[WhatTheChr1st]

Brown haired kid is awesome to be fair

[Seffyr]

Benefits of being Christian include getting to play with and chill with Aaron Gillespie. Epicly awesome guy! Slaughtered his kit at Parachute Festival the other day.

[cat915253]

You don't know how to play together

[BigPlumpGuidos]

@cat915253 go play with yourself retard.

[organicSquirrels]

dudeee i am super jelous. i think you should change your name from avenged7xfan12 to igottoplaywithaarongillespie

[lizn1115]

SSWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTT!­!!!!

[cokebub3]

im speechless how good you are. aaron extremely good too!

[NotWhiteAlicia]

drummer version of Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny.

[BigPlumpGuidos]

You're awesome kid. So sick. Killer style.

[AlwaysImBored]

good shit!

[777oldspice]

Yo, that was so PRO. You're ridiculous for your age.

[iinshallowseas]

That little drummer boy knows how to play! :D

[JaviN226]

are you sure you werent teaching him? lol

[beibosan]

it was good but you were doing almost the same feels every time it was your turn, but other than that you were good

[RAMLID182]

Aaron ;)

[Aspencerlitdrive]

@TheDarkeJ Do you even know who that is?? Probably not since you're at least 50. LOL

[RSwallace777]

Your fill starting at 3:06 is sick nasty :)

[abercrombiemetalhead]

WOW

[DarcyJackScott]

do you know how lucky you are?

[Thecalebguy]

I would be trying so hard to impress Aaron

[TheDarkeJ]

WoW, I decided after turning 50 that I wanted to play drums, glad I did, this was inspirational, thanks for sharing! Both of you rocked!

[MusichookPro]

Haha tight!

[MeTaLMuLiShAx666x]

Chunkers, those cookies are good, eh bro?

[avenged7xfan12]

@MeTaLMuLiShAx666x

You know it MeTaLMuLiShAx666x!

[MeTaLMuLiShAx666x]

@avenged7xfan12 I likes teh cookies too brah

[tombaswine]

@avenged7xfan12 you are awesome how old are you

[tombaswine]

@MeTaLMuLiShAx666x please die

[BigPlumpGuidos]

@MeTaLMuLiShAx666x So because he's not a body builder he isn't talented? Btw who doesn't like cookies?

[MeTaLMuLiShAx666x]

@BigPlumpGuidos I don't recall saying he wasn't talented, you lack basic reading comprehension skills that most people would've learned in elementary school. You dumb bro?

[BigPlumpGuidos]

@MeTaLMuLiShAx666x I recall you making fun of how much he weighs aka you're trying to draw attention away from his talent. You jealous?

Trust me the only thing I lack is knowing where you are so I could dent you're fucking cheek bones in. Fucking faggot. You have a lot of courage behind a computer. Metalmulisha is fucking corny nobody gives a shit about emo chumps who ride dirt bikes.

[MeTaLMuLiShAx666x]

@BigPlumpGuidos I never drew away attention from his talent, I just commented on his weight..and your*** not you're....fucking retard

[BigPlumpGuidos]

@MeTaLMuLiShAx666x People who correct typos are extremely bitter. In your case, this is not hard to tell. You find little things about other people in order to try to make you feel better about yourself. This happens on the internet out of all places too, sad. Grow up. Get some friends, stop worshiping the devil, maybe pick up an instrument like this kid and put your life to good use. Hating on people will only leave you sad and lonely. Consider this good free advice you fucking bonehead.

[MeTaLMuLiShAx666x]

@BigPlumpGuidos Your first mistake was that you assumed I don't play an instrument. I will saxophone you up any day bro. Come at me. 2nd mistake, you assume I care about anything you are typing...Get bent

[BigPlumpGuidos]

@MeTaLMuLiShAx666x My 3rd mistake. Arguing with a 10 year old girl who plays saxophone. Wow. Come at you? Get bent? People don't say that shit anymore..bro. You fucking crying?

[MeTaLMuLiShAx666x]

@BigPlumpGuidos I actually am 10..Nah I'm not crying, I actually physically can't cry because my tear ducts are blocked..The tears go into the back of my nasal passage..Lol..mad?

[Deedeedee12321]

are you a boy or girl?

[asecretninja]

Aaron isn't really all that good. It's mainly just those fast drum rolls, and anyone can do that.

[dmack1864]

@asecretninja no anyone cannot do fast drum rolls it takes proper technique and a lot of people out here use their wrist and arms and not their fingers

[paperpro3223]

@asecretninja I agree

[asecretninja]

@paperpro3223 Yeah, but he said it himself that he would say his style of drumming is chaotic, sloppy and hard hitting. He is a good drummer no doubt, but I just think he could do so much more if he didn't put all of his energy into one snare hit haha.

[krisk8er090]

LUCKY!

[ryanoathpradaforce]

hey, i know that right cymbal is a meinl byzance. but do you know what size it is? and i'm pretty sure it's a ride, right?

[avenged7xfan12]

@ryanoathpradaforce

You are correct, and yes its a 24" medium ride

[Amplified871]

This kid is going to be part of an amazing band just look at him now!

[Drummaboi941]

this slowly turned into a battle. lol.

[AskMitchJackson]

@scott111193 Not really, bro.

[scott111193]

@AskMitchJackson Thanks, but not convinced. Think what you like.

[jackransell]

@scott111193 wrong, i'm worse haha i started 3 weeks ago

[scott111193]

@jackransell Yeah you might be, but this guy's rich and famous. I don't really give a shit, but he's a bad influence.

[jackransell]

@scott111193 how's he a bad influence?

[scott111193]

@jackransell Well you wouldn't know, you've only been playing for 3 weeks.

[handidrummed]

@jackransell His technique is horrible. Any drummer who plays as stiffly as he does with a death clamp on the sticks and basically using their arms without utilizing their wrists and fingers is going to develop carpal tunnel and other injuries as they get older.

[jackransell]

@handidrummed the kid or aaron?

[jacobdrummer123]

@handidrummed if your takling about aaron he doesnt need technique lol he can do what he wants

[jackransell]

@scott111193 wrong, i'm worse haha i started 3 weeks ago

[ryanoathpradaforce]

@scott111193 hahahahahahahahaha, if you're talking about aaron, you're really stupid.

[scott111193]

@ryanoathpradaforce I did say in my comment, don't give me shit. Obviously you won't agree with me, i can tell from your playing lol. Watch proper drummers.

[ryanoathpradaforce]

@scott111193 oh, didnt see you had a "disclaimer." my bad. >_>

and this isn't even me playing. let's see you play any song better than aaron. let's go.

[scott111193]

@ryanoathpradaforce I know this isn't you playing, i can view your channel, keep up. Let's go what?

[ryanoathpradaforce]

@scott111193 i realized that after i sent it. what are you saying about my playing? and nevermind. haha.

[mmx1465]

@ryanoathpradaforce Haha, he's right though. He's the one that needs the lesson if you ask me.

[ryanoathpradaforce]

@mmx1465 haha who is?

[superclaydude]

@scott111193 You obviously haven't heard Aaron's drumming in Underoath or even in The Almost (he recorded all of the instruments and vocals on The Almost's first album, Southern Weather).

[scott111193]

@superclaydude Yes i have. He sucks. Sorry about that. :)

[WierdElla]

teach me the way of the drums oh mighty king of gingers!

[bphinn00386]

I like the ginger soul comment. My wife is a ginger but I love her. :-/

[FJordn0TM]

Yeah, I'm jelly.

[limeydrum]

Man what are you actually IN in this video? Some kinda soundproofed room?

[Armistotle]

Dude, you got some skills. How the hell did you get a lesson with Aaron?

[Neohippyy]

I think Aaron tried everything to distract you ;)

[MrNomNomNom32]

Aaron is the only ginger with a soul.

[threelivesleftband]

@MrNomNomNom32 gingers dont have souls thing gets pretty annoying. me being a ginger and all.

[MsScorpion452]

@threelivesleftband Agreed. -.-

[crazyinsanechicks]

@threelivesleftband I don't get the whole "Gingers don't have souls" thing. I see a reference to it under almost every Aaron Gillespie vid I watch, lol

[crazyinsanechicks]

@crazyinsanechicks oh, South Park. Of course. Nevermind.

[MrBrianx21]

@MrNomNomNom32

Add Shaun White to that list. He's the flying tomato! :P

[uurath23]

@MrNomNomNom32 have you forgotten jonny craig?

[illboy6]

@uurath23 lol jonny craig blows

[andydoode]

were you playing on his kit?

[joyannxoxo]

uhm i want lessons from him!

[suartful]

@joyannxoxo me too lml

[johnhimura1000]

how much do you pay for aaron to teach you drumming? 100$? that shit for real?

[john777t]

what kind of set is aaron using?

[EpiphoneLPJrGuitar]

awesome!

[ANTHONY11794]

You should try to get Chris Coleman to teach you...That'd be some crazy amazing stuff :D

[xAGBx137]

That kid is going to be amazing if he keeps drumming.

[ivanhel]

Cool, i like that groove u gonna try to learn :D

[krytoxic122]

Whooooo! Yeeeeah!

[ChapmanMartin]

it turned into a competition not a lesson hahaha

[DaltonDisciple]

kids good for sureee

[TheMatadrum]

You guys were wearing plugs right? aha

[LexBravary]

Don't get me wrong, I really like Aaron, alot, but this is like teaching someone to read without a book. If you want lessons go to someone who has studied music, not just played it.

[FuckinMetal3694]

That ginger is so annoying sit the fuck down .u can't play stop teaching lessons carrot top

[DrPepperOrPibb]

@FuckinMetal3694 u mad bro?

[FuckinMetal3694]

@DrPepperOrPibb im "mad" XD thts why im laughing at carrot top over here bro

[dmarabella13]

@FuckinMetal3694 man honestly, not trying to start a fight here, but lets see you put up a video of you whaling like aaron does, i guarantee aaron is better in every aspect of drumming, aaron is such a great drummer dude, regardless of whether you like him or not, and whether you agree with him being self taught or not, he is a great drummer and you have to give him credit for that.

[ThaTruth223]

Bad ass kid

[olala398]

I am a Gillespie Fan, but he aint all that great as a drummer, you can tell hes self taught, the kid, technique wise, is actually alot better than him.

[Patrickdrums6732]

The kid's actually pretty fucking good

[TheMakeULaugh]

woah! thats bomb!! cant believe he tought you! you must be amazing! what an honor

[andrewcopeowns]

do you by any chance know what cymbals he is using? (hi-hats, crash, and his ride?)

[Justins150]

@andrewcopeowns he uses 14" meinl byzance dark hats and he uses 21" and 22" byzance traditional medium crashes doesn't look like his ride is in here but the ride he uses is a 24" byzance traditional medium ride

[andrewcopeowns]

@Justins150 thank ya! was just confirming cause i saw that he had those cymbals on a meinl website just makin sure :)

[Justins150]

@andrewcopeowns no problem :)

[cradie1]

you jammed wit him once? lol that dont equal and apprenticship hahahaha Ameture next to a legend

[joecool1890]

lol, little man's got way more chops than this tool

[dkrr24]

@BenjaminNguyenjamin Aaron has dedicated his life to music, but you also have to take into consieration that he is not "trying to keep himself alive" he has sold thousands and thousands of albums, has sponsorships, he's living a decent life. And most drum teachers usually charge $25 a a half hour, so he is overcharging regardless. But he's a cool guy besides that point.

[thekingskid13]

That would be so cool to have him as a drum teacher

[OathImUnder]

What size snare was thta?

[avenged7xfan12]

@OathImUnder

Im pretty sure the gold one is an 8 x 14 and the other one is either 7x 14 or 8 x 14

[JeserNoob]

Hey what beat is this? i read somewhere on this video that it was from another band.

[JoeMyspace13]

You say the kid is better than him, hmmm. How do you know Aaron didn't teach him what he knows?

[Optimusprime4211]

Aaron is a great guy. This is awesome that he would do this. The kid had to be on the top of the world. Chillin and jammin with Aaron!!

[starstuckedzzxz]

Im just gonna like this video cause Aaaron is in t.

[DeathcoreRikk]

i like how that kid is trying so hard to look like Aaron Gillespie.....but is better then him at drumming lol

[jacobsotiris1]

he's not a good teacher at all.... that kid clearly cant play the beat yet, and instead of helping him through he's like, 'its fine, you play something and i'll fill over it'........

[jacobsotiris1]

@jacobsotiris1 i take that back, the kids better than him!

he should be paying that kid too teach him!

[xXtreeeatsmanXx]

What heads are Aaron using in these video on hit kit? Remo what?

[avenged7xfan12]

@xXtreeeatsmanXx

Remo Emporers. I'd say get evans coated g2's. Much better heads, great for the toms.

[andrewcopeowns]

@avenged7xfan12 you reccomend Evans Coated G2's for batter right?? and what for reso??

[avenged7xfan12]

@andrewcopeowns

Yes, coated g2'sfor batter and i like clear g1's for resonant.

[TheMatadrum]

@avenged7xfan12 You hae a good taste in heads. haha

What kit do you use?

[johs12345]

Man, you are awesome!!!! Keep practicing and you'll be even better :)

[garwoodehs08]

no offense kid, but get good at the basics before flying through fills.

[TheMoek1]

I would be too amazed by his presence to drum x)

[redshirt905]

The student is actually really good! keep up the good work man!

[NatalieUNDEROATH]

Um, I would absolutely crap myself if I got a lesson from him. I've been playing for a year, and I would be shaking too much to actually practice xD

[TheHollyWarrior1]

God given talent! Praise the Lord!

[guto418]

This Kid Play Fucking good,if you agree,thumb up!

[ryhad155]

Aaron is one of the most passionate drummers I have ever seen. You can just tell he loves every second that he is playing drums.

[drumbumbaybay]

you lucky perrrsssonnnnnnnnnn!!!

[diegojote]

how much did you pay for the class :) ?

[NathannRamirez]

That sounded dope. :)

[superchanneljim]

Good stuff kid!

[xyxCHRISTIANxyx]

thats a badass jam lol

[shanekerchen]

Do you remember the cymbal specs you and aaron used?

[dtyson777]

hey man, how is that snare tuned that you're playing? what kind of head and how tight is it?

[avenged7xfan12]

@dtyson777

I think the bottom was tuned very tight and the top head was tuned in the middle, a little looser than most snared are tuned, and it was an evans ec reverse dot snare head. I have that head, it lasts very long and i love it.

[dtyson777]

@avenged7xfan12 thanks for responding bro. Im trying to find the right sound for my snare and this helped.

[KirkyDaTurkey]

Aaron comes up with the strangest grooves haha so legit

[laughinglaura1]

i met aaron recently... you're right he's SUPER nice. :) and crazy good at drums. haha i LOVE watching him play! you're talented, too!

[JeserNoob]

What song is this?

the first beat...

[soundguyj]

Holy crap dude how old are you here? Awesome fills!

[batmandood89]

I've gotten to hang out with Aaron at a free Almost they had at Toms farm, I went over to talk to him and he came over to our booth and we just chatted for a awhile, it was crazy bcuz for years I wanted to meet him, then one day I was hanging with him talking about sushi and how he's allergic to bees.

[lautaropelotudo]

wwwaaaaawww you play with aaron.... mm y hate you xD

[thecomfortisnow]

i woul die just to meet him.... :D

[TheDeftonesGuy08]

omg u guys drum fast...

[jfor5]

howed you get drum lessons from Aaron ?!?!

[avenged7xfan12]

@jfor5

he did lessons for a while in tampa.

[musicfanchic812]

I think that kid just owend Aaron.

[poopyd321]

Luckiest kid alive! LOL Aaron Gilespie is the reason i started playing drums when i was about 14. i'm twenty now, he needs to start a second band. him singing, playing drums, guitar, hell, keyboard. lol He'd make it sounds good.

[antboy151017]

That kid does excellent fills

[shanerd699]

why was he teaching you

[jorgman33]

nooo mamees con aaron gillespie????

[CEDWARDS04]

as you do just a casual drum session with aaron, jealous

[lumpyandbump1]

i think you owned him

[AlexPattersonn]

@lumpyandbump1 I think he did, too. Lol.

[TheMuzikNerdz]

at first i was like: "awww wook at the liddo kid about to try a wittle beat!"

then i saw him do the solo's and i was like: "HOLY FUCK!"
