HOLLY FILLS BATMAN!

[AndreaTaroppio1]

Before i saw you're a woman,i thought this story was strange and nice...

[dymrip]

Man I love how his drums sound. Especially that snare! I may have to try out an ebony head on one of my snares. Sounds much thicker.

[rustinvrede]

How's your baby?

[rired48]

@rustinvrede

Hey loser, go crawl back under the rock where you were born.

[Dieterbe]

@jessondrums how do you like the Z-crashes? I bought some Z cymbals 2nd hand, they sound great but so damn loud. and the ride is so heavy that it feels like hitting solid metal and it breaks my sticks. Maybe I should go back to A series but they are a bit fragile.

[jessondrums]

@Dieterbe hey buddy, i only have one Z custom crash and its a 17' rock crash, so yeah its pretty heavy compared to the As and Ks that make up my set up. I wouldnt get any other Zs mainly because theyre too heavy for me really.

[slashdelbarrio]

@Dieterbe What sticks do you play with? I used to play on my Sig Paiste Power Ride with 5a ProMarks and they broke in about 3 or 4 rehearsals. I have recently switched to VicFirth 5a and they last MUCH longer, and I'm a natural hard hitter

[Dieterbe]

@slashdelbarrio Weird. I also play with vicfirth 5A. I have the impression that the ride is such a heavy cymbal that even with careful playing, the necks of my sticks break soon. The cymbal has some headroom to wiggle, although I don't install it too loosely (I make sure the edge doesn't go deeper than 8cm or so from its base position, otherwise it hits my floortoom), I bought a huge amount of sticks when they were at half price, that was 5 years ago or something. maybe the sticks age?

[slashdelbarrio]

@Dieterbe I completely switched my technique to play my Sig Ride (I used to play on an Armand) I have it set up high and very tilted, like Colaiuta or Nicko McBrain. In that way I can control my stroke more and avoid hitting it as hard as if my arm is coming from higher in a regular position, and as there is no need to crash it because you can't simply crash a 4kg cymbal, the tilted position is much more comfortable for playing the bell. And play with love!

[123LarsUlrich]

@slashdelbarrio Everyone who have problems with sticks break, try vincent sticks ;) I promisse, it`s worth trying ;)

[H4ssell]

@AaronSpears is such a nice guy

[Fantasticifaction]

One of the few drummers I see that are clearly not thinking and playing at the same time, I like that ;D

[GodSam1]

OMG he is awesome!!!

[hudcom1]

I'm live in sao paulo Brazil. Here in Brazil all the drummers who like and admire the drums played as an instrument of unlimited Aaron Spear is a fan he is one of the best in the world and an impressive level, a shame we did not tap into this level, would certainly have lessons with him.

[mynumberonehat]

[EIStudent]

The man is a beast on the drums...he's like a new generation Billy Cobham (with his own style of course)..lol!

[buddyrichforever]

[Moog168]

@alexakaseme1 LOL what are you talking about....if his fills weren't good nor smooth he wouldn't have his dvd out and he wouldn't be playing on all the sessions and tours he's been on.

[CJQuikk1]

@Aaron Spears I'm a up a coming drummer who has mad respect for you and I'm a big fan. I'm the drummer for a Gospel Quartet and it's hard to add flavor to some of our songs any advice? Here's one of our songs John P Kee Harvest could you give a listen and drop a piece on it? Here's my email address cjquikk1@yahoo.com. I know your a busy man so thanks for your time.

[Pablations]

Usher had a naked girl on his shirt :O

[MechanixPL]

Aron is unbelievable. I can't even understand most of the fills he plays--they're too figgin' fast.

[MrBongoJoe]

[lovemeurim]

OH LORD HAVE MERCY... I pray I could be this good some day :'(

[XxMAXYPADxX]

So lucky to have gotten to meet him. I wish I could have some crazy stroke of luck and hang out with a badass drummer :/

[TheGuydrums]

Absolutely love this!! He's one of my favourite drummers too - for all those who haven't seen him nail 'caught up', do it, do it now! And not for one second did I think he'd be anything but a top guy but I'm impressed nonetheless.

... and top work Jess btw!! :) x

[ExtremeYouthMinistry]

That was an awesome story Jess! May God bless you in your pursuit of the ULTIMATE rhythm!

[Hastur11]

This is always so awesome when someone in this position will take time out for fans. Awesome job!

[vipersvenom]

Just found out about Aaron Spears and I'm nothing short of impressed. He has such groove it's disgusting. The fills he comes up with are brilliant.

[drumhead40]

Aaron is saying he will get better... now that´s SCARY!!!!!

[neoraul20]

@drumhead40 Darn scary!

[aris7158]

aaron spears is one of the best drummers...I wish I could meet him....

[beanyJC]

That's soooo cool!!!!! :)

[ShoSkoko]

The only thing I dont like about Aaron's drumming, is that it makes me feel like I suck at drumming hahaha

He is the most inspirational drummer, every time I watch one of his videos, I go straight to the kit!!

[babarislander1]

aaron spears.. like him a lot such a nice guy!!

[jlom4]

A.Spears is down to earth from this vid with Jess and a very humble kat. I'd love to meet him to and pick his brain knowledge on music.

Congrats Jess, def keep doing this thing on the kit..we all as musicians can learn til we get old and grey

[Jackondrums18]

I agree completly with maplecustom, Aaron you have been a huge influence on my playing, and a LOAD of my friends playing ! I know Marvin Mcquitty said you where "As humble as they come" on MD 2006, but man, this is a new dimension ! Your a phenomenal drummer, and a great person. Look after yourself. jack.

[aKUHNamatata]

man i wish i had half of the musical talent this guy has been blessed with!

[AaronSpears]

What up Jess!!!!! It was an absolute pleasure meeting you...Thanks for hanging out with me...Also, thank you all who commented even you @rimnuggets...I agree 100% with you and I am practicing even now to get better...You will see improvement, I promise...I appreciate all of your insight and your support...

Aaron

[maplecustom]

@AaronSpears I am even more a fan seeing you be humble and posting this!!!

[MyGamingCafe]

@AaronSpears dude are you really aaron spears ?

[AaronSpears]

@MyGamingCafe Yep...I have been me all my life...

[MyGamingCafe]

@AaronSpears nice :P

[JbsThird]

@AaronSpears Man you are by far my favorite drummer and so humble, most pros wouldn't think to respond like you do to a simple youtube comment. Im sure you get asked this all the time but if you get a second check out one of my videos and let me know what you think if you have time. I been playing for 3 years now. Thanks man your the best!!!!!

[killa32130]

@AaronSpears You are my hero. Keep representing the big guys.

[datdrumaboy]

@AaronSpears I think you are the most humble drummer, to comment and reply to your fans bro. I had mad respect for you and still do!!!

[COMODORMIDO]

@AaronSpears Hey Aaron ..greettings from Costa Rica....First off...let ma tell you...amazing performance you have in every video I've seen so far showing your drumming. I am old drummer hahaha..( 40 years old and 25 years playing ) and I've been trying to improve my level on drumming...it's been difficult since I'm a family guy with 2 kids and sometimes ( most of them actually ) don't have time between my wife and them....don't know if you're married but if you're not you'll see...

[COMODORMIDO]

@AaronSpears ...but it's a wonderful life..tha fact is that is kind of hard to study and to practice but seeing your videos...man!!! I've learned a lot...!!! thank you very much Aaron for sharing what you know and for letting us know how a drum kit should be used....best regards and God bless you and your loved ones!!!

[sn8f1st]

@AaronSpears Practice to get better? You have a sick sense of groove. I'm going to make sure the next time you are in the UK that I will catch you live....

Aaron is the drum hero!

[KappinAc]

You are blessed jessondrums

[yupyup381]

THats was up

[rimnuggets]

I think Aaron is good, not great. He's a bit too one dimensional and mono-dynamic I think. But, he's young and has many years to improve.

[theCrankBrothers]

@rimnuggets

slim WTF are u talkin about! u must b a hater. i put my money on him any day or night!!

[nicholas33309]

@rimnuggets u aint better

[MrLdrummer]

Aaron is a great person, I would do the same thing if I were you!
