You know how I feel about your playing so there's no need to add anything else just I love your playing... I'd take as my drum teacher though, even if at my age I could be your father.
Matt, regarding you playing metal, maybe you could consider something else in rock like something funky from RHCP or something from Led Zep, The Police, The doors anything rock of your choice, I sure you could nail it down and we would see your awesome abilities and versatility.
