Aaron Spears Plays "The Pretender" | Foo Fighters
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 фев 2024
- Aaron Spears was part of the Drumeo family. When he filmed with us back in 2022, one of the songs he wanted to perform was "The Pretender" by Foo Fighters. He loved this song - particularly, Taylor Hawkins' power and energy throughout the track. Tragically, since the time of filming this video, we've lost both Aaron and Taylor.
As a tribute to both drummers, we wanted to release this performance for Taylor's birthday which would have been this weekend. After speaking with one of Aaron's closest friends, Kaz Rodriguez, we learned that Aaron also wanted this performance released publicly on the Drumeo channel as his personal tribute to Taylor.
Aaron and Taylor - we miss you both. We know your drumming and music will continue to inspire drummers around the world for years and years to come.

Respect to Usher putting his empty kit on the stage during the Super Bowl.
I didn’t realize he did that 😭😭😭
Yeh I thought I saw 2 kits, why did he put his up there?
Oh I just saw online Spears used to play for usher? I had no idea
Really - didn't watch it ❤
this is so heartbreaking but so sweet
@@WD.909yeah his real breakout into the mainstream was with a cover of Usher’s “Caught Up”, in fact, that cover kinda single handedly blew up gospel chops and had a considerable impact on the popularity growth of that style of drumming in general.
Rest In Peace Aaron, thank you for inspiring so many of us with your abilities and your kind & loving soul.
And needless to say Taylor as well. Both gone way too early.
did he die from obesity ?
@@bvonm9557 Dude wtf? A person died and you asking this?
@elzeban it is a legit question. People die of something.
The ABSOLUTE best part of this video is his smile.
It’s like it’s impossible to find a video where he don’t smile. Dude loved his craft. And his life. Rip
yes, he looks so happy doing his thing
Aaron enjoyed the hell out of that song!
When you see that smile you know he loves whenever he plays the drums
RIP Taylor Hawkins and Aaron Spears 🙏🏼🥁. Taylor Hawkins is the reason why I started my drumming journey and skills. it's sucks that both Drumming legends are gone but their legacy will never be forgotten. ❤🥁🥁 Fly High 🕊
You forgot the 'not'
@@roccomartelly4773 sorry
What a sweet reminder of a two tragic losses in the drumming world. Ladies and Gentlemen, we never know when our time here will end, so live life to its fullest, love the ones you are with, and celebrate greatness as we strive to be great ourselves.
So true 😢
Damn straight.
Perfeitas suas palavras. Obrigado!
This is such a very moving gesture in Aaron and Taylor's memories.
May their drumming legacies stay bright for EVERLONG.
❤🥁❤
That power!!!! We love and miss you, Aaron!
Man, this is the most emotional I've felt watching drumeo yet. RIP to two absolute legends of the kit.
Same
The genuine smile that pops up when he nails his fills, you know he was loving every minute of playing that kit.
That snare got the BUSINESS.
Bittersweet video, watching a legend who's passed on cover a legend who's passed on. Thank God music doesn't die!
Agreed
We miss you Aaron and Taylor great fathers, husbands, mentors, drummers and all around great human beings
This man hits the kit with authority. Wow!
I’ve never heard someone play with such energy and perfect consistency. Almost like a body builder doing ballet effortlessly. Aaron is truly in a league of his own. RIP to a master gone too soon.
I love how Aaron ever-so gently sets down the sticks at the end after just banging the hell out of that snare. Farewell and following seas.
Crazy how much that snare detunes from the start to the end, what a beast. RIP 😢
I caught that, thought I was going crazy haha
That crash ride was on its last leg too lol
Yeah dude he’s smacking the fuck outta that thing. Crazy effortless power
Amazing power and consistency is his hits. And that's not an easy thing to achieve
He's coming down on it with so much force, it's like hammering it
What an awesome video. Aaron’s effortless power with Taylor’s timeless, authentic drum parts is such a vibe. Rest easy legends! 🙏🏼
Respect to usher for putting Aaron Spears set on stage at the Super Bowl.Aaron Spears is a legend.Great video!
RIP, and his energy and passion will be remembered. I dig how he tears it up on this Foos track and then gently lays down his sticks at the end.
He looks like he's having the time of his life, this is just such a great take and overall so wholesome.
RIP Aaron and Taylor 🤘🏼
R.I.P. Maestro, your Legacy will live on Forever!! Thank you for all the Knowledge and Talent you have Blessed us with. 🙏🙏🥁
Best rock song of the 00s in my humble opinion. Great performance, Aaron may and Taylor rest in peace in drum heaven
That snare though. I always envied Aaron’s right foot. Thank you Drumeo for sharing this absolute gem.
Another great musician, great guy that left us way too early. We miss you both, Aaron and Taylor!!
The older I get, the sadder peoples passing gets. Even total strangers
Sonder-ish
Man, what a wonderful video guys. But hard to watch knowing he’s gone, and he’s playing another great who left us. Still brought a smile to my face though.
Two great guys gone far too soon 😢 What an amazing and faithful cover of a Foo Fighters classic!
It's so sad watching and hearing two greats gone too soon. Forever remembered and will inspire for generations! RIP. That "great gig in the sky" would be unbelievable!!
Rest in power and groove, brother
Just saw this. Did not realize who he was, but Dang he is so powerful and precise. Unreal. Just serious power
I had no idea who Aaron Spears was until watching this. I googled, so sad he is no longer behind the skins. My take…. Brilliant drumming, fantastic attack. Also huge props to whoever set up these drums, the mics, the recording. Just Splendid !!! The crack of the snare, paired with deep Toms …. with a tone to make me smile.
No Better tribute to both than seeing Aaron covering Taylor’s work with an absolutely beaming smile, bags of enthusiasm and sone raw power in his sticks. Great stuff.
A phenom paying tribute to a force of nature------both gone, and sorely missed.
Brings a tear to the eye. Love watching anyone excel at something they love, and watching this dude play, you can just see how much he loved it. A fitting tribute to two monsters. Thanks for sharing.
RIP Aaron Spears this is also my favorite foo fighters song.
Two legends who are dearly missed, but their musical legacies live on. RIP Aaron and Taylor.
What an amazing drummer, Rest in peace Aaron and Taylor
He was so deep in that pocket, one of my favorite drummers since I watched him on a video many years ago
So much power and a gentle soul-
What a clean and powerful display of drumming, you could see the joy he had playing it. Just plain fun to watch!! RIP to Taylor and Aaron.
Thank you for sharing this, Drumeo. Thank you Aaron and Taylor for your inspiration. You are both sorely missed. ❤️❤️
Just filled with emotion watching him play. Beautiful talent and passion.

This is phenomenal. I still shed tears for Taylor often. Grateful this video exists.
This was so moving. Absolutely incredible drummers who touched so many people with their performances. I'll be sure that all my students see this video.
Rest in peace to both, and thank you Drumeo team for releasing this as a wonderful homage to Aaron. He played this so well too.
Such great drummers, such a great song. Their music will live on.
The ending did it for me though. Thanks for posting this Drumeo! 💙

brought me to tears

Wow 😮 chills watching this. He’s hitting so hard! So tasty and by the end the snare de-turned from the massive hits! RIP Aaron and Taylor.
Life is fragile people. Surround yourself with people who respect, are not judgemental and love you unconditionally...and ditch the rest. RIP Arron & Taylor.
Thank you for this. Rest in beats to two of the best
