yo bro i always used this vid as inspiration but how did you tune your toms to sound like that or is because of the drum heads you used i have a tama set but i cant get it to be as smooth as yours
@slepysmurf - Hey man. It's some-what to do with the heads but also the tuning. Find the range of the drum... That will help. I normally do the bottom head slightly tighter than the batter head
Man you are blessed my brother in Christ.. I have been trying to get this song for a few weeks now. First time playing drums so im jumping out there on faith. I know God will guide me as he did you keep it up and be blessed..
@d4c4life man its kicking my tail but I have been playing other songs trying to find simpler ways to play them. What i had to do with this song was break it down to the basic beat you be doing alot of extras in there i cant handle those right now. but pray for me brother.. maybe i can send you a disk from church and you can tell me what you think. is that possible?
Thanks for your comment! Great musicians come from the church and great musicians also don't! I'm glad that our feel and sound is liked by so many people all over the world!
Brov! All praises to God.. You are very good at what you do.. Keep it up- just praising the Lord! Oh and, can you give any tips on how to improve timing on the drums (fills)..
I know the African American gospel musicians are champions in this kind of playing but if we must imitate, let us imitate them fully. They never sound off!
Good song; My problem though is with the keyboardist. It makes a song sound much better if all the stringed instrumentalists keep to the basic progression and rhythm of the song. In other words, the keyboardist and bassist should basically punch in with the kick of the drummer. Slurring or dragging some odd chords just makes the song sound awful particularly for this video where the bass cannot be heard.
You don't work!!!! Every bit of worship music is centered around The piano! It flows with the keys the vocals are singing! Most of the worship music in America uses Piano,look up Israel and New breed...piano never drags a song! You must not have a good ear!
Thanks man I was just telling someone that said "Keys don't need to be in the band" I play for this church now...that once their original drummer left.They looked for new ones...and nobody would do because they couldn't play along with the keys! I can so I got the gig,even if you don't play worship music....as a musician you have to play with anything! And especially if you want to be pro!
okay this may sound a little weird, but it is so weird, every time i see an African American playing drums its amazing, and this practically blows away any other worship drumming ive ever seen. Keep rocking dude!
yes yes yes matthew u gud jus like ya cousin jamain me an him r rivals lol watch owt for me an him on Bethel national chior lol peace bro to god be the glory
man...your a beast, keep doing your thang for God and he will keep on increasing...just 1 question, what drums , and drum mics are you using? sounds really good
That's a Pearl ELX! Don't know what the mics are, hadn't seen them before and didn't check them out!
I like 2 use Shure Beta 91 (sometimes with a Beta 52 for some extra beef) on the kick drum. Shure SM57 on snare top and bottom, sometimes on ti=oms but i do like the Beta 98's. Shure SM94's are cool for hi-hats and overheads.
I like the Audix mics as well but Shure are more popular.
Hi, i think its 'mark beswick and the group 'power praise'. D4c, ur a good drummer man, ur groove is tight and you dont overplay! You and da band keep it tight. Luvin it. Im also a drummer. play at church too. Based in london. No drummin videos yet tho lol! stay blessed bro.
i really love ur style of playing. The Lord has really blessed u with a great gift. would you be able to do a dreak down of the fill you did at about 6:03.
you remind me of teddy capbell... I like his playing as well as your playing... I'm asian drummer... but I alway wanna play and practice to be like black gospel drummer... you!!!!!!skillfull & powerfull...it's fantastic!! awesome!! keep going to praise and play for GOD! you awsome guy!! thank you for showing what you play!
One of the best things you can do 2 improve speed without practicing is 2 make sure sure you're using good technique! Not a specific technique but one that works for you!
Holding the sticks right, learning how 2 control the sticks and being comfortable with your technique will instantly improve your speed.
Practicing (correctly) will do that for you anyway. I have 2 confess tho, i haven't had a proper practice in about 3-4 years. lol
Excellent drumming. I enjoy your playing. Who sings this version of the song?
