One of the most expressive faces in drumming. Great kit, great cymbals, great playing. Cheers to Matt and Meinl!

Man I was NOT expecting that opening groove! What a bop!

[ubaldogonzalez]

The crash/ride sounds amazing, looks like it's so much fun to keep in control with the stick, always wait for OMNOM music, 11 years wait and seeing you play a demo brings a lot of joy to my soul, thanks guys

You are an absolute beast and clearly a master of your craft. So fun to watch you groove in the pocket and then just throw something extremely complex out and it looks effortless and you always hit so hard. I haven't seen a drummer with such smooth work on the cymbals since Dave Abbruzzese and you are the Chad Smith of your genre.

Omg this song is soo beautiful specially towards the end! Definitely play this song over and over

[CrimsonJimi]

That ending gave me Lune vibes. Fantastic performance as always Matt.

[meshuggah]

That had a little bit of everything. Excellent.

[rounax]

New OMNOM? wow, i didn't see this coming. so stock to listen to this with Elliot's vocals!

[reke]

Halpern always kills it. Awesome playthrough

[ragintexan]

I’ve shown my son your playing since the day he was born (specifically Lunes) and oddly we both always have the same look of amazement😂! Now that he is 1yo he beats on everything in the house and prefers cymbals over all when behind my kit with me… I’m nowhere near your level, but I hope one day he can be… Amazing as always… Can’t wait to hear and see more from ya brotha! All the best to you and those you love!🍻🤘🏻

That crash ride is sweet! Love how distinct it is in the mix. I know someone had mentioned that it sound like it needs something but I think the lack of that certain frequency is what makes it stand out in a good way. Sounds awesome.

[commanderphilbo]

Man ...idk..sht just blows me away everytime I watch this dude .

[HeadbangerEats]

The guy is an absolutely BEAST on drums.

[Vargadumi]

Great sounding kit! I like the snare!👌🏻

[iamrichlol]

Elliot Coleman riffs are always so good

[cristiansacogia]

It's really beautiful, it reminded me of that day when I saw for the first time how Satelited was interpreted by Periphery
