[joaorecke1993]

Travel the whole world just to bring god closer to other people,

through music.

[FacadeDrummer22]

[Neohippyy]

It's a wonder that his sticks don't break.

[basketballlldude]

1:33 DOUBLE BASS!!!!

[mattsonaboat]

A GREAT drummer! But I feel sorry for his drums haha

[matthewxbrown]

triggers...gay.

[InHerArmsTheBand]

@matthewxbrown aaron doesnt use triggers

[alexfraley]

@matthewxbrown no triggers on his drums. he had one 8 inch roland trigger pad that he put different bass drops on.

[SharkMako]

@matthewxbrown are you blind? are you seeing how freaking hard he is hitting everything?

[rodillases]

@chiodos82 U_U

[rodillases]

its good that he left i fucken hate underØath anyways

weird though i like thier songs sometiems and sometimes i fucken hate i cant stand them

[Morgienoo]

lmao, i love aaron. when he jumps up at 2:18, look his socks :)

[musicnrd]

I wanna say In Regards To Myself, yes?

[LemonMerigueTie]

2:18

classic :D

[prcarlos10]

Who gonna replace that?that man is underoath.

[Guitarfreak2991]

@prcarlos10 DUDE! amen to that! hes what makes the band!

[StraitCutterzDye]

I got to play that drum set he is using in that video a couple weeks ago, i got a private drum lesson with him and i must say he is a great drummer.

[teeth87]

aaron is a gd drummer, check matt greiner from 'August Burns Red' he is pos the best drummer in metalcore atm and a different legue to aaron but underoath r still sweet!!

[josh9301]

Yep Aaron confirmed it he is going to focus on the almost and no word yet who will replace him. But underoath will go on they have said that much

[rodillases]

he quit the band

[Yamaha519VX]

@rodillases he was too good for underoath

[blkvicePU]

there are no words for 1:32

[RobertoLeith]

@blkvicePU I think it's called double kicking.. ;D

[HiddenYoshi]

i dont think he has two pedals...

[drumtilludrop610]

@HiddenYoshi he only uses them for fills, but he has pedals

[RobertoLeith]

@RobertoLeith of course he fucking does.. trust me -.-

[drumtilludrop610]

@blkvicePU there are no words for every moment of this freakin show

[Kickflipkid687]

2:40

[HiddenYoshi]

that was with one foot wasn't it

[forgiven2nite]

nope hes endorsed by evans drumheads. not remo.

[dogandcatman]

@forgiven2nite yeah that's true but that looks like a remo snare head

[SophiaLovesDrums]

no, the coating is still on the head :D

One reason for an Evans head :D

[matthewsomethingteen]

he's straight edge though isnt he or just refrains from smoking and drinking?

[golfafosho1]

amazing.

[matthewsomethingteen]

is aaron gillispe a vegetarian? can't find it anywhere

[BryceButler2]

No Aaron is not a vegetarian, besides being a musician he is a chef in his free time and loves all types of food.

[drumtilludrop610]

@matthewsomethingteen he loves to barbeque actually

[Adamiskew]

brilliant

[drumtilludrop610]

there are no words to describe how great he is...Tim's stuff is so unique that any drummer other than aaron would do no justice to the stuff he writes, it compliments it perfectly while taking on life of its own and being so utterly aaron. Any other drummer would ruin the music. What he plays is so perfect for what is written..thats why he is so great. Especially for the open riff from 12 - 30 seconds if you listen to the riff without the drums and think of a drum part to fit-nothing comes close

[Brentpatterson123]

you re perfectly right man.

[12345Carlos]

@drumtilludrop610 good point man. aaron writes some really good stuff that goes with tim. but i feel like he could elaborate more. with underoath, there's always room for improv. but it just makes it that much more fun to listen to them.

[Needlessband]

@drumtilludrop610 the new drummer does a pretty good job; 

[drumtilludrop610]

@Needlessband yea hes pretty good. but ive listened to them for so long with aaron its kinda hard now...not just cause of the drumming -- there are a couple elements missing without him. but from an objective stanpoint, yes the new guy compliments the band well and contributes.

[manudrum2]

A true artist.

[firstbizzy]

I thought he was endorsed by remo.

[ReverseMyCurse1]

What song is this

[smellsliketeenidiot]

in regards to myself

[stormello11]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! <333333333

[greendaydave1210]

yoooo he so beats the shit out of his kit ,haha love it :)

[crazykinoflongboards]

wrong

[OathImUnder]

Actully truth drums have remo already on them, but when he breaks those he slaps his Coated g2 over clear g1

[Xxc1rcaxX13]

my hero! X)

[Matt777shxt]

He uses evans heads right?

[crazykinoflongboards]

yesss

[augusthour4]

on some of his sets

[bndflame7]

yea

[dillonbf]

People that think he sucks, should take in consideration that he is at the same time, he the lead singer for The Almost, an amazing band.

[00VenGenCE00]

fuck yes....u know a bands good when the drummer hits fucking hard

[wafflesrfckngood]

they always seem like they're out of breath but thats probly cuz ther movin around alot on stage

[Pimpslayerr]

AaronisMyHerooo!

[joshuag94]

u cant categorize all meinl cymbals as thin. they make 100s of different kinds of cymbal types.

[theownman]

what song is this

[Gilgemesh9]

in regards to myself

[steveginfer]

In regards to myself

[jryager2]

lmao haha they are, his main crash is a 24" medium ride and he goes through 1 a week

[OathImUnder]

no, and a thin cymbal would last longer then thick cymbals. But he said in article that he has not broke a cymbal in years.

[OathImUnder]

no cymal cracks fast its just your hitting it wrong.

[RandomlyPredictable]

I thought gillespie was a wussy untill i saw this

[77ToothandNail77]

hahaha ya so ppl think he's a wimp or like he looks like a wimp... but actually he's BA. lol and in some videos he looks pretty jacked!

[joshuag94]

rofl. aaron is such a beast at drums. check out some vids of him drumming for underoath live

[lildrummerboy189]

what type of pants is he wearing? lol

[emoskaterfrompsl]

skinny jeans lol XD

[KMacDiesel]

aaron rulez!

[stoopidhed]

I met Aaron irl he lives in tarpon springs Florida where I live and I saw him at a show

[yeggs24]

i love aaron but i dont know why he rocks meinl..i fucking hate them, they cracked so fast and thier sound is awful..but i guess when your aaron and your the man, you can pull it off haha.

[cthomas1111]

probably cos he gets payed alot to ;) he fucking rocks though

[yeggs24]

yeah they sponsor him, send him cymbals whenever he asks. but i dono how he likes the sound of them.

[ihatescreamobands]

he probally likes them just fine, i mean underoath is pretty big so he could probally get any cymbal company to sponsor him

[MYnewHAIRcut666]

the fact is they crack fast haha but the real question is how they even survive one song with him murdering them like that haha! but no doubt hes the man

[1995140]

I think that he`s left chras is a 19 or 20 :P

[Quake227]

what a bad drummer!!!!!!

[octavarium8818]

ignorance.

[octavarium8818]

Aaron is fucking amazing. i just saw them at Warped the other day right when he got back. i was soo glad he was feeling better because i was afraid i would see him. soooo fucking great tho.

[XXchikmychemXX]

this is metalcore, do you think is heavy metal or death metal? i don't think so...

[tdwp1992]

1:31 the double kick sounds immense!!!

[deanxml]

will everybody shut up and stop and fucking listen to the drumming call him what you want but he is a good drummer he's a hell of a lot better then a lot of people don't come to videos to talk shit about the drummer

[marlboroman182]

NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE this video is just for aggressivec and drummerdude696969 comments only... anyone else who wants to see aaron play just keep searching any other video THANK YOU

[sumdude213]

goddamnnn he hits like a maniac! what a beast!

[XxzondervanxX]

i think some of you guys need to give him a little more respect than what you are givin him he is a great drummer. besides if any of you knew the what it was like to actualy play live in that setting, plus with the style of music it is actualy requiered to play that hard and with the energy he has. Also he has very good technique, he does some things that are pretty difficult to cover in his fills in some of his songs but their is really no reason to try and put him down.

[AggressiveC]

NO TECHNIQUE. Aaron sucks and needs to hit less hard.

[drummerdude696969]

faggot!

wut do u play? jazz or pop shit.

you're just to much of a pussy to handle hardcore music.

[AggressiveC]

First of all, you are calling me a faggot, when you are obviously a scene kid with colored hair and tight clothes... That is the definition of male gay-ness... All scene kids are gay (by the way, I am not homophobic, it's just a fact).

Second of all, I do play jazz. I also play Extreme Metal. Try looking up Dimmu Borgir, Nile, Origin, Dying Fetus or Death to understand what I do, before you bash me again...

Lastly, I am no pussy. You could never handle the music I listen to and...

[drummerdude696969]

i have short brown hair buddy.

and you're obviously wrong. I do listen to that stuff and its pretty obvious that only fucked up people with crazy ass minds like and listen to it.

Underoath and other bands have a purpose. A meaning. Those bands just complain about shit because they're fed up with their own pathetic lives. Like yourself

[AggressiveC]

What bands like Underoath and all those other scene bands don't complain? Why do you think they are all cutting themselves and all thats shit... Eh I give up. I tried.

[AndThasWhasUp]

Extreme Metal huh..... How can you even handle that!?!!?

[AggressiveC]

It's my musical tastes. How can you handle this? Uhhh, maybe you like it?

[AndThasWhasUp]

Tell me about this "EXTREME METAL"

[AggressiveC]

It's basically too hard to explain... Just listen to the following and see if it's your thing.

Morbid Angel- "Rapture"

Kreator- "Pleasure To Kill"

Death- "Symbolic"

Mayhem- "Freezing Moon"

At The Gates- "Slaughter of the Soul"

Enjoy!

[AggressiveC]

this is technically "pop music"... I mean, it's mass produced, major lable garbage. All the scene kids listen to it, as they are a cult who do everything each other does. You, drummerdude, are a scene kid.

Would you like to know what "hardcore" was before shitty bands like Underoath and Brokencyde became the norm? It was bands like Minor Threat, Black Flag, Bad Brains and D.R.I. Again, you could not handle any of that music, as it is real and non fake, like Underoath.

[danconsequence]

sorry mate, im a fan of plenty death metal and hardcore. but death metal is a 'scene' as much as any other genre. at shows people wear the same shit, often have plenty of samey attitudes etcetc.

also comparing underoath, a band that have been around for many years and worked their way up the musical chain via hard work and dedication, to tripe such as brokencyde is very very silly..

finally back to the point. aaron is a great drummer with a lot of passion and power!

[AggressiveC]

Finally, I cannot believe you are calling Jazz shit. Listen to Billy Cobham's playing in the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Could Aaron play that? He couldn't even lick Cobham's toe... Jazz is not shit music, it's just that you don't have an open mind.

and to Lambogatti... I do not have a cymbal endorsement, but I do care about how my gear is. I don't need an endorsement to understand that a cymbal is not a peice of shit to be constantly bashed on til broken. An endorsement makes zero difference...

[drummerdude696969]

i did not call jazz shit. i meant that pop was shit. beause i must say that jazz is very peaceful and relaxing to listen to and play. I just dont listen to it all the time.

and endorsements are nice to have. but i would have to agree with you.

[AggressiveC]

I have said my peace... Check out the bands I have mentioned and then come back here telling me how Underoath is better. I don't care. Aaron sucks, Underoath sucks and god is not real. Peace and goodwill.

-Connor

[teodo]

sit down kid, in some years you will realize that music aint about how good ppl are on their instruments, its about the music and feeling that they create.

And that's individual to each and everyone!

[kaseyjayy]

Yes, ALOT of people can play it. Like ANY other song, people can cover it. The thing is coming up with it, and playing it as well as him. I guarantee you can't play it as well as him and with as much energy. Plus he uses all single strokes, not rolls and crap.

[repoweermann]

is crazy *-* I love you underoath

[loosenutlambert]

What rudiments does he use?

[TheDevilWearsPradaa]

paradiddles, paradiddle-diddles

and some time some tripelit rythem (swiss army maybe? dunno)

he cant do rolls well so he single strokes everything (the way it should be done)

hes a beast no lie

[LemonMerigueTie]

2 words..

fucking

beast.

[moedadrumma]

dayum hard hittin da dude got..haha..nice

[joshuag94]

what sticks does he use?

[watsupjack123]

promark 2bs

[joshuag94]

i htought he endorsed vic furths?

[Imthedrummer04]

nope promark

[chloerockerchick]

but he is still amazing.. give himm some credit... he drums and sings at the same time... and he is amazing... even tho his nickname is piglet.. lol

:p peace

he is amazing!!!!!

[zjd158]

honestly... he's not as precise as i thought live. which is totally okay. he's such a beast.

piglet. lol.

[choops0803]

i guess aaron's okay.

[badassoptimusprime]

yeah meinl byzance

[sandshinobi17]

Aaron is so hardcore!

he is one of my fav. drummers!

the music flows alot through him!

[jordanbrown2323]

1:32

Fuck My Life

SOOOOOO

sic

[Blastgrinder]

???

[javdrummies]

hahahahaha that's what i said!!

[xikilledthescenekidx]

one of the best drummers alive!!! i like drummers that hit hard. it takes alot to do that and i drum and it takes alot outta you..

[cutdownsideways]

yeah he gets into it and it rules so much

[TurboSiri]

decent chops

[purecussion]

No.. it's not a crash ride...

It's the Byzance (dark I think)24" ride. It used to be a prototype only but i think they actually sell it now.

[toiletring]

It's not a dark. It's a medium traditional ride. I have one and it sound absolutely amazing! Unfortunately they cost like $400! Come check out my cover of this song, see for yourself, they sound gorgeous, so it's deffinately worth it.

[thanksmisfortune]

everyone bitches about how hard he hits. who gives a fuck. he can get new cymbals for free

[haproductions01]

not to mention he uses 2Bs. VERY hard to break.

[octavarium8818]

he has signature pro marks actually. theyre really similar to the 2b's tho.

[minirampmitch]

130 single blast!!

[xalexisxmrcsx]

ROCKETOWN!!

[haproductions01]

rocketown has sone very sick shows.

saw adtr and tdwp there. trying to get tickets to the next emmure or carnifex show

[xELTxHITM4N]

how was the tdwp concert i couldnt get tickets

[haproductions01]

it was pretty fuckin epic.

the pit was big, but not many kids know how to dance in nashville.

but the bands were fucking ace.

[alexnoob]

no drugs?

[GirlDrummerTH]

my god, at the beggining, his stick doens't break !? :|

[DWdrummer57]

i was thinking the same thing.

[Hypog33kz]

because promark drumsticks are amazing!

[SvZ12]

Nope. His sticks are extremely hard. I have one that he used.

[bigbo360]

same

[Gleastone11]

jeez 1:30 is so sick.

[Godswarriorinaction]

The reason why he cannot use a double kick is because before he used one and it stuffed up his foot.

[ecnivfc]

what do you mean?

[LawlzcatsLawlz]

How did it stuff up his foot?

[DevonDrums]

wonder how quick he goes through heads

haha

hes so good

[lostinfound777]

im not saying that aaron should change his drumming, but i think some songs would sound really cool if they had some double bass, and aaron is the shit end of story.

[unkiesam26]

a lot of em do, they have a bunch of songs that dont use it, sumtimes i like keeping things simple i only use mine sumtimes but he most definitly has 1, he just uses it a lot more sparingly nowadays, eg. the intro of the only survivor

[theused4lyyfe]

i love how every time he hits the kicks the camera shakes haha

[captainkirk414]

double kick at 2:32.

[Tencor09]

double kick all over this frackin vid lol

[letsdelayourmisery]

I don't care what anyone says or who he's compared to...

aaron is fucking KING.

no doubt about it

[drummerdude6670]

Couldnt agree more...

[SweepxThexLeg]

He plays with so much intensity, it's great.

[BYROM3YA]

he must have really strong sticks

[tylerkershaw]

veddy nice!

[mychemicalapparatus]

i would enjoy watching this in HD =)

[drummerdude6670]

I love how just totally slashes at his cymbals at all times...

[frogjelly2]

wow, aaron is amazing! very solid and keeps good timing. one of my favorite drummers right there.

[willmer88]

I guess I just started one of those "who's the best drummer" arguments that i hate so much. so i'll just sum up my argument and shut up:

Aaron is in no way a bad drummer, i just don't seem to be overly impressed.

(still love underoath, and his drumming fits the music well)

[tanner5390]

wilmer go watch the "it's dangerous business walking out your front door" vid

[drumminfortruth]

Aaron is my favoriote drummer. I play all of his stuff. I love playing his style of playing. He's not all that impressive but as a young drummer like myself whose trying to mold his style, Aaron is a great model for me.
