Love the vids , and your work, I've been gigging with a Dw purple heart kit for the last 3 years and was wondering if you have ever ran into any weirdness with the bass drum lugs? Geeky question but your a dude to ask! Take care man
I'm a truck driver, lol please god stop using those grabby boys and use some ratchet straps or something of the sort to secure that kick and that hardware to the riser. One hard stab of the brakes from the driver, and those grabby boys aint grabbing. not telling you how to do your job lol, but this makes me nervous @mattisnotuncool
FINALLY, an actual video of somebody being a drum tech and doing the thing, as opposed to 3 minutes of actual footage, followed by 20 minutes of commentary babble about what they ate for dinner. Awesome video, man!
Man, I had zero intention of watching an entire 45 minute video, especially when I am up against a deadline, in the middle of editing my own next video, but as a drummer myself, watching you was just so cool. Truly outstanding at your chosen profession!
I stumbled upon this video because I've been reviewing drum kits, I live in the north and I thought it would be a great hobby to pick up in the winter for those days I don't feel like going to the gym or doing anything, I can go play for an hour for cardio and learn a new skill! So obviously all of this is WAY above my head but I still watched the entire video, it was that good!
Really enjoyed this video. It may not look like a big deal, but when a drummer can just sit down knowing everything is taken care of, it is a big deal. Respect!
Matt, I've played drums and idolized drummers for 48 years. This video is one of the best I have ever watched! Thank you for showing me what you do to make sure another drummer (wish it was me) can have a smooth and consistent run of shows. I truly enjoyed it from start to finish. And I commend you for not screaming "FUCK OFF" at the idiot yelling in your ears at load out. Ida kicked his ass.
Hey Matt, love your videos. As a former semi professional musician, I can really appreciate all of it. It’s almost therapy for me. I’ve watched about five so far start to finish. I’ll be seeing them all for sure and looking forward to more. Good job, man thanks.
I also use triggers to open the gates. Heres how it works. When you go into the channel for each drum, you can choose what the mixer is using to determine when the gate opens and closes. Typically the default option is "self", aka the mic that the channel itself is using. Variations of this include self pre eq, and self post eq. Another option entirely is sidechain to another channel. This is what's happening with the trigger. The gate on the tom channel is completely ignoring the mic, and only listening to the trigger instead. This way, even if the snare is wicked loud, it doesnt open up the gate and get bleed into the toms mics.
Coming from largely acoustic settings, it's amazing how many mics go onto a kit like this. But it makes sense: in an arena situation playing metal, mic bleed is flat-out unavoidable, so to deal with it... you trigger the mics!
For anyone wondering what the heck a “gate” does (and why a trigger is being used for this task) it basically shuts off the microphone until the sound from that microphone gets to a certain volume, in which case it turns “on” the mic for whatever amount of time that the sound guy decides (usually one second or less) only to turn off again when that sound isn’t loud. A piezo trigger can do this task more immediately than a microphone can, and when it’s attached the drum itself it’s way less susceptible to a different loud drum or cymbal hit making the microphone think that the volume level set to open the gate (aka “threshold”) has been hit. Great video Matt!
I knew I recognized the name you were the drummer for The Word Alive back in the days. I remember following you way back when and checking your instagram videos of playing the drums. Amazing drummer and now an amazing drum tech, Luke couldnt ask for a more detailed and well done job in taking care of those beauties.
Behind a good band is an even better crew! Crews never get enough credit for their part in getting everything ready for a show. Great to be able to see your POV of a work day, thanks for sharing!
You're so freaking cool, Matt. And a fabulous drum tech. Making sure the tiny details are in order (no loose screws inside the snare, checking if the heads were warped,) just goes to show that you know your shit. Loved watching this 45 minute journey! Keep videos like these coming 👏🔥
Thankyou so much phantom! After doing this for years you learn to check for these tiny details quickly because they can cost you lots of time later if you miss them.
I still remember the first time watching this video and I still love it to this day! Also, since then, I've seen more channels doing this kind of POVs: other drum techs, drummers, tour managers, etc. I do believe you started a trend my friend!
I am not a drummer (my son is), but I’ve played guitar for ~30 years. I find the process of setting up, checking, and tuning the drums before each show mesmerizing. The tear down was also pretty rad. I have a ton of respect for the professionalism and consistency to your approach. I’ve always wanted to be a guitar tech and have zero delusions about how much work it is for every show for you. Made it all the way to the end would love to see another one of these at another arena somewhere down the road. Great stuff!
This is the drum tech video the world needed. Also, spot for documenting some of your thought process on the set up. I learned a few tricks watching this!
I’m just starting my career into the music industry as a drummer and I’m always looking at videos like these to learn as much as I can and be as employable as possible. I’ve been hoping a video like this pops up showing absolutely everything a tech is responsible for on a show day at a level like FIR and of the size this show was. Can’t thank you enough, consider me educated 😂
Really cool to see the behind-the-scenes, especially since this particular venue is where I saw some of my first shows, and because at one point in my life, I aspired to be in this business. Something important for us civilians to understand is that there is a whole invisible crew of people behind the ticket purchase that allow our concert experience to be optimal. It's easy to forget because they're out of view, but these folks work their a**ses off to give us a seamless experience. Thanks to all of you backstage for the work you do.
Seeing the floating riser set up tells me all i need to know about the quality and standard of the production teams work! Loved this video. As a drummer and former stage manager/back line tech the background noises of the show getting set up for the day is nostalgic! keep up the killer work!
Such a nice video to watch! Thank you for uploading this. I´m a drumtech myself so it´s always so cool to see how other people work. Great Job man, you´re the best.
Duuuuude. I work as an stage electrician and i know the hard effort every do. Thank you so much for beeing a fundamental piece for the show. My respect and greetings from Argentina. I'm a drummer too. 🙂🥁🔥
this felt like a documentary!!! please please please do more of these videos even if its just the next show its super interesting and entertaining to watch!!!!
Watched the whole thing like a complete nerd! Fascinating to see what happens to get the kit ready. I had no idea the main bulk of the kit would remain set up and transported like that! Great stuff. Cheers for taking the time to film (almost) the whole thing. 🤘🙂👍
I absolutely made it that far in the video! All the hard work people dont see.. you guys deserve way more credit than you get.. I See alot of bands always thanking the crew on stage during shows as well they should! you guys are the behind the scenes dream machines! making them come true every show! you have earned a new sub sir!
Loved the video, I’ve been playing drums for 40 plus years and did this so many times by myself, loved the perspective and the fact that you took the time to record and post so we can see what you do and go through. Much appreciated.
Man what a job! Having the opportunity to do that for Luke has to be amazing! You're a badass friend, and worker! It's awesome you're sharing content like this in a POV!
I think the keys to being a premiere drum tech are processes and procedures. You have both. Doing the same thing every time, whether it’s tuning, retuning immediately before, following the FOH instructions or placing your bungees in the same spot so that you always know where they are, you have to do these things so that your customer (drummer) receives the same experience every night. And then so can the paying crowd. Being so careful and meticulous is an art form unto itself. And you’re a kick ass drummer in your own right. Congrats on a terrific video!
Greetings from South Korea! I’ve had no chance to see how the technicians work hard for the show to run perfectly. Appreciate your hard work and for the video to get to know about behind the scenes! Time flew while watching your video. Cheers!
Truly one of the most entertaining drum tech videos I've watched! From one gear head to another, I love the attention to detail, not only to the drums themselves but to the craft of playing drums. Subbed and look forward to watching more great content!
I used to be a stage hand for 3 years, so this was very interesting for me to watch. Reminded me of the old days, watching you guys set up and always trying to offer a hand
I really really wish more high end drum techs like yourself did these type of things…this kind of life as always intrigued me and I appreciated all your hard work. Shit wouldn’t function without people like you. Thanks for the insider view, super informative!!
Great video man! I'm a drummer myself and I'm in a band, and we're hoping to get the opportunity to play shows like this one day. Keep doing what you're doing, you're awesome!
Thanks for the insight at this level of artistry. Really enjoyed seeing what goes into your job and passion. Also enjoyed seeing this drummers setup and how much thing have progressed over the years.
That was a lot of fun to watch. I watched every minute. Brings back great memories when I was a drum tech in the late 80's, early 90's for a local band in Arizona called Kidd Nasty. So much fun. Thank you for posting this video.
This is so cool… as a drummer myself this is a dream job! I can see how much you enjoy what you do. I appreciate all of the people behind the scenes at all of these concerts and all of the hard work you guys do so that we can have an awesome experience!!
Awesome 👌 I'm in the process of watching new one of Todd Sucharman's tech has a new one out from STYX. I really like this one and this is a small kit I can't imagine one like Sucharman and some of those guys.
I started this and realized it was gonna be so cool so I went and got food and then sat down to watch you do your thing! Such a dope video and what a great look into your day-to-day!
I did make it that far. I play in a few bands, rock, reggae, blues, and it doesn’t change. Set up, play, tear down, move to the next one. It’s a long way to the top…. Great video, thanks!
I love that would not have local stage hands help tear down the kit. I totally get that. I've seen some gnarly stuff happen as I know you've had too as well. Great video!
Buddy, I absolutely loved this. So much fun to watch you do your thing and show off all the little important details that go into making a show happen. I do miss this❤
This video was so much fun to watch! The care, the hard work, and the incredible attention to detail you put into the role absolutely shows and it really made me emotional watching it. Thank you!
This is an awesome video. It's cool to see the behind the scenes. The minute you took the drums out of the box. I knew it was Luke Hollands. Thanks for this look into all the hard work. 🤘
Algorithm put this in my recs, absolutely hit the asmr spot for putting it in the background while i wake up and drink some coffee. Great video, keep it up
Final got to watch the whole thing . Thanks for taking us through your day and giving a look at some of what it takes to make a show go off without a hitch.
Love this vid my brother! Fantastic drum tech work!! We work our tails off from city to city as musicians on tour but it's all of the tech's, crews, drivers, etc. that do just as much, if not way more many nights, than we do. Besides, whenever I introduce my tech I always say "This is ??, he does all the work so I can look like I know what I'm doing up there!" Keep up the great work! Looking forward to more of your vids from the road. Travel well friends.
Thank u Matt I always wanted to c wat goes on and how everything folds and unfolds behind the scenes of a rock concert ur job is the beez kneez and ur an amazing drummer urself thanx again man u gained a new fan 🤘
That drum set has been through so much of a journey... many warped tours, years, shows, etc. I saw him at the St. Louis Warped Tour in 2016 and he had this set.
I'm new to your channel and I'm loving it! I'm not a musician, I cook bbq for a living but I'm liking the behind the scenes content. If you're ever in El Paso TX, look me up. 👍

I knew when I saw the snare in the thumbnail that it looked familiar!
They're the hero drummer's deserve. A silent guardian. A watchful protector in the shadows. A Drum Tech.
That was beautiful, man.
absolutely agreed. boring day-to-day routine that is in fact becomes a killer show.
Nicely put!! Btw, you’re a f’n beast & I’m subscribed to you too!!

Worth the 51 mins to watch. This was sick.
Such a very cool view of what all goes into getting set up for every show. People really have no idea how much WORK is involved. You RAWK. !!

Brings back a lot of memories, man. Thanks for making these videos!
How was your experience teching for Luke? Would love to hear your pov of this side of production!! Thank you for this awesome video 🔥🔥
Always watch every second man. I hope to see you one day on tour. I'm making this my reality
I love how no matter what, if you’re involved with drumming at any level, you lose drum keys, I love it.
I lose about 100 of them a year 23 years into my drumming career lol
I'm a drummer and this is a cool POV from you. I love how you do stuff step by step. There's a lot to do when you have a drum kit
Love this BTS look at what it takes to put on a show like this!
Great job man !!! So professional and methodic. Thanks for show us how it's looks to be you for one show I learned a few cool things. Cheers !!!
Amazing video, I'm really curious about the fact that you guys load in the kick drum and stands directly with the platform??? That's craaaazy
I've seen some bands leave the entire kit on the risers and load it into the truck. Seems like a bad idea to me.
@@truckingdrummer yeah right? I mean, they are the ones who know how does it work but for me looks too risky.. I'm curious about it
What a beautiful kit! Working on such high end instruments, is such a joy!
Come pick my brain about drums - www.twitch.tv/matthorndrums
We needs more vid like these,, especially I'm Hughes fan oF LH 💕
Thank you Matt for making such an amazing Video .. we love you 🤍
Loved the video. Could watch everyday, something we as drummers do day in and out but always enjoyable to see others do.
Thanks for the insight at this level of artistry. Really enjoyed seeing what goes into your job and passion. Also enjoyed seeing this drummers setup and how much thing have progressed over the years.
being my own drumtech i love learning from these kinds of videos... new techniques and even ways to save time ... appreciate you MATT and Justin!!!
Stumbled upon your channel. Subscribed after 2 minutes. I have always been fascinated with this side of the show. Great video and awesome drumming.
Great video! I love the different perspective that you provide, and how much hard work it takes to set these shows up!
You're welcome! Kick ass video! Always wanted to see something like this. Safe travels!

Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to film and edit this! Great insight.

We work our tails off from city to city as musicians on tour but it's all of the tech's, crews, drivers, etc. that do just as much, if not way more many nights, than we do. Besides, whenever I introduce my tech I always say "This is ??, he does all the work so I can look like I know what I'm doing up there!" Keep up the great work! Looking forward to more of your vids from the road. Travel well friends.
Thank u Matt I always wanted to c wat goes on and how everything folds and unfolds behind the scenes of a rock concert ur job is the beez kneez and ur an amazing drummer urself thanx again man u gained a new fan 🤘
That drum set has been through so much of a journey... many warped tours, years, shows, etc. I saw him at the St. Louis Warped Tour in 2016 and he had this set.
This is the best tech video I’ve seen.
Great job 👏🏼
Please make more so I can live through you and pretend like I’m not a slave to the system. 😅
Made it all of the way through. Thank you very much for sharing! Loved the behind the scenes view.
I'm new to your channel and I'm loving it! I'm not a musician, I cook bbq for a living but I'm liking the behind the scenes content. If you're ever in El Paso TX, look me up. 👍
