Hi Matt, you amazing drummer, and me like very much your drumkit.. but I'm not understand what need this tablet what you have on your left part close to your closed hihat, .. click? Backing tracks? Or something else?..🤟🤟🤟
Thank you! The tablet is what I use to start the intros and 2-3 songs each tour that have a backing track because they have a keyboard part that must be there (like Eye of the Witch).
@@mattthompsondrums thanks for answer 👍.yes I'm remember "The Eye"have this keyboard in al song.I thing this it's great solution, we too have backing tracks when we play live because not al we can replace what we recording in the studio..😉.. I'm using a laptop and a little mixer for my inear monitor, but I'm thing this it's a great solution I'm send you as performance when you want you can listen 😉..thanks Matt for your time..👍🏻👍🏻ruclips.net/video/nGZCbsRImIY/видео.html
the count laugh made the video for me! haha. It's funny when Beavis and Butthead watched the Family Ghost they mistook King for the count. They ripped on him pretty hard unfortunately which was the one thing I never understood with Beavis and Butthead being apparent metal fans. Awesome show last month in Dallas as always.
Toms: Remo clear Emperor batter, clear Ambassador resonant. Kicks are Remo clear Power Stroke 3 batter...not sure about the front. Black with Tama logo. 😛
Hey from Tennessee...I've been a Diamond fan since Merciful Fate...Good to see you guys are going strong!! Beautiful kit man! You are a great drummer sir!!
Hi Matt! Question...before de la pandemic,iban a hacer una gira a sudamerica,pasaron por Mexico y luego tocaban en Brasil y se suspendió, estaba incluida la Argentina en ésa gira,or not?I dont know speaking english,excusme Matt...
@@mattthompsondrums Hi Matt!question...why want not Bendix venir a la Argentina?se fué very very angry de my country? Vinieron a Chile in 2017 y no pasaron por Argentina...
Hi Matt - big fan from Australia! Just out of curiosity, is there any reason you like to have your closed hats next to the open hats rather than on the right (traditional Aux hats) ? Just Wondering what the benefits would be!
It may have been a set up issue? Some tours I have it on my right, some on my left. I’m ok with it either way. At home I have it at my 1 ‘o clock above my rack toms (currently).
Been a diamond fan since its inception, you my friend are deserving of a solo on tour.. was somewhat disappointed in orlando when you didn't get to jam...
your kit sounded amazing. I was at the Atlanta show. first time seeing king diamond and definitely on my top favorite shows. it was so tight. your fills were insane.
Very cool !!!!!!! See you next tour !!!!!🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Awesome kit!!! 🤘
Thanks for sharing! You're an awesome wicked good Drummer!!
Thanks again 🤟😎🤘
Thank you!
nice

You are the best Matt, hi from Mexico
Very interesting idea on the placement of x hats.
At home I put them on my right side above the 12” and 14” toms, but it bleeds a lot into the mics

Hey Matt what heads are you using on the toms and kicks?
Toms: Remo clear Emperor batter, clear Ambassador resonant. Kicks are Remo clear Power Stroke 3 batter...not sure about the front. Black with Tama logo. 😛
mattthompsondrums Thats what it looked like to me but wanted to confirm. You ever try the pinstripes for tom batters?
Yes, I bought pinstripes exclusively from ‘86-to around ‘90 or so!
What kind of crashes do you use ?
They are all Rude crashes, 18, 2 19s, and a 20”.

Scott Wall/Painting thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
I love the kit! Very nice! Cant wait too hear how it sounds live.
You’re an amazing drummer. I finally got to see you live at the Wiltern in Los Angeles! Come back soon!
Thank you! 🙏

Hi José, I think Argentina was being talked about but it didn’t end up on the schedule. But I’m not sure 100%.
@@mattthompsondrums thanks!!!abrazos for you and Kim Bendix from Argentina!

@@josedariojugo5609 I don’t know 🤷🏼♂️
@@mattthompsondrums whats band listen you,Matthew?
is that alesis drum brains for drum samples?
No, it is to start intros and to start sequences for the songs that must have the keyboards (Eye of the Witch, Behind These Walls).
@@mattthompsondrums oh i see. that's pretty cool.

Mega excellent office Matt!!!!
any buttkicker?
No, nothing like that. I’d be interested in trying the Porter and Davies, but it’s very expensive.
Thanks Matt 🤘😎🤘

Looking great, Matt!😃
Damn 🤘
