Aaron Spears - Caught Up 2012- (London Show Soundcheck)

[@prodrumreece]

Its just unreal.. REST IN POWER TO THE GOAT AARON SPEARS

[@dudewuttheheck]

I always say that it's nice of Aaron to let Usher sing for him.

[@powerblaze2u]

lmao!

[@bmikejrtv]

Aaron is my fave. I broke both of my wrists playing football in h.s. I stopped practicing for years. I started back playing in March. I couldn't even hold the sticks for an entire two minutes of playing. Now, I can play nearly 15 minutes straight none stop. I'm growing!

[@fabdrums82]

Keep doing it bro!

[@JoelAzia]

Courage bro!

[@parist2732]

Brooo omg!! That's such an inspiring story. would love to see your progress after 6+ years from this comment :] keep growing and striving for your best

[@TylerDaleReynolds]

How did you jerk off? I’m usually done after 2 minutes of playing with myself so I can kinda relate

[@Bg54321]

R.I.P Aaron. An elite musician who is genuinely fascinating to watch at work. You can never be replaced ❤

[@seriously777]

I could listen to Aaron play all day. Simply amazing!!!

[@oreebee]

Still can't believe it. R.I.P to the one of the greatest of all time

[@petewrba]

The virtuousity is one thing - but his BEAT really gets me. The way the snare falls, it's perfect without sounding like an machine. Actually, Aaron is the first drummer in years that fascinates me.

[@Andy4543]

aaron you just have the best pocket i have heard any drummer have man. tony royster jr might have all these fast licks. but aaron has crazy groovy licks and with boss pocket. huge inspiration for my drumming

[@ARGCDG]

Made it seem so easy and he was flawless.

[@rhysdbeast5]

he never ceases to amaze

[@lucasdasilva5631]

Thanks Aaron. It means a lot for you to take the time from your day to answer questions. Means a lot to me being a fan and its something I appreciate and it shows professionalism in my opinion.. Thanks again Aaron!!

[@jayguzman2276]

Aaron Spears practicing with his singers and dancers

[@skyron19]

[@Fluffykinggaming]

Got my ticket the day he was announced!!! Can't wait!!

[@danrobertson4497]

There are massive changes Aaron. I think your way tighter and solid now. In saying that your first vid changed the way I and many others play. It is at the top of my list of most musically inspiring videos on KZbin

[@diamondray5353]

Aaron man you sick!I love your skills I am a 16 year old drummer and I play like you kind of.god bless you keep it up!

[@Raviabenj2000]

Gifted talent that blows my mind everytime you pick those sticks up

[@booi666]

Truly inspirational, I love it. Concepts like these have changed the way i approach my drums. A big Thanks dude

[@dariusmines]

it sounds just calmer and more relaxed in the beginning esp. DOPE

[@MonayeLoveTheOfficial]

Love your work....simply amazing! Peace!!!!!

[@TrebbleMovement]

hey man just met you at the london drum show, didnt get a chance to say how much of an insperation you are, you are so humble and just watching and talking with you has really inspired me to keep on going im no tquite where you are (haha) but hopefully one day i will be, thanks so much for taking the time to chat with me, although i was a little star struck haha and wish i asked you so many more questions man, god bless bro your amazing

[@filipewits]

God bless you Aaron. You are a inspiration for me.

[@SocratesDissatisfied]

As much as I loved the 06 version, I do think this sounds more musical and more inclusive of all the instruments. Feels like you have trimmed the fat and now gradually build to what is always a spectacular climax. Its all Inspirational!

[@ArthursSimpleLife]

WOW. best seat in the house!!!

[@shondrums]

Valdez killin that key bass!!! Have to listen to this w/headphones..

[@Nehemiah33]

Wow, sheesh! it sounds great. Everything he did was so crisp. it definitely is different than the other one. Aaron keeps gettin better, keep it up!

[@gwynalias9062]

i wanna learn how to play drums like you!!! God bless you Sir!!!

[@dennispotter4236]

And all this came from Dave Weckl's triplet chain? Musical evolution in action! This hard and funky linear style is just a great take on how to play a drum kit! The Gospel style is just awesome. It's technical, but man it's a joy to watch and listen to.

[@picure]

Thanks so much for sharing this man! You are a great inspiration!

[@Fluffykinggaming]

London Drum Show!!! Can't wait!! Aaron is headlining on the Saturday !

[@GoWildFM]

I would pay all that money for a Usher concert, just to hear you play live! Thank you for uploading

[@pgalatioto]

[@TripleOGStatuz]

[@drumatomic]

[@andyeynaud]

[@drummerboykwan1]

You r a Inspiration to me!!! Bro... God Bless

[@SimonRendallProductions]

Massive inspiration

[@Littlemanbig7]

That snare is fire!!!!

[@TheGospelDrumming]

yeah, it's different but still i like it.. just wondering how did you do all that chops.. sounds very cool.. i wanna learn it.. can anybody help me..?

[@HG12729]

You be kill'in them joints!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@banburydrumtuition8651]

Awesome!

[@headwu]

Aaron you're a great drummer, dude. What cymbals would you recommend for a church drummer like myself? We play a lot of latin music, and also alternative. We're starting to play some gospel as well. I've been using a meinl 16in crash, and meinl 20in ride, as well as an 8in splash. It's not bad, but very beginner indeed. Been playing for a while..actually most of my life, but the church cant really afford anything too fancy. I'll keep the meinls up, though. Just wanna know what's a good addition.

[@Geight5]

aaron what cymbal/china is that you use frequently in the center on alot of you accents?? i need that sound.. the attack on it is crazy. Glenn.

[@TheItalianDrummer]

WHAT A BEAST YOU'RE KILLIN IT!!!!!!!

[@702tastyrolls]

i love how the composition changes at 3:05 whoevers idea that was deserves a huge pat on the back. I love how you play it now, but that drummerworld fill with the krlkrlkkrlrlkrlkrlkkrlrlkrlkr at end of first chorus is easily one of my favorite fills of all time

[@BigRyGuy04]

It was a Zildjian 16" Oriental China trash and 12" A-Custom splash stacked inside for shorter sustain.

[@agungmunthe]

really love the outro, dope!!

[@mapexmanadam]

incredible !! cant wait to see you in Birmingham !! OCTOBER !!!! :)

[@MatthewWhitakerOfficial]

From 3.5 to the end of the song I like it.

[@JasonLeonPike]

Sounds great!!!

[@lisacutieful]

Its funny how Aaron goes all crazy on his fills, and the rest of the musicians don't even look at him..., its they are so used to it to the awesomeness, and they have no doubt he's coming back to 1

[@rooneyrodriguez11]

aaron you truly are amazing men! your chop's are insane i wish i was great as you...!

[@DavidMcmenemy]

Aaron! Any idea on the clinic dates you're doing in the UK in October? I've already pre-ordered a ticket but dates haven't been confirmed yet... :p

[@YouthDrummer]

Dear Mr. Spears. Can you do a short video of the basics of the 'gospel roll'/ Triplet roll. That would be awesome :D

[@WebbMobley]

This is crazy!!!!

[@drummerseahawkboy]

Aaron when you did this in 2006 what cymbal stack did you use ? Been trying to figure out that sound for years, noticed your current stack is a A custom EFX with EfX splash

[@mcravalho]

All I have to say is.....WOW!!!

[@jamaalmanley]

hey aaron, i see that you are using the russ miller groove wedge, what is your favorite snare?

[@BigRyGuy04]

One of your biggest fans, for real. Just curious.. has Usher ever had to ask you to calm down on the fills? lol.

[@xcalybur32]

The wood thing? That's a groove wedge. For rim shots and cross sticking.

[@Drum-Analogy1]

OMG Impeccable timing as always.I need a surgeon to cut open this man's head and take out the metronome he's hiding in there.

[@Drumkey17]

i love it man keep it up

[@user-fn9nq9wk6l]

in th epocket and back to the ONE!!!

[@ThouOLORDartashield]

I LOVE YOUR WORK AND I LOVE USHER!

[@CHSdrummer21]

holy shittttt......... im gonna go practice now lol

[@afarongordon]

Feelin the whole video Aaron you're da man

[@CLoi8]

hey Aaron. I absolutely love your stuff. awesome. I've learnt a lot of your fills and ideas an want to apply it to a solo piece for assessment. I would like to get a hold of the MD Festival 2006 version of Caught Up (minus the drums and the same form). it would be awesome if you reply as I would really appreciate your help so I can get a hold of this track. thanks Aaron.

[@mynameistomdunlea22]

[@Ted_Swayinghill]

THAT SNARE HAS SO MUCH BODY!!!! What head is on there @Aaronspears ?

[@mcampbell28]

Love it g

[@rengelgabriel]

I remember the older video of you killing this song changed radically my music interests from prog rock/metal to this. From all the gospel/rnb drum choppers, you're my favorite. Thanks, great vid also. Ear opening.

[@mykepaniza3986]

WOW! the camera is shaking because of Aaron's Awesomeness.

[@parrisbowens1378]

Brother I love your feel!! Monster!!

[@andyeynaud]

Dear Aaron.. Please!!! I've been trying for years to figure out your drum fill at 2:49 ... it's impossibile!! can you tell it to me ??? :)

[@drummerjone]

Hey Aaron. Great playing man, always getting better and better :) By the way, what crashes are you using? :) God Bless! :)

[@CodeOfConduct4422]
