    • @TheLongboardingkid
      @TheLongboardingkid 7 лет назад +24

      The stick hits at the right time, but just to be clear, he hits the cymbal to actually make the noise.

    • @TheLongboardingkid
      @TheLongboardingkid 6 лет назад +4

      Actually, now that I watch it in slow motion, the stick hits the wrong cymbal. He is still a god though, no arguments about that

    • @TNastyD
      @TNastyD 8 лет назад +38

      +Raden Bangga No drummer ever intentionally drops his sticks. Im not taking anything away from him i love him but just because he is as good as he is doesnt mean he doesnt fuck up. Hes still a human. Gene hoglan fucks up. John bonham fucked up a lot. Doesnt mean they suck but you cant expect perfection 24/7 365. Everyone has off days. I think they ran out of time and this was the best take they could get in the time he had.

    • @sulovet
      @sulovet 8 лет назад +40

      +Raden Bangga wtf do u mean by he played it better than Luke Holland? First of all, Garstka wrote this song with AAL, and second, Luke's cover was amazing. What does that stupid comparison have to do with anything?

    • @TNastyD
      @TNastyD 8 лет назад +1

      @gordonchristophertubo3164 2 года назад +15

      Accuracy AND precision. Very rare combo.
      Edit: If he was a laboratory equipment and the snare is the test result, we would be six sigma and wouldn't worry about QC.

      Man if I had those Meinl Byzance, which is arguably one of the best cymbal lineup out there, I'll be even scared to hit them hard. While Matt here is just beating them like they owe him money

  • @poppapunker6238
    @poppapunker6238 7 лет назад +166

    To be able to drop a stick and then go into that ridiculous ass section on the kick drum and play it flawlessly is truly impressive.

  • @nuke97
    @nuke97 7 лет назад +325

    Seriously if you thumb down a Matt Garstka drumming video its one of two reasons. You have no idea what you're witnessing and hearing or you quit drums due to watching this.

      The high quality of his playing knocked me out of my chair. When I came to I guess I was holding my phone upside down because I meant to hit the thumb up but I hit the other.

    • @samuelmaney1250
      @samuelmaney1250 4 года назад +10

      Adah BombDon those Meinl cymbals are made, to withstand those kind of hits. Matt wasn’t just randomly laying down hard hits on them. That’s a heavier part of the song and he was FEELING that. If you’ve ever even played the drums, you would know that it happens all the time.

    What gets me is the tiny wear mark area on the snare. He's hitting that in the same place exactly every time. Marks on my snare are all over the place! Great precision.

    Dude, you are the best drummer that I watch in RUclips. When you drop the stick you proved that you are human like me hahaha. Very good job you did, best drummer ever. I hope that I can play like you some day in the future.
