Wtf I just found out this guy plays in Infant Annihilator, Black Tongue and Rings of Saturn. What the fuck?! I feel stupid and ignorant, but amazed above all. Now I get it , Lugal Ki En is about Aaron Kitcher visiting Earth
+Janos Dm I dunno about that speed consistently but i do know For Decapitation Fornication he's hit 20 noted a second for the double bass for a few parts.
+Janos Dm the latest video on this channel is 320bpm by Aaron that is at a constant, but he can stab about 350bpm for a fraction of a second at a time.
It's not about bpm bro... Im not a drummer and I can play 350bpm no problem....just play double whole notes...if hes playing 32nd notes in 350bpm then that is impressive...or in other words a better measure is how many notes per second
***** It's an electric kit that's being run into a DAW with superior drummer. Besides, half the people bitching about triggers have no idea what triggers are.
wow, Aaron Kitcher is a badass. it doesn't matter that he's on an electric kit, there is still no denying that this man has talent. anyone who watches this should feel honored to see someone handle a song like this so effortlessly
I notice if you watch his feet at 1:33 he kept playing double bass even though in the audio the double bass stopped for like a second, and also the fast double bass parts in the video he looked more like he was playing 16th note triplets instead of 16th notes single strokes, and he was also getting a pretty high beater swing at 297 bpm which is extremely hard to almost impossible at that speed. just to let you guys know I'm not hating on Aaron, he's a huge inspiration and i do believe he can play that fast. but in my opinion the audio you hear are programed drums so that it sounds like he's playing really tight
@@SeanyKrabs the reasonw hy he is watching the camera most of the time is, first take the camera did not record but the performance was better. so he took the audio together with the video of the second take.
1:33 that looks stop for me of course the pedal are still moves after you stop, but it's not hit the bass how can he show cheat drumming for competition?
+centralscrutinizer66 Lol the trigger debate seems useless for people now, its been posted about 3 years ago and he allready won the competition xD I still want to know what drum set is he using it sounds so good .-.
Yeah, I know this is old footage, but what competition? fastest double kick? He may be using a Roland kit, I'm guessing. I don't know much about the guy other than hearing his band, that....to...me sounds like every other death core band. He may be playing jazz by this point, I don't follow.
True, but a drummer that good should be thinking about diversifying if they're planning on doing it for the long haul. Dave Lombardo is the model I'm half referring to. Also Mick Harris from Napalm Death who went on to do a projects involving Bootsy Collins and now does ambient last time I checked.
Lol, had a go on my drums for the first time in about 4 years after watching some of Aarons vids. Know now why i don't play any more. Such skill, keep up the astonishing work Mr. K
Triggers don't make anyone play more "accurately" or evenly. Simply what they do is act like a microphone except they react when they sense vibration, once the vibration is picked up, it is sent to the drum module for whatever sound you're putting out of it. The only thing that can make anyone play more accurate is practice. Not triggers, I wish people who thought the same way about triggers as you do got behind a triggered kit and experienced what it's like, same shit as playing normal drums, just amplified with triggers.
Dude, look at my picture, what am i playing? A triggered kit. I have a Roland TD-9. Everybody was making trigger comments and i said "trigger OR NOT this is clean and accurate", which it is, triggered OR NOT. I don't even know what you're going on about, I mean no shit dude tell me more i've only played for 40 years.
he's very disciplined on his techniques, and i'll be the first to admit that. quite honestly though, this does nothing for me. and it's not just because of his drumming, it's the music entirely.
wow, i was waiting the whole competition for you to enter, and i'm glad you didn't disappoint. absolutely incredible, you're a fucking sick drummer man
People only think Arron is the best drummer in the world just because of his ridicolous speed. Speed doesn't mean jack shit my friend. I bet you Arron couldn't play a Foo fighters or Dream theatre track.
Niko Aguilera Dream theater, probably not, that shit's pretty fucking complex. But Foo Fighters...? Lol may as well have said Metallica, it's not like their drums are special in any way at all.
I agree with you there bro!!! His double bass drumming is beyond anything I have ever witnessed! I am a drummer myself but this is freakish right here!
Triggers are used on ACOUSTIC kick pads to make the sound of each hit more even and louder/quieter at the users' discretion. They have no effect on speed, and would do nothing to and (probably not even clip onto) an electric kit.
Infant Annihilator even stated that the only reason why they never went live was because Arron couldn't always be drumming that fast. It literally kills his legs. Which is why they stuck with being an internet band. Also they're getting back together.
Not at all. If that would have been the case, with how much attention and love the band got from fans, they would have traveled to America or had Dan travel to the UK. Regardless, they're making new music. So yeah.
Triggers are basically amps for drums. They make sounds that are acoustically impossible. The purpose of triggers is to make each stroke on the drum the same volume no matter the power of the actual stroke. Let me explain it this way: the faster you go on the pedals, the less power you're putting into them, that happens naturally. So to play at 300 and up at 16th notes, you're gonna need a shit ton of speed, thus less power. Acoustically (mind you, some electric kits come triggered by default) the sound you're gonna get will be far too quiet to hear because there is literally no power. Add to the fact that Kitcher uses direct drive pedals, that's literally an auditory impossibility. Triggers make the strokes that would be too quiet, louder so that they sound powerful. Personally, I dislike triggers, but it doesn't mean the one using them doesn't have skill. His hands are still insane.
he is in pain while he is drumming, he goes so fast that his legs, feet, ankles, shins, arms and wrists are in pain. so he doesnt stop and he goes as fast as he can
Guillaume Grandadam Triggers don't make you play faster, they make the volume level more "equal" and allow the sound of each hit to be heard more clearly. People shit on triggers a lot but really they're pretty hard to play with since if you miss a hit or put an extra in, EVERYBODY will hear it. If anything, the bounce from the E-Kit would make more difference than the triggers.
I noticed towards the end (after 3:20) that your left pedal was moving around :)) You should get a drum mat, if you don't have one already. That's some sick drumming! Keep it brutal! \m/
its called put the beaters as close to the head as possibly then shake your feet. its kinda cheap and would suck on a acoustic set. but for the slower parts he uses heal up/floating
holy shit dude this is amazing. I always have trouble playing on electric kits and can never get anything to sound as tight as i want it (then again alot of the time i have trouble on my acoustic kit) but still, this is intense!!
2:36 takesa some serious skill and i think he uses alot of double kicks which is why u dont see him using his knees as much but im no expert and yea he uses triggers but who fuckin cares triggers just make it sound more even
The speed is important if you want to play metal, just take a look to metallica and sepultura careers, stinks after they stop going fast, Aaron, you´re a beast, some shitty people could think that what you´re doing its easy because you do it naturally, que se jodan!!! no pares!!!

Yes. And I will be doing at some point in the future :)
This is how I discovered Thy Art Is Murder, thanks Aaron Kitcher
x2
I liked before shit like pop and that crap, but thanks to black veil brides that was the first band i knew, i found the real music
Same. \m/
Yup
It's not quantised. All I've changed is the velocity in some parts because my kit is fucked
"Changed the velocity" lol
Wtf I just found out this guy plays in Infant Annihilator, Black Tongue and Rings of Saturn. What the fuck?! I feel stupid and ignorant, but amazed above all.
Now I get it , Lugal Ki En is about Aaron Kitcher visiting Earth
Aaron was called to make druemz for Lugal Ki En, no more, no less. But it still turned out amazing and almost felt like a collab between RoS and IA
Mister Sister Fister, ROS, Infant Annihilator, and Black Tongue
Literally the best Deathcore drummer of all time.
+Janos Dm I dunno about that speed consistently but i do know For Decapitation Fornication he's hit 20 noted a second for the double bass for a few parts.
+Janos Dm the latest video on this channel is 320bpm by Aaron that is at a constant, but he can stab about 350bpm for a fraction of a second at a time.
I believe in this video he hits around 21 notes per second...so Lee can do it too I guess
It's not about bpm bro... Im not a drummer and I can play 350bpm no problem....just play double whole notes...if hes playing 32nd notes in 350bpm then that is impressive...or in other words a better measure is how many notes per second
+Janos Dm take the triggers away from him and he's nothing special.
Everyone is complaining about "triggers" when he is using an electric drum kit, fuck.
***** IT makes me laugh and pissed at the same time
Triggers or not, he still fast..
If people didn't use triggers then it would all just run together into one single sound.
***** It's an electric kit that's being run into a DAW with superior drummer. Besides, half the people bitching about triggers have no idea what triggers are.
what are triggers?i've been watching his playthroughs and people keep bringing that up
Aaron Kitcher, God of the drums
Is good but the real god is lord marco
Joey Jordison** but gotta give Aaron credit he's a beast
bro have you seen Lombardo play?
Aaron's blast beats are So fucking effective
Extremely.
Nice.
wow, Aaron Kitcher is a badass. it doesn't matter that he's on an electric kit, there is still no denying that this man has talent. anyone who watches this should feel honored to see someone handle a song like this so effortlessly
Imagine entering an online drum competition thinking you may have a chance at winning and this guy is one of the entries😂
BTW, You possess INSANE speed on those double pedals. LIKE HOLY SHIT.
Yeah.. Infant Annihilator is my favorite they are so good!
I notice if you watch his feet at 1:33 he kept playing double bass even though in the audio the double bass stopped for like a second, and also the fast double bass parts in the video he looked more like he was playing 16th note triplets instead of 16th notes single strokes, and he was also getting a pretty high beater swing at 297 bpm which is extremely hard to almost impossible at that speed. just to let you guys know I'm not hating on Aaron, he's a huge inspiration and i do believe he can play that fast. but in my opinion the audio you hear are programed drums so that it sounds like he's playing really tight
or his camera is bad
Brandon Schecker probably removed it in the midi
@@SeanyKrabs the reasonw hy he is watching the camera most of the time is, first take the camera did not record but the performance was better. so he took the audio together with the video of the second take.
1:33 that looks stop for me
of course the pedal are still moves after you stop, but it's not hit the bass
how can he show cheat drumming for competition?
Does anyone else love his Bass drum sound?
His sound altogether is nuts, but be careful not to get drawn into the trigger debate.
+centralscrutinizer66 Lol the trigger debate seems useless for people now, its been posted about 3 years ago and he allready won the competition xD
I still want to know what drum set is he using it sounds so good .-.

+centralscrutinizer66 Lol it would be funny if he played Jazz, i mean after this drum cover its hard to see him feeling a slow grove xD

Aaron is literally the most badass drummer or one of them at least but in my opinion he's the best
Problem is you're seeing him play along to programmed drums and not hearing what he's doing
Behindthen0thing And the problem is that you are jealous, sweetie. 😉
@@behindthen0thing525 it's because he's using triggers
@@behindthen0thing525 not a problem in my eyes
Lol, had a go on my drums for the first time in about 4 years after watching some of Aarons vids. Know now why i don't play any more.

Um. It's an electric kit. You can only trigger acoustic sets.
Wow, is this a joke comment? Did you actually read any of this?
Tim Quinn What? Me? I was just responding to the first comment the guy made.
Any one that talks shit about this dudes skill should feel the urge to prove there worth
thank you
their*
he's very disciplined on his techniques, and i'll be the first to admit that. quite honestly though, this does nothing for me. and it's not just because of his drumming, it's the music entirely.
+MegaVapes They're*
wow, i was waiting the whole competition for you to enter, and i'm glad you didn't disappoint. absolutely incredible, you're a fucking sick drummer man
Aaron is the only drummer i would pay to see a solo show, I could watch this dude drum for hours.
This dude is on a whole other level.
why are u not like incredibly famous?! u need to get recognized for this. This is true talent!
Ever since my friend showed me IA I have fallen in love with Aaron's drumming 0-0
the best drum cover of world!!!!!!
He is honestly the best drummer in the world that i've seen, he's just so smooth with it and has unbelievable speed
People only think Arron is the best drummer in the world just because of his ridicolous speed. Speed doesn't mean jack shit my friend. I bet you Arron couldn't play a Foo fighters or Dream theatre track.
Kye Clark I don't know if you are serious or not lol, a 5 year old play dream theater and foo fighters
Niko Aguilera Dream theater, probably not, that shit's pretty fucking complex. But Foo Fighters...? Lol may as well have said Metallica, it's not like their drums are special in any way at all.
I love watching people in the comments and how they make their raging jealousy very apparent.
My favorite drummer
I agree with you there bro!!! His double bass drumming is beyond anything I have
ever witnessed! I am a drummer myself but this is freakish right here!
im not even really to big of a fan of this music but every time i see a new upload i watch and i am always amazed. do more covers! :)
Is he looking at the camera most of the time??
+Joey Allseeing yes lmao
Even on electronic drums, your covers are amazing. Thy Art Is Murder is fucking sick
I like the way you record your vids in each room of your house!!! Amazing drumming men, you rulez...
Triggers are used on ACOUSTIC kick pads to make the sound of each hit more even and louder/quieter at the users' discretion. They have no effect on speed, and would do nothing to and (probably not even clip onto) an electric kit.
he actually looks like almost floating when he full speed... >_
Ye it is a mix of floating and swivel tecnique
Infant Annihilator even stated that the only reason why they never went live was because Arron couldn't always be drumming that fast. It literally kills his legs. Which is why they stuck with being an internet band. Also they're getting back together.
Never heard this, presumed it would be the fact they're a UK band and their vocalist at the time was American.
Not at all. If that would have been the case, with how much attention and love the band got from fans, they would have traveled to America or had Dan travel to the UK.
Regardless, they're making new music. So yeah.
True, I am excited for it.
@@heeldroe do you think soil the stillborn an entire 3 minutes song on 320 bpm with single strokes is possible? I don't think that is humanly possible
@bokeh18 say that to yourself...
BEAST 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
AWESOME!!! And sound as well
THIS IS THE MOST INSANE THING IVE EVER FUCKING SEEN, THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD!!!!!!!!
damn man, your fills are crazy tight. well put together for sure.
Double kicks are heel, toe, heel, toe and with triggers it falls out perfectly
Awesome job, man. One of my favorite tunes too. \m/
Never played it haha
deserves the win , super spot on !
That was such an honest answer. I have no clue who you are, but I respect you.
Holy hell dude, awesome right there. Been checking out your band this week, crazy shit! (and awesome).
Best drum cover, really
I used to think Lee was all speed and not much else, but after playing with them last night, holy shit. Lee is awesome. Aaron is dope too.
Thats a pretty weak insult kiddo
racist much. jesus.
Drew Drew
wot
I haven't even watched this yet and I know you're gonna win.

Personally, I dislike triggers, but it doesn't mean the one using them doesn't have skill. His hands are still insane.
RevolutionInsignia he can do that just as fast on an acoustic kit...
Bullshit he can do this shit on normal drums
Great job, you won. Congrats!
Guy like you can touch the pedals so fast
you are totally awesome more
one day i play drums so when you
Gosh you're so amazing man, thanks for covering this awesome song you should totally do signal the firing squad.. your band is the best ever
Nobody can beat Aron Kitcher.
Samrat Boro I don't think Lee Stanton approves of this comment
Samrat Boro but Aaron is inhumanly good too
Love to here you on a acoustic kit
What pedals are those? They look really cheap which makes it even more unbelievable that he can get such speed on the kicks!!
Yes I think they are chain pedals. It is insane.
Dat fuckin' gravity blast :V
bruno moreira
you sir are one fucking amazing drummer!!!
I love how 3/4 of the time your staring at the camera, this is just a walk in the park for u lol
Mitch.
How is his kick so fast? Doesn't look like he's playing heel-toe and there's basically no swivel. Or is he just so quick I can't see it?
he is in pain while he is drumming, he goes so fast that his legs, feet, ankles, shins, arms and wrists are in pain. so he doesnt stop and he goes as fast as he can
Low frame rate on camera
it's because he is using triggers

iFlare Triggers make the hit less tiring so you can kick faster, that was my idea ^^
Insane,awesome playing man :)

Why did it take me this long to discover this band!!?? then this video!
this would be awesome dude!!
my drummer best aaron beautiful!!!!!!
That's my band haha :P
Can you do a drum cover for blasphemy
Crazy double bass playing
You can look at the pedals. They're medium range away from the bass drum. He's doing 'full strokes'.
amazingly on-time. nice job man
holy shit dude this is amazing. I always have trouble playing on electric kits and can never get anything to sound as tight as i want it (then again alot of the time i have trouble on my acoustic kit) but still, this is intense!!
is there anything Aaron can't play?
he can't play without triggers :P
I'm just trolling by the way
NotYurBusiness haha there actually are a couple vids on youtube of him playing with an acoustic set WITHOUT TRIGGERS OMG
I Know I was just trolling he's pretty friggin' badass, I really dig his work !
Kalyan Shulman lol you can't read
he probably cant play much outside of metal.
You are one insane drummer
his left double bass pedal rotated.. that is so hard to step on, the beater become hard to touch the bass. what a strong legs and machine gun speed
Congrats man.
dude, amazing
I covered this song and my eyes were glued to my set... If you watch him he looks back at the camera -_______________-
I am fucking in awe and so jealous of your foot control, I can barely do 200
YESSS THANK YOU GOD! HE'S STILL ALIVEEE!!!!!!!!
2:36 takesa some serious skill and i think he uses alot of double kicks which is why u dont see him using his knees as much but im no expert and yea he uses triggers but who fuckin cares triggers just make it sound more even
He doesn't heel-toe just heel-up & twitch muscles
My shins hurt from watching this
This is really interesting. The drums sound exactly like the recording of The palpable leprosy of pollution. The drum sound. Thats Kinda cool.
Laceration Penetration.... Decapitation Fornication... You can see the TAiM influence even in the name of their first most famous song
The fact that you can play in that particular seat
The speed is important if you want to play metal, just take a look to metallica and sepultura careers, stinks after they stop going fast, Aaron, you´re a beast, some shitty people could think that what you´re doing its easy because you do it naturally, que se jodan!!! no pares!!!
This real to elektronic drum. Fucking good technic stamina. Salute dude! Hhehe
damn dude this is awesome :'D
ill speak for thy art is murder here: you won.
dude you have to win that was fucking flawless!
I'm a guitar player but this inspires me alot to play drums too
Have you ever heard of the band Infant Annilhilator? You should cover their song Decapitation Fornication.
this is like the 40th time ive watched this and i still dont understand how your pedals dont explode
id also like to see a cover of shadow of eternal sin? ^.^ you make the perfect drum covers ive ever seen!
wot in laceration penetration
Wot in decapatation fortication
Wot in Neonatalimpalionecrophiliation wut in Gluttonous Abomination
jesus christ you're amazing dude
He kind keeps looking at something else that not the drum, like TV or something.. just perfect.
left side of double pedal at 3:48 :)
3:38
Amazing
you should cover "As blood runs black" that would be so sick!
Wow, those insane speeds man. Hats off to you in absolute respect.
