am i the only one that notices that there is a tom sound and the kit hes playing is a bass & snare? ahah but still, love this guys, nicest dude ever!!!
Oh my God!!!! He's so cute! And this, is my absolute favourite Christmas carol. By the way, has anyone noticed that he kind of looks like Animal from the Muppets at the very start of the videeo when he was doing his kickass drum solo?
@DrummerTSherry If you're referring to weight, I'm sure that's true, since there are more people in August Burns Red. But if you're referring to music, that statement doesn't make sense mathematically.
I don't know about y'all, but the line about the ox and lamb keeping time always makes me kindof laugh a little. It just kinda personifies the animals in a way that I find amusing. :) LOVE this cover by the way, I usually hate this song, but I replayed this vid 23 times...
I've never liked any Christmas music or Christmas carols and whatnot. Not even when modern bands would cover them. But this... This is just beautiful. Aaron kept it so simplistic by only having three pieces of his drum kit, and the acoustic to back him. It's absolutely beautiful. Plus his voice is like... Perfect. <3
Hey So if you love acoustic music, I think you'd really enjoy my channel! I just started it a month ago and it's a little tricky getting enough views so you pop up on the search! Please come check out my channel and listen to my cover of "Amazing Because it is" By The Almost :D Thanks
@raphael132169 “Truth be told, things change, people change, lives rearrange,” Gillespie wrote in a post on his Tumblr account dated April 6. “My time here in this band is up. I love it, the people the traveling. It is just time for me to go.”
@raphael132169 anyway,he was the drummer and the singer too :P and underoath is the best post-hardcore band in the world in my opinion,so check it out if you like post hardcore or screamo (Y)
this song made me to realize how small I am in this huge world and how God loves me after all. When I listen to this song,everything's so clear and coherent...everything just makes sense.
Now i get it, it means that we cant offer anything to God but what he gave us. We worship him with the talents he let us borrow. He Deserves The (ALL)most.
My cousin in Colombia, South America showed me this song, he didn't know what it said, their a french family in colombia strange huh? Anyways, he really liked the song. 3 weeks later Im back in Florida and looked it up! Not Bad. I think that this is the drummer when he was a small kid or something. cool!
I'm impressed by the many versions of The Little Drummer boy. I remember the day whenthere was just one version, and they played it often. Now we have a multitude of versions and most are never heard on either FM radio stations that have been playing christmas music 24/7. That includes the likes of this one by The Almost. Excellent version, so dynamic and if you don't have a good set of headphones on, then you luck out. Thx4 postin' & Season's Greetings from Vancouver Cda.
even though there is no tom this video is still epic. and the fact that a drummer is doing this song makes it even better it makes more sense that way. i always thought it was funny how a guitarist would sing about playing on his drum.
