  • dude man!! I like this!!!!

  • Dude! you do a terrific job covering this song,god bless and keep up the awesome drumming!

  • what can I say......that would make Robert Sweet proud!

  • Love all the symbols. Just got my beginner set. lol. 38 years old and started playing over a year ago. took 30 years just to get the hand foot cooridnation down. Love this song. Always. Great job.

  • waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw awesooomee!!! really really awesome the way you use the tones,the rithym is awesomee!! great job! God Bless YOu dude!!

  • Awesome!!

  • Dude... LOVED the double bass fill towards the end. It probably goes without saying that you've made Robert Sweet Proud. I just don't understand why anyone would hit the dislike button, but what the heck, to each his own. Great Job!

  • how can you not like this??

  • well done dude!!!

  • gspot27,

    I just thought I'd tell you, your cover of this song has encouraged me to learn this song beat for beat. I'll post my cover soon. Thanks for the inspiration bro. Can't stop the rock.

  • the best drummer seen yet on utube

  • I like the double bass improv at the end! Excellent vid! I wish I had an isolated track of you on drums to jam with.

  • nice work!

  • Wow, awesome, awesome job! I was thinking about doing this cover but now after watching you play it I'm not sure if I can!! I will try though! :)

  • some parts off..not by much..keep it up..you'll get there

  • @mrbadass71 Oh my gosh, PLEASE! He did an awesome job on this song. You should post a drum cover of it since you imply you can do it better. :)

  • Shit. Now I want to play some drums :D

  • Nice job brother!!!

  • Hello gspot27 would it be cool to use this as a VS video?

    me play my drums and you with ur version?

    just please say yes

  • @AJMitchell777 What is a "vs" video?

  • @gspot27 Versus

  • @AJMitchell777 Go for it!

  • Hello Dspot27 would it be cool to use this as a VS video?

    me play my drums and you with ur version?

    just please say yes

  • You are a killer drummer its nice to see someone who isn't afraid to beat those drums within a inch of there life lol

  • TE SALE IGUALITO!!!

  • i've watched this vid at least 2000 times amassed at ur playing ability

  • Great job man. Nice to see a drummer thats so fluent and relaxed, but not to much so that it takes the dynamics out of their playing. You follow the artists/drummers song and dont go off into your own world overplaying all over the place. Overplay is overkill and overkill is overplay. Time and a place for everything. Thanks for sharing and many Blessings to you and yours ~ Blaise ~

  • you got a talent there dude keep the faith

  • six stars!

  • exelente aplicacion , muy bueno

  • in deed!!!

  • Excellent man nice balance between the original and ur adds keep rocking for Jesus...God Bless

  • Did you really can take the Fast as a Shark Accept, since you like to double pedal ...tks

  • mando bem cara... very good brother!!!

  • Glen, you rock. As a drummer and a huge Stryper fan people don't realize that Robert plays "simple yet complicated" stuff. And who cares if gspot is your name. Married people can have lots o fun. :) Appreciate the Malmsteen and DT stuff too. Now, how about Tom Sawyer or Red Barchetta? You can do it! (BTW, huge paiste fan too, hated zildjian except for ride once in blue moon)

  • nice wo pro

  • Great playing. All those cymbals!

  • Dude that was some really solid playing there.  Really good job. Keep up the good work.

  • oh sorry

  • you seem like a christian but ur username is gspot.

    hmmmmmmmmmm interesting

  • It started as a name of my website many years ago. The Glen Spot. So, it was shortened to me my email address, gspot27. G=Glen Spot=The site, now Youtube site, 27=was my age at the time. So, not what you may think.

  • sure it isnt.

  • @screamit1 does it matter what his youtube name is?

  • i think it's funny that all the haters could ever do was mock stryper for their belief in god, or their clothes. that's it. they could never argue that stryper wasn't a tight, ass-kicking metal band that was worthy of emulation. this was always one of my favorites from the 80's metal scene. thanks for posting. well covered, dude.

  • Thank you! That's what I'm talkin about!

  • That is very cool. my friend

  • wanna b my drummer?

    lol

  • Simplemente Grandioso!!!!!!

  • WOW!! Very clean sound you've managed to record. what an amazing rig.

    where are you from? I play bass. let's get a tribute band together!!!!

  • Awesome! Very Awesome!

  • Awesome cover man!! I´ve always loved Stryper, but this song has something special to me. You nailed it, from drummer to drummer. Great fun!!

  • Keep rockin man. I always enjoy this video. Good stuff.

    T

  • Meek does NOT mean weak!! Been watching you a year or so now. See ya in Heaven. Keep up the fire...

  • who does this guys play with? band?

  • u killed it, good job!

  • That is very cool. Robert's a stud on the skins and you nailed it. Love to see people cover the great ones accurately and cleanly. Again, very cool.

  • AMAZIIIING!!! \o/

  • I can never get tired of watching your stryper Vids over and over. After listening to stryper for 20 years, I never knew how intricate the drums in their songs were until seeing your play them. You make it look like cake.. Awesome! More stryper songs plz =0)

  • Total rimshot at 1:07. I can't believe you let that go Glen. Wow.

  • LOL..well, it's like having gas, sometimes you just have to let it go! :)

  • I heard you rip an egger at 2:09 but I wasn't going to mention it. How'd u make it thru the rest of the song?! :D

  • reminds me of sunday morning two weeks ago. rock the house!

  • Congratulations !!! Wonderful equipment and player ! very good job !

  • that cymbals are those especially the hi-hats

  • They are all Paistes. The hi-hats are 2000 Series Medium Hats.

  • Great drumming! Now all you need to do is grow your hair out like Robert's and you can fill in for him on the 25th Anniversary Tour!

  • yeah! great drumming! stryper rules!

  • Excellent!

  • Very Well done man.... Loved your video and love Robert Sweet

  • Comment removed

  • the one main thing missing is the hand behind the head move. i asked Robert about it last time i seen him he just does it and never knows he is doing it it's just a reflex to him.

  • love the dual pedal at 4:30. gets me every time...

  • Loved it! Great song,maybe my favorite from Stryper.Great job,you should do more songs off that album.

  • Caught the rim at 1:34. They have wonderful piano camps you should consider.

  • Thanks for watching! You're funny.

  • You should have filmed it Side-On.

    Awesome

  • Great drumming!

  • Damn Glen ...... ! I grew up listening to Stryper, and Bloodgood, et al. Wanna start a set list ? I got a decent bass player best bud, from when we were doing white metal back in the day, so all we need is a guitar virtuoso and there ya go ! :) Nice work. Wow. Like the double pedal work.....sweet ! SUBSCRIBED !!!

  • dam this niggas grooven

  • Nailed it. Nice work!

  • The extended version CD and Puerto Rico Tour DVD include Greatest Hits.

  • parabens,bom trabalho,grande baterista,abraço rogerio feres.

  • Awesome Job!! Well done... One drummer to another, Robert would be proud!! God bless you.

  • I siure hope that the members of the band have gotten to see this. From one drummer to another....that was awesome! God bless you my brother. I also have to agree with soulprovider915. I have played on many kits of many sizes. Now the amount of drums has no bearing on how good you are. But the bigger the kit, THE BETTER!. By the time I'm done with my kit, it will look similar to the one in this video.

  • Got symbols?

  • Good Band. Good song. Good purpose.

    Christ and His army will fight.

    Revelations 19:9-18

    Nice speed at 4:30 ;)

  • I remember practicing all this shit on the subway (great sunding floors) with a walkman. This guy must be rich with a rig like that, he hits like a jazz drummer. Noone ever bothered me either, I was young, with Jesus I guess.

  • love the song. not a big fan of religion, not trying to offend someone, i just dont believe in it...

    but i love the way the chorus especially sounds...

    i love your drum covers

    =D

    keep rocking

  • Awesome my brother! :0) from a fellow Christian drummer who grew up with Stryper, Petra, Norman, etc. Playing the skins myself for around 40 years now..... God had blessed ya, becareful to never take the Glory... continue to give Him the praise and you can never go wrong :0) Let us all continue to examine ourselves to see that we are still in the faith.... It is a fight, let us continue to fight on our knees inquiring of the Lords battle plan :0) Christ's Blessings!

  • Loooooove the tuning of your drum. Mind sharing that with us?

  • Well, there's nothing special. The heads are really old and I use normal tuning that has the heads very close to the same tension. There is no dampening on the snare or toms. The drums are birch. That's pretty much it.

  • Ok, and once you have tightened up the heads with your fingers do you go half a turn? A whole turn?

  • good job!

  • man, PERFECT !!

  • Big ass drumset man!

    wow!

  • When Soldiers Under Command first came out I was Stryper CRAZY!!! I love that album, and still listen to it. It never fails to put me in a good mood. You did a great job playing it. Robert Sweet would approve!!

  • I grew up when Stryper was BIG! I am not religious, I am not sure if I believe in God, I have my Issues with him if he is..... But I Remember Stryper and I liked some of there tunes, and this being one of them and dude you rocked!! that Man!! better late comment than never Lol....

  • AWESOME JOB!

  • man! you're amazing! i don't see any difference between you and robert when you played that piece. keep it up bro!

  • Man I could watch you play Stryper ALL day!
