Usher - Aaron Spears Caught Up

[TheDuskVoid]

@jimitheater

Jep i know but why… do some people worship travis barker…

[lalomalo]

travis vs this?...no way, faaaar to advance for travis

[Godserver100]

WOW



[WARLOCK70]

PHENOMENAL!! B sure to check out my unique playing as well. Thanx.

[colenbrak]

is it just me or does he seem really off beat whenever he goes on an insane break?

[jordynxxelizabeth]

@colenbrak yes and no. His fills are in different time signatures. It wouldn't be musically correct if he didnt catch right back up smoothly with the original beat, but he somehow does

[3Webdesign]

travis barker is better than that he's so fast!!!!

[christraven]

@3Webdesign Yes, because speed means everything in drumming. Idiot.

[TheDuskVoid]

@Zhinger51 Yeah i guess you're totally right but someone made a comment on this vid that aaron spears himself said "I have a long way to go if i wanna be as good as travis barker or something similar…

[coco131711]

Amazing !!! :)

[srdiogotorres]

this is best video of youtubee!

[guitaristxxx]

Tony Royster or Aaron Spears? lol

[mammammamam]

@guitaristxxx good question. both do some licks that are so obnoxiously good that you have to ask yourself; did he realy just do that?haha

[wicaksono27]

Hollyy SH*****TTT!!!

[foamysqueak11]

Usher came his pants and started farting

[marsbar951]

Love the way he carries on as if nothing happened when his hi-hat falls over , CLASS ....

[GrindMasterElite]

This song sucks major ass but Aaron is a hell of a drummer!

[blackman850]

NO mercy towards thoose drums what so ever

[abmsoldier]

yo drummers colleags can some one tell me where i can find the track caught up without the drums so i can fix my version inspried by the one and only aaron spears? help me out thx and if you know also the omg of usher

[ldb109]

@abmsoldier Start playing for Usher and I'm sure he'll let you have one. =P

[abmsoldier]

aaron is the best i was at this concert in holland from usher like a month ago 1st march 2011. that was the very first time i saw him play and the first time i heard of him. and it was mind blowin:):):) since than i was checkin him out on youtube and buyd his dvd beyond the chops but still didnt arrived . aaron is my favorite drummer of these days and also of the future. i like his timing. his dynamics. and most of them all the attack of the tamato killing fils:P i love this guy. rutger genser

[ridzirocks]

That snare sounds tasty!!

[maplecustom]

anyone know the sticking at 3:09 ????

[abmsoldier]

@maplecustom i think its the the tripple trick that he explain in the hudson music video like i love you  tripple left right kick right left kick dont know for sure but it sounds like it

[dbdrumsart3]

Got my attention, I'd listen to more! Just change the groove a bit, it's like a continual, but slamm'n just the same.

[borisisthemusic]

where can I get this minus drums?

[TheKoreanX]

@borisisthemusic It's Caught Up by Usher...

[borisisthemusic]

@TheKoreanX I know. but THIS version is different. I want THIS one!

[TheKoreanX]

@borisisthemusic It's basically the same... The percussion in the studio version isn't that intricate anyways

[asdf072xxp]

I would HATE being his drum tech. I'll bet he needs new heads every time he plays.

[diegochangos]

Brand? Size? Inches? Cymbals? Tuning? ...of Aaron Spears' drum set?

[Emperor961]

@diegochangos DW Set, Zildjian Cymbals. That's all I know.

[pako18drum]

damn china, it sounds beautiful.



[FirebirdDrummer]

very jelly to hear that! wish i could meet him! im from sydney australia and these guys are the BOMB

[Oli4drums]

I met him today! He's such a nice guy and a fantastic drummer! :D

[LilTeashadizzle]

@Denominator9411 yh the higher the numba the liter it is :)

[BrixIlBarbone]

GREAT!

[mhbass]

aw mane! that's what i'm talkin bout. Skeeter gave a shout out to Aaron Spears, and see why.........give the drummer some.....

[drummerbloke]

Awesome...you know where ONE is Aaron. Hope I get to meet you at Drumtek in Melbourne!

[elnegry2008]

[nznx]

158 people suffer from deaf ears, and all they can do is see a mass of fat moving around... Damn he's fucking amazing!

[TheDirplay]

grooove ^^

[toddmonster]

his muscle memory database is stored in his adipose tissue

[pkei89]

WOW



[TheDuskVoid]

Man, this guy sure is better then travis barker…

[gdrum121]

@TheDuskVoid 10000 YEARS AHEAD

[skerskies]

@TheDuskVoid but he's more fat!

[farmtownrecords]

@TheDuskVoid alot of people are better than travis barker...lol. the way i see it is that travis likes to give a good show by moving his arms around alot. other drummers like this one^^^^ actually focus on the sound and rythm

[Zhinger51]

@TheDuskVoid Man Travis Barker has nothing on this guy or any other gospel guy. But I do like Travis Barker, he's a good drummer, but compared to guys in, say Gospel Chops, or anyone who is into prog, it's hard to compare.

[Magic20090]

Y did it just say dislike AARON is better then travis in some songs..

[jimitheater]

@TheDuskVoid thousands of drummer are way better than travis barker!!! he is not only better he is miles better!!

[channygreen]

158 hating idiots!

[77flopo77]

@channygreen That isn´t an excuse but it could be of the bad quality of the video. ;)

[mud80t]

I was at the Usher gig in Newcastle last night, and as i drummer my self, i've got to say i watched Aaron as much as i watched Usher!!! What an amazing work rate this man has, and just an amazing ear for perfect fills... Much love Aaron...hope your enjoying Australia!!!

[drgnrdr747]

he is a BEAST

[babyqueencity]

does anyone know the song or beat he starts playing at 3:40

[caabmusic]

he's soo amazing!!

[2MuchYellow]

He's a badass!

[DJTmaq]

This is awesome!!

[xHamiltonHeightsX]

157 people are absolutly retarded haha

[fullall]

he really moves alot

[troutmask1970]

phenom....

[Spider96105]

I to mi sie podoba : )

[Didumdidaj]

You are a great drummer, you have 100 % the right rythmic feeling. Great fills and great to hear a drummer creating a new style and make it you own. For me this is real drumming ! weckl could learn a few rythmic lessons here :-)

[MySoulDecays]

*picks up my jaw*

Damn he literally did kill it

[daverj21]

monstro da bateria

[funkfanNo1]

Man, what a groove. Love the gospel chops! Great pocket too. Mr Spears, god bless you for 2.39 of worthwhile time!

[xotankox]

I just dont see it?!? doesn't seem to work with the song. Must be just me.

[x9x9x9x9x9]

Derek Roddy

[devinsiegel7]

OMG! So intense! Hi hat destruction!

[delilad75]

Wow....power and precision - some of those fills are really different - fantastic!!

[aceofspad3s23]

dam quit comparin different genre drummers. it aint finna wrk. i kno fa dam sho travis aint bustn nun of thm fills by aaron. bt i dnt see aaron on a double kick eitha. so u cant compare thm. they two different drummers in two completely different styles of music. dam

[bucoslo]

travis is shit drummer imo, no feelings he hits the cymbals like a fucking madman...wtf hes bad

[julianisdope]

@bucoslo we get it.

[rijnmarmusic]

aaron would even own travis if he'd tie up a stick to his dick and play drums..

[VideosbySteve]

If current r&b music used good drummers like this guy Id listen to it much more than i do now, which is almost zero. 

[BigJ0]

@VideosbySteve jay z needs to let Royster off the leash, seriously

[jase08drums]

Favorite*

[JustinJaybrown]

i think the 32k was form me watching this every few weeks lol jk

[howsan01]

Thats a mad drumming man hell yeah

[kotsios16boom]

hahaha at the end the hi-had fall down :P

[arturbastos18]

i taught him well

[yungwarren18]

aaron spears clearly has da best "Caught Up" drum cover, everybody else dat has made one has been good but he is da only person out of every video dat keeps his timing thru out da whole song, and he kept da groove and has explosive hands

[spritedblue]

i was raping the replay button..

the drums was getting raped in the video.. but the drums liked it.

[Forsythe0]

C'mon, this is great groove!

Who gives a shit if someone else can play better than this? Is there a drumming tournament going on in youtube? What does the winner get - annoying cokcscukers praising the drummer on his youtube videos?

[HeavyG789]

Who knew Kenan Thompson played drums...

[MrA2kx]

o som du kra é manero..... mas naum pega drums do slipknot..

[HotStuffElmo]

This is really good. I like it.

[fizz9119]

155 people can't play the drums

[BabexayKelsieej167]

you should make a movie, Im new girl in your class.Would you like to give me private lessons

[IPstixrawesume]

This is why I don't like being white. Because I'll never be THAT good at grooving.

[punk9999643]

@IPstixrawesume Matt Halpern. Nuff said. Grooves as well, if not BETTER than spears, and rocks the hell out of a 3 or 4 piece set.

[Vrabe86]

@IPstixrawesume You'll never be that good anyway.... -_-

[IPstixrawesume]

@Vrabe86 Where's your creditability to say that? I see no epic drum videos of your own.

Troll...

[torelk]

@IPstixrawesume i dont wanna be racist but so true... :))

[frantiskan]

@IPstixrawesume

Amen.

[tritenia123]

@IPstixrawesume LOL as funny as that is, Determination knows no skin color. :)

[chop9suey]

@IPstixrawesume Haha! I am a black drummer and granted we do have a certain kind of groove, you can still kill it bro. Don't doubt yourself.

[scarlettarnel]

@IPstixrawesume what are you talking about? Dave Weckyl? Steve Gadd? some of the greatest groovers =D

[ImaFez]

@scarlettarnel steve gadd is part black, idk about dave weckl.

[crazydrummertcir]

@IPstixrawesume dude you don't have to be black to groove. believe me i know. I play with a black bass player and a black pianist. trust me. we sound awesome when we groove. Aaron good job bro. I am maybe the whitest guy you have ever seen lol.

[LilTeashadizzle]

@IPstixrawesume LOL!! Arwwwwwwww dont worry you'll just need feel the rhythm of the song and you'll then get the hang out it :)

[AdamSiren]

@IPstixrawesume i know... fuck my life!!

[MrRaymond10]

@IPstixrawesume we blacks have a different blood than you.

[elnegry2008]

@MrRaymond10 word.

[ncos7a]

@IPstixrawesume Two words: David Garibaldi. Color has nothing to do with it.

[PoeticJustice05]

@IPstixrawesume BENNY GREB. And he's German! But he's white and can groove like a muda.

[ProGoyo24]

love that cymbal that sounds like someone whispering "ha"

[IPstixrawesume]

@ProGoyo24 is that the mini china?

[stoopkidrumm3r]

daaaamn... never seen aaron Spears play before, I am now a fan

[TheEncine]

he doesn't play that hard stuff but be able to play those stuff powerfull , yep thats hard ..

[ThiagoO221]

esse cara é de mais !!!!!  OoOoOoOoO elle é um dois melhores do mundo

[garyloteria]

Oh no... 

[JHeke]

The meanest use of two hihats!

[Killenmachine05]

man ive got to know someone please respond, whats he got in that stack?

[slowblood99]

He makes me like this song

[MrJubus]

Why does it matter who's better out of Travis Barker or Aaron Spears, or any drummer for that matter? Drumming is drumming, regardless of who's playing, good or bad, drumming is awesome.

[AaronSpears]

I'm a huge fan of Travis Barker...We were on the cover of Batterie Magazine together this month...Not sure if any of you all have had the pleasure of meeting him before but he a really really good guy...Anyway...Thanks for the views and for the comments...(good & bad) Peace...

[delilad75]

@AaronSpears Well said...any musician who sells millions of records deserves the upmost respect!!

[Synetik4]

@AaronSpears I love this video Aaron! i sort of stole your SIde snare as a high tom idea haha. my kit is pretty similar to yours, you should check it out :)

[lordvanthom]

@AaronSpears i think you are even better than Travis ;)

But Travis is awesome too. !

[raiders1815]

@AaronSpears r u actually aaron spears?

[AaronSpears]

@raiders1815 Yes I am...I have been me all my life...

[jamesdancer73]

@AaronSpears why?

[datdrumaboy]

@AaronSpears You and Travis are talented drummers bro. I watch both of y'all.

[sirsmellalot123]

HAHA I went to the Usher concert in Brussels last night and this guy was playing the drums :O

[ptm012]

does anyone know what kind of china he's playing

[MitchellRisTheBest]

that's right high hat,

get the fuck out of the way,

i'm playing here

[GuilhermeGMusic]

Travis Barker? What the hell? Travis is not that good, actually, Aarons Spears is way better.

[aNNt0yyy]

huh, wow!

[PureCreativeDesigns]

hes so good that at 4:25 the hi hat is trying to suck his dick, woow! 0_o

[daNIGUHtoast]

i love how he's fat...

or should i say PHAT?

[harpapmac]

veeeeeery nice!!!

[jmcclintockIII]

This dude is definately gifted.

[aerospacer1]

Dis dude is in the pocket!!

@Edwardo1993.. you're an ignorant fool who aint got the chops it takes to dis it out.

[Edwardo1993]

All of these gospel chops drummers really don't impress me for some reason. I've been playing drums for over 7 years and i really appreciate the music and the concept behind it aswell as the concept of playing drums. But in terms of technical ability gospel chops drummers only have the ability to play extremely fast (while hitting the drums as hard as possible) they definately have groove but there are many others who can do this stuff without looking impressive by hitting hard

[MEINLdrumjoc52]

@Edwardo1993 usually, gospel drummers have this ability to add so many more effects to their music, than most drummers, and they also possess this great skill of soloing withing a groove and still coming back in on time and an appropriate phrase.

[RedCl0ud22]

@Edwardo1993 Well I don't know what you've learned playing drums for the past 7 years, but there definitely aren't "many others" who can do this type stuff, and these kind of super difficult, creative fills.

[LLThenu]

@Edwardo1993 if he were white, then you would applaud this stuff. Nearly anyone can read between the lines.

I see these type of negative comments a lot. Also on other non western musicians, ie. classical guitarist like Li jie. "To much power", "To robotic" " No emotion". Time spent on complaining can be spent on practice. That's what they do.

[SilentBombr]

Aaron subscribed to me on Youtube woohoo

[charlesk1231]

why do ppl hate travis barker.... listen he is talented... maybe not da best drummer but he is also a producer... hes just like the drum version of lil wayne .. jus like weezy ppl hate him all day long.. because they believe there not talented enough.. but they still get the most commercial oppotunities ppl better than them dont get... travis barker isnt jus a drummer ..he is a songwriter and producer .. that puts his heart into music.. who are you to judge ??

[Chrl71]

He's HUGE! =D Also in drumming! =D

[ncavoto96]

Now that is an internal clock!

[ssgonewild]

how does he not lose weight from playing that hard?

[TheOpenHanded]

The mans an animal!!!!!

[bigrawbio]

Whomever dislikes this is a just a jealous hater because this is just incredible. 

[masstsnk]

How many of you can do an amazing drum fill while pushing the hi hat back!? 4:28

[ceddy5000]

does anyone know what type of china that is?? it sounds great

[remmurd97]

@ceddy5000

duno dude but it sounds like a stack probs a china on a splash or something

[ceddy5000]

@remmurd97 alrite thanks..cant wait til i get my china so i can stack.! :)

[06aioros]

@ceddy5000 Zildjian Oriental Trash 15 inch. Gotta be tight for the sound it makes.

[ceddy5000]

@06aioros

ahhh thanks soo much!!

[trumpet6230]

Dave Weckl. Still the best!!!

[drumprinc15]

beast .... lololz thats what i wanna kno

[spritedblue]

WHO IS TRAVIS BARKER NOW??!!!?!?!

[he11bound]

that was phat! no BIG PUN intended.

[ritalinrush]

WY WASNT I BORN BLACK :(

[srecar6]

@ritalinrush black aint got nothing to do with, just dont listen to rock music, thats all lol

[ritalinrush]

@srecar6 what wrong with rock.......some of the best drummers are rock drummers but my favoret ones are ones like this guy tomas lang tomas pridjin<<<<sorry for spelling that wrong and also tony royster jr. im all rock at heart but im really trying to get some dieversity

[srecar6]

@ritalinrush dont get me wrong, i like rock too, but you must understand the way we play now originates from a jazz, funk, soul, and r&b........so if your looking to be a better drummer diversify your music genre and learn! #thatisall

[ritalinrush]

@srecar6 those words of yours will be stroungly noted in my book man :)

[Callumseven]

4:10 does he not look badass when he hits the crash there?

[Stratocast83]

4:29 nice save

[MegaJman50]

dat boy bad

[KcoGonzalez]

MAD FAT SKILLZ YO!

[Daveisle1]

wow...



[MrDirtysticks]

I have watched this like 20 times and it is still Beastly and smooth at the same time!

[budddy8me]

everybody is making a fuss about tony royster but guys like are aaron are as good as tony maybe even better this guy can do a 17 stroke roll in a quater beat thats fast

tony cant eveen do that

[Pearldrummer54]

@budddy8me i can also do that,,, The real question is whats the bpm?

[mtcameron3]

Can we have a drumming related video without the mention of Travis Barker? He really isn't that talented, I promise.

[AshSnook]

@mtcameron3 i do have to disagree. yes, it is boring. all the comments on travis barker can get tedius, but he is talented. very talented.you just dont like it cause people are writing comments on him all the time.
