[hughman174]

@MrDrummermandan thanks!

[fatlosers1]

3:29 didnt have much flow. other than that great video

[hughman174]

@foreverchristreigns I would love to, but I'm not set up to do recordings anymore. I do love that song a lot and had always wanted to cover it

[Markisflippinsweet]

Everything about this guy's kit makes me mad. It's every brand I for some reason I don't like.

Pearl, Sabian, Wuhan, and even Evans.

Wow.

Off-topic I know.

[darcor2]

Wow, Dude, You so rock! Keep Rockin' for Jesus!!! Praise The Lord!!! Psalm 66:1

[hughman174]

@darcor2 Thanks friend! God bless you!

[armstrongbrosband]

nice fills

[hughman174]

@armstrongbrosband Thanks!

[hughman174]

@unlikeanyotherhuman thanks. some are b8 pros and some are agazarian

[JesseTorresrules]

hey stan! great cover!! i would like to know how does the b8 pro 16" med. crash sound?

[hughman174]

@JesseTorresrules Thanks! It sounds ok. Has a medium dark sustain. It's not quick and glassy like my 14" thin crash. I've heard worse. lol, but not a bad cymbal for the money

[DRUMST1X0NF1Y4]

Hey man great job! Keep playin' for Jesus! As Psalm 150:5 says: Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

[hughman174]

@DRUMST1X0NF1Y4 Aamen! my friend

[DRUMST1X0NF1Y4]

@hughman174 Do you know what the best heads to get for a PDP X7 maple kit? I've been looking at Evans EC2's and Aquarian Studio-X. I currently have Remo Ambassador's( cheapest head lol) Thanks! -Austin

[hughman174]

@DRUMST1X0NF1Y4 I personally like the Evans G2 coated. If like an open sound leave them alone but if you like a more recorded dampened sound by the Evans Erings for them. That's what I use

[DRUMST1X0NF1Y4]

@hughman174 Ok cool thanks buddy! -Austin

[DRUMST1X0NF1Y4]

@hughman174 Yeah I have the Erings. They help alot.... Also got moongel. I like a more low sound. I just thought like with Evans EC2's, they have a dampening ring with them.... Also does the Aquarian Studio X's.

[nathanielpick007]

hey man, how much was ur small splash? it looks like and 8" to me. Ive been looking for a little one that's either sabian b8 or b8pro.

thanks.

[hughman174]

@nathanielpick007 it was $25 at guitar center. made by agazarian

[Bazem2cars]

Nice one dude, keep it up 4 god :D I play drums too !!!1!!!

[hughman174]

@Bazem2cars thanks

[pwbball96]

although maybe a bit too much tapping on the cymbals in the quiet parts, but then again i guess you wanted to make the cover more interesting since the drums are the focus, but in my opinion all that tapping would be too much in a traditional band situation.

[hughman174]

@pwbball96 . Thanks for the kind words. God bless ya!

[pwbball96]

dude your fills are awesome! not all crazy or anything, but very creative and tasteful. keep it up!

[billyguitar57]

You are really good!!! I wish Icould play drums... I play guitar though

[hughman174]

[Jramsoebhag]

[hughman174]

[hughman174]

i'm sorry if you don't know this one. it was requested by a friend. now i'm really glad i got to know it b/c of it's message. that's the challenging and fun part of requests is sometimes having to do songs you don't know

[massive0random]

haha fair do's :D

[paulbalochefan]

I love this song.

[paulbalochefan]

thanks for doing my cover. may god bless you.

[hughman174]

[Shiffty05]

Awesome! sounds better then the original!

[hughman174]

aw now c'mon. lol. they have an awesome drummer. i made so many mistakes. but thanks, that really encourages me a lot

[Shiffty05]

Hey, every time you put a video on here your raising the bar. You have real talent. And to be using your gift for God, it's all the better. keep it up! =)

[hughman174]

thank you. i couldn't use for anyone else. He's done so much for me

[paulbalochefan]

yeah you were good. only if andy was still in the band.

[hughman174]

WHAT!? when did Andy leave the band? i wished they needed a half-way decent christian drummer. i'd be the first in line. lol

[paulbalochefan]

lol yeah. the new drummer is Brian Scurggin(his last name might be spelled differently) i forget how to spell it.) check wikipedia and type Casting Crowns. god bless you my friend.

[kdndrummer]

I love this song!!! it rocks!!

nice drum cover bro!

[hughman174]

thank you man!

[kalakauadude911]

Awesome drum cover and cool song I'm gonna favorite this video and god bless

[hughman174]

thanks friend. I really appreciate that

[wildbill1240]

such a good song (and your kick drum sounds great in this vid)!

[hughman174]

thanks Bill. I really appreciate that. It does sound unusually good in this vid. Funny how the sound's always different each time. Ah yes, the inconsistency of recording. lol

[wildbill1240]

Seriously...all it takes is the humidity to be different in the room and the drum heads will resonate differently and sound will travel better or worse...

[hughman174]

yeah, tell me bout it. and this humidity down south is a killer. lol

[Teeyahhhproductions]

Hey, let me tell you, your a inspiration to me in music, I play drums/guitar for my church in ohio. I love your style :)

-Scott

[wildbill1240]

where in Ohio?

[Teeyahhhproductions]

Mansfield, Church is named Journey Life Center

[wildbill1240]

cool, not too far from me.  I live in Hudson go to Parkside Church (home of Truth for Life)

[hughman174]

thanks bro. that really really means a lot. If I could just inspire one person it'd be worth it all

[Teeyahhhproductions]

It's all about praising god. Reaching out to get that one soul saved that you see sitting the one of the pews .

-Scott
