Aaron is a murderer. He is actually my drum teacher and he's a beast. He can play with or without triggers super fast. He can hit hard doubles without triggers. He's very well trained and is a great teacher and player. He plays now for Faceless and Interloper after leaving ROS, where Mike Caputo, another great drummer, took over his spot.

@@hazardeur true but you put massive downward pressure on the pedals, which on something like wood or concrete, slides all over the place. Depending on how you do your doubles, but one of the ways a lot of people do them is with pressure from the hip flexors, which is why you'll see a lot of people lean into it. The other way of doing it isn't as bad for sliding but is much harder to learn/do consistently as its about finding a sweet spot in the rebound and controlling it.

@i.r.drummer 3 жыл бұрын

The big thing with triggers in metal is some players have adapted a technique of turning up the trigger sensitivity to the max and basically tapping, so there’s no effort to playing, but those few couldn’t play without triggers if their lives depended on it. The majority of current metal drummers using triggers do so because with thunderous bass and usually 2 guitars with crushing distortion, the kick gets muddied in the mix...so the triggers clean it up. Nothing wrong with that. Guys like Alex Rudinger use a module from 2Box and his trigger is actually sampled from his own kick drums.

I think I just figured out how to explain triggers to people. Take acoustic guitars for example. You can add some bits to them and make them semi-acoustic, so you can amplify the sound, or add effects. That same principle applies to triggers, they're just how you make semi-acoustic drums.

Aaron S. is an amazing drummer. He is no longer with Rings of 🪐 and was replaced with a beast of a drummer known as “Lord Marco” who I would definitely check out if you’ve never heard that guy play. The man is a Lord of Drumming. To the channel owner: “Thank you for taking the time to put these videos together of these amazing drummers of genres of music that are not very popular to most.” People of course are not going like the sound of Technical Death Metal, Technical Deathcore, etc but it should atleast be respected for the skill needed to perform this music. Death Metal is perceived a lot like Jazz music was by mainstream society when it made its first appearance because it was so different sounding/off time signatures. Anyways, thanks again and take care all!

In relation to 7:20, just before you paused at that first gravity blast, there is a blast beat pattern where his hands alternate on the snare. You can clearly see he flubs the snare hits at the end of the blast beat before going into gravity blast, but it sounds continuous and normal. Also the dude is getting the fullest snare tone from lifting his sticks like 2 inches off the head during blasts, while having the lightest grip on his sticks I've maybe ever seen in metal.

Triggering is not necessarily a bad thing in this genre because there are very few drummers who can play in excess of 220BPM without kick trickers and define the notes perfectly every time, regardless of technique. It's mainly for consistency sake. Triggers still have to be activated so the beater still has to hit the skin and so in most cases the drummer is clearly able to hit this speed, this is why it's always more impressive live than a studio recording where no post editing can take place. This video clearly has some post edit processing to remove minor issues but to claim Aaron isn't an insane drummer because of some cleanup would be laughable at best. As for another drummer to checkout I would reccomend John Longstreath "All Things Dead" for more metal or for an insane Gospel Drummer check out this video From Eric Moore kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e8lyYNCnnbzTaGg.html

It's on the opposite end of the spectrum from jazz for me, but on equally high peak of their respective mountains. My only critique is that great metal drummers tend to sound the same (to ME, obviously), or lack a certain personality. With jazz, you can hear and FEEL, each players personality. Again, I consider them equally high peaks of their respective mountains in drumming.

He has the bass drum stuffed and he has a trigger on it. All the other percussion is mic’d. You can’t play past a certain speed on the bass drum without using triggers. The acoustic notes just don’t respond on a 22 inch drum past a certain tempo. It’s not cheating because you still have to move the peddle beaters at the same tempo and that guy has beautiful clean 32nd note doubles. Speed metal drumming it’s not my cup of tea, but I do respect the technical skill and concentration required to achieve it. I like that this guy keeps it to a four piece set. Thanks for the video

@theskylie 3 жыл бұрын

I don't see a huge problem with triggers on kicks if you're looking at sound output instead of dynamics. I think that's how he generates such a mean sound with his (really awesome) heel-toe technique for that gatling gun sound. The triggers will still initiate sound when prompted, as far as my own understanding goes, so in theory it should just enhance what would otherwise be quieter sounds, but still be playing what you play.

@jasonallen5318 3 жыл бұрын

I'm curious about possible triggers too. I'm guessing that the wired box is perhaps a bass drum sounding trigger that makes the bass hits sound a lot louder while he lightly taps with the double kick? He might also have a switch to speed up the double bass pedal tempo (there are triple & quad pedals that exist, this can also be done electronically through triggers as well). It just doesn't look like his feet are swinging fast enough on some of the more extreme double bass pedal sections, so there might be some sort of tempo trigger, although I might be wrong on this assumption, and that's not to take anything away from this dude because I could never drum to this technically extreme metal, so mad props to him.

@MikeCaputo 3 жыл бұрын

The box in front of his left pedal is just to stop the left pedal from sliding away from him. Triggers just play a sample when you hit the drum instead of using a microphone for the drum. It makes the sound more crisp, reliable, and able to cut through the mix better (especially at really high speeds where it would just turn into mud). If you weren't using triggers, I don't care what technique you're using, if you're playing over 215-220bpm it just turns into a rumble and it will get lost in the mix.

I saw Aaron him playing at a Ring's show..but he was playing with The Faceless amd I think Interloper....and Interloper's guitarist played for Rings.....I don't get all the crossing of members, haha, its odd. btw Aaron is a COOL dude, so is Miles Dimitri Baker (the Interloper guitarist) 😊

Think its pretty safe to say he's using triggers with samples. He might be using samples of his own kit and thats why his snare sounds organic.

Another INCREDIBLE drummer is Nils 'Dominator' Fjellström (did work w/ Dark Funeral) -- maybe the song Vobiscum Satanas..?? dude has some serious skill.. check it out for a video or just because it's great 😊🤘🏻

Hey, love these videos. I wanted to suggest Lyle Cooper’s play through of Planetary Duality by The Faceless. You previously covered a play through by Alex Rudinger playing a song from that album. Would be good to see you react to the original drummer!

Should check out Lord Marco. He did the drums for Rings of Saturn's latest album.

If you think this is fake... clearly don’t know Lord Marco. Marco Pitruzzela is an amazing drummer you should listen to, he has played in many bands, including Rings of Saturn

Im a good bit late on this video, but to clear up the critique. The kick is obviously triggered, the box is keeping the tom stand from tipping under his hard hits, and the china hit you didn't hear is simply because hes only using 2 overheads for the cymbals, and that china has to cut through that 20" crash.

100% triggers. Super common in this type of genre. Makes for a more constant sound when doing fast 32th notes or whatever it was. As for sampling it didn’t sound like it to me

@Souvenirs-band 2 жыл бұрын

Without the triggers on the bass the reverb starts to bleed between hits when your going that fast. I know it's possible to do without it, but it's a lot harder than using triggers.(and I'm sure he's just as clean without them).

Just incredible! I wonder if less drums make you better at faster pattern? Hmm, guess ill never know.

RoS? Fuck yea they’re legit they’re re-recording their first album with their current lineup their guitarists are insane the drummer is insane the fucking singer is insane the band as a whole is insanely talented

@taktyc 3 жыл бұрын

the whole video is using live sounds except the kicks which are obviously triggered the one china hit that didnt sound if you look closely is an accidental hit he hits it from the bottom up while trying to hit the floor tom so it was most likley removed just to kee p it accurate to the original track

@killdozer3464 2 жыл бұрын

amazing drummer, (and song), love the kit, I am a fan of minimalists kits. but the triggers and samples is where I tune out. I just cant get comfortable with the "perfect sound" of triggered samples, to me it sucks the soul and warmth of the drums. To me, in metal, the acoustic drums is what balances out the "metallic" sound of the electric instruments. To each their own, but regardless, Aaron kicks ass and Rings of Saturn has some great songs that I enjoy a lot.

Also he’s doing 32nd notes on that specific part, so he’s doing 16 between 1&2 and 16 between 3 and 4 because he’s ridiculous.

This guy is tight and speedy. I think there is a little more than the sticks and feet. Sounds and looks like a small bass. The growl of the bass seems to sync with the bass drum. Van damme he is good. I I also have a suggestion, tama artstar simon phillips 1985, the young master really tears it up.
