Drum Teacher Reacts to Matt Garstka - Animals as Leaders - Tooth and Claw - Episode 34 

It is

I lolol'd.. literally..seriously.

@@maness2112 you get me

His girlfriend always gets him fresh bananas

This is why I'm not a great drummer earning my crust hitting shit. It was my couch people slept on in these circumstances. Damn. If only I'd known

Well, I've got no idea about American music schools, but I can name Berklee.

He kinda read matt like a book lmao "this guys not metal, hes like an accountant" I died cuz its so true Edit: and he said dave weckl im done. One of matts main idols

He also nailed the fact that Tommy Giles of between the buried and me is a Mike Patton fan. Buddy knows his shit hah

Yeah this guy is so insightful lol

Hahahahaha

Ha

ohhh youuuu

He can blast pretty well too, though I dont listen to AAl for blasts.

@MorbidManMusic And #metoo

@MorbidManMusic Well, obviously noone is randomly spitting objective truths about purely subjective stuff.

culture clash solo from tokyo.

Matt is better

@@anthonyjones3835 nobody in this thread said Marco was better

priser24 I concur

Elliot Hoffman, consider him beat

nah hes good at keeping the dramatic vibe and writing parts well suited to the music he plays. wouldnt say unbeatable or very technical.

Tbh Id say it shares that title with BTBAM

Would be cool! Love that Meinl Sleepy Tea vid of him. 😎🤙

Nathan*

@@DuffyLONER64 jajaja right Nathan, my mistake 🤦🏻‍♂️

@@zangetzu70 freaking right!!!! He kills it in that video!! 🔥🔥

Camarena is a baby drummer compared to Garstka

Haha I try

And check out mestis. It’s Javiers other band too! Cool Latin inspired stuff!

Yeah, and check out _Reflux,_ the band with whom Tosin Abasi got his first mainstream exposure to the metal community. It's like...progressive death core, VERY different from _Animals as Leaders,_ but you could tell, even back then (2004/05), that Abasi was the real deal (their bassist Evan Brewer was obviously insanely good as well - he later spent ~4 years with death metal band _The Faceless_ ). _Reflux_ only released one album (The Illusion of Democracy), but Devin Townsend was clearly a fan, inviting _Reflux_ to open for _Strapping Young Lad_ on the Alien tour (he's still a fan of Abasi... _Animals as Leaders_ toured with Devin 2 or 3 years ago), which is how I learned of _Reflux_ and Abasi (seeing SYL in Montreal in 2005). I was so impressed that I immediately bought their album (at the show), and still listen to it now and again. _Animals as Leaders_ is much more...proggy, but _Reflux_ is super-technical and badass. It's definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of Abasi's other bands, if for no other reason than to see where he was in his musical journey in 2004. It's also important to note that we wouldn't even HAVE _Animals as Leaders_ without _Reflux_ since Abasi was "discovered" by an A&R guy at one of those SYL shows...he convinced his bosses to sign Abasi for a solo album, and the rest is history (notably, _Animals as Leaders_ actually WAS a solo act initially...the drums were programmed by Misha Mansoor of _Periphery,_ but Abasi wrote everything, and recorded all the guitar and bass tracks by himself).

Blake Richardson #1, you take that back

Casey Jaszewski no, he went to BERKLEE he never taught. Spell the name right too lol. He was a graduate of Berklee.

Soonly, Please be patient with me!!

@@JunkdrummerTV will be, if you say you'll do it, you'll do it. :)
