Can attest to how incredible, humble and inspirational Matt Greiner is. I invited him to come to a cafe I was working at in New Zealand via Facebook and he showed up, twice! He hung out and we chatted. He asked if I knew about the festival he was playing at while he was in town. I told him I did, but I couldn't afford the ticket at the time as they were crazy expensive. He then gave me two door spots for myself and a friend. On top of that he freakin killed it, as he does every night. Never stop shining that light, Matt. What may seem like small gestures of kindness make a lasting impact in people's lives. Love you bro. God Bless!
He's definitely super cool. Shared a pizza one time at guitar center when I worked there and he came in for a snare workshop for his snare company - definitely hasn't let fame go to his head
DO NOT STOP THIS SERIES!!!! Insane production quality, genre-bending performances, and the opportunity to learn about musicians I'd otherwise never know
Seeing a metal drummer in this context.. makes me so happy. I love metal, but also music like Snarky Puppy. To see Matt play with sax players etc. with these orchestrations is just awesome.
The writing and arranging Sput, Lettieri, and others are doing for this is really unbelievable. There needs to be some sort of recognition for this. Dudes are creating new genres on the fly. And the execution by the band too.
Trey Fontenet yeah no they haven’t. I’d ask you to link one example but I know you can’t. Sure it’s a fusion of genres and fusion is a long-standing thing but I haven’t heard metal incorporated in this way maybe outside of Tigran Hamasyan, but even he isn't using this instrumentation. Point is, it is notably novel writing and arranging.
I'd kill for sput to do a production clinic. At this point I'd be willing to put him on the level of Mike League as a music writer/producer. The amount of ideas he has could be split up between 3 different instrumental bands lol who all play different genres.
@The Monotone Man Between The Buried And Me would like a word with you. Progressive metal bands in general have been doing this kind of shit for years though.
@7 Logik Yep, when I think of alot of Christians and the scary Christian nationalist movement attempted to be enacted in our country and their war against how people were born, I think of humble lol. It has to do with who you are as a person, not your religion. He just happens to be one of the good ones.
What an awesome, humble dude, and a killer drummer. It's cool that they brought in a metal guy among a group that's mostly filled with jazz and R&B guys too.
While I haven't listened to August Burns Red consistently in years, they really were my first metalcore obsession. Matt was my first drumming love and his masterful drumming really inspired me to lean into more and more music. Along the way I ran into Snarky Puppy, and by extension of course, Sput and the rest of his work. So funny and amazing to see one of the coolest, most humble, and cleanest drummers out there pairing up with Sput and the rest of Ghost-Note like this. It's truly the craziest dreams of my high school self come true. And of course, they all killed it.
Same (except I still listen to abr all the time). As a preteen/teen I listened to mostly metal, but I've really branched out over the years and listen to a little bit of everything now. It's so cool to see 2 of my favorite drummers from some of my favorite groups in completely different genres come together like this. I wish there was a lot more crossover and collaborating between different genres especially metal and jazz/fusion. There's so much talent in both genres.
Mine was as I lay dying with shadows are security then messengers by abr. They are who got me into metal and boy has that expanded. Great groovy metal mesh up. They need to make more orchestra metal too. It's made for it.
What's good about this video is the people. Scrolling through the comment section I realised its not just ABR fans in the house, but a good number of people who have never heard of Matt Greiner until this session. I'm am so proud of you Matt. You deserved this!!!!
Matt has truly become one of the legendary greats in the metal drumming scene. I love that he got to show a little bit of a different side than what he showcases in August Burns Red. Dude is a machine, and truly a class act if you ever get the chance to meet him.
I wouldn’t care what level of skill he was on, he’s on the upper echelon of being an incredible human. Truly touching, and you can just tell what his profession does for him. It’s true art and passion.
Look how happy everyone is!!!! This was such a great idea to diversify the sessions like this. Kudos to Zildjian, and Sput for writing a master fusion of two wildly different genres, and the WHOLE LOT of em for jamming on it like they did
Some parts of this jam reminded me very much of Between the Buried and Me. Very extremely astonishingly exceptionally immensely good! This series is tremendous.
There is nothing in this world that brings people together more than this. MUSIC! My god the chemistry. The feeling. It’s stuff like this that makes someone get emotional. It’s freakin beautiful y’all.
MATT KEEPS DEFINING HIS AWESOMENESS AND HIS LIGHT CONTINUES TO SHINE BRIGHT......HE'S ALWAYS BEEN A GREAT GUY AND A GREAT MUSICIAN....HE ALWAYS REPRESENTS OUR LANCASTER REGION IN THE ABSOLUTE BEST OF WAYS....., MUCH LOVE FOR YOU BROTHER...KEEP DEFINING YOUR AWESOMENESS !!!!! :)
STEVE WARGO I’m a new transplant to the PA Area from MD and I was blown away !! I have listened to August Burns Red for awhile off and on but never knew Matt was a local guy
@@tonioconni WELCOME TO THE REGION !!!! :) LANCASTER IS A DIVERSE AND THRIVING CULTURAL REGION WITH A VIBRANT ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT COMMUNITY , SOO MUCH TO SEE AND DO ALL THROUGHOUT THE REGION AND IT'S CENTRALLY LOCATED TO MANY OTHER AREAS WITH COOL ACTIVITIES AND OFFERINGS OF JUST ABOUT EVERY KIND !!!! :) ONCE THIS COVID-19 THING PASSES AND IT'S SAFE TO GET OUT.... BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE REGION AND ALL THAT IT HAS TO OFFER....MANY ,MANY AWESOME PEOPLE OF ALL TYPES CALL THE LANCASTER AREA HOME......YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHO YOU MIGHT SEE AROUND HERE !!!! :)
Y Grenier lo ha conseguido otra vez.. Dejarnos con la boca abierta a todos los fans y baterístas con sus asombrosas tecnicas, su carisma y lo lejos q estas yegando. Todo se resume a una cosa un baterista sumamente talentoso, humilde y alegre transmitiendo eso a su gente. Te amamos Matt lo mejor de lo mejor para vos
Good to see something different this time. Matt is a powerhouse! Very solid and consistent...great drummer. And the bass player is simply amazing, a joy to watch 👌
2:25 sput groovin. so awesome. “im in a room full of giants, if i can pop my head up” matt is always so humble. congratulations matt on the long overdue recognition. ABR’s Messengers album made me realize how much i needed to practice lol
This is probably my 10th time listen to this since it dropped, i keep hearing stuff I didn’t hear the previous listen an it keeps gettin better an better. Matt an ghost notes are absolutely insane
I’ve been watching this video every day since it was released. I can’t stop, it’s so dang catchy. This is seriously such an insane amount of talent sharing the spotlight, it’s ridiculous. Matt is such an amazing soul, and a huge influence to so many drummers (myself included)! This is truly amazing!
As a metalhead I'm glad that this Zildjian forum accepted him with open arms. Also glad to see Matt spread his wings. A great experiment for all involved.
So cool those masters are looking up to someone who plays metal. Metal musicians are always so distant from this academic gigs. Amazing groove and great skills on the side. Good job!!
When I saw Matt Greiner for the 1st time playing Live in Manila Philippines I did Cry, and this video this is the 2nd time you made me cry again. You are such an inpiration the way you talk is more than a drumming, I hope I can fulfill my dreams too, to become part of Zildjian Family
I love this, people need to appreciate metal drummers more. I love how the music is like, metal, rock, funk, R&B and all those good things but matt is such a metal house but it still works. Wish more bands played with metal drummers to add that metal force to songs

Absolutely inspirational 💪🏻🔥

Awesome story bro. 🤘🏼
Yo I remember that day. You served Matt and me some milk and cookies at your cafe!
@@gottadrumitup YO! Oh Snap! Yeah bro was awesome meeting you and Matt. Definitely one of the highlights of my life so far. Hope you're well!
Matt Greiner... never heard of this machine until I saw this. What a drummer.
Martin Rockport Check out the band August burns red. Hes the drummer for that band. Really dope band👌🏽🤘🏽
Martin Rockport he’s one heck of a drummer. Super versatile too!
He plays for my favorite band and one of the best if not the best band in the metalcore scene. August burns red
How?
Dude is a walking metronome. Unreal drummer
DO NOT STOP THIS SERIES!!!! Insane production quality, genre-bending performances, and the opportunity to learn about musicians I'd otherwise never know
Agreed. This is high quality everything.
agreed
Is this a reality show and the audience ia full of musicians? First time here, sorry for the question
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟☝
At 4:40 You know dude killing when you get the stank face out of mononeon what an awesome lick , my goodness , that's what I call funk rock 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That bass solo was a real treat.
Ghost Note playing Metal
This is other wordly😄💯💯
Exactly!
haha
Eloy Casagrande - Sepultura 🔥
This is definitely more proggy fusion metal tho... it just fits ghost note better
@@kaowagnerm35 Was what I Thought when I read about ghost notes in metal !!
We can’t wait for this! Wooohooooo!
Petition for ABR to include more brass on their future records, please and thank you.
I would love to hear an ABR version of this song!
DUDE THAT WAS SO SICK!
Boys this was incrediblle. This on top of the new album has made light of a dark time.
Need some Jake vocals on this track!!!
I think my favorite part of that whole thing is that Matt was smiling the entire time during his performance
Look up his playthroughs. He’s smiling in almost all of them. Love seeing a musician who still loves and enjoys the day to day playing still!
Has anyone else listened to this 25 times??? 😍
me😂
Everyday
Cole Christensen Only you. The rest of us have jobs.
I do
Meee..😄
Zildjian - "Matt, break into the song easy"
Matt - "I'll see what I can do"
1. It sounds like jazz metal
2. It does have some flavor of dream theater
It really sounds like DT
Or Mr. Bungle
couldn't have said it better myself
More like panzerballet but a little bit less crazy.
Reminds me of Thank You Scientist
The mix is crazy. Sax, Strats, synths, and Matt. It's like a new genre.
oh you bet!
If "thank you scientists" was a little heavier
@@amazingpillowfort TYS is dope man! heard it from nolly from periphery.
Modern rock-Jazz prog?
Progressive Jazzcore
Seeing a metal drummer in this context.. makes me so happy. I love metal, but also music like Snarky Puppy. To see Matt play with sax players etc. with these orchestrations is just awesome.
Stephen Davenport Thanks! Playing with sax players was one of my favorite aspects of this project!!!

100%
Unreal. Metal drumming with that orchestration. Phenomenal.
This man is anointed. No doubt about. He plays the drums like a warrior of God.
Funny you say that, his band is a Christian metalcore band
Wow!
His spirit is very humble, no surprise
@7 Logik Yep, when I think of alot of Christians and the scary Christian nationalist movement attempted to be enacted in our country and their war against how people were born, I think of humble lol. It has to do with who you are as a person, not your religion. He just happens to be one of the good ones.
@@Rob_Cary what does having a humble spirit have to do with religion?
August Burns Jazz.. This is a masterpiece.
4:40 : Do you play Bass or Electric Guitar ? Bassist : *yes*
Ha Ha! Too true
Switch 😆
Reminds me when I first got my Line 6 Bass Pod XT and used to jam out on that. So much fun.
I like jokes that are formatted like this. They’re funny.
Everybody be lookin: "what yall whities doing with instruments"
5:11 MY LORD I CANT STOP SMILING ITS TOO GOOD
Great epilogue isn't it
i feel u! its obvious but it just feels like they built the entire song to reach this bright, sunny-day epilogue
Literally never heard anything so unique and immaculate in my life.
He plays with such visible joy on his face...a real model for what playing music should be like

Ghost Note and Matt just made a new genre.
Will Jacob it’s called Thank You Scientist, haha. (seriously tho, check them out)
thescottallen thank you scientist is beast!
Matt has truly become one of the legendary greats in the metal drumming scene. I love that he got to show a little bit of a different side than what he showcases in August Burns Red. Dude is a machine, and truly a class act if you ever get the chance to meet him.
The musicianship in this is unbelievably insane, the happiest energy I've ever felt.
I haven't listened to ABR in a few years but dang I forgot how much I love Matt. He's immensely talented and seems like such a genuinely kind guy.
He’s probably rolling out on his tractor right now on his farm, then seamlessly transitions to a killer drummer 😂
Props to Sput for arranging this. It brought Matt's style and the entirety of the band together.
Everyone has a huge smile, that's a sure way to see that it was a blast to play!
A"blast"
I wouldn’t care what level of skill he was on, he’s on the upper echelon of being an incredible human. Truly touching, and you can just tell what his profession does for him. It’s true art and passion.
Can I have a whole album of this? Pleaseeeeeeeeee? This style is amazing. Like Snarky Puppy’s deranged little brother! Want more...
Look how happy everyone is!!!! This was such a great idea to diversify the sessions like this. Kudos to Zildjian, and Sput for writing a master fusion of two wildly different genres, and the WHOLE LOT of em for jamming on it like they did
writing creds are Sput & Mark Lettieri(who wrote a lot of that crazy guitar metal stuff)
god, that blast bell sounds so good.
and he even snuck in some blast beats!!
absolutely loved every second of this video!!
Some parts of this jam reminded me very much of Between the Buried and Me. Very extremely astonishingly exceptionally immensely good! This series is tremendous.
There is nothing in this world that brings people together more than this.
MUSIC!
My god the chemistry. The feeling. It’s stuff like this that makes someone get emotional. It’s freakin beautiful y’all.

Three fusion of metal and jazz here is next to moon. This inspires me and reminds me why I love playing the drums so much.

Alright when is Matt gonna start his Prog Ska side project?
This collaboration was unreal and such a magical fusion of music.
I’m not much of a fan of metal kind of stuff but I LOVED this
@7:44 is one of the coolest highlights! Nice job Matt!
8:27 CHOOSE YOUR PLAYER(Mortal Kombat voice)
Amazing work, amazing sound. Cody Wright just made my head BURST, whew!
Definitely a difficult choice ahahah
Progressive Death Jazz with a little hint of thrash. This is beautiful.

One of my all time favorite drummers. He's a great treat to watch live
Matt Greiner is amazing and Sput’s arrangement skills are other worldly.
Matt is such an inspiration! A mighty mighty humble beast.
You know it’s real when MonoNeon pulls a stank face 4:41
That's insane
Yeah that's legit! It's rare to see MonoNeon making a face. Lot of respect with co bassist Cody Wright! GhostNote family! Yeah!
Honestly, that’s the first time I’ve seen Mono Neon react to something
YEAH!!!!!!!
Lol
Good to see something different this time. Matt is a powerhouse! Very solid and consistent...great drummer. And the bass player is simply amazing, a joy to watch 👌
Awesome to see everyone enjoying themselves and stepping out their own boxes and jamming with a metal dude
Omg. Bring the beast out with the "speed metal"! Yeah boy!
Dude what a kind person. Very glad to see some metal in here
2:25 sput groovin. so awesome. “im in a room full of giants, if i can pop my head up” matt is always so humble. congratulations matt on the long overdue recognition. ABR’s Messengers album made me realize how much i needed to practice lol
I love Matt G. So humble and an inspiration, thank you and ABR for all the beautiful music ❤️
I can't stop smiling just seeing how happy Matt is here playing 😁😁
Been a fan of this monster since the first time I listenned to him at ABR's first album. Bless you Matt
This is probably my 10th time listen to this since it dropped, i keep hearing stuff I didn’t hear the previous listen an it keeps gettin better an better. Matt an ghost notes are absolutely insane
That was so pleasant to hear. All of it. Sick, entertaining, touching. Love you Matt, you're one of my heros
I would love it if Zildjian did a whole season of cats like this; their metal and heavy music roster is pretty stellar
My biggest inspiration as a drummer!
I’ve been watching this video every day since it was released. I can’t stop, it’s so dang catchy. This is seriously such an insane amount of talent sharing the spotlight, it’s ridiculous. Matt is such an amazing soul, and a huge influence to so many drummers (myself included)! This is truly amazing!

This series is full of love..I love it!
one of my favorite drummers right here
Matt has a good point. That bass player kicked ass
Absolutely stonking,right on the money,great,great playing and thank you all..!!

So cool those masters are looking up to someone who plays metal. Metal musicians are always so distant from this academic gigs. Amazing groove and great skills on the side. Good job!!
Riff on 4:10 sounds so much like the instrumental ending of Pillar’s “One Thing” so glad to hear it nowadays!
ShowSumMercy whoah love that song. Nice reference.
ShowSumMercy Forgot about that amazing tune... amazing album, really.
Great song and great band. Lester was basically the reason I started playing drums.
@@RAWKdrummer1 Pillar is classic Bring me down was my favorite
It’s actually my first time to hear this guy...oh man! He’s amazing I will keep listening to this guy from now on!!!
I love Matt greiner!! His band is amazing at concerts and THANK YOU ZILDJIAN!
When I saw Matt Greiner for the 1st time playing Live in Manila Philippines I did Cry, and this video this is the 2nd time you made me cry again. You are such an inpiration the way you talk is more than a drumming, I hope I can fulfill my dreams too, to become part of Zildjian Family
This intro was energizing. Incredible project, you take the best of every drummer's personality....
I loved this from the minute I heard it...amazing!!!
it's so amazzzzing! thanks!
Every musician in this video is a monster! Matt Greiner is amazing!!
Jazzcore
Freakin epic!
Incredible Drummer, Incredible Song, Incredible Band!!!!! Love it ❤️
That might be one of the most beautiful things I've listened to and watched. shout out to Ghost-Note and Matt vibing and making something beautiful.
Matttttttt this was incredible God bless dude
MATT IS A BEASTTTTT can’t wait for the new August burns red album this Friday 🤘🤘
What a amazing guys. Lovely playing❤
So amazing to see such a unique drummer like him step outside of his box and do this!!
He definitely set the bar for this season man this was amazing
I love this, people need to appreciate metal drummers more.
I love how the music is like, metal, rock, funk, R&B and all those good things
but matt is such a metal house but it still works.
Wish more bands played with metal drummers
to add that metal force to songs
Loved it! Thank you zildjian!
This rock and jazz and r&b fusion is amazing
At first I hated this. I’ve now watched twice a day everyday since it’s been uploaded. I fucking love it.
That guy on bass:
True identity: The one friend that writes, plays all the instruments, produces and but plays bass because he can't sing.
Loved the attitude of every musician involved in this. Isn't it wholesome when musicians from different genres come together to play?
More high quality sound, More exciting bass, more beautiful voice mids, more instrumentally appealing highs!!!
