      Maybe just my opinion but I think Matt’s a show off and I think Tosin and Javier have let him show off to the detriment of the music. JoM was perfect because Matt was clearly just trying to play like the first album (Halpern ftw). They let Matt lose and Matt is playing ultra technical stuff that has no soul. Just my opinion.

    • @12marklar
      @12marklar 2 года назад +3

      When you learn drums like that it is muscle memory. You have that skill on tap. In regard to that, you will have a decent amount of time to allot to other areas since the instrument is already learned to a masterful extent (referring to Matt's ability). That would be my guess. Not to say playing like that doesn't and didn't require mass amounts of effort and creativity.

    I can appreciate that this is metal in 2022. Tosin looks like a beatnik poet. Matt is your hippie uncle. Javier fits the role of "good dad of 2 daughters". 😂

    His face expressions. I remember my younger brother open his mouth like that when he was using all of his Brain power playing video games. I also do when I’m super concentrated. Takes a lot of Brain Ram memory to keep all that in perfect sync. This man it’s an animal.
