Matt Garstka - Developing New Patterns 

Definitely! The man’s an animal lol

Certainly has paved a new path. Much appreciate your art Matt

I agree.

imo he is the greatest of all time.

Very funny.

Ye boi

And costs sooo much :(

I've never heard pycadelic progress rock but it sound perfect

I would also love that, but I would also invite Jojo Mayer :)

They would talk in odd time signatures

The last exersise: 7/8+7/8 RLLKRLLKLLRKLL / RLLKRLLKLLRKLL / etc

i know im late here but, did you just compliment Matt’s behind?

Matt's 29 years old

Instant meme

Chris Kribs Practice with a metronome. Don’t just randomly hit, control every movement. If you can’t do basic rudiments there is no reason to start with what he is doing. He is doing these because he is bored with basics. So learn your 40 rudiments Tune you drums to pitch. Especially if your music stays in a certain key the whole time. Example 55hz bass drum, 220hz snare. Out of tune is out of tune.

Watch Tommy Igoe's "Great Hands For A Lifetime". If you're only interested in double stroke roll, this video can be helpful: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RT391K42AfA.html

All those are great ways to implement these patterns: Fill in the extra space with singles, leave empty space, or play the pattern over a "standard" time signature while alternating the accented notes. IMO the third option is the most challenging as learning how the accent shifts every beat will force you to be able to play a 5 note pattern in 5 different ways. Good luck.

@@PeeDeeJay Cheers for the reply! Love how Matt has such interesting concepts that we can have these discussions and put them into our own playing in our own way, it's cool to be given a tool to use then playing exactly what someone else has taught you note by note

With odd grouping it seems the most usefull to practice them in 4/4 as 16th and 32nd noted and also as triplets and sextuplet, then in quintuplets for example (if it's a grouping of 5). Also maybe try shifting the backbeat or other limbs and make it sound like it's quintuplets (implied metric modulation). I'm sure there's more possibilities but I usually get bored at that point haha.

i had the same question, still a little confused about the quarter note pulse overtop of the 5 and 7

@@ChrisSheridan295 This is why I almost exclusively watch these types of videos. I love to see a normal discussion(s) today, when there are so many people ready to fight. On nearly every video on RU-vid there are too many idiots with the sole purpose of insulting others and meaningless quarrels, and I'm so tired of that. Btw, I can't wait to sit behind the drums and try to apply one of these tips.

Self Wellness Company would love to see that

Self Wellness Company yes. Watch the video of him playing to 13. It’s insane hah

Lance Hollum Hey, you can slow it down on your computer and study it. It takes very minimal effort on your part, but doing this helps me IMMENSELY with breaking down and understanding complex playing and helps comprehend better what’s happening. You can do 75%, 50%, and even 25% speed. *select the “settings” or “options” tab under the video menu and select “playback speed” and adjust to your liking. Give it a try! Hope this helps!

SeanMcFarlinTRE i did that too. I’ve watched this video 100x. U definitely can’t pick all this up your first time through lol. U really have to play it and think about it a lot

I would recommend waiting until you can process it without needing to slow it down, which would indicate you are ready to play these properly in the first place.

@@fleagalisyourdaddy perfect reply

I think he meant the second right hand single stroke

This has nothing to do with Matt or drums, but I must say that Krakow is one of the most beautiful cities I've seen. Greetings to Poland from Serbia!
