"Servant of this Sentience" - Aaron Stechauner - Rings of Saturn

The FINAL installment of my Ultu Ulla full album playthrough video series! That sentence makes it sound cooler than it really is, but I'm pretty stoked that they are all out!
I filmed each one of the nine videos I have out for the record on the same day a little more than a year ago, so it's pretty exciting to have them all out after so much time.
Six of them (including this one) are on my channel, so if you missed out on one of them go check it out! Two are on the Nuclear Blast KZbin channel:
• Video &
• Video
and the other is on the Vic Firth KZbin channel:
• Aaron Stechauner | "Im... .
I endorse Tama Drums, Meinl Cymbals, Remo Drumheads, Vic Firth Drumsticks and Westone In-Ear Monitors.
Mixing done by Cody Wayne Stewart, Intro clip thanks to Scott Rudd.

Aaron, it's such a pleasure to see a drummer play all of his band's new songs. To be honest, I rarely see that even in these days which is fucking strange!)

[@ostentatiousostrich]

Heel toe perfection..

John vincent Hahaha wow. Double strokes up top are cheating too I guess. Grow up. Lol

[@lukecasteel5392]

you are a fantastic artist Aaron, your definitely one of my inspirations. i brought a pair of your signed gnarled up corps master sticks in Pontiac Michigan, they are my good luck charm i grisp them tightly before i go out and jam with my bandmates, thank you for your contribution to this wonderful music p.s the mosh pits were fantastic, ive saw you guys twice \m/ keep slammin them heads man \m/

[@ryansoleim]

You are truly an amazing man and ridiculous drummer. Excellent

[@jayfindlay8011]

I loved these playthroughs and you're a fucking badass drummer Do you think that you might do the same thing for one of the older rings albums dingir or something, that would be pretty cool

[@novoice9286]

Jay Findlay i want to see him play INFUSED, the breakdown in monster

[@jayfindlay8011]

Neathmilton YES, or shards of scorched flesh

[@hugolafhugolaf]

Aaron, your bass drum technique is out of this world. You must not skip leg day. Your creativity reminds me of Gene Hoglan.

[@wesleywalden4997]

Triggers bud

[@HyBriDa2O]

@@wesleywalden4997 You still have to hit the bass drum for the triggers to trigger. The trigger just makes the sound consistent

Aaron, I’m firstly a guitarist, but you’ve inspired me to start taking drumming more seriously and start trying out other instruments too. You’re a great drummer and I love seeing this shit!

[@arimus4520]

That footwork though. Sounds like he is on a much bigger kit than he really is. Amazing.

[@Jimb1264]

All the members of this band are so perfect at what they do

[@mattjones6450]

@Does it djent? No rest for the heretics Not wrong, but I’m gonna miss Miles and Aaron man.... Ulta Ulla was different, it felt more controlled and matured than their other stuff, and I really wish they would keep going in that direction. But Lucas is advertising the new album as a mix of Lugal Ki En and Dingir, so I think it really was Aaron and especially Miles that injected the melody and controlled writing into the band. Oh well, still psyched for the new album and I will most likely still enjoy it!

[@arcadedomination8006]

His kit isn't even as decked out as some metal drummers, great to see.

[@heaththedrummer666]

The drum composition at 0:40 (that repeats again later) is my favourite thing you’ve created yet man. I never had much interest in RoS until you started putting these videos out

[@strictlysir8612]

Cannot wait until you guys make another album, I know you guys aren't machines but Ultu Ulla was fucking amazing. By far my favorite album, I love every song off the album

[@plandc5]

Dude saw y’all in Dallas y’all are fucking sick by far one of the most skilled bands Iv ever seen hope y’all come back soon!!!!

[@stephenschultz3471]

When I first heard this, I fell in love with it ever since. You are an amazing drummer. Keep it up.

[@donniewhite1399]

Do you always use just a 4 piece set? I mean that's awesome that you pull this shit off with a little set like this & it sounds kickass. Just wondering if you ever use more tom toms or if you just feel more comfortable with a basic set like this? Most world class drummers have a 10-12 piece with a gazillion symbols. You keep it simple and that's cool. You're a world class drummer in my opinion! I used to play drums & I've been to probably 100 concerts & the only drummer I've seen use a 4 piece like you, is the drummer for Chevelle & he does alright himself. Gets alotta sound outta that little ass set. Good work dude.

[@vladmihalca6402]

What will you do when you're done covering this album, will you cover older songs or other bands?

[@tiyenin]

I like these versions, where you can hear the instrumentals without having to listen to them behind an oversaturated vocal mic.

[@erichargis7466]

That snair tho

[@gmoney6829]

Yo I would go to your concerts but I can’t because your not doing them in USA :(

[@grxygxds]

Hes not the drummer of Rings Of Saturn anymore unfortunately 😔

[@gmoney6829]

Yeah like 3 days later is when I found out he left Edit: when I say 3 days later I mean 3 days after I posted this comment

[@jarensmith1609]

I've come to realize that most everybody I know/know of who have the name Aaron are always the most badass people I'll evwr know. keep doing what you doing and strive for excellence

Thanks for showing us you don’t need 3000 pieces on a drumset to be badass!!

[@darrenbissett9354]

Absolutely disgusting! And I mean that in the best way possible. Saw them on the last tour just to know it was real! Fucking unbelievable show and going in March again.

[@7637garrett]

Dude honestly that’s one of the heaviest brutal drum tones I’ve ever heard holy shit and the playing was perfection to of course killin it!

Perfect sound ! Can you upload other songs from the album ? Thanks for your alien drumming, it's a great inspiration to me ! I wish you all the best. Full Respects from France !

Are you the drummer for Rings Of Saturn? If not, either way, you fuckin shred duder.

Your double bass is legit the smoothest around. great job🐸

[@mrjehupitchfork]

How is it your feet don't change movement despite doubling the amount of hits?

One of my idols for sure. Not using czarcie or axis or trick. Using a small ass kit. Makes me wanna get some elims and feel satisfied as fuck.

[@BiRDiEHere]

Hey Aaron! I'm BiRDiE (not my real name), I play drums too! I'm trying to form a technical death metal band like the band your in, Were called "Tiputa", We have not made anything, But our songs will have dubstep in it! I'm trying to be like you, But its pretty hard, I can blast beat, But my fast double bass techniques are terrible, I can only swing my right foot and tap my left, So I'm pretty strange, But, I'm trying to teach myself all of this and watching lessons too, So, You should post a lesson video of what you do and stuff! Anyway! Keep doing what your doing! Never stop it and keep it up! :P

[@thehermit761]

would love to know how you do the really fast blast base pedal as I see your feet are not moving as fast as the beats. It looks like the heal toe technique ;but I could be wrong as I am not a drummer. have researched a bit on techniques tho. Would like to know if your going to start teaching?

[@dragonrider4339]

How the heck is he getting those notes with the double bass pedals? This must be a metal drummers secret I’m missing.. 😂 is it some kind of drum thing that gives an extra note when you hit the pedal? Maybe it’s those new magnet pedals 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[@grxygxds]

Search up Bass drum Double Strokes that's the technique he has mastered.

[@dragonrider4339]

Is it drum triggers? Cause dude i play and his legs dont match the speed the pedals are moving😂🤷🏻‍♂️unless maybe u are correct and he is getting double notes like base drum roll or something like that with each leg.. Cause i can get those notes fairly easy with just my drum sticks without moving my wrists almost at all. gravity does it all. 😂

​@@dragonrider4339 He is doing the Heel toe technique, when i was first watching drum covers it also looked like the way drummers move their legs on double bass doesn't match the sound
