Hey man awesome stuff :D was wondering how you got to become a session musician for such a great guy? I'm interested in doing session playing as a drummer for the future career but have no clue how to do it? I do jazz bands and orchestras and everything but would totally love to be doing stuff like this :) Thanks :D and keep up the good work :)

@AaronSpears Hey man, what stickes are you using here? By the way, I think you're the best drummer out there, and your my idol :D keep it up dude :))))

[artexflow]

Ok Aaron so now tell me how and why should I keep learning drums ?

It's amazing, really. Hope one day I'll meet you, and maybe you would teach me some of your great fills.

[NotATubeSurfer]

Seems like he's rushing a little in this performance.

[DRUUMMERDJ]

Aaron this is why you will always be my favorite drummer. You play what the song calls for and I bet Usher appreciates that
