It seems like hes just showing off here but ive actually learned quite a bit from just watching this video a few times. He's primarily showing you how to solo so there's not a lot of practical application to glean here but there's a lot of fun tricks in drumming that teachers rarely go over and matt was cool enough to show this kid some of it.
this kid learnt from the best that's for sure! Great that Matt Sorum is heavily influenced by Legendary drummer, Bonzo 🤟 ( bonzo triplets clearly being taught at the end!)
Yeah hey hey! What a badass ringy, cranked up crackin’ snare!! YEAH!!!! and Matt has been my bread and butter or playing for a while now as I saw GNR live in April 92’ and inspired so much by his consistent power and tasty chops and great big tight snare sound! I love Steven Adler too, however Matt just took GNR to a new level of confidence and power (yeah, Pantera song). Such a great talent and even better guy and personality! He’s what a Pro should be! I finally know what he’s doing on the quick cymbal to snare work….it’s paradiddles of course! I thought he was doing some combo or 3s and 5s in polyrhythms, but nope! Great video and excellent playing! CHOP MASTER GALORE and nice with the John Bonham sweeps and triplets!! ROCK ON MATT SORUM!! And thank you for all you’ve done! LOVE YA!!!
I remember being in high school and other drummers would make fun of me practicing my rudiments especially my Paradiddles over and over again until I challenged out drum leader and whipped his ass in front of the whole band. I was section lead after that and it was because of my rudiments.
I've always said that if I could meet one guy from GN'R, it would be him. When you see him interviews, you just can see he is a nice guy! Matt, I wish you could come to my house, and do a drum clinic. That would be a dream of mine.
He really is a nice guy. I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple years ago and he is a real gentlemen. He made sure that everyone who wanted an autograph a picture or just talk got what they wanted , he even gave me one of his drumsticks. One of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
I met him twice at the same venue one year after the other, Manchester apollo, the 1st time my phone wouldn't take a photo and he could see I was gutted, he came out again after the show on the following tour and saw me and remembered the phone fail, he had me come over the barrier to take another shot, top guy
I was getting crazy because couldn't find this video! I always watch it. Thank you very much for uploading it again :) if you have more material on music, keep posting them
With all due respect to Matt. He is clearly just showing off. When lessons are given, the student plays as well, not just watches while the teacher rocks out.
I've had a drum lesson from Bullet For My Valentine's Drummer, Jason Bowld, he's the best drum teacher I've ever come across! And he's such decent guy to!
really good drummer with his pinky is flying but it doesn't matter if he's good enough for the big gig. matt sorum is a good testament to if you want it bad enough it doesn't matter how you get there as long as you get there!👍
You know how to triplet combination with a cross over, or paradiddle and kick with the cymbal! Now imagine all of thoses together in a groove. Matt proceeds to bless his drum kit.
Steven Adler could do half of this stuff.......for those who don't like Sorum please try to be objective. Love Adler and happy to se him well and back into doing what he loves
I'd have to disagree. I'm a huge fan of both but Sorum did some sublime work on UYI 1&2 which Adler wouldn't have even thought of. I think Appetite suited Adler down to the ground but with the more complex arrangements on the next two albums there was only one man for the job.
Matt was the right guy at the right time. His style perfectly fitted the then-new direction of GNR and either way, they just needed someone who was actually able to perform.
True. But he also annoys some of the band members. It's just his personality. Watch the making of VR doc. That being said, I wish he was in GN'R. Frank is shit. Matt would be killing it on drums. Love this guy.
As a parent of a teenager, when you ask them "you know how to do that right?" And they answer with just "yeah"…they don’t. remember teenagers know everything😅
