@@greysilence7941 Matt is far better than Chris, and I hate to be the one to tell you that. They're both phenomenal, but Matt's far more diverse and technically inclined.
This is clinically insane level of coordination. Matt was already an inhuman 10 years ago but now he took it to the insaneinhuman level. also he slowly but surely transforms into Vinnie Paul.
For shits and gigs I attempted to play Ectogenesis just to see how it would go….suffice to say I was not ready for it. This man is on a completely different level than anyone else in the game right now
I have seen a few really good drum covers of this song, but then watching matt play it you realize there is so much more going on under the surface. He is an absolute beast!!! Best show i ever went to along side Tool. I cant get enough AAL
He confuses me so much. I'm not sure if he does ALL of the drugs, or if he's never touched a drug in his life. I personally think he's the best drummer on the planet, so he's transcended regardless of whether he does drugs or not.
Dude Matt is absurdly good, I really dont think there is a better drummer than him... past or present, he really is in my eyes the best drummer of all time
@@manuinjapan He's definitely in the conversation but if we are talking purely technicality-wise I think Matt is SLIGHTLY ahead... maybe only other drummer I can think of in terms of technicality is Virgil Donatai (or however the name is spelt)
@Qqqqzzzzznnnt I think in terms of groove and overall durability, Matt is not less than Thomas lang, he just got something, that makes him more interesting in my opinion
i hear it s an (almost) linear fill starting on the right hand splash repeating in a 3/4 pattern with an alternative 2/4 ending after 3 repeats of the 3/4. This is just how i make sense of it 😅 feel free to correct me
So tired of people getting views covering other peoples stuff. People are too stupid or lazy to find out why the original player is worth listening to. Don't even have to say anything. Just watch Matt, he's insane.
That fill from 0:00 to 4:32 Is amazing!
Calling Garstka the GOAT feels like an understatement at this point
It's not... He is a top dummer though Chris turner the Android goat easily.....
@@greysilence7941 Matt is on a whole different playing field then Chris. Im not saying your opinion is wrong just two highly different playing styles.

@@paradiddle5150 if thats what you think in your lickle mind... lol
@@greysilence7941 lickle?? Say no more, bucko. 🤣
Matt is one of the most original and technically proficient drummers alive today, no questions
Matt is my absolute favorite drummer. Animals as Leaders is unbelievable. I NEED to see these guys live. They have to come to Rio de janeiro someday.
I've watched this an unhealthy number of times
I like how his ghost notes are actually pretty loud, and soooo consistent in volume
Definitely makes sense for a heavier style of music!
That little blastbeat at the end is the most tasteful blastbeat ever
agreeed
Derek Roddy is smiling as he watches this tasteful blast beat
This is clinically insane level of coordination. Matt was already an inhuman 10 years ago but now he took it to the insaneinhuman level. also he slowly but surely transforms into Vinnie Paul.
LOL As much as I love Vinnie, he's never been close to that level.
@@philbeaulieu4398 he’s most definitely talking about his looks
For shits and gigs I attempted to play Ectogenesis just to see how it would go….suffice to say I was not ready for it. This man is on a completely different level than anyone else in the game right now
It’s funny cu it looks like this was actually at a clinic
@@joeyhathaway8447 it clearly was

Love Matt's transformation from drum nerd to psychedelic rhythm wizard

*SHROOMS*
Ya I think you have to reach some higher plane of existence to pull stuff like this off.
We're really getting to witness something special with Matt. I'm starting to think that maybe he's the Jungian archetype of The Drummer.
this hits way different live
If Matt would tell me the earth is flat I'd believe it
I think its funny how now he is making music that only he is able to play xD whole different level
Dude Matt is absurdly good, I really dont think there is a better drummer than him... past or present, he really is in my eyes the best drummer of all time
Thomas Lang?

Im sorry dudes every drummer you guys mentioned are gods but matt is still ahead of everyone
Love his outfit. At first sight i thought jack black was playing drums. ❤
I always have such unreachable expectations for AAL but goddamn Gartska always blows my idea of what’s even possible out of the water
"Okay Billy, today we're covering "Gordian Naught". You start.
nah dude i'm too high for this what the actual FUCK
LOL same!
😂😂😂
I love the precision of Matt G.❤🔥🔥🔥🔥
That break at 2:12 where it all just decompresses for a moment is so fucking cool.
In the recording it decompresses, but being live, Matt just had to make it the fastest hand section in the song. (correct me if I'm wrong)
I love Brann Dailor and he is my absolute favorite but at the moment Matt Garstka is the best drummer around.
Raising the bar
he is the bar
when he blast at 4:22 and checks the audience, his face is like are you guys satisfy now?
This guys is my favourite drummer ATM he is a fucking alien
Thank you for sharing these videos
4:20 People loves blast beat
What a beast
I like the tuning of his snare. \m/
Easily the best in the world rn
I was there! epic performance even though he was sick
ドラムは素晴らしいでしょう!🥁✨
impossible 🤯
Thanks for uploading these!
0:11 there, that subtle smell of sweat is the key for his genius!
the the cheering after the tiny blast beat
That left hand…god damn.
Yasss
I’m convinced when SkyNet becomes self aware and takes over it will be revealed that Gartska is the original Terminator
Is anyone else exhausted?
Bro, yes. Just ugh...i have nothing left
The flow is so sick! 😄
How on earth can someone be so good (want to set my own kit on fire....) Fenomenal, a league on its own...
What a guy!!
Best drum solo
I love how when he does the most basic blast beat, ppl go crazy cuz AAL doesn't blast
They're starting to do it more. Micro-aggressions has a pretty nice blast passage in the middle of the song.
@@HockeyPwnsBaseball MACRO EFFECTS
Red miso literally has the best blast beat in history. Listen again people!
Jeeesuuus chriiist...
Those are complicated but really tasteful
Portnoy who?
Fucking ghost notes man!
Wow
What did those cymbals ever do to him?
Frfr
King of the lab
Never felt sorry for a cymbal before……but ouch!
Pretty much feel like a joke at this point.
Absolutely ridiculous.
This reminds me of machine elves.
Man if i would've known about this i would be there!! Any more drum clinics planned from forks?
BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH.
WTAF.
Tighter than.....
That's a robot !!!!! A realy tunned robot !!!
2:34 melody sounds like ringfit adventure tbh
Someone make 1:33-1:45 make sense, holy fook
He's doing flams on the splashes and as for the rest of it, only he himself knows haha
i hear it s an (almost) linear fill starting on the right hand splash repeating in a 3/4 pattern with an alternative 2/4 ending after 3 repeats of the 3/4. This is just how i make sense of it 😅 feel free to correct me
😲
Is this tune a tribute to Sean Reinert?
It definitely has a Cynic vibe to it doesn’t it
@@jaimiday7048 Sean played on a Gordian Knot record too
@@jonriordan649 yeah but this ain't that.
that being said. Sean will always be my number one go to for fusion metal drumming
Definetly has some reinert influence.
Jesus fuc*ing christ. Thats the comment.
Harder...
Insanity
So tired of people getting views covering other peoples stuff. People are too stupid or lazy to find out why the original player is worth listening to. Don't even have to say anything. Just watch Matt, he's insane.
