Hey Andrew, you should do a reaction video for micro aggressions! The composition brought tears to my eyes!
This is a subscriber pick... You asked for it. You got it!
Please react to this sir.
Sorry I don't have much to tip you now.
Rock/Metal Drum Cam Original Song - Jan Vincent Velazco
ruclips.net/video/68PRmpPgRfM/видео.html
You're the first one to react to this guy. TIA! 🙏
He is at the top right now for me, all three of the new AAL tracks I'm completely addicted to, satisfying once the groove finds you, and you never can get too relaxed with new parts coming at you, but when you know it's coming, it fits! "The Problem Of Other Minds" is another level, must react. So addicted, that open is my new ringtone
LOVE IT
I wish they showed more from the front Matt makes some great drum faces
Hey Andrew, Luke Holland has a brand new play through with Jason Richardson - Upside down. Definitely worth considering
Oh nice! Please feel free to remind me in a few weeks if you don't see it David!
HeyHey how did I missed this!? :D
Well, better late than never. :)
YES!
The Kings of Polyrhythms lol. When I meet other musicians who dislike odd time sigs I play them some AAL lmao. They look like their heads are gonna explode.
Yep, Garstka is an alien or android ;-) or both :-) Coffee driven animal.
I can feel the smoking coming out of my ears trying to make a winkling of sense of what he just played. Matt is on a whole other level.
YES! Crazy stuff
what's fun is that Animals as Leaders is miles ahead of where they were when I discovered them in 2011ish. Navene left and Matt came along, injecting this different kind of fervor into the percussion. Navene had an indelible imprint on the nature of the music, but Matt took it to another dimension. If you go back and watch his university footage, it was always a matter of when he would shock the world, and with which musical outfit, but never a question of "if". He is a master in theory and performance. He's just a real treat to watch.
He’s incredible. And I need to see more! 🥁🙌
It has been a wild ride listening to AAL develop of the past 12 or so years.
So I purchase every lesson/transcription that Matt puts out because they are so educational.
For monomyth, which I highly recommend buying the transcription, look what he notes about the C section of the song….
“This part of the C section is particularly hard because there are
so many rhythms nested in other rhythms. Take a look at the tom & snare Sequence(23 223 223 23 23 223) occuring within the triplet structure. if boiled down, it sounds like 577557.
Inside of each of the 2's,
we are placing 3 notes. Inside of the 3's, we are placing 5 notes.
So the 3 over 2(in triplets) would essentially be a third of a nontuplet,
while the the 5 over 3(triplet) would essentially be a quintuplet.
The tough part is that these quintuplets are occuring on different partials of the triplet, so you will have to be quite good at feeling
quintuplets and keeping them even. Practice! Practice!
Your ear should remain feeling the 2's & 3's pattern in triplets in 6,
while your limbs will be playing the 3's over 2's and 5's over 3's in triplets.”
😂😂😂😂🤯🤯🤯🤯😢😢😢
Also I would definitely go back and listen to their older stuff because it will probably help see how they got to this type of writing. Its like a mixture of Allan Holdsworth, Meshuggah and King Crimson
Lol math!
Ummmm....wut? LOL
and at the end of the day it's all singles & doubles and duple or triple meter.
Hey man, what part of the song would be the c section? Could someone maybe timestamp it to this video?
@@cornela1 its that noodly guitar part in the music video where all the bald guys are windmill headbanging
What's more impressive about that intro to me is that Matt seems to be alternating the double bass strokes, going RLR LRL and cycling back. Doing this at that speed with your hands is difficult enough; doing it with your feet is just ridiculous.
He just explained that he basically does this because when it resolves back to a new bar it would end on the right foot and he would've had to relearn the pattern with left foot lead, which was going to make it more complicated than it needed to be
@@XJoeyJordison666X I saw his video. I guess his main reasoning behind the alternating pattern is that despite being a lot more technically demanding, it allows him to play it at the speed that the song needs. Trying to do it with a straight RLR RLR pattern is possible, but ridiculously difficult to keep as powerful and as clean as Matt has.
Saw them last night in Phoenix… unreal! I can’t really express how insanely aww struck I was at the musicianship.
Woah! Awesome Rob
Animals as leaders is such a good band, I can’t wait to see them live soon
They put on a fantastic show. I've had the pleasure of seeing them twice, and was blown away both times.
Would love to see them live...will be a great show, for sure :)
@@drummerguy4032 I just recently went to a Dream Theater concert and The opening band Arch Echo reminded me of animals as leaders so I instantly bought tickets right when they scheduled their tour
@@fuzeblackcatmusic5538 I will have to check them out.
They’ re monsters, réal beast, but this music is a little bit soporific for me, they are not messhugah, or king crimson, too many notes, too démonstrative…so i prefer a band like Haken with real musical thèmes
Good stuff, Andrew! Might as well go for the hat trick & do "The Problem of Other Minds." lol It was the 2nd single released in between the two you've already watched.
Thanks Alan!
@Andrew Rooney Drums Tosin has videos on how they put their tracks together @Andrew Rooney Drums...In saying that im still left scratching my head lol....have seen this vid many time...brilliant of course !
One thing I'm noticing about these new AAL tracks is how less room there is for improvising. Like in Joy of Motion the drum parts were obviously insane and well written but there seemed to be some "restraint" given in certain fill sections so Matt could freely improvise over them during live shows. There seemed to be less of this on "Madness of Many" and even less on this new album. I'll be interested to hear how Matt plays this pieces live, if he'll play them almost exactly as on record or continue to chop all over the tracks as if nothing is limiting him.
Yes the music is VERY dense
I would like to suggest Matt's performance with Eldar Djangirov and Henrik Linder as GEM, especially in the song "Vertigo".
First part is very reminiscent of Bleed by Meshuggah.
Good insight Julien!!
233 223 is the grouping for the kick and verse pattern. 1:07 Idk how he keeps the single kick 233 223 pattern on top of all the limb independence like wtf
Bobby Jarzombek is an outstanding drummer. He has played with Fates warning, Halfords, Sabastion Bach, Riot and if you can believe, he is also the drummer for George Strait. The country legend.
judicious is the word. dude has complete control. he's this generations dave weckl. A complete drummer. His ghost notes are as effortless as running when you're 7 or 8 years old.
100% Tyler!
Animals as Leaders is a pretty difficult band to get into sometimes for sure. Obviously the technical prowess is a huge hit to any casual lister, even someone who knows their stuff as well, they're just that good at what they do. There are some more melodic songs that they have too, for something along those lines I would recommend songs like The Brain Dance or Air Chrysalis. Definitely a band worth digging into some more in my opinion :^) Keep up the prog yo
I suggest going to the last album 'The Madness of Many' for some more melodic material which might be a good step into AAL for you... The final track 'Braindance' is extremely melodic and catchy as well as insane!
I love how even you aren't sure of what your listening at. Like me, your baffled.
INSANITY!
Russian dramer daniil svetlov , one of the best Russian dramer: ATL - Ящик (DRUMCOVER) or [AMATORY] - Звездная Грязь (Drum Playthrough) / [AMATORY] - Космо-камикадзе (Drum Playthrough) / [AMATORY] - Эффект Бабочки (Drum Playthrough) / [AMATORY] - Багровый Рассвет (Drum Playthrough) . Chek it
THANK YOU
the downside with getting into animals as leaders is that it's hard to listen to anything else lol. non progressive music is so boring. even some of their gateway songs are boring to me now. the cool thing is that i always feel like i'm discovering something new despite having been a fan for years. some of their songs i didn't like for a long time have become my favorites when something randomly clicked and i "got them". most of all i love their sound but part of the fun is trying to figure out what's happening. once you get it it's the most satisfying feeling ever.
Another band you should listen to is Asymmetric Universe. They’re an instrumental prog band that’s sort of like AAL but they don’t have a lot of songs. Not all of their songs are extremely complex but they do have one that is insane. I forgot what it’s called but you’ll know it when you hear it.
SIDE NOTE: Possibly the most beautiful drum set ever. Garstka makes shit look so easy. His meter ,feel and "in betweens" are nuts . Tosin Abasi as band Leader (see what I did there?) is a string sorcerer and Matt fits perfectly into this universe. Bottomline the music is other worldly.
happy to see you checking out garstka again, even more excited for the new animals as leaders album coming in a couple weeks!
GREAT!
Matt Garska is disgusting, in the best way of this word... Holy crap
Filthy!
This is probably the best way to digest AAL - focus on each musician. You WANT to know what each musician is doing. When they are together, you don't know what to focus upon - it is soooo complex. Tosin is a genius....who did not graduate high school, if you can imagine.
What good is a diploma to a god
Don't worry I like Animals as Leaders and I never saw Monomyth before. This will be fun.
One minor complaint I have with some AAL songs is they always seem to be building but there's never a release. Never opens up, I don't know why but that annoys me. Get the musical equivalent of blue balls.
Haha in an interview Tosin did, he did say some of their songs are built to convey that very feeling.
@@krisiscove Oh good its not just me! hahaha
I'd love to see a reaction for Kyle Brownlee from Counterparts
Thanks for the tip Tom!
I LOVE YOU ( i ask too much time that reaction) ❤️
Just for you :)
Aliens👽👽
YUP!
I don't know what it is . But it's obviously very skilful. I don't really like thrashy music in general . This sounds more jazz or prog to me fundamentally. It reminds me a bit of Ozric Tentacles whom I love but this is a bit heavier guitar and bass . I also like Slipknot in small doses . This is somewhere inbetween to my uneducated ears .
Any way ,my head just fell off with the complexity so thanks Andrew for sharing this . I know we are both staggered by the talent out there .
From one meat and potatoes drummer to another .
Peace and love brother 👍🏻☮❤
Matt is amazing... but I find the lack of Jaime coverage disturbing...
Jaime?
@@AndrewRooneyDrums
Your fellow contryman Jaime Saint Merat.
I know Matt has talked about how he reads music and is cognitive of time signatures and is really intune with that as opposed to just “drumming”
Can't wait for Yoyoka's cover ;-)
RIGHT!?
Yes, when you pass the challenge and the weirdness listening to AAL, they become an obsession. I'm a fan now. Only liked one song for real, "The Brain Dance". But now every song is even better!!!
Hmmmm...I didn't realize Matt switched to DW from Tama. Oh well- either set sounds/tunes nice- he's still using Meinls for that attack sound. Listening to him and Thomas Haake from Meshuggah is a deeply religious Percussion experience.
BTW, have you watched Mike Mangini from Dream Theater playing at Zildjian's Drummers Conference? ruclips.net/video/aDTYWwqchhQ/видео.html
Their second album was the most accessible musically. Everything else is just exhausting.
Great musicians though.
Yes it is exhausting! I hadn't realized, but yes. It's draining
I know this is a 2 year old video but check this out. I saw you got that Bongo Java sitting right there. I went to Belmont with an amazing drummer in a band called Lines In The Sky. You should check them out.
Love that comment about Mat when we tells "it seems he's floating around the drums"; probably in my top 3 with Eloy Casagrande and Alex Rudinger (a part from myself of course :) )
Give yourself the ultimate (brand new) live treat: "Ludwig Stageside w/Art Cruz - "Memento Mori" Lamb of god"
Please do Chris Kontos of Machine Head performing "Rage to Overcome " 2020 live drum cam.
May sound like a bunch of hog-wash but fuck yeah it's so freaking impressive...hey?
I think that this similarly high-quality playthrough of Arithmophobia by Mr. Garstka would be a good foray further into the Animals As Leaders catalogue: ruclips.net/video/LinTNtbNJAc/видео.html
Great reaction as always Andrew! As a non-playing enthusiast I appreciate your perspective as someone with expertise but likewise engaged by this music.
The musical element is lost on me with stuff like this. Ends up feeling pretentious instead, a bit like when jazz musicians go for too many spicy chords.
Please do Mike portnoy with liquid tension experiment acid rain live in LA 2008
Matt made a composition breakdown of Monomyth, worth of watching, though it melted my brain
Matt is the man. Can you please react to the red miso playthrough? That would be nice.. 🤙🏼
Told ya last year, check out savive, it's a drum clinic drum kinda solo. Maybe this time you will listen and check it out!
Matt Garstka has a full video of him explaining how they wrote Red Miso
Technically Matt Is on another planet, but musically AAL is not for me anymore after album number 3. You should, on the other hand, definitely go and see them live, if you have the opportunity. They’re worth it
Nope! I can't play that at all! That's ok, thought. I'll take all those tasty 50 dollar gigs that he will be missing out on! 😆
Why haven’t you checked out Greyson Nekrutman Caravan yet!? What a beast.
You need to stop what your doing and react to Matts drum cam for Inner Assassins. The first time i heard that song i about screamed, the drum break alone is one of the hardest ive ever heard
I head when it comes to writing at least between the two guitarists (3 piece band) they write stuff individually then send it to them for time to come up with something.
You should get a transcript of one of his parts and listen to/watch him play the song with the transcript handy.
could you explain the groove at 3.14 ???
He does a great job filling in the spaces left over from Tosin and Javier ;-)
react to SUGARFOOT Playing Wanna be Startin Somethin
I'm from Brazil and I really like to see Sugarfoot playing
Cool shirt, dude.
Yo thanks!!
Wow 🙏🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Yup!
Matt has spoken about how they come up with the composition. He said that Tosin Abasi (the lead guitarist), usually comes up with the ideas and notes for the songs, but for this specific song Matt came up with the beat (the 2 3 3 2 2 3) and they went from there
Awesome info. Thanks
Great video Andrew! recently Matt posted a video breaking down how he came up with the ideas for this song! man's a genius not only with coming up with ideas but also putting it into practice
🙏
I'm staggered
Nuts Luis!
Please do a reaction to jesse beahler, song eye for an eye!!!!
The dude is insane.
Yup!
Yeah, that's awesome! I love watching his hands and legs move. So much passion!
Definitely Marlene!
This is sooo good 👍🏻 Matt is a complete monster 👻
So good Jamie!
Just so good! Like you said the first listen with them is tough, but once you get past that, you can’t get enough.
100% Derek!
Sorry, but Red miso is a must :)
You would like “one decade” more 👌👌👌
Matt is a beast. How does he keep up with the time signatures?
The "mmmm" you hear at 1:48, I call that a tasty beat.
Ba dum tss
My favorite drummer alive.
Love this with the explanation at the end.. i have no problem sayin this is wayyyyy above my drummin knowledge "pay grade" but we can always get little nuggets and ideas !! 🤘
If you're in for some even more confusing stuff, I recommend checking out some of his work with Casimir Liberski and Louis de Mieulle. His stylistic versatility really shines there: fusion, pop, latin, jazz influences all over -- and a fair amount of more "meat and potatoes" drumming, laid on top of viciously complex patterns / time sigs / modulations. Somewhere out there is a Violente Absinthe playthrough of his which you could take a look at!
Hey, Andrew. Just a tip: I think you would enjoy to download "ad block" in your browser. It'll make the ads disappear, stopping them to annoy yours experience while watching videos.
P.S.: PLEASE, PLEASE, REACT TO THE COVER VIDEOS OF OWEN DAVEY, PRINCIPALLY THE DREAM THEATER ONES!!! HE DOES A FULLY INSTRUMENTAL COVER AND IT'S MAGNIFIC!
My head just exploded!!! And I loved it!
🤯🙌
LISTEN TO THEIR TRACK ECTOGENESIS!!!!!
I think I did that one?
You've done tooth and nail, Gordian naught, and monomyth. Just listening to your commentary, these 3 guys are total music nerds...and some of the most talented musicians playing. Random fact: Tobin abasi, who founded AAL, programmed the first ep drums digitally, with help from Misha Mansoor (periphery anyone?!)..so my suggestion comes because tooth and nail was not an original comp by garstka, and the new stuff kinda heady..ectogenesis was the first track I heard of theirs, on the album before Gordian naught. Lol or maybe you're tired of people trying to push you into liking them haha
And i know this may not be the place for it, but I watched your videos on Josh freese, and wanna say was a super smart signing for Foo fighters, and one of my all time fav drummers. Kinda crazy, Dave grohl recorded with teeth for NIN, Josh freese joined the touring band that followed, and now following Dave again.
Having only played brass and bass I am gobsmacked watching him. I've watched this video seven times and I still can't follow what he's doing. It's nice to see that even a drummer can feel the same way
This is some great dance music.
Nerdy stuff for sure, but interesting. Somehow clinical, but love it anyway. Tiresome, lacks those easy melodies, places for rest.
Yes, do more AAL.
Nic Pettersen (Northlane) - Genesis/Scarab Drum Playthrough would be a nice pick :-)
Great follow up! This is a great band, they're amazing live. Defs check out some more Matt videos when you can :)
Hey Andrew! I been waiting for you to get back to Matt. Don't forget his work with mienl called G.E.M You will love it. And Connor will also. His favorite bassist plays in it. Lol I don't know if Hendrik is his favorite. It's amazing stuff. Have a great day man!
DAVE WECKL DAVE WECKL DAVE WECKL
You’ve done a lot of AAL drums but how about just a track? So you can get a full experience. A good one would be paramexer because its different than what you’ve heard.
WOW! That was FIRE!
OH MY. super tasty 🤯
Got to check out red miso
Wow! What a pleasant surprise. Very rich sound that I really, really like. More please!
I'll def check out more!!!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Matt garstka's playthrough of 'Micro-Aggressions' came out today on the Meinl Cymbals channel 😱🤯😲
No matter how many times I listen to AAL, it still blows my mind that they are only 2 guitar players and a drummer.
Luke Holland - Mirrors
I've done it!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums have you uploaded it already? I don’t recall watching it and I can’t find it.
@@i.r.drummer Oh damn!
I've done 3 vids on Luke and I was sure I'd done it. I'll add it to my list!!
If I were to suggest one song Andrew, relatable to any audience and equally shows the madness of Matt's drumming would be Physical Education. It is truly educational, and every placement of ghost note on snare is very well thought out!
The band discussed the song writing process with Rick Beato a few weeks ago. A lot of it comes down to taking exercises, new techniques, and effects they find interesting and fleshing them out into songs that lets them explore those further. One great example is one of their new tracks "Red Miso" which started with finding a new delay effect they really liked the sound of. I'd suggest that playthrough next.
Exactly. Got obsessed with Animals As Leaders a while ago. For weeks and months.
