Aaron Spears Drum Playthrough: “Golden Rock” by Dory Lobel

[@ghettostreamlabs5724]

RIP Aaron. You inspired so many of us with your infectious passion for this instrument.

[@LudwigDrumsHQ]

🔥🔥🔥🔥 Proud to have Aaron behind Ludwig Drums. He does a great job showcasing the rich tone available in Legacy Maple series drums and with Copperohonic Snares.

[@CamiloMoyaBaterista]

I don’t know

[@DrummerDanny76]

I'm glad he's with Ludwig !! He looks right at home

[@a.s.henderson483]

Love the snare, despite having a preference for wood snares (love tuning my Ludwig Bubinga snare low, my vented Spaun Maple snare high).

[@alexandrfedorov5722]

Your drums are great! I think it would be bebefitial for You to speak more like a person and less like a corporation ) Cheers

[@dapatumbuthenu7403]

Heaven surely need a great drummer to have a glorious jam

[@BigAce88]

Yes he is so cool

[@DiegoNicolas]

I grew up watching your videos and learning about your music, we will miss you 💔

[@DariusP33]

Rest In Power!!! You will be missed!

[@barryhetherington9816]

Phenomenal!!! Solid meat and potatoes groove with the sensitive touch on the cymbals at the end! You killed it!

[@MrCamwilliams7]

I still can’t believe Aaron gone man…he was 1 of my favorite drummers! & from what I hear just 1 of the greatest humans ever. 😢 rest in paradise 🙏🏾

[@bobslenker27]

Drums sound great! Esp the toms. I love the controlled resonance/nice sustain. Makes u wanna hit them so much more often.

[@KennethKBBenson]

RIP to the GOAT man 😥😥

Astonishing kit. Phenomenal drummer.

I’ve probably watched this video 20 times in the last 3 days. I just can’t get over how incredible these drums sound. Especially the snare. Is that a copper phonic?

[@Dave-lr2wo]

It's a little bit the drums and LOT O' BIT the drummer.

[@jwebby85]

@@Dave-lr2wo 50/50 when you have an incredible drummer playing incredible drums.

[@Daniel_Piotrowski]

For me it‘s also the typical REMO CS sound

[@error.delete4945]

And the stellar sound production/mix quality. Folk often forget that they're listening to highly controlled sound design and not actual unfiltered drums.

Yeah it’s a Copperphonic model snare in a raw patina finish with die-cast hoops.

[@Joshstix95]

I know that ride is his signature articulation ride - and the hi hats are a prototype of that exact ride

[@andyham6094]

Those look like zildjian’s version of the Matt garstka Meinl equillibrium hats and sound similar too

[@gmiguelcv]

What is the cymbal setup?

whats the thing Aaron has on the top of the snare drum, looks like padlock? is it some muffing/muting thing? thx

[@Robert-t5u2o]

Just found out from Eric Tam Tam . RIP you did it right.

[@NateReelz]

aaroooon

[@oysterhead5150]

Amazing performance as always by Aaron! How long has he been playing Ludwig? I thought he was a Pearl artist, can't remember.

[@Obi-Wan81]

Fairly recent switch. He was with DW, but then switched to Sonor. Thought he'd be with them forever to be honest, as they seemed a really good fit for them, especially with Chris Coleman being very similar in style...

[@TC-lk2ev]

@@Obi-Wan81 From the little i understand of it, sonors artist support is not the best, especially for drummers who do a lot of clinics. I could be wrong, but thats what ive heard from drum forums over the years, so who knows.

[@pfishingman7444]

RIP Aaron 😢

[@wilburwokeii8298]

How’s he doing?

[@dwaynejones1146]

RIP.

[@DrummerDanny76]

This is not the Pro Beat that Aaron is playing in the video. Why doesn't Sweetwater sell the one that Aaron is playing, this 5 piece ?

[@xPoisonDashx]

The kit sounds so dry and dark 🥵

[@kamso3553]

Anyone notice his new moustache?😂😂 looks good tho

[@amomentsnotice]

YT always has a trucked balance with the audio & video through the snare beat audio comin’ through awn the high hat beat audio if that makes any sense for those into some serious music study.

[@peterpiwoski]

Cool video, but in the future point a camera at the drummer's foot so we could see the footwork.

[@cryptonios]

he looks like Dennis lately

[@charliedi603]

his arm movement is what makes him special

[@ArthurDent33]

Why the click?

[@rosmakloma]

Super talented, but in a very short amount of time he’s been with DW, then Sonor, and now Ludwig

[@supraphonic88]

I’ve heard Sonor’s tour support isn’t great. Could just be that he needed a company that would back him up on the road better.

[@drummeralbertrivera9577]

@@kevinb8527 When Todd Sucherman signed with Sonor, he was touring with Styx right after John Panozzo died. Every kit that he had from Sonor, he bought. He had to wait 7 months for hardware due to HHM’s and Sonor’s incompetence.

[@charleschi843]

Those first 30 seconds looked so awkward for him to play. I’ve always wanted to see amazing drummers have a competition of who can keep a straight beat with zero fills the longest.
