Instructor:
► Paramore, Underøath, The Almost and now, his own solo album. Aaron wears more hats than we can keep track of and he wears all of them extremely well. Currently the touring drummer for Paramore, Aaron offers a unique perspective on what it means to be a working drummer and an artist at the same time. He’s all-in and his drum lessons reflect that.
Aaron uses:
Meinl Cymbals: www.meinl.com

Imagine being the one who wrote the drum part for the song, being invited to showcase that drum beat and then being doubted that you know the time signature.
Thats exactly what I thought too. Im not sure he was trying to be malicious about it. I think he just doesn't have much of a filter when he interviews other drummers.
Yeah I think with this song, since the guitar riff itself is 3 BARS long before it repeats, it feels likes it not in 4/4
Yeah f this dude
Aaron is a legend Levon helm
The interviewer isn’t a drummer, and quite a terrible actor. You can tell by the way he answered the question “I uhh, was young when it came out so uhhh, yeah I was young” like bro this is a drumming channel. Looks real bad
Hard to believe he wrote songs that are heavy as fuck on a single pedal
Fax bro no one ever talks about this
Dude is such a creative drummer with some memorable parts. I love Aaron
Hard to imagine him slaying his kit this hard AND singing, but he definitely did it
HapticNoise present tense. Does
Wait, are they actually back together for good now?
HapticNoise they're on tour i think
Yep. More dates to come.
I once saw this man go through 3 different snare heads at a concert. Aaron beats the hell out of his kit. Shit was amazing, lol.
Are you kidding me oh my gosh
I love how tasteful he is..the band has that heavy vibe but he doesn’t play the typical way all the other drummers of the time sounded you know the guitars just in sync with the kick drum for half the song or more, also the guitars are so different than anything going on back then and even now the music is so tasteful.
He grew up listening to Nirvana. He reminds me of Dave Grohl in that way.
I cant help but sing spencers screams in my head while he's playing . UO4L
for rizzle, natedizzle!
Badass drumming style.
Love UnderOath, unlike any band I've seen.
He does play hard af though lol. Fits his style however.
When you see them live it definitely makes sense. Amazing energy.
When I was growing up Aaron was one of my favorite drummers, not because he was Neil Peart but because the parts he created sounded great, he hit incredibly hard, and he rocked out with a true passion. Sometimes you don't need to be voted drummer of the year to be FUCKING AMAZING at what you do and leave an lifelong impression on people.
Underoath was just one of those bands that rocked harder than everybody else and put on an insane show above and beyond the bands they were playing with. They're Only Chasing Safety and Define The Great Line occupied my listening devices for many an hour in my late teens and early 20's.
it'd be cool to hear him break down something from Lost in The Sound of Separation.
We have 3 or 4 tracks off that record on our site. Aaron slays.
180 DRUMS desolate earth the end is near has the best drum tracks with Daniel and aaron
Crazy drums throughout the album.
Lame
The confusion surrounding the time signatures comes from the fact that the length of the riff in question is three measures of 4 beats long. So the pattern repeats every 12 beats instead of the usual 8 or 16
So 4:3????
so stoked to see my favorite drummer play again,hes the reason i picked up a drum stick to begin with,glad to see him playing still and dang he's still amazing!
definitely knows how to switch it up alot and keep it fresh!
So many people say metal drummers don't have dynamics and write them off as bad... Metal is meant to be played hard ur not gonna have a whole load of dynamics and ghost notes in there, metal drums are a driving juggernaut style
I’m a bass player, but I love his drumming. It’s his signature. He definitely has his own sound and it is magnificent.
It doesn't seem like 4 because the accents cross the bar line and it's a 3 bar pattern but it's definitely in 4.
I've been huge fan since I was 11.This is so refreshing to see true musicianship. He inspired me a lot. I play drums as well. 👌👏👏👏💗🙌
This dude is a such a legend
Count it in 6/4 (if that's even a thing) I feel like it makes sense that way
This dude is a drum GOD
lol the face at the end so funny
when e played one last time
Lover of life he looks like a platypus
2:40 Aaron's like "don't fucking touch me"
It's in 4. The phrasing and emphasis that he's using is making it feel different then what we are used to. It's in 4. Counting along it never breaks 4.
It's true.
dude literally bangs them drums. he's even out of breath
Javier Scheuermann cause of that weight he's packed on!! lol
Javier Scheuermann damn right he does 🤘🏼
so true holy shit i just realized lmao
i love this guy so much
the look on aaron's face when he says "it's in 4, is it not?"
i horse cackled bc he's so right but its such a weird arrangement.
absolutely amazing
Never listen to Underoath, but I love his drumming
Nah. I get it. To play on the records he played on, you'd have to hit that hard and that dynamically consistent to pull the right tone. It sounds silly out of context to hit that hard, but in context with the music, it would sound really wussy to play it any softer.
For sure. Sometimes they like to have a blend of the live and triggered samples. So these guys (to pull the right tone from the skins) in the studio will hit the things harrrd.
Daniel Davison played in the same band and didnt beat his drumset like it owed him money. He played with actual dynamics, and it resulted in Underoaths most atmospheric and dynamic album to date
Sorry man, I see what you're trying to say, but Underoath won't be remembered for Disambiguation. Gillespie is good at making memorable drum lines, easy to tap away to and fun. Love it or hate it, the albums he's on are the ones Underoath will be remembered for and the ones that made them who they are.
@@icanhasforcepush you are absolutely correct. I don't even listen to underoath without Aaron... He was a lot of their soul and energy.
@@icanhasforcepush agreed so tired of arm chair experts coming into music to ruin the legacy of an amazing drummer.
Fantastic drummer.
Loving the vids keep them coming
You got it Micah.
UNREAL
i've always felt this song in 6 for some reason
Ay Ay Ron! ❤️
gimme that ride
Okay so...'technically' speaking it's in 12/4 because it's a 12 count from the start to the end of the measure, but of course Aaron can count it as 4 because 12 is just 3 cycles of 4. As long as it's a straight measure you can always subdivide into 4s if you prefer.
This is the kind of ASMR I'm into
I love when drummers play there ride cymbals hella hard instead of just for the bell
it's divisible by 4, but I agree with either 4 bars of12/4 or 8 bars of 6/4.
Okay thanks I have to listen to this damn song again now LOL
The time is in 4/4 but the riff rotates in groups of 3 bars which is why it feels a bit odd! :)
That is definitely 4/4 time signature. Mostly 8th and 16th note based with some 32nd notes in the mix. I like it alot! Has variety.
My favorite channel now. Keep up the good work.
We're honored, thank you.
Please do a kit rundown in these videos. What exact cymbals and what exact drums? Models, sizes, etc.
For you Brian, anything.
Love this video!! Well done
I need to know what the fuck his setup is made from that it’s been taking such a consistent beating for 25 years.
That shoulder punch at 2:40. Big flirt 😂
Eh I’ve been there, you make a comment that is a joke but it could be taken as an insult and you just want to let them know you meant well.
Cool video thanks for posting
You're welcome Scott!
Awk...ward...
I love playing to this song, its fast tho, i still have to warm up before playing it.
The only heavy band that doesn’t need double kick for any song. Beside pre 2000s music they put out which was like deathcore haha
3:08 shocked for a sec
Definitely in four... HOWEVER, it's a three bar phrase, which creates the illusion of an odd meter. The groove/lick turns around every twelve counts. I think most of us are just so programmed to gravitate towards four bar phrasing, myself included, that anything that's not phrased that way seems foreign. Also, speeding licks up makes them seem more complex than they really are.
Ulalalalalalala aaroon best! legend!
That fat saturated kick sound is so good!
Holly small kit. It’s amazing what he does with a small kit
I like when Jake got shocked from that cymbal slam.. LOL
True story!
it's more like 12/4 since it feels like 3 measures instead of 4 or 2 which is more conducive to 4/4 or 4/8, IMO
that kit sounds good IMHO
everyones saying shit for how easy this is but at the end of the day it works and goes with the tune? you dont have to be tech asf to be a decent drummer, sometimes simple is better
thanks aaron
Thank you Curtis!
If you go to 4:30 and count out "123456, 123456, 123456, 123456" I think it's actually 12/8. Change my mind. (12/8 instead of 6/4 because the slower counted feeling doubled "because of fast notes" is 12/8)
100% I could be wrong though
what are they clicking on the ground?
Audio switch to turn on different overheads for talking Jeremy :)
I think the intro groove is actually 6/4 though? And then at the breakdown changes to 4/4 for the rest of the song
Aaron should be a professor at my music college.
Hey, I know lot of people is going to be against my request but can you bring the drummer from blink 182 (travis barker). there are a lot of grooves , fills, chops really hard to learn alone. Up all night, Ghost on the dancefloor, Wishing well and No future are my favourites intro. plz dont judge him before listening these tracks o watching any blink concert!
It’s so nice to see Mikey from shameless get out of prison to give drum lessons.
my vote is that this part of the song is in 6/4 (but the verses, transitions are often in 4 from the original song). the rhythms are fast, but the pocket sits in a half-time vibe.. so it could be 6/4 in cut time... but either way I'm pretty sure this song wasn't created on the sheet music ha
Does anyone else think that Aaron would look great with a beard?
Nah this song is easy on drums. He's not lying. lol
yungsavagesleeper im not sure why they spent time doing this video. this song really is easy lol
yungsavagesleeper
yungsavagesleeper I hate people like you. I'm not sure why thet made this video? what you mean is hey every one look at me I'm really good at drums I'm cool right? you probably suck lol.
Its honestly pretty easy for this style of music, Aaron is completely right.
No no, he's right. I grew up playing through Underoath albums to teach myself drums, and I definitely had to start somewhere, but this is a really good beat to teach someone when they're just starting out and have a few rock beats in their pocket. Definitely on the low end of intermediate, if not the high end of beginner.
when asked if that starts on beat 3, i dont think aaron knew. he just responded. lol still a good heavy drummer.
Definitely feels better to count it in 6/4 but maybe some people just feel better counting that in 4/4
Interesting bass drum technique. Doesn't matter that the song is simple; experience and talent shines through! An inexperienced drummer may be able to play it, even relatively easily, but to make it sound the same... maybe not so much so...
I would just like to hear this song with just his drums only
❤ underoath
Us too!
What drum sticks does he use I know he uses Vater but like more specific
Vater 2B!
Why does the description say meinl cymbals
Is that a 22” K Dark ride?
ok.. I see what you're saying about the 4/4. What I want to know is, would that almost kind of be poly rhythmic?
Polyrhythm = poly(many)rhythms = 2 or more... If the guitar player is playing a rhythm against Aaron's that overlaps or complements, but is different to it, then yes! His groove isn't necessarily a polyrhythm though :)
I never bothered to try to count this song, as it feels really natural to me, but it counts most easily in 12/4.
I am a huge fan of underoath, and I will admit, as an 8th grader, I was obsessed with his drumming style and practiced TOCS songs excslusively. But this dude doesn’t know anything formal about drumming. He can play around, but there is a reason why he doesn’t do clinics or anything like that very often. it’s because he has very little, if any, knowledge of the art, he’s just got natural talent, I suppose. He’s very good at what he does though!
In the description, you got all of his sponsors wrong.
Surprisingly Kurt, that's what Aaron plays (he just switched to Zildjian)... he just wasn't using most of his gear in the video :)
Give the guy a heads up before you start playing, gawd :D
the count is in 4/4 but its like 12 counts total before things repeat. instead of 16 counts so it kinda sounds like its in 3/4 but its not lol
What are those hats he’s using? 14 15?
What cymbals were y'all using here???
Been a huge fan of UO since before They're Only Chasing Safety was released and Aaron was probably my biggest influence when picking up the drums years ago.... However, that being said, does anyone else feel like it was a good thing for UO after he left? Disambiguation was great and Dan brought a lot to the table. It seems to me that all Aaron has going for him now is hitting really hard. He hasn't really evolved as a drummer.
Just my two cents
Dan's great. We really feel Aaron evolved a lot taking time to tour with Paramore and grow as a drummer. Seeing their recent tour sets with Aaron playing live definitely proved that to us!
I agree. what a big fucking disappointment Aaron grew up to be
feelsbadman
Ben Harris dude he's doing a drum lesson on a song he's written 11 years ago of course he's not going to be fucking Travis barker or some shit on this song
I am very aware of when this song is from, but it is clear you missed my point.
What is that k ride he is using???
22" K Light Ride
I'm sorry but in regards to myself was slower than 175 bpm haha maybe 160 bpm.
It's 160, no need to be sorry. ;)
This song is easy, why is this guys mind so boggled?
He's not wrong, this is a really easy song. I'd almost prefer he break down something like Breathing In a New Mentality, or Returning Empty Handed.
You should bring Étienne Dionne from Mute in for a video!
lol people say give flack that Aaron plays so hard what about Steve from TFK? The energy is awesome.
Couldn't agree more, it's needed for the style of music!
I would not let this guy play with my cymbals.♥️
so good what cymbals sizes it he using
well he's a meinl artist so he's using gear that 180 provides I'm guessing... the ride is a 24" K light ride that he's using here. I've seen him usually switch between a 22" or 24" with his menial's. 15" hi hats i believe (not sure if he's using that size in the vid) and looks like 19"- 20" for the crashes.
Zidljian K Light's... 22 and 15 hats... K Dark Crashes 19 & 20 A Custom if memory serves correct!
so close!
Actually, As of January 10th, Aaron is a Zildjian Artist. zildjian.com/artists/aaron-gillespie
His setup is 17" Constantinople Crash and 17" K Dark Thin Crash as HiHats, 22" Constantinople Overhammered Ride, 22" Constantinople Renaissance Ride, 24" K Light Ride
He has chosen Zildjian because, as he puts it, "Zildjian is king. All the greats for all the years, most musical cymbals ever."
All he did was actually easy, maybe changes a bit too much or does too many things but listening to it a few times you get the hang of it pretty fast
His drumming is so weird…. Always wondered where he got it from
What shirt is Aaron wearing
All Saints
12/4
I hate how much smoke this kid is blowing up...well... it's just silly and makes thing unprofessional. Aaron is just being real, it's easy, yes, but it's a great part and that's what counts.
For real I felt embarrassed
I thought the interviewer was going to pull out the third drumstick and give it the double stroke.
deadly
made me laugh lol
good vid
I had a chance to meet Aaron while working at the Memphis Drum Shop. He was in town with Paramore for the Beale Street fest. Super nice guy and down to earth. He sat down at a kit in the cymbal vault and jammed on some Istanbul cymbals. Killer drum but has hardly any wrist usage in his playing. He only knows beating the hell out of the drums and using mostly arms. Poor technique but killer at what he does.
That's rad you got to spend some time around Aaron, he's a fantastic guy. We would agree that he knows how to play drums inredibly hard, and that takes a lot of arms - especially for the visual element of what he gets hired to do. We would also encourage you to check out videos of Aaron playing at length with Underoath and Paramore and you'll see how much power and speed Aaron gets by using both wrists and arms. I certainly know my arms couldn't play that fast and powerful without using any wrists at all! If you know the secret Clanton, we'd love to hear it! Thanks for writing :) - Jake
Each part is 3 measures in 4/4. It feels weird because it's only 3 rather than 4 measures.
