he's my definition of the perfect drummer. he can groove. his chops r awesome. he's musical and he actually listens to what's going on and plays perfectly. if ur new to drumming this guy is the proper way to approach the instrument and play to a song 😀
Kayne Daly He’s a fantastic player,,,-- I wish they’d move away from covers or this kind of main stream pop sound that they seem to be going for,,,, It’s difficult because the vocalist is great so you want to use that voice BUT I’d like to see them just concentrate on instrumentals and composing,,, they have the talent.
Big facts my friend! Being an amzing drummer is not only having the skill, the talent and being able to execute intricate difficult fills, licks adn grooves. But perhaps the most important skill is knowing when, and what fits the song. I think of many metal drummer who are very talented and skilled, but much it it ends up being "look at how fast I can play and how many strokes I can fit into a song". Being able to pull back and add the accents and ghost notes that compliment each part of the song is where the sweet spot is. Aron and all the guys in the loops are absolute masters at this, which is why someone whos never held an instrument can listen to their music and be in love with the melody and the groove of their music, while anyone whos spent any amount of time learning an instrument immediatly appreciates the shear talent of these guys.
Many moons ago, I was in a studio with Aron, his father and his brothers laying down some bass tracks. Aron showcased his Porcaro feel by playing a loop for a tune for 5 minutes straight. After I laid down my parts, I had a break. Came back to the studio room and someone is shredding the most inside-out shit of a drum solo I ever heard. Of course it was Aron going off. Afterwards I told him he should play it live. “No” he Said with a bit grin. ”Can’t do that, you know”. Guess what? He can. What a great player. And you should hear him play rock....
These guys are amazing-every time I listen to them, I just love their sound and the way they play. What a group!!! And these guys are very humble-I love that too.
I remember when I saw their first youtube videos when they first released them and thought, damn that drummer is amazing. But then all these guys are great, their album is really fantastic, wish them a long and productive career.
I LOVE DIRTY LOOPS. All great musicians, with the exception of Buddy Rich, are ever so humble and that's what these three are. Like all great musicians they do their talking on the stage.

Dirty Loops is a Supergroup that has friendship at its core - and it has already survived one record label deal that maybe wasn't the right fit, and released a new EP, so I expect to see much more from them.
Sweden speaking. I love Dirty Loops and everything they have done. They are great musicians with individual skill and great coherence between them. They are amazingly skilled and they are the ones in focus. Just so great. Really looking forward to a possible next album as I really liked Loopified.
This was 7 years ago and wow how far they've. Still THE most underrated group that I'm aware of, but their stuff with Cory Wong was out of this world good. I can't wait to see whats next for these guys.
As (primarily) a drummer and bassist, it would be an absolute dream come true, to be able to jam with myself on drums with Henrik. I would absolutely love that.
Zach Relles Rely is the wrong word. Drummers that are as good as this guy don't use double pedals because they lack speed, they use them to achieve a sound that they otherwise can't. Even some of the best drummers have said that it's very difficult to use a double pedal.
You dont really need double kick pedal if you play for fusion jazz genre. They can slide the pedal so it's sounds double, but not constantly 16th.just in some part of the piece.
2.37 So theres playback on some of Jonahs singing Live? That´s disappointing. But he is a studiosinger after all. MJ had playback too. (But he was dancing ALOT too)
Their weakness is in their lyrics. Poetically they are way below their musical level. BUT I remember Mozart's operas have the same problem... I gladly endure the lyrics to enjoy their mastery.
@@juancrespo8140 Yes. But you also have to consider that its purposefully written like that most likely resemble current pop music. After all they started out making fusion out of cheesy pop songs with terrible lyrics and that's what they got known for.
@@juancrespo8140 YES!! These guys are really monsters and I think maybe it's worth now to start digging some brazilian music & lyrics: the deepest and richest in the world. That would be a top-notch combination, fore sure...
Not sure why all the porcaro comparisons.. dude never passes up an opportunity to play a wanky fast fill.. jeff never did this and always played -or didn’t play- the perfect fills. Mind you, awesome drummer, but I wish I didn’t know how great his chops are because for me it sometimes ruins the great tunes they are playing.. but I guess that’s their thing

@@ambroulard you’ll love Songs For Lovers!! Aron and Henrik’s side project :). Also some songs in their album Turbo
Monster drummer. Monster band.

Such a good story ☺️
And yeah, I’d like to hear him play rock!
You hear that.....ToTo...Jeff Poracaro....Only legends come from that and includes this man right here...Aron Mellergardh!
Awesome video! Aron and the rest of DL are amazing musicians. Loved this!!
Aron is one of the best drummer in the world. Everything he does is music.
These guys are amazing-every time I listen to them, I just love their sound and the way they play. What a group!!! And these guys are very humble-I love that too.

So much talent, so underrated. Great show in Denver last year!
These guys were meant to play music together, so much talent...
My favorite drummer of our time!
one of my favorite drummers!
Aron is a awesome drummer and the other band members are great also...
What a drummer… 🙏
Dirty Loops, such a unique band 🔥🔥🔥
This kid is on another level.... the highest! x

Amazing drummer and not arrogant. 'Nuff said.
Aron, we are glad you guys formed the group !!!

thanks you Sweden for producing this amazing band,great guys,good mgr/producer;I dig them endlessly. "Baby" proved a good choice-just a little bit.
He is awesome drummer!!!
Great band. I really do enjoy their songs as well as their friends live performance. Simply great and talented.
Please erase "friends" in that sentence.
AARON YOU ARE THE GREATEST "EVER".
3:59 that kick lick gets me every time.
3:46 signature fill oh yeh, love it
Sweden speaking. I love Dirty Loops and everything they have done. They are great musicians with individual skill and great coherence between them. They are amazingly skilled and they are the ones in focus. Just so great. Really looking forward to a possible next album as I really liked Loopified.
Just freaking awsome!!!
Love him! Super talented.
Aron is absolutely phenomenal!
Awesome!
Dude is insane.🔥🔥🔥

Sweden have produced some fantastic bands and musicians

The dude is pure fire 🔥
Such a great Band!!!
crazy inspired by this band
He's an awesome drummer.
Humble perfect drummee
how are you so modest when you're the best drummer in the world ?! 😳
Red Hot Chili Peppers, Toto and Pat Metheny Group ! What references !!
You my friend, are an inspiration.
great interview! :) love you all guys!
FANTASTIC THE BEST!!!
Fan over here...you are soooo dope!!!!
Love that Aron has the opportunity have fun with his mates. It shows.
The coolest part about this guy is he doesn't rely on a double kick pedal
Zach Relles Rely is the wrong word. Drummers that are as good as this guy don't use double pedals because they lack speed, they use them to achieve a sound that they otherwise can't. Even some of the best drummers have said that it's very difficult to use a double pedal.

I love the sticks of vicfirth real nice to touch and durability is perfect, I only use and recommend vicfirth.
Man. That crowd. I feel like it makes more sense for them to play in dance clubs.
Innovative Percussion sticks rock! Nashville Tennessee
Most plays the drum to the music. Aron plays the INSTRUMENT
love this band...where is the new song! Dont stop pleasee...
Kinda looks like Edward Norton!
Totally. Cuter version, in my opinion, lol
😊 exact
Totally, yeah!! Hahaha
Yes. Especialy when shown from profile.
Dirty Loops rule!!!!
That right foot! What a beast.
Monster drummer
Same Quality like Level42 I like
The big band approach is viscerating.
Dirty Loops, Jacob Collier, Snurky Puppy make me feel both good and a shit at the same time
why are we ignoring the fact that he talks about Toto AND Pat Metheny Group? :))
YES!!! PM is a legeng himself and more than deserve this mention...
Dude, you are such a pocket drummer.. just leave me like..😥😢😅😎❤❤❤
he looks like edward norton!
precis lagom!
Great Band........
At last another Swedish monster!

Realy nice
I thought Mike Portnoy was the best drummer ever. Woohoo go Aron! This guy's has chops on top of chops
good stuff
is this a bit of the kit used in Run away ?
Não Precisava Humilhar"
when is the signature stick coming out pleaseee
Te new Neil Peart!!
what a monster
Damn his style is so similar to Brookes Wackerman. He even looks similar haha.
2.37 So theres playback on some of Jonahs singing Live? That´s disappointing. But he is a studiosinger after all. MJ had playback too. (But he was dancing ALOT too)
Brasileiros que sabem o que é músico bom comentem.
I love that he is playing barefoot :)
At 3:36 his shoes are behind the kit
The teachers.
Toto? Nice influence Aron.
So Jeff, Simon or both?
I would say probably both
Simon was never even close to Jeff if you ask me. But you didnt 🤣
The highlights on this video makes it seem like he's going to give pick-up advice
The band with no 🎸
Most least known Monster Drummer!!! Dude get a youtube channel!!!

So you never heard the song Breakdown ?? Come on! Toto is a garage band after you've heard that song !!!!
he should loosen up his cymbals
the vocal style kinda ruins the magic the bass player and drummer are creating..
Очень переоцененный юноша, игра рваная, дёрганная, не внятная ...
Awesome!
