Tosin once said Matt comes into writing sessions with pages full of numbers that look like hieroglyphics or some kind of alien mathematics, and that's all I need to know about why his drum tracks sound the way they do. This guy uses his brain on another level. Favorite drummer. Highly recommend the Weightless live video from one of Matt's early tours with the band. He's fresh faced and has some of the most energetic fills you'll find him playing before he really settled into his more mature, smooth style he has now.

Matt's dad owned the guitar store that was local to me. I grew up getting lessons there. Some amazing musicians use to teach there. Matt use to be there all the time and was always the nicest guy! I remember when he decided to move to California. Next thing I heard is he is in Animals as leaders and I was like that makes lot of sense! He made a solo CD where every track was a different style of music.

He plays over time as well as the proggy metal types like Gartska or any of fusion jazz greats like Weckl. His feel is better than almost all of them. And he he just kinda....flows Steve Smith used to be THE drummer for me. But, I think Gergo stole my throne-shaped heart.

@tomyabo5606 2 года назад

Music awards are 100% meaningless. It is entirely subjective and most likely the award giver has an agenda. IMO Jason Richardson was pretty clearly the best guitarist of the 2010s - blazing speed, technical perfection, genre bending, incredible feel. Tosin would be runner-up in my ranking, but again, it's subjective. Sarah Longfield was dubbed by someone at Forbes (why is Forbes talking music, anyway? lol) one of the "top 10 best 7-8 string guitarists in the world". Giving her that distinction is absurd. Even if that Forbes writer was told he must include at least 1 female in his list for them to publish it, I can off the top of my head name over 10 female guitarists significantly better than Sarah. She's not amongst the top 10,000 best 7-8 string guitarists. So yeah, art awards are meaningless.

@fubar1217 2 года назад

He's said in an interview that one of his biggest influences is Dave Weckl which is probably where the jazz influence comes from. He's also said that he was playing all sorts of gigs when he was in Berklee so I doubt he was "just" a jazz guy. But it's his finesse that really impresses me. You see all these other drummers that play fast, ripping fills but it's Matt's touch and dynamics that sets him apart.

@bulloozer5552 2 года назад

Current 30ish year olds graduated from Berklee are at their golden age. I specifically researched for those musicians and they are all amazing. I'd like to suggest one more drummer; Yogev Gabay, who is a signature monster as well. They are all versatile, cutting edge on technique and talented AF.
