Mathew Madiro (born September 30, 1991) is an American drummer for the American metal band Trivium.

Career

Mathew Madiro played his first Trivium show on May 5, 2014 in Buffalo, NY, as Nick Augusto departed from the band the day before while the band still was on tour supporting Volbeat. He had been working for Trivium as a drum technician for 2 years and did not have any experience as a touring musician or recording artist, except for practicing in some amateur local bands. Reportedly, he had only 24 hours to learn all his parts for the upcoming show. The first setlist he performed included the following songs: Brave This Storm, Like Light To The Flies, Built To Fall, Strife, Black, Dying In Your Arms, Through Dirt And Blood And Bone, Down From The Sky, In Waves.[2]

On July 7, 2014 the official fan-club Triviumworld announced him as a full-time member.

He plays DW drums and Zildjian cymbals, and states being extremely happy with his setup:
