  • that last solo was just way too random...didn't make any rhythmical sense to me. Just sounded like he tried to hit everything he could as fast as he could and then added a few simple transitions to make it less spastic...lol

  • I was there that day...the audio on the video of the performance sounds good, but the live sound in the auditorium was horrible and muddy. As I recall, the MD people later said they were running

    around 80 mic cables into the board for that performance. I couldn't make heads or tails out of what was being played. It sounded like 4 guys just beating the hell out of their drums...under water.

  • I bet they barely even practiced that and it sounded that good...

    HOW DID THEY TURN THERE DRUMS SO AMAZING?

  • They are better drummers than me, but it still sounds like a bunch of shit.

  • why aaron? why do you do this to us, the white drummers? Lol

  • Neil Peart and Travis Barker is better.

  • @pdrums777 Get lost fuckface

  • @1slasken1 obviously sarcasm doesn't exist in your country oh well

  • @pdrums777 Neil Peart plays strictly to a book, and Travis looks like he's flogging a dead goat when he plays. These drummers have soul and can groove to ANY beat, and they can throw ANY fill with ANY timing and ALWAYS crash on beat one.

    Though I like Neil Peart's playing, these drummers are WAY better IMO.

  • @IPstixrawesume i agree.

  • @pdrums777 They are completely different styled drummers. You can't compare them at all. Travis Barker is a horrible drummer IMO...good for his genre, but he's completely overrated.

  • this is awesome

  • Distinctly Average.......

    Lol.

  • all black dude. figures. why are they so good

  • OMG!!!!

  • thenoblequran (Ctrl+Enter)

  • One could write a complete album, there's so much melody in their playing! Man, I can almost sing them back. Their fills pop up randomly in my mind during the day! :D Thank you!!!

  • Three Smidgets! hahahaha

  • What's that guy in the middle all about?

  • @m4tbr That would be Nissan Stewart! Do a search!

  • @oOojUsTiNoOo Thats the guy Who plays for american idol... and married too 1 of the singers from mary mary... named Teddy Campbell

  • @RaySession17 They're both in the middle, We know who Teddy Campbell is. Maybe he wanted some info on the guy with the drum machine/sampler aka Nissan Stewart.

  • HELLA HARD!!! imma be there in like 3 or 4 years lol

  • just looking at that made me sweat

  • I'm getting kinda mad.. and bitter.

    Cause i wanna do that, thats one hell of a dream,

    To play with those guys on that stage. A drummers wet dream!!

  • MARVIN McQUITTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • Holy crib cooble!!!!

    but what i see in the guy in the red is a god.

  • @Bzong he's a killer...slayin' them drums

  • why did no one tell me about gospel drumming before!

  • @joelywoel lool...theres alot to find out in music. for everybody ..its a good thing uve stepped outta yur circle to find out what others a doing..shows true marks of real musicianship! lol

  • damn they smooth like a buttermilk biscuit

  • Wonder how those batters make it?

  • Wow, the same exact technique all around. Amazing.

  • Aaron can grrove with the best of em, check out his DVD

  • OMG 4 drummers that all only do pointless random shit at once... gahhh someone shoot me, PLEASE!

  • Oh my!!! My face melted!!!!

  • Speechless

  • epic...

  • aaron the man spears!!!

  • At the end of the day I havecome to the conclustion its each to their own and complaing about other drummer is no good for soul or anyone. Just play what you play. Drummer always have a go at each other. Some guys like chops let them do it they are expressing themselves some guys like Jazz,Grooving,raggae,soul, afro beat etc . Lets stop bitching about, this drummer is better than that one, that one is better than this one lets just enjoy how drummers are expressing themselves.

  • @gbengaaaa You are so right sir. Music is not a D**k measuring contest. Its art, its expression, its supposed to be fun. Imo, technique for the drummer is like the words for the poet. The more words he knows, the better he can express himself. Some drummers have shitty technique but still makes awsome songs. Even thou i love watching the masters rip it up, Technique isn't everything. Ppl who diss other drummers lack of technique needs stop hearing the drums, and start hearing the music..

  • @gbengaaaa good job

  • @gbengaaaa AAAAMMMMMENNN!!!!!!!

  • these guys are very dangerous drummers

  • aaron is the best out of these four by far

  • Probably cause I'm a big Fred Hammond fan...Marvin McQuitty is the mayne!!! Good bass player too.

  • yea at soloing! take away the chops and he's the weekest link! trust me

  • No. Aaron is the only one who is showing immaturity in his playing by simply busting out the singles on 32nd notes and hitting whatever gets in the way of his sticks. The other guys all have a much higher respect for rhythm, and are actually trying to construct something worth grooving to.

  • yeah I think that the whole point of this is to "groove" not mash. Now dont get me wrong, I really like Aaron but I think Teddy and the others are a lot more musical. The kind of people I would want in the studio.

  • @carl9z well seeing that this was supposed to simulate a shed session, the point of it wasnt for groove, thats why they each did a solo piece afterwards

  • Comment removed

  • ERROR6193

  • Wow, this is the Gerald I still remember. I saw him a few weeks ago and he has lost alot of weight. Killer drumming!

  • in a day and age when most drummers sound the same carter beauford stands out . these guys are good,but carter is able to put chops in sounds. he can solo within a song.

  • Well Said bro........Well said

  • love gerald heyward

    inspired by aaron spears

    PRAISE Carter Beauford

  • just alot of practis and you too kan be as good as these guys;)

    You Kan Never Be The Best Drummer

    Because theres always something to learn in drumming , skills,technique,speed ect

  • Dont know why anyone gave you a thumbs down, you're spot on.

  • invergordon drum off.check out this video

  • OMFG AARON !!!!

  • marvin and gerald are my favorite here

  • For Everybody!

    Gadd - 1st of all - musician, but not just a good drummer! In this category also Al Foster, etc.

    Weckl, Colaiuta, those from this video - just very, very good DRUMMERS, and that's all.

    To be honest, Aaron inspires me. I like modern drumming.

  • Are u serious??? Vinnie and Dave are 2 of the most influential modern drummers ever. Look at all the dudes in this videos' inspirations!!!! Easy 2 of most musical modern drummers ever.

  • you don't see the difference between DRUMMER and MUSICIAN that is a drummer=))

  • aaron blazed the hell outta these cats

  • i like aron but trio weckl colaiuta gad is much better..

  • ur so ryt

  • ryt? no i like many styles of drumming but.. not this trio

  • I have to totally agree...these guys are good...the Weckl...Colaiuta...Gadd ...well, those are 3 of the best in the world...

  • too nice!!

    first name is aaron and my last name is hAyward.... Maybe its a sign lol.

  • Aaron is just sick men sick!!!!!

  • just notice that everytime aaron does a cut teddy campbell smiles at him that's how he gives respect I like him.

  • where is eric moore?

  • takin notes in the crowd lol

  • U CAN HARLDY HEAR ARONS DRUMS

  • geyward heyward is one of those drummers that plays with cuts....but out of all the drummers AARON KILLLED IT!!!!!

  • U sound ignorant when you make comments like that!

  • Man Aaron Spears is a God amongst men...

  • I like how the gospel drummers set up their drumkit, it's beautiful. And the tuning is of the hook, i like how the drumss sound too

  • i have an answer for quackbeef.

    in my opinion (only my opinion) the all use DW drums because the music that they all play is very powerfull, and they need that sound and i think DW give that power.

  • I not being racist or anything but why do most black Hip-hop and R&B Drummers use DW Drums?

  • thats a pretty dumb question.

  • Why is that a dumb question? I am just wondering if DW drums sound good to them for Hip/Hop and R&B. or is it a status symbol? It is kinda wierd that such a large porportion of Black drummers use DW Drums.

  • DW drums are just good sounding drums. For the drummer who wants the same sound quality but a little less expensive, They will go with YAMAHA, Ddrum or TAMA!

  • What makes DW more expensive is the quality control that goes into making each drum. John Good will toss out a shell if it doesn't cut it. Additionally, they're always innovating new processes and rethinking the way drums work. They're a fine company, but my Tama Starclassic Performer works for me.

  • You're right!

  • Hip/Hop, and RnB are both very american styles, so it's more authentic to use a deep american, and stylish drum DW is. Most europeans (sponsored ones ) use Sonor for example ( Jojo Mayer, Thomas Lang, etc.)

  • race has nothing to do with it, drummers just love DW because it plainly sounds good and thats it. it just so happens that many of them love it and play it. but it doesnt mean anything.

  • noone here really knows what they are talking about.....the drum company is usually the one to approach the artist not the other way around. Right now Sonor and DW are the two most popular drum companies and are recruiting the most. Most artists arent going to turn down a drum endorsement when they are first getting started, so even if they dont play the drum co. that comes to them they are most likely going to accept. Its as simple as that. DW and Sonor are both unbelievably nice either way.

  • I don't know man... is it just me.....?

    

    Marvin is the more musical of them!

    He has taste, you can understand what he's doing... it's not just licks... he makes the drums sound so simply... good!

  • true!!

  • These guys sound ill man I would love to play with 4 guys that had their shit seriously together with a dj.

  • what china does spears use?

  • Aaron is phenomenal

  • marvin is one the most purest drummers that's in the industry.

  • Agreed on 0:45 soundin mean

  • agreed too!

  • Blessed!

  • That was some sic stuff.

  • Who do you not like? I count FIVE people(don't forget the DJ) up their wanking and spanking...;>

  • NIIIIIIIIICEE!! \O/

  • i luv that beat from gerald in 0:45 is soooooooooooooo cold men sounds great

  • yeah i can't get enough of that either man, grooves so hard

  • I love all three of those guys....theres no need to compare em because they have their share of projects

    and I got a question is Gerald on tour with Lil Wayne? I think I saw him on SNL when Michael Phelps was on there

  • LO MEJOR QUE VI EN MI VIDA!!!

  • DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMmmmmmmmmmNnnnn­nnn!!!!!!

  • crayyyyyyy!!!

  • amazing

  • A yaw dont forget to give it up to Nissan because that Click was DOOOOOPPPPPEEEEE!!!!!

  • If I had half the talent of any of these guys I would be happy

  • aarons the only one who actually had fun with it and grooved.

  • real groove at 1:11..

    they'r all good, Aaron's the flashiest but check out that guy..

  • That's Marv McQuitty, he's more so the old-school player here. He toured for years and has now settled down in Houston and become more of a mentor type to many younger drummers(including Aaron). He's constantly doing projects here and there, like this MD festival and various records all over the place. I know him from our church in Houston, talked to him yesterday. Super cool guy. My favorite here ;)

    God Bless

    -Nate

  • oh my god now now yes aarons spears oooo

  • My top three was Aaron, Gerald,and then Marvin. I will say this though starting at 00:44 with Gerald nice and tasteful. Gerald gives you that stuff that's just like wow. Now I wish eric Byous was up there for those who don't know. God Bless.

  • They are missing Spanky McCurdy..

  • very good

  • aarons the only one who actually had fun with it and grooved.

  • All of them look like they're havin fun to me, and all of them are groovin. They all just have different styles

  • Too bad Nathaniel Townsley wasn't there

  • aaron spears is beter than all of them

  • they all were good

  • gerald wins

  • I'm with cb, Aaron just has more heat behind what he plays, more conviction, more sweat. It always looks like he means it more than the other guys. They're all top-shelf drummers, every one of them is really good, but I like Aaron the best.

  • Aaron is my favorite too, but I like Marvin McQuitty too! He has a nice style

  • I was at the NAMM convention yesterday and I met all of them except for Gerald! They were really cool guys with great senses of humor.

  • Hey these cats are crazy and I am gonna be right behind them...Like I have heard Marvin before and I have never heard him like this...Thats for sure...Gerald, he has been my boy for life, that is who I usually tend to play like...As for Aaron, that boy just gets better and better...Teddy has always been crazy in everything he does...

  • u rock man

    omg you guys are the best me and my brother was watching drummers all day and u guys are the best. My brother is a drummer also you guys help him buy showing him great moves thankyou.

  • Aaron, Teddy, Gerald, Marvin......aaahhh we gotta write them up and expel them for being so bad.

  • I know lol you find yourself looking for them just to mess up just so u can hate like ha aaron spears ain't that great he dropped a stick in 2:40. It just never happens though and even if it does he still makes it look cool.

  • He dropped what??? Where did u see that? It certainly wasn´t on this video.

  • Reread the comment, I was saying he's so good you wish he would drop a stick just so you could point it out. But that would never happen.

  • My Damn!! Aaron was going at it!!!

  • Yeah he's underrated.

  • Check out gerald on that destiny's child dvd live in atlanta. And Marv on fred hammonds "speak those things" dvd. Good stuff!

  • These boyz all have watz called language! they are all beasts!

  • Tony Royster should have been there

  • Pft Tony Royster doesnt have any feel compared to these guys

  • This was truly drummer's paradise

  • 1st drummer is marvin macquitty

  • who is the first drummer?

  • I was kinda dissapointed in Geralds performance.....He lost the track on his own song....but you know what he,Teddy,Marvin and Aaron still crushed

  • nat townsley is the man! he's probably one of my favourite Gospel Drummers. Him and Aaron Spears ofcourse :)

  • Holy crap. Nat is amazing. I didn't know who he was, but thanks for the suggestion.

  • when you guys get a chance check out another gospel drummer by the name of nat townsley... and tell me what you think

  • Aaron <3

  • Aaron do the same rolls his did on the other shed Teddy is the man like them all

  • How many pounds did Aaron lose during that performance?

    Great DVD, btw.

  • HOT! HOT! HOT! They have a DVD? Sheeeshe I gotta get that.

  • teddy is the man

  • Jseus Christ rules...Marvin is my fav drummer int he world man!!!

  • all the drummer brought great stuff to the table. but my favorite is aaron

  • gotta get the dvd

  • off the hook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • that's a lota notes...

  • HEY This Video is about drummin.... write your messages privat dudes. Gerald and Teddy are my favourites because Aaron makes always the same fills and stuff and its not musically enough I think.

  • Just totally amazing... These are some anointed & gifted drummers to say the least...

  • that was awesome.. i know guys who play like that who arent religious at all... i firmly beleive that its possible to get that good without the help of our so called "god"

  • not true at all. we can't even breath without god. never mind playing drums without him. always thank god for the gifts he's given you...ALWAYS

  • i just shat a seafood gift in my new dungarees...thanks god, you're the best

  • be glad you did that and not puked in your sleep and died. glory to jesus.

  • well i give thanks to the creator for all of my gifts but not the same god as alot of people talk about...

  • what god do you pray to? other religions give jesus credit and jesus only credits himself. i'm gonna trust the one i know who'll get me to heaven.

  • well ill trust the one i know will get me to heaven. wichever one gets me there im willing to go with isnt it sad how selfish i am?

  • well jesus did say i am the way the truth and the life and no one can entire heaven except by me. again other religions give jesus credit. so even if you trust in jesus, according to those other religions, your still going to heaven. so why not just trust in jesus. he'll definately get you there. he was the only one that died for our sins.

  • i wouldnt want to be aaron spears' drumkit...or his stool

  • hahahahaa
