I remember when Matt came to Costa Rica about a year and a half ago. He came for a drum clinic and while it was still in progress a girl had an epileptic attack. I think Matt isn’t a medic, but the very first thing he tried to do was help her. He immediately got out of his drum set and he didn’t care about the clinic anymore, he just wanted to help. At the end everything went ok and the girl started to feel better. Just wanted to leave this here so that everyone know the type of person that is Matt: the one that loves people. God bless!
I love watching Matt play. Every time I watch him play, I laugh because I remember him saying he'd play in a worship band if not ABR. I just imagine this level of playing behind something like Christ Tomlin. Gives me chuckles every time.
I play drums for our worship group and I definitely can say I incorporate things I've learned from listening and watching Matt. People ask why I play as well as I do and I tell them it's because of who I watch and try to practice to. Most people don't like it when it's ABR, but can't say they are bad musicians lol.
Matt gave me a free hour long drum lesson years ago because I couldn't afford it. He even signed sticks and everything. He is everything awesome with drumming and being compassionate.
A long time ago, I lost everything I owned. Almost became homeless. Lost my DW drum set to a storage facility I couldn't pay. Fell on hard times. ABR music kept me going. I listened to their first and second albums almost religiously. Pulled me through. Now, I'm a foot and ankle surgeon. Watching these videos and seeing his face of pure enjoyment while playing is something I truly miss. One day I will buy myself another set when the time is right and return to living a life of musical enjoyment. Thanks Matt. Hope to meet you again.
I remember being in highschool thinking "wow, matt played every drum fill, lick, and chop in existence all on one album" ...yet here we are 13 years and many albums later with more amazingness up his sleeve
I don’t really want to be that guy, But what he’s doing isn’t really that complex. Learn your rudiments and feel and listen to what’s being played by the other members and you got yourself Matt’s drums. I will say, he plays more melodically and on time than most drummers. He’s definitely talented 🤘🏻🔥 Edited; spelling
@@octogrim6606 I totally agree with you!! He is a great hard hitting drummer but not the hardest stuff to play. The simplicity makes it more enjoying tho.
Maurice Motors and there it is, I fucking know guy. He’s a good drummer, still. I never ever doubted that. But if you must know, yes, I can, and do. Now, move along 🤘🏻
I had pleasure to meet Matt and talk with him for 30mintues before their gig in Krakow, Poland. He is one of the nicest person you can imagine. That's why I call ABR "my friend's band" :D I follow rock/metal stage for years now and frankly speaking I don't find it so exciting anymore. Except every August Burns Red song - you are keep ‘on smashing my brain's off. Good job lads!
I wish my favorite drummer (THE REV) Was still alive so I could see him put out videos like this in 2020. Matt, the Rev, and leche, from as blood runs black have always been on another level in my mind. They just do things your brain isn't trained to hearing on a drum kit, and when you do hear it, you think "how is he going to line that fill up with the rythem" and you always end up with shit in hour britches saying "oh, that's how, what the actual fuck"
@@NightlyDaymare13 I highly suggest that you check out the Faraway Places and Phantom Anthem instrumentals in case you didn't know about them. They're both fantastic
Absolute fucking beast. The nicest person I've ever met. This dude is the definition of of humbleness and hard work. I'm proud to call him my favorite musician.
2:57 onwards is just so perfect I don't have the words to describe it. Sneaky difficult, while not being too much and then when it opens up again it hits full speed immediately. Just perfect writing
I have to admit that I dont often comment on youtube stuff however, Matt is one of the nicest humans beings out there and easily the best drummer of all time IN MY OPINION.... but my god look how happy the guy is mashing those drums up!!!!!!!!!! Love the passion and LOVE LOVE LOVE August Burns Red.... Keep up the amazing work guys!!!!! The metalcore scene wouldnt be the same without you!
It is such a bliss watching Matt play and how much he enjoys it himself! Many people have already said how nice Matt is and I really can’t back it up enough. So humble and positive in every way.
The smile he has on his face, the joy, the passion, the head banging, watching a person do what they truly love is such a beautiful sight that brings a tear to my eye :')
He is so fun to watch. Idk if anyone who sounds like this either. The music is so complex and variant, yet he looks so relaxed playing it. MOAR please!
ABR has always had an impact on my life. Matt, being one of the reasons i started drumming. Dude is just incredible, behind the drums and in front of them.

Shout from Brazil! We love you Matt! Keep doing music like this
I love everything about this: The way his drums kinda "narrate" the whole song by changing rhythms while guitars stay the same in some parts; his amazingly creative and tight fills, the energy and fun he has playing. Awesome stuff! (I'm not even a drummer and I can't stop watching stuff like this :P )
This was amazing, i already love this album so much and watching you play through this makes it a million times better. its really impressive how you play everything just makes sense. love it man
The fact that this version is the instrumental and not the full version makes it that much sweeter when I really listen to this song. The lyrics are amazing.
This man is a god on the drum set. All them technical and offbeat drum fills are just incredible and how he can perfectly stay on tempo is beyond me. Btw abr is so good!
Thank you for actually playing through the song and recording it, as opposed to just playing to the record drums. Just goes to show you can replicate your performance anywhere. Much love from CA!
MAN HE IS JUST PERFECT HE REALLY IS, IT CANT BE DONE BETTER. THERES NO WAY TO IMPROVE HOW HE PLAYS IT. ITS FLAWLESS. ITS EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT, AND HIS STYLE PROVIDES THAT. FLAWLESS
Matt is awesome. I have loved ABR for a long time and have always honed in on the great guitar work being a guitar player myself. Matt has given me new found respect on what he greatly contributes to this amazing band. Keep up the great work Matt and ABR. Hope to see more videos in the future like this showing off your amazing skill set. Thanks!
Thank you cameraman for not being on a boat while filming this. We appreciate it.
Hahah great comment
That seems like a slight dig at a certain other drummer ... and I like it
Das some Chris Turner's cameraman would do lmao
the little things that make a huge difference 😅
Right?! I couldn’t watch that other one. Headache and motion-sick within 20 secs.

That’s ABR as a whole
She probably seized from watching him play 😂
@@paultextor4673 lmao! Well played good sir
He’s a drummer and a hero
a drum clinic?...
Most metronomes use a “Matt Greiner” to keep proper time.
🤣
Beautifully said
That or a ‘Chris Turner’
Seriously impressive rythym.
Amazing comment
1:17 "Maybe I'll hit THIS cymbal next..."
... why not? 🙄
Golden😂
Priceless ! xD
Honestly!!😂😂😂
the man.
the myth.
the LEGEND.
THE Matt Greiner.
One of the best, if not the best drummer EVER!
Thirty and Seven: "Oh, they're gonna like this"
Paramount: "They ain't ready"
Sorry, i didnt understand
Lucas Pontes it’s got a very “Thirty and Seven”-y breakdown
@@lucaspontes4147 if songs could speak... that's what they would say. This album is even better than expected
Ohhh thanks I get it
I love watching Matt play. Every time I watch him play, I laugh because I remember him saying he'd play in a worship band if not ABR. I just imagine this level of playing behind something like Christ Tomlin. Gives me chuckles every time.
If that would be the case sadly he wouldn't develop himself as much as a drummer as he is with ABR
I've actually heard him play worship music, and it still sounded amazing tho. don't get me wrong, his metal playing is the best I've ever heard.
I play drums for our worship group and I definitely can say I incorporate things I've learned from listening and watching Matt. People ask why I play as well as I do and I tell them it's because of who I watch and try to practice to. Most people don't like it when it's ABR, but can't say they are bad musicians lol.
You're welcome. 💁

toxicbagel haha thank you very much for that. Gave me a good laugh because of it being so different in tone. Specifically the fill around 2:00.
Matt gave me a free hour long drum lesson years ago because I couldn't afford it. He even signed sticks and everything. He is everything awesome with drumming and being compassionate.
My drums don't do that, pls help
😆😆😆
He is possessed by some drummer spirit 😂
Ha
Have you tried turning them off and then back on again?
Practice.
A long time ago, I lost everything I owned. Almost became homeless. Lost my DW drum set to a storage facility I couldn't pay. Fell on hard times. ABR music kept me going.

I'm not surprised that this was amazing.
I've been a fan for over 10 years. Matt is a joy to watch, looks like the happiest guy on Earth.
Anybody else catch the Tunak Tunak Tun at the end? Fucking legendary
?
lmao
@@elysisch1004 still dont get it lol 😂
@@trextonhaldeman323 4:32 to 4:34 I think, the notes Matt plays sounds like what Gear Gods is referring to

Always has been incredible how Matt comes up with these patterns
Thank you for the 100+ likes everyone!

The switch to left-foot lead at 2:39 put the biggest smile on my face.

I can’t find a drummer that compliments a bands guitars better than this man can. Everything is perfection
Ever since I got into ABR in 2018 he's been my favorite drummer. This playthrough is awesome.
This is why I love these guys. Favorite drummer since '07 and going strong. Absolutely mind blowing!
HIGHLY underrated
Jusy because of his open about JESUS

Yes he is an amazing drummer and my inspiration to play over the past 10 years or so su h an amazing musician
*My mans in the drummer gods pantheon!*
Nothing wrong with Jake, I love his vocals, but ABR instrumentals just hit different. Especially when drums sound as clean as they do here.
An album of instrumentals? I'd buy it twice.
@@NightlyDaymare13 I highly suggest that you check out the Faraway Places and Phantom Anthem instrumentals in case you didn't know about them. They're both fantastic
@@r2dabes I strongly appreciate the reccomendation. Since we're passing gems, you've been introduced to TesseracT?
@@NightlyDaymare13 I'll check them out once I fully wake up in the morning lol, thanks!
@@r2dabes spend your morning with Polaris. Thank you. 🙌🏽
I’m just saying I get chills every time
that opening fill gets me every time
@3:45 every. single. time
Pure Art...Pure talent, sweat and muscles.... Beautifully and powerfully presented 🔥🖤
i watch this playthrough about once a week. Watching him love and enjoy his job...makes me wish i had this talent. You are blessed Matt
He writes a lot of the bands lyrics as well. Dudes got inspiration. You could even say it's otherworldly 😉
Awesome! My favorite song off the album.
Been a fan since Messengers and wow.. Matt continues to inspire and satisfy us through music 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I love that he always looks like he's enjoying himself. Great stuff!
That cymbal hit at 1:17 Matt was like “oooo” 😂
The studio turned out great!!! Can’t wait to see more
Big upgrade from the chicken coop on the farm lol
The people that clicked a dislike on this video need therapy
One of the greatest drummers in the Metalcore/Hardcore/whatever scene ❤❤❤
Absolute fucking beast. The nicest person I've ever met. This dude is the definition of of humbleness and hard work. I'm proud to call him my favorite musician.
What a freakin' machine
2:57 onwards is just so perfect I don't have the words to describe it. Sneaky difficult, while not being too much and then when it opens up again it hits full speed immediately. Just perfect writing
I can't emphasize how much I want this for the whole album. Thanks for the sweet vid
Wow. What can you say really but wow. I love how happy and proud he looks playing this song!
Matt.... God bless you, sir! And the joy coming from his face while he’s playing makes watching this even more enjoyable.
i love his playing, such great drum tones too
That studio space gives me goosebumps
Matt Greiner is so smooth with his drumming. One of the Best!
I don't even listen to this band, I just love hearing this guy play the drums
I have to admit that I dont often comment on youtube stuff however, Matt is one of the nicest humans beings out there and easily the best drummer of all time IN MY OPINION.... but my god look how happy the guy is mashing those drums up!!!!!!!!!! Love the passion and LOVE LOVE LOVE August Burns Red.... Keep up the amazing work guys!!!!! The metalcore scene wouldnt be the same without you!
A Three Fountains play through would make me the happiest of Bois
He’s totally feeling this whole fucking song. There’s a lot of soul in those drums.
Proper mix, proper production, proper cam work and a proper drummer. Excellently done, Matt.
I just love how much fun he looks like he’s having. He is smiling almost the whole time. You can tell he loves it.
I love that he is so happy the entire time he's playing. He truly loves it.
It takes pure talent to laugh and smile while playing these crazy patterns. Bravo Matt! 👏👏
My all time favorite drummer and such a great human he loves his fans!
i could watch this guy all day. One of the cleanest drummers out there.
One of my favorite drummers so clean and so creative
Matt Greiner king of beats !!! amazing performance!!!!
It is such a bliss watching Matt play and how much he enjoys it himself! Many people have already said how nice Matt is and I really can’t back it up enough. So humble and positive in every way.
This guy is awesome love watching him play you can tell he’s having so much fun by his face
He absolutely loves playing drums and it shows. He's always having so much fun and smiling, on top of being a incredible drummer! ABR so goood live!
The smile he has on his face, the joy, the passion, the head banging, watching a person do what they truly love is such a beautiful sight that brings a tear to my eye :')
It brings me so much joy watching this man play the drums
That section from 2:57 - 3:07 of synchronization between the guitars and drums is what keeps me into metal. Beautiful
He is so fun to watch. Idk if anyone who sounds like this either. The music is so complex and variant, yet he looks so relaxed playing it. MOAR please!
Such an amazing drummer!! Just love these guys, every member is so talented at what they do
Instrumental version of the album would be dope 🤟
Seriously yes. More metal bands need to release their albums as instrumentals.
It’s coming soon according to JB
Jordan Arriola link?
ABR has always had an impact on my life. Matt, being one of the reasons i started drumming. Dude is just incredible, behind the drums and in front of them.
Shout from Brazil! We love you Matt! Keep doing music like this
One hell of a musician is this guy!!! in my top 3 drummers of all time
Such a blessed and talented individual! This is amazing 😵😵

Awesome stuff! (I'm not even a drummer and I can't stop watching stuff like this :P )
I didn't know drummers worked out each time they played a song. Wow, this looks exhausting...
This was amazing, i already love this album so much and watching you play through this makes it a million times better. its really impressive how you play everything just makes sense. love it man
Such an absolute monster! Matt is my all time favorite drummer. A.B.R. are masters of their craft!
how many times have i seen this...i cant stop
just amazing, this is the soul of the world
Love Matt's playing! Wow every time I watch him

Amazing Control and Coordination. Crazy.
without words but in love!
The sound of that snare is so massive.. Ghost notes sound like they are being played in a massive hallway ❤️😍
Hitting the kick with his left foot at 2:33, what a cool touch! Insane video.
He leads with his left foot ;)
It’s one of his things.
Can't get enough of this!!
Just Beautiful !
Thanks for granting my request! I love the playthroughs!
Great to watch!! Closest joy to seeing them live.
One of my favorite drummers.
Thank you for actually playing through the song and recording it, as opposed to just playing to the record drums. Just goes to show you can replicate your performance anywhere. Much love from CA!
This guy is awesome! Great and a humble drummer I saw him played on live and meet him in person here in 🇵🇭 during zildjian day
What amazes me is how he is so god damn precise. There is barely any wasted movement in his playing and you can tell he’s absolutely in the zone.
MAN HE IS JUST PERFECT HE REALLY IS, IT CANT BE DONE BETTER. THERES NO WAY TO IMPROVE HOW HE PLAYS IT. ITS FLAWLESS. ITS EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT, AND HIS STYLE PROVIDES THAT. FLAWLESS
The right crash cymbal putting in work 🔥
Oh my sweet lord!? Matt is an absolute legend on the kit. Just monstrous playing as always from this beast! \m/
