Meinl Cymbals - Aaron Stechauner - "Pathkeeper"

[@deaterk]

Normally not my cup of tea, but holy balls this guy brings it! Not just speed and power, but there is definitely finesse present here as well! As always thank you Meinel!

[@denisabendroth1844]

checkout xenochrist with alex rudinger :) this may also not be your type of music, but ... just watch it

[@deaterk]

@@denisabendroth1844 Will do! Thanks for the recommendation!

[@coolatta1]

that slick stick recovery

[@VioletAOP416]

I think you can tell he drops sticks a lot, he came prepared and was ready

[@weergalmen]

that was not a recovery, that was the smoothest stick switch i have ever seen.

[@AaronStechauner]

JackBluebee actually it broke! didn’t drop it, but that happens sometimes too

[@themaddrummerofficial]

@@AaronStechauner Dude, it was EPIC!!! I'm known for "showboating" and blah blah blah... but it's the SOUND that matters. The "tone" didn't even change. You yanked it out, smacked it, and your tones remained solid. LOL You're brutal.

[@Adiaf8oros]

@@themaddrummerofficial Hey it's you!!!! haha damn

[@DDrummr41]

This is one of the best drum videos I've watched in a long ass time. Damn, man.

[@joelchastain4707]

His work with Rings of Saturn is amazing but with this he looks to be, dare I say it, having fun! Hell yeah.

[@calebknott8021]

I bet sound engineers love him for how far his hi hat and cymbals are from the drums

[@Brandondrumkc]

HAHAHAHA

[@chroniclesofapipemaker5175]

Lol they are kinda far arent they to each their own fuck the sound dudes(jk)

[@MyCoolboy17]

Lol his drum setup and playing style reminds me of someone who was like asked to play drums when they don’t normally play drums and this is what felt natural to them even tho it’s not technically correct haha, but hey this guy is a beast and is enjoying it and I love his style so I ain’t gonna fault him on anything

[@chroniclesofapipemaker5175]

@@MyCoolboy17 haha you are a drummer fo sho happy thanksgiving

[@drumrnva]

I love seeing so many drummers who embrace ambideterity. Wish I'd practiced it more when I started to play.

[@jaquilleoneil7282]

im 29 years old and new to drumming, one thing I've realized is I'm about 20 years behind on a lot of drummers. I'm taking the approach of "master what's needed" right now. If I get comfortable playing right handed with match grip. I may move to ambidextrous practice and learn traditional grip. Do you think this is a good approach?

[@drumrnva]

@@jaquilleoneil7282 Sure it's a good approach, but go ahead and play left hand lead at least part of the time if you can. I saw Kenny Aronoff in a drum clinic waaaay back in the late 1980s. He was experimenting with LH lead even then, and admitted it didn't feel "natural". Just cue up 'one headlight' by the Wallflowers, or an AC/DC tune, or something similarly grooving in 4/4, and just play it. It still feels awkward to me, but it feels WAY less awkard than six months ago. BTW, whatever time you started playing is exactly the right time. You're not behind. :)

[@janneheikkila3913]

@@jaquilleoneil7282 I recommend you stick to match grip, if "master what's needed" is your mind state. It's like teaching your left hand to run first, then cripple it and start from crawling phase. Traditional grip is not a "must have" to play the drums. I bet you get more actual results and have more fun sticking to match grip.

[@jamisonandrewmanhorvaththe1124]

i’m sorry, but playing 1 2 3 4 on the hats does not classify as ambidexterity, at least to me. I assume you’re talking about that?

[@drumrnva]

@@jamisonandrewmanhorvaththe1124 The drummer is playing left hand lead and it sounds/ feels good. That's what I meant. Apology accepted.

[@nonamenolastname9567]

I didn't follow him for a while. Last I remember he had long hair and a moustache, and wasn't this expressive when playing drums. Anyway, that was awesome drumming!

[@chrisryan91]

Was just wondering if that was the same guy who used to just vomit fast technique at you bc this is sick

[@kriksizanderson5471]

Those cymbals sound really good though. What about drum heads? Remo powerstroke?

[@PerpetualTwilight88]

Very sick!

[@csabagardian3173]

Hy, I'd like to ask from you Aeron Stechauner, that what do you use bass drum beater on TAMA drum pedals? Maybe PROMARK or GIBRALTAR beater, or what else? Thanks in advance for your answer. Best wishes, Csaba

[@GotLove4All]

These young lions are awesome. But.........as a old school drumming lion,you kids seem to be afraid to build and show off massive drumkits. Especially if you're playing metal!!! Clearly this young lion doesn't need a massive kit but.....sure would've looked really cool with the music he's playing!!!! Aaron....you're a bad-ass drummer my friend!! Keep it coming bro!

[@uglypineapple03]

Less is more, I guess It's pretty easy to get overwhelmed by many sound - choices etc, ya know? I most likely write stuff, that's not new to thee, but yk, what I wanna say right? owo

[@GotLove4All]

@@uglypineapple03 Not really????? Guess I'm a little slow.....

[@randallondrums2921]

It's not exactly a small kit. It's a 5 piece with a good number of cymbals. It's not a giant mike portnoy purple monster. But it's not small either.

Incredible. Amo questi batteristi in cui passaggi contrattempi inventiva scioltezza e coinvolgimento nel suonare lo strumento cosa che,con tutto il rispetto, Mike Mangini non ha. Non dico che non sia bravo ma niente di più. Questo ragazzo è qualcosa di pazzesco come si muove L'ho visto fare al grande mike portnoy, neal perl ( rush purtroppo scomparso) ed altri. Sentendolo e vederlo suonare la batteria ti fa rimanere attratto dalla sua capacità e stile
