MATT GARSTKA | UK Drum Show 2019 

This sounds like what plays in my head when I can't fall asleep.

This guy has the entire time zones in his hands

7:42 "What was I doing?" 7:46 "Oh yeah.. Destroying time and space with my drumsticks"

How did he land every hit? Every twist of the melody just nailed with the perfect fill. Insane.

me: "excuse me, does someone have the time?" matt garstka: "yes my child, what can i do for you?"

Matt will always continue to evolve and it’s so inspiring to see him constantly grow.

i saw a lot of this stuff in one of his clinics and i can vouch for his power and precision being on another level, no video i’ve ever seen does justice to seeing him play in real life

Matt Gartska is the best drummer alive and it will become the best of all time. No joke

Displaying his versatility here not just a straight power guy. I’m mind blown that he can fit ear piquing licks that are creative into almost every bar. Kept my interest til the end.

Out of all the gospel chop dudes who went to Berklee with Matt he was the only one who sounds distinguishable. In this video you dont see the old choppy wild Matt, instead he's more calm with exceptional fills amf grooves you dont hear a lot gospel drummers do.

This man is a LEGEND. thats some serious drumming my dude

This man is a legend. You can tell he loves and has devoted his life to drumming. ❤️

Beautiful kit!!!! The color, the sound...jesus!!

This lick at 03:57 is amazing!!Great drumming and a huge influence mr.Matt !!! Amazing playing!!!!!!

5:42 this is the most unusual and coolest rhythm I've ever heard from Matt

So abstract. Love this!!!

Not gonna lie.. I'm a huge fan of Matt's drumming, but this is the first time I was actually tapping my foot to any of his music. Crazy how versatile of a musician he is

Amazing stuff. Matt is one of the modern greats IMO

Beautifully recorded. Stunning sound quality!

Found the 1 at the beginning but was lost by 2.

One of the greatest drummers of our era... amazing

MATTRONOME!😅😍👌 I mean, how can anyone else play this, except him, of course!😅

Congrats matt, you literally have your own sound. I swear if I hear you play I will always know it.

What a beautiful set !

It’s crazy how this guy delays and rushes the melody just by knowing how to subdivide time. This is the real goal.

This reminds of king crimson meets sonic the hedgehog theme

Matt is absolutely unreal. What a great trippy song. These drummers nowadays are just stunning

The usual smooth crispness so good....

A master of his craft is such a satisfying thing to watch!

Casimir liberski is a audio/rhythmic scientist beyond our time and understanding. He knew that few people would truly listen to his masterpiece, but he knew those people would love it and understand it better than any other music thats ever been made. He chose to have great impact on a few, rather than a mediocre impact on many. A true genius. I follow his social media and I just wonder, wha goes through his head and what his ideas andinspirations were for that album. I want to be big enough in the music world just to lure casimir or Matt into a podcast and pick their brains about this album because no one has done it yet before. I've spent countless hours listening and understanding this music, knowing every twist in turn in my heart as well as casimir, matt and louis knew these songs. Try listening on psychedelics, and you will understand better what effect this music has on your brain. They say listening to classical music with a baby in the womb will make him smarter. Yes, but what happens with cosmic liberty?

Casimir Liberski album is incredible, check it out!

Tama drums just sound amazing man

What a great sounding kit! Crispy snare

Such a sick track i swear. Bravo to you guys!

Love the mix of the drums 👌🏽

Matt is the living embodiment of Time itself

As always, killer drumming!!!! WOW =)

dude's an absolute monster. inspiring stuff!

Great performance and mix!!!!

I love this version more than the actual recording. Amazing mix! It's like the drums and the track were recorded on this performance!

Man, this is absolutely insane!!

The master of ghost notes

The master ghost-note SHREDDER!....... 😎

I WISH TO SEE ALL THE ALBUM PERFORMED FOR YOU MATT. OH MY UNIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRSE!!! You just played my favourite song, this is not a coincidence.

Ini luar biasa! Permainan mu berada di wilayah yang tidak biasa, dan tidak semua orang dapat menyentuh yang kamu mainkan.. Thats my compliment in bahasa, u awesome!

My Lord. What a badass. 👈🏻What an understatement.

we must invent some words to describe and evaluate his level...

He is also really satisfying to watch, let alone listen to.

I like the sound mix. everything is clear.

This is it, this is the peak of drumming.

Tight!! Lov it!!Cheers!;-)!

Alien alert ! groove , technique , musicality .. what a musician !

Just WOWWWW!

I waited so long for Matt to play live the songs from Cosmic Liberty 😍😍😍

Been waiting for these Casmir playthroughs so glad they’re coming out. In many ways this was album of the year 2019 for me, MAINLY due to these drums.

Wonderful! :)

This album is pure fire

Complexity of time signatures... No words to describe

Those drums sound frickin incredible

A very comfortable set up!

So sick!

3 minutes was sick dude. Nice modulations. 5 minutes was cool too. Double time on the hi hats. This was rad. I think I remember you posting something like this on Instagram with the keyboard player.

I play this video for my 3 month yr old daughter all the time she loves it

That's some GOD level skills...

Flawless

Very nice !!

beautiful

This kit sounds so fuckin good. Got the same starclassic hyperdrives and they are just the best man

Not a stick or a note out of place. It sounds like listening to pure math, I love it

His time bending was mind bending.

Matt doesn’t dominate the time, Matt IS the time.

his playing is tighter than that snare

Incredible drumming. I'm not a huge fan of the dead toms and super-dry everything, but there's no denying the greatness of Matt's playing. The snare sounds fabulous, and the engineers did a great job - you can hear every little ghost note.

after 3 minutes my brain had melted an i never recovered.

Genius!!! Nooooooiiixxxxzzzz 🤘

Sick

Muy bueno ..... excelente!

ooh Matt's playing some new drums

Great Sir

Sounds like a synth computer program to play a song through varied time. And Matt is the ONLY human who can complete it.

Missed his performances/workshop because they put him on at 10am, and the Drum Show didn't open its doors until 10am with massive lines. Good organising.

That was so amazing, I think he was introducing new time signatures found only in cyber space or outer space ---what???

Thanks for sharig..

Bravissimo

When the synth players wasted but you like a ch challenge

How many time signature changes are you going to implement... Matt: Yes.

this is like when someone who doesn't play drums programs the drums for one of their own songs not knowing that some things are physically impossible to do... But...Matt Garstka

Superb

MATT GARSTKA! Sick........!

Every time I watch Matt I want to go out and burn my drumset.....kills it everytime.

Guys like this make me glad I'm not a drummer - as a guitar player I only have to live up to Yngwie, you drummers have to face up to guys like this and Vinnie and Steve. good luck!

Notice at 3:33 there's an entire section missing from the album version

4:06 dark vibes incoming , loved that hi hats satured part

Reminds me of Bill Bruford's band from the late 70's, early 80's with Jeff Berlin.

As always, Matt doesn't have to keep time - the time has to keep Matt lol.

Matt makes me either want to quit the drums or waste the rest of my life trying to accomplish... This

Please go on tour with this group

I have been freaking out about what he plays as the percussion "cowbell" type sound for like a year and a half now...pretty sure its a Latin percussion Raw Pot...probably the smallest one...sounds so goooood. Could not for the life of me find anywhere stating this piece of gear lol.

My favourite 👌 thanks Matt

Good Gadd!!!
