Here's some killer Matt Halpern drum cam footage from his recent PASIC 2014 performance. Of the many aspects of Matt's drumming that I enjoy, one of the things that I appreciate is the way Matt keeps some serious time with his left foot when he's not playing double bass patterns. It sets up a groove, feel, and even a certain amount of swing in his playing that a lot of other metal drumming seems to seriously lack. You would think that a left foot keeping time would not be something to note, but

Relentless intensity, groove, and precision. Promark artist Matt Halpern performs “Lune”, from Periphery III: Select Difficulty, with his new signature drumsticks. #drumfam | ProMark
