful man
That's amazing - just wow
You DESTROYED this song in Cincinnati the other night! I'm glad I bought the jump drive ha
Best part? The master track blows my mind, and he still managed to easily improve it here.
