Matt Greiner of August Burns Red joins Ari Gold for a wide-ranging conversation that connects heavy music, spirituality, farming, posture, and purpose. From growing up on a farm with seven siblings to becoming a two-time Grammy-nominated drummer who’s played six continents, Matt shares how discipline, humility, and long-term thinking shape both his drumming and his life.
They discuss posture and balance behind the kit, working without immediate reward, Neil Peart’s lasting influence, air drumming as a spiritual practice, and why the hardest thing to improve is often the thing you avoid practicing. A grounded, thoughtful conversation about intensity with intention.
