Practicing At the House

[wmdrums]

Aaron, this is awesome. Thanks for posting

[DrummingNonStop]

Tracy Morgan?

[JapJackson]

Greatest part about this dude - groove on top of groove on top of groove, even the crazy fills somehow gel and he is right back in the groove, seamless.

Dude, you are the man. May the future bring continued success and opportunities for you.

[Rawzeyy]

That was tight! You kept the flow going even with those crazy chops:) What is the name of that track? It sounds like a good song to experiment with.

[omarphi215]

nice vid...question for ya...i started playing a long time ago in school, and i can play but im not that good, probably better in high school than i am now...i want to get back into it. In your opinion, what do you think is the best way to do that? start as if I am new and learn/practice all rudiments slowly, or do i continue at my level (low intermediate) and expand on that? thanks in advance

[kinrjr]

Love it man!!! Your drumming its amazing! I've been working a lot thru many years playing... But I need to practice new things to understand some of the way you feel the music. Blessings!

[222phobos]

Anyways I would like to know what kind of china size and all you had in the caught up video and was it stacked to get that sound ? Tons of ppl ask that question but I havent gotten a clear answer. I swear to me it looks like a zildjian oriental trash jus really tight with nothing stacked IDK ... Just please respond when you get the time

[persuasify]

Damn I wish I can beat up my mother in law the same way you're beating up the drum kit. 

[MsAndre1977]

[cheesegrinder79]

have yet to hear someone who can have a better groove than Aaron, shreding or chiling on a groove i cant find anyone better, such style and power, and all the videos where he talks, he sounds like a super nice dude, and when he plays he looks like he knows hes the shit! nothing but total respect for this man!

[drummerelle]

what timing is that????? I could not figure it out please help, sounds like4/4 then switches to a weird 5/8 or something i have no idea lol

[hahaha331]

@drummerelle its 12/8 or 6/8 or whatever, just with cool accents

[jazsmik]

Very inspiring! Keep it flowin'!

[EvoletChrist]

[98JosMou]

[GabrielTheDrumer]

[sweetbeetz]

The first minute reminds me alot of the mars volta music!

[ThaBaseballer]

some neighbors arent down for the loud drumming next door, but id be pumped to be aaron's neighbor and get to just hear this stuff regularly

[NotATubeSurfer]

So Aaron, how many times have you hit yourself in the face with your stick while playing?

[kellercoleman]

You are a fantastic drummer!

[TheDoddmusic]

1:43 Where the HELL is that mailman??

[lilvicfirth]

[toxicdrummer100]

[MidasVreeburg]

Aaron!

You are probably my biggest influence on the drums!

I love you chops and groove, almost everything that i play

is token from your videos!

Keep drumming man;)

peace

[fashodo2002]

very dope bro.. very dope.. btw do you know a cat named neil sanders in NY?

[stix4Him]

I so dig the chops bro! You must have a crazy practice regimen.. I am a 49 year old funk/pop drummer. been at it for 30 plus years.. I wish I had taken it more seriously. What is your secret? Love ya man!!

[QEEFA]

man!! you're like my hero!! what is your daily drumming workout like? what do u do?

[tinyvirus]

@aaronspears ah cool, what do you currently use?

[BrandonStone14]

on equal par? no tony royster just happens to be a way better fucking drummer. this dude is good don't get me wrong. but Royster just has more raw talent. and doesn't have rocky road ice cream pumping through his veins.

[AaronSpears]

@BrandonStone14 I totally agree with you Brandon except for the part about the Rocky Road pumping thru my veins...I actually prefer butter pecan...I'm not really into the whole this drummer is better than that drummer kinda thing...I think that's corny...Especially because there are no gold medals for whoever is number 1...I'm just thankful to be able to keep the lights on at my house doing what I love...Hopefully along the way someone is inspired by something I played or said...God bless...

[BrandonStone14]

has nothing on Tony Royster

[angelacevedo2112]

@BrandonStone14 go away this drummer plays a deeper pocket and has great feel tony royster just has fucking chops man

[zzzzzushi]

@BrandonStone14 they are both probably on equal par but i thnk tony might still have him beat but not by much

[joshuaraygaribay]

what track is this?

[AaronSpears]

@joshuaraygaribay The track didn't have a name...It was just something that a friend created and I wanted to practice to it...It was fun...

[LilJon2014]

yo aaron this is Jon Jon, angela adams son. wats up man

[AaronSpears]

@LilJon2014 What up!!!

[SecretSocietyLive1]

What ride is that?

[AaronSpears]

-Brendan Mills

[tinyvirus]

What cymbals are used for stack?

[AaronSpears]

@tinyvirus That stack was weird...Nothing like what I'm using now...I was experimenting with a couple things...On top is a 12" splash with tambourine jingles on the bottom and it is stacked on top of an old 15" K Custom Dark Crash....

[SW1]

@AaronSpears what stack are you using now then?

and, i most definitely dig it

[jetwingfairy]

You like how he just looks at the camera at 0:52 like amazing? Yea I know I just did it;)

[taikinasuikka]

[ChopzMonsta]

[runnerstike]

Dude,

You should throw a lot of more stuff on youtube;-) think most of the drummers dig this big time!!!

Gotta question; maybe you could make a clip of you warming up before a gig or just playing some warm ups that you use a lot??

i really dig your style of drumming man, love the way you play it! You're a lot of inspiration for me:D

[703390]

[YoungHahlem88]

@tarutoboy that look is priceless though.

That's the look you give when it's plainly made clear that you are one of the best drummers or musicians on the planet but I love how he keeps his humility in tact.

[tarutoboy]

@YoungHahlem88 HAHAH NICE

[tarutoboy]

0:52-0:53 haha his face is priceless.. he' like " OH GOd"

[daonpa]

[TheHurricaneboi23]

[Andy4543]

omg i want this track to jam to soo bad

[RufMixa247]

I love how you're playing in a 6/8 feel but when that solo comes in at 0:31 it sounds like you manipulated the time signature into a 4/4 time while still keeping the 6/8 underlay, then break out of it and go right back into that 6/8 feel. Amazing work.

[boqueiranervosa]

hey man congratulations . i'm a brazilian drummer and you have big fans down here.thanks for the inspiration

[winnerbaby44]

[Paitsch]
