On episode one hundred and seventy of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt’s gearing up to leave for tour after a long stretch at home and Tim’s adjusting to his new career arrangement. Matt thinks out loud about the tremendous difficulty many musicians face nowadays in pursuit of success. Then the guys discuss how pushing yourself to take on challenges plays a major role in your tenacity and discipline with improving as a drummer. They also talk about how if you don’t know who you are, the world will tell you who you are, and why it’s so important to stay grounded in what the Bible actually says.
On episode one hundred and sixty nine of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt and Tim kick it "old-school" after three consecutive guest episodes. Tim shares an excerpt from Atomic Habits by James Clear to tee up their drum topic about how identifying factors that you claim in your life can make or break your ability to improve in certain areas of drumming. Matt argues an alternative, parallel approach that has been working for him. Finally, in attempt to avoid being too controversial, Tim struggles through the discomfort of touching on political subjects to illustrate a concern around the weaponized usage of vague scripture in this day in age. Matt disagrees slightly, but shares a strong point of view.
On episode one hundred sixty eight of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt and Tim welcome their friend, Will Davidson. Will talks about what ignited his love for music production that led to his internship at Atrium Audio, studying at Berklee school of music, and a ton of experience producing his own music.

Will also drops some golden nuggets for aspiring musicians and producers making music at home.
On episode one hundred and sixty seven of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt and Tim are joined by drummer, Ben Pruitt of Sleep Theory.

This episode is special and we hope you get as much out of it as we did.

On episode one hundred and sixty three of the Holy Ghost Notes podcast, Matt and Tim are joined by old pal and familiar guest, Adam Gray. Adam bears all; sharing everything from the story behind his stick tricks, his thoughts on the new unreleased August Burns Red album, prepping for filling in for Matt on tour, overcoming expectations of “living up to his own name”, dealing with grief, as well as writing a book in memory of his late wife, Tegan. We sincerely hope this brings you joy, peace, and a whole lotta laughs. Merry Christmas from Holy Ghost Notes.
On episode one hundred and sixty two of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt and Tim meet again. Matt talks about prepping for Christmas Burns Red and the busyness surrounding the season and Tim remembers he never gave Matt his birthday card. The guys quickly jump into their topic, "Making Music in 2025" and discuss the major advancements they've seen in music tech over the past year, and how to approach this new wave of capabilities. Opportunity or cheating?
On episode one hundred and sixty one of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt and Tim casually discuss their love of cheese and Tim's "cultured" way about him. The guys shift gears and walk through their list of "Dos and Don'ts" as drummers - to both summarize and simplify many of the key points they've discussed in-depth over the past 160 episodes. Then, inspired by Tony Robbins, Tim does an exercise with Matt to tee up the topic of Perception vs. Reality, which takes a rather deep turn.
On episode one hundred and sixty of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt talks about attending pap's 100th birthday, and Tim gives some shotty marriage advice after celebrating 11 years of marriage with his wife. They proceed to talk about the importance of reinforcement when it comes to drumming (or just about anything in life). Matt shares some recent testimonials from his Double Bass Masterclass and encourages everyone to make it habit to encourage others. Then the guys switch gears and talk about selfishness vs. selflessness. Matt uses the example of equal time spent with family, and Tim adds his take on the freedom that accompanies selflessness and importance of having perspective.
On episode one hundred and fifty nine of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt questions whether or not Tim is AI generated and talks about his new Double Bass Masterclass (something he's never talked about before). Tim tangents about his espresso ritual, then Matt talks about how relaxing when sitting at the drum kit can actually improve performance and Tim relates it to stage fright and taking control. Then the guys talk about relaxing in life, not simply their "wind-down routines", but rather what can lead to true relaxation in life.
On episode one hundred and fifty seven of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt and Tim catch up and talk about the divisive nature of social media as of late. In light of the recent fragile landscape, the guys discuss how to have mature and civil conversations about difficult topics and the importance of respect and love above all. Taking shape as more of an after thought than topics, Matt and Tim share their weaknesses in drumming. Then they pivot into the topic of ‘weakness in life’ and how weakness can, in fact, be a positive thing.
On episode one hundred and fifty five of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt has recently returned home from touring in Europe and is running on both fumes and the excitement of being reunited with his family. Matt shares a little about his time on tour and segways into the topic of “showing up”. He describes what it means, in his opinion, to continue showing up as it relates to his drumming. The guys transition into the topic of “living differently” in which Tim tees up using career/ambition, faith/evangelism, and family/parenthood as the focus points.
On episode one hundred and fifty four of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt records from the outskirts of London and Tim records while vacationing at the DE beach. Due to some major technical setbacks, the guys are pressed for time, but manage to squeeze in one of their favorite episodes to date. They cover both their drum and faith topics with an overarching topic of "motivation vs. discipline." The guys discuss how each has its own appropriate place and time to aid in the success of both drumming and other aspects of life.
On episode one hundred fifty three of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt talks about a festival he played last week on the same stage as Slipknot that led to an impactful encounter with Eloy Casagrande. The guys follow the natural conversational progression into their topic of humility and how believing the best in people might be an important piece. To cap it off, Matt and Tim hit on the topic of generosity (a topic they haven’t touched on since episode 7). Tim broadens the idea beyond financial generosity and encourages us not to miss out.
On episode one hundred and fifty two of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt and Tim spend a majority of the episode catching up and talking about Tim’s new song and the idea of identity before briefly hitting on their episode “fly-by” topics. In their drum topic- they talk about prioritizing drumming, or rather, prioritizing the right things with the time that is available to you. In their faith topic- the talk about the concept of treating others the way you want to be treated.
