genie appears: "you have one wish" "i want world peace" "can't you wish something easier?" "let me play drums like Matt Garstka" "alright , let me see what i can do for the middle east"
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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!
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!!!
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
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
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.
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'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
I love that he celebrates at the end! It gives me the feeling that he's human, even though we know he's not
😂😂
Absolutely incredible!
Hey its T-shirt PantsTorn!
Misha Mansoor You suck
My name is Misha too btw
gutorov362 ok so you suck too...?
do a project with matt garska please... beg you misha!!! XD
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?
genie appears: "you have one wish"
"i want world peace"
"can't you wish something easier?"
"let me play drums like Matt Garstka"
"alright , let me see what i can do for the middle east"
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
“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
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.
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
@@ashimotoakai9599 don't we all.
Burnt, extra dry, and crisp is how Matt likes his toast when he lays down the BUTTAH!
His ghost notes have personality...dynamics. All while being rrrrrrolled out at breakneck speed and in incredibly complex combinations with hard strokes. Speechless!

Tha fuck?? Wow dude you really like how he hits the symbol one last time? Huh.
Nieky Holzken 😂 yea thanks

I saw this man play live while being while jetlagged and he still delivered. Absolute unite.
is that fratalian for unit?
The whole kit sounds like laundry
Dry and clean
Yyyyyyyyuyy
Yyyyyyy
Ini y
Ini sama

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....

Nobody on this earth plays the way he does. So impressive.
Just upgraded to a 1440p monitor a few hours ago and now get to experience Garstka slay in 2K. What a present!

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.
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.
My favorite drummer. Animals is lucky to have a drummer like Matt. Keep it up man. Loved this video
5:08 that feel when you realize you just hit 100% FC on Expert.

Creativity. Groove. The heavy heavy. All the goods are included with your purchase of a Garstka-4000 drumming cyborg!! Get yours today!

I’ll never be able to get over this! A true legend in our time. My goodness.
3:47 "avada kedavra"
3:57 spell takes affect, slays the song
This is the benchmark for drumming. Note for note. He who can play this note for note has proved their wait in gold.
good lord...the solo on this is from another universe
i mean.. im loss for words. he is incredible and thats still an understatement
one of the greatest drummers of my lifetime
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!!!
That's what we've been all waiting for! Made my day
That guitar tone though!!!
The drummer just on another level
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.

just have to appreciate how beautiful the hardwood is paired with the light and dark contrasted cymbal layout.
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
3:42-3:45 so easy..
I can't even count that tbh
Quintuplets
hahahaaa yes its very easy 😄😄😄😄
LUL
hher0siris lol yeh
Matt Garska, you're a big motivation, youre already a legend.
The tripple feeling is everywhere. The best drummer at all, period! Thank you Matt!
600 likes 0 dislikes, I don't think anyone can hate this man
I hit the dislike button twice, just to be sure...
Beautiful stuff, Matt! Love the reaction at the end :)
These videos have me on the verge of buying a Tama kit... Some of the best drum tones out there right now.
I can't explain it, but I'm in love with the sound of his bass drum, damn...
Amazing performance, mad skills!!!
I watch this at least once or twice a week
damn one of the best videos I've ever seen!
That snare sound. SOOOOO. CRISSPPPPPP.
who on earth could dislike this video!!!? amazing job as always, matt!
The tiny guy in his snare drum
wow I don't think I've ever seen anybody solo like Matt... insane. So hype
The ending melody is the euphoria of writing and playing through this song!
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.
Amazing to watch and just hear what's being played. Masterful techniques.
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!
I cried after this. So much music on that drums !!
The human mind is capable of great things. Bravo sir.
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 loved the victory dance at the end!
This is what mastery on the drums sounds and looks like, kids!
Garstka......greatest drummer alive.....enter discussion for best drummer EVER
BEST PURCHASE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEVER!
This was a very good example of an 80s movie sondtrack.thank you.
so satisfying to watch this comin straight from you man, god bless the talent 🙌
Your videos are inspirational. Thanks man
Got to love how Matt looks like he's panicking when drums. But his timing and accuracy is perfect.
So glad you posted this one. Besides the brain dance this is probably my favorite song on the album.
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
I always put the same smiley at all videos of Matt playing Animals As Leaders 🤯 but I’ m always like it 🤯 yes
4:00 start of the wtf&omg part..
Those modulations are sick!
I've been waiting for this to release, and I really wanna purchase the series.
Amazing!! The light in the video looks great and the stuff you play is incerible. Love your art of drumming!!
Really nice sounding Tama and Meinl cymbals. Matt you are unreal.
Simply amazing! clean sound, enjoyable syncopated tempo.Great great work
Good Lord! This whole jam is SMOKIN
2:19~truly amazing!!
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
Flawless my bro. love that you got that gospelchops feel in your fills and solos. you've learnt with the greatests. blessed
lol. the madness of matt is such a great title. amazing talent as always
The Madness of Many are their Masterpiece
God bless You! Superior Piece of Art! Cheers from Bulgaria! :)
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
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!
The stuff he's doing on the kick is insane
The legend from the future!
I can watch this dude play drums all day
Wow. REALLY digging the mix. Drumming is solid as always as well
Just stunning!
Best part? The master track blows my mind, and he still managed to easily improve it here.
can we all just admit that Matt Garstka is the worlds best under-rated drummer?
Fantastic. Thank you for this.
Absolutely beautiful man
@Matt Garstka es la mente más innovadora en cuando a la ejecución de la batería se refiere, verlo es un placer y a la vez un reto!
Been waiting for this!!!
2:27 you're welcome...
Freaking 😳 wow bro. Blew my mind!! Kudos👍👍👍
love the guitar at the end
Awesome and a great production
This dude plays really articulate. Amazing drum play bro 🔥🔥🔥
