Aaron Gillespie of Underoath - live in Nashville III

[MariaMorphine999]

my favorite video in the youtube world.

[PeterJenkinsDrummer]

what song is this the intro to?



[ryanoathpradaforce]

@PeterJenkinsDrummer returning empty handed is the song.

[Maxman0023]

Oh my goodness!

[metalsk8ter14]

rudiments are smooth as silk

[iiiJesus]

the thing to remember is that he's singing the entire time

[ejlizzz]

@iiiJesus no hes not

[iiiJesus]

@ejlizzz k well he's singing SOMETIMES, while killing it on the set the ENTIRE time. BETTER? lol

[TheSpeedOfThoughtTX]

How does this not have more Views than DanielWilliams' Meinl Video.... I think A vid like this of Daniel Davison would be sick..

[MoritaLoritaMolidita]

no, his is like animal from the muppets in super sayayin phase 4

[ebbawler333]

If anyone honestly think that Daniel is better than him, you have some brain deformities.

[Altered6Chicken]

Dude, this is like watching Animal from The Muppets. Holt shit! :D

[subhumanguy]

@Altered6Chicken hahaha for reals dude!

[Craftonboy]

I don't understand. Are the drum sticks made of metal? xD

[SamR118]

I think he better than Daniel.. Like by alot

[breakabutterfly]

i died at 4:20 

[teeth87]

2 DISLIKES TO THIS!! WTF LOL! Must have been an accidental slip of the finger after aarons barbaric performance making 2 viewers a little to moist.

[wehaste100]

honestly way better than devil wears daniel!

[morthgog]

By ears and eyes cannot get a grasp of how insanely gnarly this is.

[BradBirchallKTC]

such a sick rudiment from 0.34, i miss this guys drumming....

[920connor]

@BradBirchallKTC 16th note wouldn't really be considered a 'sick rudiment' lol but sick... yes

[leonconradsebastian]

how are there dislikes?

[JackboyOC]

sweet jesus

[thesilenceisbrutal]

holy shit..

[BugandZProductions]

Possibly the best video of Aaron drumming I've ever seen. And that's saying something, considering how good every video of him drumming is.

[drummerdude1204]

4:17 is so.. undescribable.

[bloodline862]

holy shit look at the way he beats them drums :D i miss him he is the only reason why underoath was one my favorite bands and without him its just spencer and that just kinda sucks it cant be underoath with the aaron in the band playing his drums like theres no tomrrow and sing soooooo beautifully

[rjthegolfer93]

every hit on his snare and toms are so crisp. its amazing.

[thesilph]

If my snare sounded like that , I'd sleep hugging it

and the toms too, sound like cannons

this entire video is awesome

[lilstalion10]

@920connor the song is returning empty handed

[breakabutterfly]

HOLY SHIT LOOK AT 01:17

[liah666satan]

Who else died a little when he quit?

Haha I looked up to this guy so much with drumming and now he doesn't even play drums in a band

[Kleina15]

@liah666satan Underoath was my favourite band for like 6 years because of Aaron.

But without him, I won't go to any shows of them anymore and I won't even buy their new record.

Spencer and the others are awesome as well, but as a drummer I have to say, no Aaron, no listen. =/

[SharkMako]

@Kleina15 the new drummer is pretty good and the new album is pretty good. but thats just it.. its only pretty good. not AMAZING! Aaron was why Underoath was awesome.

[920connor]

what song is this? 

[chris5067]

You never get anyone thats so passionate in playing drums as aaron is, he is by far the best drummer that has ever lived

[froggyoathwearsprada]

no more aaron like this. hes out

[PipoBones]

=O woah. ive never seen aaron play like that. TIGHT.

[PipoBones]

=O woah. ive never seen aaron play like that. TIGHT.

[sirolly101]

movement at 0:58! ROBOTRONIC

[SKOZ03]

Aaron is the BEST drummer alive!!! or at least of our generation definitely!!! i saw him live he was sooo damn suick!!!

[MrxXReptarXxSir]

1:14 - 1:21 is the sickest double bass i have ever heard!

[Bunnysek7]

Fuck Yeah!!!the best player for me!!!Gooo Aaron!!!

[Damhiz]

intro is fucking sick!

[Lace2x]

[drumtilludrop610]

[itsharryward]

[MrBassplayer94]

[MrBassplayer94]

[itsharryward]

[rct3hazardous]

[ismellmonkeybutts]

[tylerallenwitte]

Boss.

[alexfraley]

what song is that

[ryanoathpradaforce]

the song is Returning Empty Handed.

[alexfraley]

thanks, i though so but i havent listend to that song in a while

[paulard666]

man he rapes the rev on drums with a kit half the size

[amparnell]

3:46 is my favorite fill.

[xELTxHITM4N]

o man Nov. 20 im gunna be there

[jryager2]

anyone know which of his kits he's using here?

[WeaponDrummer]

sounds / looks like a truth.

pretty sure it is

[jryager2]

yea i was wondering which truth, he has many

[mrfunnymonkeyman]

have you seen the 777 dvd? its the silver one from that. he has a new set almost every tour though.

[crazykinoflongboards]

i love the fills like 3:08

[yoyoggw126]

yah, it's nice but it's such an average fill...

i been impressed with many othre fills by Aaron than that one

[amparnell]

I realize its not the hardest or most complicated, but its very solid, which is what makes a good drummer.

[drummerdude1204]

2:03 best fill ever

[Globalninja01]

god i love the way his toms + bass sound! friggin cannons

[drummerdude1204]

respond to scooterboy1204 on this channel, i made a new one

[scooterboy1204]

while we're on the cymbal subject, Which series are better Byzance or Mb20? I like the sound of Mb20's, tell me what you think

[OathImUnder]

it depends on what sound you like, Mb20 are bright and loud but byzance have a warmness to them and blend with the mix better, go to the meinl website and figure out what you like!

[scooterboy1204]

3:08- accidently clicks the sticks during the fill..but god this song is impossible to play..props

[rjthegolfer93]

i made a comment about the same thing like a month ago, and i got flamed for it lol. i was like "seriously? i was just pointing that out"

[jryager2]

yea people get so mad when i make just the chillest comments, its crazy how badass people try to act online

[jryager2]

he uses

24" byzance traditional medium ride - main crash

22" byzance traditional medium crash - right hand side crash

21" byzance traditional medium crash - left side crash

14" byzance dark hihats with the bottom hat on top

[JORDANROUBIQUE]

you got it wrong. he uses 15 hats.

[jryager2]

no if you check his official set up on the meinl website its exactly like I said. but if you want to be technical and list every cymbal he's ever used, then yea he used to use 15" hats, but seeing as the dark hats arent made in 15" size....

he used a 22" spectrum ride for the entire record "lost in the sound of separation"

so if you were looking for a complete list of every cymbals he's ever used, then yea "i got it wrong"

but i posted his official set up...

good call...?

[JORDANROUBIQUE]

ahah. im just saying what i figured oout at warped this year.. and they were dry hats i think.. the 15s at least.

but nah. i dont feel like going through em all lol. anyways. i wasnt being all grrr. just figured id comment on sumthin.. i get pretty bored at times..

[jryager2]

oh ok i gotcha man, its hard to tell how someone says something when its online, my last few posts have had people just screaming at me haha so I thought you were, its cool

[JORDANROUBIQUE]

HAHA. nah brah. its cool.

[alexfraley]

nah he uses different ones all the time on the newest cd it was 14 but he said that he had a set of 13 and 15 hes used b4

[LorenzoSk8sPlanB]

IDOL!

[silentdeath64]

What song is this? Can't really hear what they're singing

[seinty]

returning empty handed,

[MCJosh009]

this man is a beast!

[AltidoreFan91]

Oh of the best drummers ever and to think someone i know called him trendy

[andrew930605]

did anyone see the vid. of him getting his thumb surgery? just goes to show he doesn't hold back when playing as awesome as he does.

[JORDANROUBIQUE]

i honestly think every underoath fan has seen that man lol.

i got blood poisening but i didnt get it that bad lol. by stick broke and like cut my finger open and it got all dirty and infected lol.

[rjthegolfer93]

at 3:09, did anyone else hear his sticks hitting each other. its really faint but if you listen closely you can hear it!

[loverCookieXD]

i heard him hit them but dude what does it matter no one is perfect and he made like 1 mistake threw all of these songs serously its sad how badly you guys must be jealous of aaron if you can point something this small out...

[rjthegolfer93]

who said he isnt perfect. i admire this guy to know end. i just wanted to see if anyone could hear it. but i see how you could have thought that

[fnofficer]

where did he mess up i dont see it?

[teeth87]

lol this has to be the most pointless comment written on here!!!

[rjthegolfer93]

haha, its not *the* most pointless comment. there are some others

[JORDANROUBIQUE]

aha! look at his face after he does hit em though hes like oh dang! i cant believe i didnt drop one! lol nah im just messin.

[vadihelahelvete]

i love the intro, kick ass

[davesXe]

1:10 - 1:20 is soo sick. the double bass wow

[Bass4Christ08]

i love the beat at 2:51

[PB0277]

0:53 is sick

[revenge102992]

his rolls are so good

[thedrummerkid420]

Amazing drummer

amazing voice

great guy...

underoath owns.....

[lambogatti]

i just noticed at the beggining he hits that electronic pad.. ive always noticed him having it but not him using it and ive always wondered what it was for. =) now i know.

[OathImUnder]

Bass drops

[zofo245]

i was there

[DDrumTama]

Is that sweat running down his pants? or....??

[trio952]

Its water from his water bottle mixed with sweat. He drinks really fast and sometimes just poors it over himself

[CANdavidFLY]

he pours water on himself to cool off.

[shelf1122]

EPIC!

[tr00k]

2:05 - pants-jizzing footwork.

[freohr789]

Ah, Returning Empty Handed! This song is pretty awesome, I wish I'd be able to play this song but I don't think I will ever become that good.

love you Aaron =) Complete awesomeness!

[heavenwithin81]

The freedom in doing what you love....awesome.

[spratty59]

Hes soo fucking good!

[heavenwithin81]

Wow dude, I dont think people realize how athletic being a drummer really is.

[spratty59]

One of my local universities did a study/experiment and apparently a drummer needs like an elite athletes level of fitness.

And then add aarons singing on top of that lol.

[Matt777shxt]

Yeah it's definately not easy... He has to put his drumming on auto pilot while he is singing lol...

Robot gillespie ftw :)

[fuckboyronaldinho10]

i wonder how many cymbals does he broke per year haha

[THEprojectMIKE]

Meinls are very stable, I had MCS's, and the crash broke after 2 years, and I hit hard, He probably gets a new set set every 2-3 months or so. If that

[MeinlMan89]

His cymbals are a lot bigger and a lot better quality than the MCS's, his interview in Modern Drummer said that he hasnt broken a cymbal in years

[THEprojectMIKE]

I know, I was adding on to the fact that mine are low end, and his are high end, mine are stable, so his are obviously going to be

[MrDJJINX]

Yeah im pretty sure he uses the Byznce series now, i got a 17 and 18 inch Byzance crashes and dont have to worry about cracking them at all

[alexke369]

yup, all byzance

[seinty]

im not sure if he is right now, but in "survival kaleidoscope", on his left, he uses his signature crash, im not sure but in an interview he says "i have a 21" signature mb20 crash" but im not sure coz i dnt use meinl so im not sure about the names of series

[THEprojectMIKE]

Yeah he does use Byzance, they all are.

[TenaciousDuo22]

i broke my 21 like a month ago after almost 2 years! i wanted to cry i love those cymbals

[WeaponDrummer]

Possibly the best video on youtube.

[THEprojectMIKE]

ahahaha rims solo, thats sick

[Mariooo57]

he is a monster !

awesome

[teeth87]

wtf hes not colour blind in the eye which works but your right he is blind in one eye.

[seinty]

hes blind in one eye and colour blind in the other !!!  the keyboardist says in an interview. " we called him the red headed cyclops " !!! so yeahhhh

[legitstuff]

haha i was just watching that today!!

but i dont remember him saying he was color blind in the other.

but oh well that just makes him that much more amazing

[CANdavidFLY]

no he's called the red headed cyclops because he hair is in front of his eye his real vision is fine.  just a joke haha get it not really blind ahaha get it

[darrelldrummer89]

what do you mean hes as blind as a bat i swear he can see perfect i heard some one said on here he fucked his foot up before any one know anything about that what happend

[MalDrumX]

i don't know about the foot thing. but he's blind in one eye and colour blind in the other... and yet he's still the best drummer i've ever seen =)

[Kounnas]

the only thing i know is that he cut his foot at a show i was at cause his footpedal snapped,which has happened to me,i got lucky though.

[AznROx89]

Idk which eye it is but he is kinda blind in one eye, go find some interviews and you will see

[funnyashell75]

this is my favorite out of all the live in nashville vids

[951Biatch]

damn hez sick wit it!

idk who i luv more LP or AAron.

totally different stylez, but talent wize

there both fukken amazing

[froggyoathwearsprada]

proving that he is one of the best in metalcore/hardcore scene

[toiletring]

and to think, he's as blind as a bat and can still play like that! Crazy!

[papichief117]

omfg someone stop him his gonna kill someone lol

[unkiesam26]

This is my favourite song off the album, the song that really got me in2 these guys, there all amazing!

[lemonchaos17]

The entire earth seems to shake with his first head-bang

[rachelistheowniest]

[rachelistheowniest]

[Rac07b]

2:03-2:07 OOO sick bass roll

[bringmethehorizon7]

[AZRedBlue]

0:09-0:44 :D

[drummerdude6670]

I wonder wat kit he isusing here and what he is using to muffle his toms...

[imoverage]

truth kit,

moon gels.

[XnonameX]

3:26 he HAS to hit it =P lol

[TheDevilWearsPradaa]

lol.

[StricklandPropane1]

I think in that awesome drum intro he's just using singles. I didn't see any doubles or paradiddles.

[joeneau]

i think your spot on man, part from at like 21 second i can see some doubles but i dont think he's using any paradiddles or para diddlediddles or any other rudiments

[Ploxinator]

yeesh, how does he not go through a snare a week? lol

[Crustysucks]

who says he doesn't? :D

[shaggymcb3]

Wow you must all suck if u think hes not good Hes got precision, a ton of showmanship, and he is so creative as well as playing what is needed and respecting the music

[haewonleee]

1:19 is ill

[SecsiRanga]

yeah if you watch his legs move you can see hes got double bass

[Matt777shxt]

the begining was perty beast
