Matt Greiner

I started playing drums when I was 15 years old. By the time I picked up sticks I had already fallen in love with drumming, I just hadn't been given the opportunity to actually play until I was already into my teenage years. I was drawn to heavy music, namely the metal genre. My reasoning was very simple; I loved odd time meters and fast double bass. I started August Burns Red when I was 17 years old. We have been a band for 16 years, have traveled to 6 continents and over 40 countries, and have had more success than we ever bargained for. If you ask my mom what our greatest accomplishment has been I think she would say our double Grammy nominations. Drumming has taken me further than I ever imagined and I'm so grateful to be along for the ride!
