Aaron Spears goes in-GC Drum Off 2011

[xXRASHEEDXx]

he went in ,but , his chops lasted too long

[BoyoyongGrowee]

lol @the bald white guy bobbing his head along with every shake of the camera

[fuzzybear718]

Impeccable timing as always.

[kagology]

the way he flipped his stick back into place was too cool

[SirGameChanger]

I saw him at NAMM a month ago, he's lost sooooo much weight, like half of himself.

[MASTERMARK360]

Hell...damn spell check

[MASTERMARK360]

drummer from He'll

[scootbp93]

hahaha hes even got the big ass white guy in the back nodding his head.

[331paradiddle]

What are "gospel chops". How do I know when I am hearing a gospel chop. So if I listen to Dave Weckl or Vinnie Coliauta what type of chops am I listening to. I always thought that chops are chops. Someone please enlighten me.

[glfrancisjr]

--__-- seriously???? the top comment isn't how he DROPPED HIS STICK!! and caught it and FIXED HIS DRUM in the same fill and NEVER LOST HIS BEAT?!?!?!

Skills like mad cow disease!!!

[RasheemH]

@glfrancisjr yea dude I'm surprised no one seemed to notice that either xD

[JolbyKimble]

@glfrancisjr yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss lmaoooooo



[LiveAllegroDieAdagio]

Aaron Spears is part of the next generation of drums who will be considered the best of their time, along with Tony Royster Jr, they have some work to get to THAT level, but they will be there. Right there with Chambers or Weckl

[macktransform2012]

@LiveAllegroDieAdagio Yeah!!! You are right!!! Let me add someone else to your list. Most cats these days don't listen to Gospel music. If you want to see drumming almost to perfection, check out Calvin Rodgers. He played on his first major label record at age 15

[DrummerZful]

@LiveAllegroDieAdagio it's not that easy for aaron...there are thousands of upcoming good gospel drummer.. he need more than just chops

[LiveAllegroDieAdagio]

@DrummerZful have you watched this guy? he has more than just chops... and i do believe i said that he DOES has work to do. but make a note, he will be there.

[XTheSonofTheSunX]

dayum

[butters226]

not gonna lie, my attention was on the jelly roll

[bassefa1984]

0:55 OHHHH My Gawd. XD

[mmdmcknight]

i think im the only one who dosent like this , it seems so unthoughtful and its not organized at all but dont get me wrong aaron spears is just amazing but not in the video come on aaron you can do WAYYY better than this

[zosojb]

is that Michele Obama?

[zosojb]

fat assed greasy bacon smelling mofo

[dookie311]

One of my former teachers was the touring drummer for Mark Wahlburg back in the day. Now he's all gospel and a bad ass on the kit. My point? Don't hate, Gospel music has some of the most dynamic drumming I've ever heard.

[antibulletdodger101]

his chops are even bigger than his ass

[squeezewilson9]

I honestly like Travis Barkers' drumming better on this song. He's just more intense especially on the chorus part, and that's why I like his better. The thing about Travis is that he's not always going to be the better drummer when compared to others as far as technique and chops, but his intensity is hard to match. That's just my opinion, don't slay me for saying I like his better lol. Aaron Spears clowned though no doubt.

[jts024]

I would much rather have teddy in my band

[MrBALLIN99]

BEST DRUMMER EVER.(signs off)

[SurgeFinest11]

@ metalheaddrapper: he's playing to "simply unstoppable" by tinie tempah. Look up Travis barker's version. Aaron spears is better than Travis, but Travis killed it.

[kvistulv]

SWEEEET KIT !!

[esausillo2010]

Bien Aaron me gusta mucho como suenas! Felicidades!!!

[valeriogchannel]

Not musical at all.

[swagboi7]

BLACK POWER!

[athiktos21]

eric moore. look it up.

[metalheadrapper]

[bestdrummaalive]

you da mann...

[MRmoneymakingDRUMMER]

[kennethb214]

#Born2Drum

[JCollins1500]

Understand the business! Nobody comes to see Aaron play musically. Lol Watch an usher concert for that.

[IBJ57]

Is there anyone else that thought he wasnt wearing pants at first!? LOL

[OFM515]

I'm gunna be honest, I'd actually go to church if he was in the band ha

[PAWfan11]

Freakknn beast!!!!!

[DonjuanPepaa]

what song is that ...

[MrFalobalobalob]

@DonjuanPepaa Tinie Tempah - Simply Unstoppable :-)

[ronied125]

ANYONE KNOW WHAT SONG HE'S PLAYING TO?!?!

[1luvquincy]

TONY ROYSTER JR IS BETTER



[dividad1]

@1luvquincy hmm... sounds like you missed the point...

[illerma910]

@1luvquincy ery one knnows tony is the best dick sucker...........Aaron has more flava though.......nick smith is on the rise fuckerssss......check him out sometimes!!!

[707negro]

whos betta SPANKY MCCURDY , AARON SPEARS , RONALD BRUNER JR.

[jrocckkk]

@707negro Arron hands down.... tony.... Spank is good but not to be on there levels

[MrSandman005]

@707negro ronald. nut chris coleman destroys em all

[arturobritos]

asi asi q bien ya hace falta evolucionar y tu lo estas haciendo!¡

[troubleoftheyear]

LORD!!!

[jack33drummer]

Crazy pocket!!! Different style to Travis. Better style in my opinion. The songs called Simply Unstoppable - Tinie Tempah

[BLDRUMMIN]

@jack33drummer FYI. Travis isn't that good. He is one dimension.

[jack33drummer]

@BLDRUMMIN Ah, i typed my comment wrong, was in a rush. Yeah man i totally agree, i meant that i prefer Aaron Spears style. Travis Barker is still a top drummer, but nowhere near as versatile as the Aaron Spears', Tony Roysters and Buddy Rich.. to name a few lol

[MultiZeus91]

@2.26 - @2.36 AMAZING how he can cover it!

[ettorefritz]

damn. anyone know what track this is?



[drummerseahawkboy]

Aaron is a beast one of the best to ever do it buttttttttttt at the same time I swear IMO that he gets sloppy sometimes. I dont want anyone to think Im hating cause Im not. I love Aarons drumming I thinkhes on another level, I just think sometimes so of the things he plays gets sloppy. By that I don't mean playign over the beat or playing a off beat but hes on beat and comes back in on the 1, I dont mean that its just hard to explain

[GabrielTheDrumer]

nice chops aaron why dont you give me some advice on my channel GabrielTheDrummer

[26drummerboi]

dis mayn is sweet

[MrElsuave018]

awesome Aaron Spears one of my favorite drummers

[darksalient]

aindaa achoo quee nenhum desses se compara ao eric moore

[SantinoFilippoFarro]

I got to meet Aaron through a drummer I was gigging with that same night actually. Awesome guy, Gerald Hayward was there too.

[equallyeasilyfuqyou]

what the fuck is a gospel chopper

[PYROprod1]

hit that BALD!!! :D

[CJEntertainment1]

i like how im only thirty seconds into the vid and he's breakin heads and smashin cymbals. thankyou

[ESTIGARRIBI]

o cara não para nem a baqueta caindo nem os toms saindo do lugar muito fera!

[whataregoodpasswords]

yooooo i was at this!!!

[ZaiahBoy15]

Whaaaaaaaaaattt??????!!!!!!!

[EkimWahs]

.......i wish i can upload his chops into my arsenal of seemingly nothingness right now.

[riceboy287]

@EkimWahs the reason he is probably very creative is that he has control of those 32nds and whatnot at that speed. It's all about that control, like I can do some chopppy stuff around 60 bpm-80 bpm. And then I start to have issues doing what I WANT afterwards. It makes me feel bad, bro lol

[4ceboi]

i have no words for this lol

[rock8806]

OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD!

[thiago24312]

muito foda!

[JazzBlues12]

0:58 is funny.. look at him nodding "ahaha i know dude.."

[ronied125]

anyone know what song he's playing to?

[minkusink6]

i donno this isn't one of his cleaner videos. o well, must've smoked too much right before playing

[MrSandman005]

@minkusink6 yea i was thinking the same thing. He's still good but for some reason his chops sound like they dont really go along with the track

[byLivio]

Simply unstoppable!! Sick track by Tinie tempah..

[timpricedrums]

That's one hell of a drum stool!!!

[Msadriannej]

Wow!!! He almost lost a stick at 2:27 and it bounces back to him....wow..

[ThomasLebeaumorley]

@Msadriannej he even fixes his mid tom with his right hand while playing between his right foot and left hand for a fill! fucking pro!

[MorDrums]

0:10 Check out baldy head-bobbin!

[f2theorrest]

The way of the future.

[quedurance1]

LICKS FOR YEARS!!!!!

[Modrums99]

SICK!!!!!!!!! But i wish i could hear the track...it's like hearing one side of a telephone conversation.

[Kaycee31GreatKing]

HE IS STILL ON THE ONE ALWAYS ALL THAT MATTES BUT WAT HE PLAYS IN THE TIME HE HAS IS CRAZY/ STUPID TO REAL MUSICIANS THAT NOW WHAT I MEAN.

[MrUSChopper06]

He smashing for real. Sincerely, A GOSPEL CHOPPER

LOL! Naw on the real though. We as gospel choppers will never convince the world how our chops are useful, yet those same ppl always wonder how we can do and play every genre of music there is. I dont worry about those type of ppl anymore. If you're a gospel chopper than do your thing and dont worry bout everybody else cuz in the end, you're still getting paid just like them. Lol!

[adioskaterdude999]

@MrUSChopper06 Does the world need convincing? Last time I checked, the drumming world has (rightfully so) always praised you guys. I wish I had some of these chops man. More power to ya.

[Kaycee31GreatKing]

yessir@poptrunk06

[poptrunk06]

aaron spears and chris coleman shed would so epic

[MrRyanSams]

@poptrunk06 definitely, also if you haven't seen it someone just uploaded a drum battle between Thomas Pridgen and Ronald Bruner, it's crazy :)

[MrRyanSams]

so sick :) what a guy! :O

[DRUMKINGZ]

he's better with a band

[MrRyanSams]

@DRUMKINGZ Most drummers are, but he's still ridiculously good without a band. Also you can't really hear the music, I guarantee you'd be able to comprehend his chops a lot more if you could hear how they integrate with the music more clearly.

[DRUMKINGZ]

@MrRyanSams I don't know man he's got a good pocket but his chops & rolls are always the same in my opinion

[MrRyanSams]

@DRUMKINGZ Personally I've never thought that about his chops, but even so, Steve Gadd's licks are all the same but that's what makes his style so recognisable. I think you need some distinctive ideas - I can recognise Thomas Pridgen's licks instantly too because of the sort of ideas he uses.

[Kaycee31GreatKing]

These Chops have musicallity just too much for you to understand Study your craft a little bit more.

[MrRyanSams]

@Kaycee31GreatKing I know, it's like if you don't get gospel chops why bother watching a video where you know you're going to hear a guy deploying gospel chops. I'm pretty much the only gospel influenced drummer at my uni and everyone else thinks gospel chops are pointless. I try to point out that every gospel drummer I listen to is amazingly successful and have the best paid gigs right now :P I think people who listen to too much Punk/Rock music just won't understand really :P

[Kaycee31GreatKing]

Killin..Killin....Killin

[SamDrumKey]

these chops haven't musicallity :-(

[MrRyanSams]

@SamDrumKey I guess this is a bit too far away from Phil Collins chops for you eh?
