It’s easy to beat yourself up over “chops.” Amazing drummers, like Aaron Spears, make it look so effortless – and they do it so fast that it’s almost impossible to figure out what they’re playing. But here’s the thing… All chops are simple patterns broken up around the kit. And you can play them too – as long as you know the pattern.

Aaron Spears teaches you chops to take your drum fills from ‘meh’ 👀 to ‘wow’ 🫶. It’s easy to beat yourself up over ‘chops.’ Amazing drummers make it look so effortless – and they do it so fast that it’s almost impossible to figure out what they’re playing. 🥁 Just always remember: Chops should never come at the expense of your groove.

Undeniable pocket. Wicked groove. Killer chops. Aaron Spears is pop’s MVP (you voted him ‘Pop Drummer Of The Year’ in the 2021 Drumeo Awards). But keep in mind that this isn’t how he’d play the song with Usher – he’s got more freedom here than for a general audience, where it’s more about serving the music than entertaining drummers. And, if we’re being honest, it’s more fun to play it and listen to it this way. 😏 | Drumeo

Aaron Spears' words resonate deeply, reminding us that the way we play is a reflection of our own authenticity not a performance for others' approval. His message transcends drumming, transcending to life itself, encouraging us to find our unique voice and stay true to our passion. Beyond his drumming prowess, Aaron exuded kindness and empathy that touch the soul.
