@Abcasd1- Lester does a regular double bass and then hits the bass drum with his drum stick at the same time.... I saw it in another vid with him in it
Does anyone know why lester switched sticks during the bridge and again in the beginning of the last chorus? Not that it isn't cool but I've always wondered why....
@ousoonerzrock what you mean by "are they alright?" You mean "are they ok after/for having left the band?" or "how are they doing?". Lester replied my emails some weeks ago. He's doing fine. Not sure about the bassist though. He's probably ok as well. :D
Pillar es genial, el batero le pega revacano al bombo, los guitarros y el bajista son buenisimos, el vocal tiene a pinta y todo para este genero y en definitiva cristianos el complemento de todo.....

Yeah of course its going to be slightly different live & the fact this song is more rapped in some bits like their old skool style way back in their early days like on the Above album, but he is moving around a lot on the stage, its pretty hard to sing and move around at the same time. Studio is going to be different in comparison to live performance. Roberts voice is amazing with songs like Simply and Rewind, this song is meant to be more punchy rather than a song to mega show off his voice
hes screwing up in the "let me hear your battlecry tonight" part....it may just have been his own choice to modify that part...but it sounds worse IMO.
@SgtTeeh you think? i know that very few bands can do this that is hard do in stage!! that drummer is great musician also all the band linkin park doesen't have that gift they are a lot far from this level this is the best band that i've been seen lately!! Pillar!! hwo AGREE???
this is the best band of christian rock-gospel, amazing so great. congratulations from colombia. i"m his number one fan. lester you are the best drummer of this music
Joey Avalos I believe. He's a guitarist for Starsgodim, along with former Pillar members Lester and Kalel. They don't sound anything like Pillar though.
No disrespect to any of you .... But SHUT UP and enjoy the music!!! from skillet to Pillar and stryper all these guys are great musicians open up your mind to something different and if u don't like it don't listen to it
Pillar is one of the most talented bands out there but lets be realistic. They have yet to reach Skillet status. Of course, Pillar has yet to reach their full potential. I think they're just gonna keep gettin better.
Then the fact that Skillet has done the same faster should imply that they are better. Not sayin Pillar isn't beastly. They are! I think the best concert ever would be Pillar Red and Skillet all headlining. They each have their different strengths. Skillet just seems to appeal to more people. All I'm sayin.
I get where your coming from...I think Skillet gear more too Youth...with the topics of their songs..when Pillar's music can go for anybody....which the topics can for whoever...it seems like youth focus on Skillet alot!
Skillet Has a big Rock band Image! And pillar doesn't! thats why people look more to skillet!
Actually skillet is also Grammy nominated and actually skillet has been around since 1996 whereas Pillar has been around since 1998. Both are amazing though!!!
I knew that...Some moron on here was "Skillet Is the best Christian Rock Ever" and saying everyone else sucks.He can't just respect every band for something unique.Although Pillar does have Better chops than Skillet...the drummer,guitarist,bassist,...etc! They've been doing it since they were little kids!
I actually think this performance is better than the album version. The drums just dound amazing. Two guitarists. Noah plays a cool tune in the background. The singer sings pretty good imo. I like how he sings the chorus. Lester is just going all out in the end.
Portnoy is great, I'll agree with you. BUT, Lester has 2 toms and he makes the kit sound just as big as Portnoy. I'm just saying, Lester uses a single kick pedal, phenomenal. Portnoy is awesome though, don't get me wrong.
Lester's and Portnoy's playing styles are very different, nigh incomparable. Portnoy is more of a straight rock/metal drummer with some jazz influence while Lester relies heavily on funk beats. To me, Lester's sound is significantly more technically creative, though Portnoy blows him away in terms of speed.
Also, Lester uses three toms: one mounted to the bass drum, and a floor tom on both his left and his right.
ya but im saying if portnoy had lesters set, portnoy could play better then lester on his own set. btw lester uses a longboard pedal not just a regular single pedal
He's uses a Dw 9000 kick pedal! bro they play different styles.....I know Portnoy...can't bring Lester's gospel chops...and I think lester could do pretty good against Portnoy and you don't have to have a million toms to sound good dude.We all know you like portnoy!
he uses a longboard pedal in this vid. portnoy doesnt need 1 thousand toms. yes portnoy is better then lester but theres guys who r better then both portnoy and lester also. portnoy plays experimental while lester plays rock/gospel. portnoy style is definetely alot harder then lesters
Who cares? whats your problem? Come on! they play different Styles,There's no such thing as "The Best Drummer" because everyone is different that means "NO COMPARISON"!!!.They both make a living at it,Lester's been a professional drummer since he was 15
im not saying there the best drummer. certain styles r more difficult then others. u can compare styles. now if they played the same style it might be different. granted there both good drummers for there style...experimental is way harder then rock. however latin jazz is probably the toughest and theres number of good drummers there
Listen I know you like Portnoy,we all see that.But you can't come to another drummer that plays different and say "Mine's the best" thats just childish man! Really! and it shows you don't know whst your talking about.And Btw the Lester plays for a country artist now named "Neal McCoy"
No one music is harder than another,because every different genre has something every drummer will want,or one style has influenced another over the years.Music is equal,everything is always different.One drummer might pick somthing up from one style that another drummer just can't get! Thats the beauty of it!!!! Every musician/Drummer is unique in their own way.....
yes certain styles r harder then others. and some drummers have a main style. letsers is rock and mike portnoys is experimental. experimental is way harder then just rock
Wrong again....Mike can't go gospel chops....and I bet he thinks those was hard....Every stytle has something hard about it....doesn't make it harder than another.
k first do u know for a fact tht mike cant do gospel. im pretty sure u dont know him. second YES CERTAIN STYLES R HARDER THEN OTHERS!!! ASK ANY EXPERIENCED DRUMMER!!!!
Does he? does his experience show it? does he play for gospel artists? I'm sure he can do some stuff but not the the extent Lester and other gospel drummers can! Listen carefully! One thing in one style might be hard for one drummer and then another is a master at it! Does that make it hard overall? NO different yes,every style has something a drummer wants! Period!
no but if u start a drummer from scratch... a person who learns rock will not be as talented as someone who learned jazz. u dont know mike portnoy gospel is prob boring to him. u duno how well he can play tht stuff so dont talk bout somoene u dont know
I've been saying that! duh!!!! Let me ask you something! Have long have your played drums? And name 10 other drummers and the style of music they play?
GO MARRY PORTNOY. who really cares if portnoy is better or worse. Are they fighting? no. Does Lester make pillar sound good? yea. BUT. Do you think that Portnoy would be caught making funk beats for Pillar? NO! Hed put this double pedal way over the top stuuf and this band isnt solos. Stop trying to rip Lester out of a great rep by comparing his one pedal standard set to a multi milion tom double bass extrordinare option drum set. They play differently. Lets compare lester to Slash? wow.
i went to a piller concert back in about 2002 and the guitarist had broken his leg the show before so he had to sit in a chair which sucked but it was a great show
i love this song!!!!!!

Lets compare lester to Slash? wow.

Lester was totally clowning when he threw the sick away and put a splash on his snare. That was total BEAST MODE!

Wow I didn't notice that lol. He's such a beast on drums. Whenever I play, I've adopted the motto "what would lester do?" lol.

i went to a piller concert back in about 2002 and the guitarist had broken his leg the show before so he had to sit in a chair which sucked but it was a great show
