Ectogenesis - Which Solo Wins

[nghia_tnguyen]

Matt's precision can make metronomes go unemployed

[flosthebos]

So hard to choose, but I think the second one. The ending of the solo resolving with the splash(?) on the off beat rules.

[westinbasinger]

If I had 1/5 of the technical skill you have I'd be set for life with my little cover band. Great chops Matt!

[DavidGamero]

first may have been cleaner technically but the second did get the crowd slightly more hyped so, I think that makes them even

[ebsupra]

Matt, how utterly empowering is to nail a tremendous solo and see/hear the crowd react with minds blown?

While I like #2 better from a 'holy shit' standpoint, #1 fits the song better.

That little RKRK on the high tom at 1:10 broke my soul. First one wins

[jamieplatt]

My favourite was the first, so much feeling and chops in it 👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[lucifersam]

Don't know which one to choose, but I have to say the 1:34 fills was inhumanly clean considering how fast it was going !

[christclinger]

Such a privilege to witness this man play drums. I’m a huge Rush fan, Neil Peart was my favorite drummer. But Matt is taking the cake in real time, for me.

[caedenbreneman]

2nd solo has a few of the new licks & patterns you’ve been culminating while the first sounds more like what we saw on the madness of many tour (still incredible). Those one hand-per Tom rolls from the 2nd solo are seriously insane 🔥

[siim]

That DW kit is absolutely stunning. One of the prettiest kits I have ever seen.

[PaulC-Drums]

Love the locked in feel of the first one but I really appreciate the Virgil Donati-ish movement across the toms in the 2nd one.

[marcinmichamarszaek]

I'm so happy to be alive when you are doing your thing man... So greatful for your work! I feel blessed.

[umbra_ydn]

I honestly think you're the best drummer on the planet. You inspire me and give me drive to practice with purpose every day.

[VirgoKing]

They’re both insane solos!! It’s hard to pick one. Matt is just too good for everyone. I may have several favorite drummers but he is at the top for me. 💙💙💙💙🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏽🙌🏽

Saw you guys for the 1st time last night in Tempe. Good lord….. best live musicianship I’ve ever seen. I know you hear this all the time but allow me to reiterate. You guys are amazing! Count me in anytime you come to the Phoenix area

[ericlucci]

my fuckin god man. you pretty much do drum solos for a living and i love it. i could watch you play drums all damn day.

[dakota]

Number 2!! Such an indescribable experience watching this stuff live 🤯

[zertnoy]

For me te second solo, but, the part after the solo, I prefer the one you play after the first solo...that use of the splash and stax...is more “melodic”....no word....IMMO.
Hope to see you in Italy 🇮🇹
