Aaron Gillespie of Underoath - live in Nashville VIII

underoath / gillespie in nashville

[@_AYAX_]

Only drummers can understand how impossible this is. The amount of energy and cardio Aaron must have to hit the drums that hard... for that long ... song after song... concert after concert is quite astonishing. All that and he’s still singing... like wtf. Incredible. He has an off tempo signature style that no other drummer has matched. He is truly a legendary drummer. Mad respect.

[@tannertravis4455]

I heard him on a podcast recently, can't remember which one, say he burns over 2,000 calories during a show.

[@AndyAngelZ]

Aaron is probably the only hardcore drummer that can manage to play AMAZING on drums and SING at the same time. now that... requires some epic skillz

[@jpeace2871]

The cat from From Autumn to Ashes is pretty good at it as well

[@johnmarkvencerjao1717]

Never gets old...

[@andyb616]

this guy is one of my fav drummers of all time :D the passion he puts in and energy is just inspiring :D

[@anonymousamerican8831]

He is a monster on drums. One of my favorite drummers of all time!!

[@XxMetalRulesAllXx]

The thing is everyone thinks Aaron doesn't know how to play drums because he puts so much power behind his hits that it doesn't seem like he has any technique but I've seen him play and when he's not hitting hard he has so much. Why I also love him is because he has so much enthusiasm and passion about what he does. I wish luck to both The Almost and Underoath!

[@213SEMPERFI]

This is just BEAUTIFUL! God is Good!

[@itaibragacastillo5999]

Aaron es increible, mi baterista favorito, i love him

[@MrLumbee09]

He is completely rocking out on the drums... AND SINGING! He is by far my favorite drummer and probably the #1 reason I like Underoath. Soooo much respect for Aaron.

[@reynandoorlanteso5494]

Every drummer has their own uniqueness.. own styles.. own techniques.. its all about passion to music.. and Underoath, is not just about the members, its about the music.. Underoath will always be Underoath.

[@therevjo]

This guy is so tight. he is one of my favorite drummers and he puts a lot of energy when he plays... that's cool.

[@omgparamorelove]

dude! aaron is such a beast on the drums!

[@onyxdarky]

he's awesome! even though he's half blind she is one of the best drummers of our generation!♥

[@datsikkid_]

This was straight murder

[@drummerBMTH]

The thing that makes him such a beast is that he sings while drumming. Seriously, has anyone here ever tried that? He's a great drummer.

[@fooshfoosh]

so much fucking energy. this gets me so pumped!

[@guitaraddict42]

9 people had seizures from aarons amazingness and tried to fulfill their last wish of clicking on the like button but sadly did not make it all the way

[@NiallATS]

His passion for drums is amazing

[@fooshfoosh]

My drumming inspiration. He has the most energy I have EVER seen in a drummer.

[@nickhudson9379]

Man what a fucking talented individual

[@DRUMer2412]

Lol, he literally looks like he's attacking his drum set. I love it!

[@cjgarza89]

i have to have watched this at least two thousand times.

[@sambriggs93]

holy fuck. aaron gillespie what an inspiration. hes way to good. so much feel.

[@UnderoathStuff]

I love Underoath so much

[@baconbits828]

I used too. That's one of the reasons I love and respect him. :)

[@drummer77756]

i play this song everyday on the drums....why cause it's underoath!!!

[@EdgarsVilums]

I love his playing style!!!! his is the best !!!

[@JennaLynn]

i love you aaron! holy crap

[@andycorll]

his rudiments are absolutely flawless and he keeps such precise timing. you can not ask anything more of anyone while performing. not to mention his voice and the expression that comes along with it. its truly too bad he gave it up for something so petty as to be a "frontman" but the truth is aaron spreads the good news of christ in every way he possibly can and please do not forget he is truly blessed in every way so his work comes easily. goodnight yall.

[@poconodrumz]

Aaron is one of my idols But is a Heavily underrated drummer

[@drummerx941]

this dude plays with so much heart. its amazing. this band just isnt the same without him.

[@pizzagrenade]

Best fucking Drummer of all time!!! NO ONE IS BETTER THAN AARON GILLESPIE!!!

[@1M4verick]

WOW!!!! SO much energy!!!

[@NlickGray95]

this song never gets old

[@letmethinkaboutitk]

Ah yes homicide via drum. Thank you Aaron, I never wanted these eardrums anyway.

[@CL-xp4ee]

Break down is incredible!

[@rjdrums26]

i love the sound of that snare!

[@maidenless_tarnished]

Aaron Gillespie IS musical genius. For this band and The Almost, he's insanely talented.

[@cjgarza89]

impressive polyrythmic fills. amazing triplets. crashes on two and three rather than one. impecable technique. extreame showmanship. Aaron=inspriration

[@superkittyforce10]

AARON IS LIFE. BEST.DRUMMER.ALIVE.

[@Yzeencmyziews]

Aaron Can Play His Aggression Is Awesome It Takes Aggression like that to actually play some drums but when you have people that hate on the up rise of people's talent they're always gonna be mad cause they don't have what he has but Great job to aaron and I pray he keeps on doing the great work of his and spreading the word of Our lord and Savior through different Genre's of music

[@ChristinaRedd]

I love His floor tom rolls so much!

[@AndyKoons]

He's one of my favorite drummers of all times, I mean he's no Buddy Rich, but you can always tell when Aaron's behind the kit

[@btkrick]

This guy is amaZing. He and Seth hostetter are just flat out awesome.

[@cpichette1]

dudes a beast. period.

[@zackman86]

I saw that Aaron his sidekick/drummer from the almost was in an article in the December issue of DRUM! Magazine

[@nexusvision10]

3:22 - 3:25. Chills. With the strobes and that drum fill, it's just awe inspiring.

[@Iceboy575655]

The reason I said Travis barker was because Blink 182 was actually the first band i got into when I was younger so I always admired his style and I saw them live and he's amazing. But yeah I've heard of Matt Greiner, and Parkway drive is great too.

[@ApacheScalper]

@DeadSpeakerBAJ i agree. another point is aaron doesnt use double kick pedals to the max like daniel does. aaron uses them like once out of 10 songs. aaron does repeat his stuff but they're just for a sec when he does it and daniel's repeating is more recognizable. they both have way different styles, but they're both amazing.

[@moosicninja09]

Man.. those cymbals are are amazing.... I wish i could get an endorsement from Meinl. :\ eventually, i hope..

[@jeffxisbell]

his kit always sounds so flawless.

[@underlinethesky]

ohhh he's so good =[ like unfairly good haha =D! i love the way the camera shakes when he hits his kick LOL! xx

[@evansmcr]

I love him *.*

[@sirnotty]

fuck this guy is good man i wish he never left, and hes so poweful what a beast

[@Mrbucbyc]

probrobly one of the most accurate drummers i have seen.

[@94fonze]

They were fighting because he wanted to take the next record in different direction and didn't wna argue with the band anymore. They respected him for that decision and he respects theirs.

[@mathiaslind2]

I actually LOVE their latest stuff. Anyhow, it's really sad they're done :(

[@zackman86]

They sound awesome

[@DeadSpeakerBAJ]

That's sweet! and yea, Gillespie just has more flair. But Dan is a sweet drummer. I've listened to just him playing before too.

[@onyxdarky]

haha me too! he's great, i couldn't believe that eh was blind because he's awesome playing!

[@mikedtheg5270]

Grewwwww up watchingg thisss*.*

[@Mars_The_Legend]

me too bro

[@justjacobmartin]

he improvs so much..its awesomeee

[@down6574]

He has alot of power!!

[@vaeldd]

Awesome!

[@Intentspunk19]

he is amazing! after one minute of that id be tired.

[@parkins521]

best drummer ever

[@Hotdawg0007]

He's a beast...

[@iamthecornholio]

This guy is my hero.

[@KSson08]

ya hes friggen awesome !

[@152sith]

the ending were hes just playing off his bells and ride is fucking sick lol

[@unresolved777]

so Daniel Davison (ex Norma Jean) has taken over drumming? wow, thats pretty good. Daniel was a damn good drummer. he will be a huge step for Underoath. cant wait to see how he does.

[@elviskapu5015]

es perfecto

[@derekcazares9977]

Este personaje del hardcore toca con tanto poder y soltura como lo hace igual cuando canta y toca la guitarra. Pero la batería sin duda alguna miro nacer a esta bestia.

[@coreyhhh]

@Blindevilunderoath Good point. They certainly aren't any less intense than a regular band.

[@zergteranian]

im a christian.,so what??we still love music like this...it doesnt matte dude..

[@Iceboy575655]

Top 3 drummers: Aaron Gillespie Alex Rodriguez - from Saosin Travis Barker - Blink 182.

[@MEGATRON2024]

Honestly..this guy is a fucken monster...Mad Props

[@armand0]

people underestimate aaron, he's a good drummer! complements this band! i can say taht he can be on the same level as matt greiner or jordan mancino..

[@LOLitsJorge]

@rjdrums26 if you play close attention its not the tuning is the way he hits the drums i discovered this last saturday with my band.

[@Therecouldbe]

I thought that Daniel was the best person to replace him. After my favorite drummer leaving my favorite band, I was a little biased about Disambiguation. Though after a month or two, it became one of my favorite records. And Daniel was amazing on their farewell tour. Underoath didn't go downhill after Aaron, they're always been amazing.

[@unresolved777]

Aaron was good in their older albums with that insane double bass, but up until his recent departure, he was more technical. but personally i like Jordan of As I Lay Dying, and Mike from August Burns Red..... and in my opinion, Lance Garvin from Living Sacrifice just takes the cake, he's just old school and brilliant. Lance has to be almost every hard/metalcore drummers inspiration.... all my opinion, so no hate please.

[@xmega45x]

hes the only reason i listen to underoath. i like the music but aaron is what makes underoath underoath. without him they wouldnt be underoath.

[@seanwearsprd]

man im not homo but hearing his voice and drum skills gives me the chillz! lol GOD=win win win

[@cjgarza89]

@ardiyiap i actually met him yesterday. he is really really cool, really down to earth. yeah i play around with untraditional fills every chance i get, but i kinda hold them back when playing with a band, unless iv been playing with them for a while. they tend to throw people off.

[@dogzthesharp]

Dont you dare forget Matt Griener from August Burns Red. He is freakin amazing!

[@BenjaminRosati23]

@drumsandknex321 to focus on the almost more. he said he still loves the guys they are like his brothers and he loves the music they wrote together.

[@heavenwithin81]

GOOOOODDDDD i love drummers lol

[@920connor]

underoath wont be the same without aaron... seriously idk if ill even like em anymore :P

[@arsewankerbr0]

@jeffxisbell Thats what great tuning and Cymbals do.

[@MADFREAKU]

that was insane xd

[@paulyislegend]

He plays with in-ears. Ultimate ears if I'm not mistaken. An he tapes them in cause he headbangs like a freakin nutcase.

[@blooddrummer]

THIS IS THE ONE PROFESSIONAL DRUMMER THAT I DON'T THINK CAN PLAY AT ALL

[@souleatert1004]

But yet ur watching the video n commenting..foh dummy

[@amixofmany]

@Lorinsette but compared to aaron, not so much. not only can he sing and play at the same time, but he is unique and gets into the music so much. if you watch the video, even when there's a part in the song where he doesn't play, he's still moving around like he cant hold it in. he truly has passion for his music

[@aligatorsandcrickets]

oh sweet!!!

[@MonsieurTazGames]

@andycorll it's not petty at all, he's doing what he loves to do and what he enjoys, so i say good for him

[@christanmetal89]

@Doodleydrums thast why we r so passionate about are faith

[@jesusmerk2thebest]

OH MY GOD !!!!

[@mateusmarinho2943]

Monstro de mais.

[@zlagy777]

.. hes always been the lead singer of the almost.

[@JeserNoob]

@rjdrums26 anyone know how to get that EXACT or SIMILAR sound of a snare?
