What's up with the pink Mickey Mouse tanktop? LOL...seriously though, sick solo.

@drummerboyfromspace Louie is all over Mickey Mouse. Saw them in Budapest recently and Louie was wearing Mickey shirt. Pink was just fashionable at the time :-D

I have had Petra music since the 80's, but there music came alive to me in 2003 when I went through a particularly rough patch in my life. I was very blessed to be able to attend one of the farewell tour concert at a small church in Visalia, California.

It was around the same time (2003) that I dicovered Petra but payed a closer attention only since 2006 or so so I completely missed every opportunity to see them live. But God still spoke and speaks through their music to me. God bless you, brother

TIght groove at 1:41. I grew up listening to Louie. Great, Solid Drummer. And a good showman as well. If you never saw him live, you missed a real treat.

I actually became fan of Petra 3 years after they disbanded ... I missed everything.

The best Christian drummer ever!!!

My main musical inspiration!

[3nails3days1way]

Awesome drummer, definately one of the very best. FYI-in all the years of his being in Petra, I have rarely seen him without a Mickey Mouse shirt!

I was also there for all of the rehersals the band were real good guys no prima donas here all they wanted to do was spread the word of Jesus

[drummerboyfromspace]

I had the privileage to drive the full band around for a week in Northern Ireland

Louie even had a 24carat gold Mickey Mouse watch on

[Calbenmike]

He was always my favorite Petra band member. Phenomenal solo.

[Aaronluver9875]

Thats my dad everyone isnt he awesome!

[Rawk4Life]

You need to check out Ted Kirkpatrick of the Christian thrash band Tourniquet. He definitely has better chops on drums. But Louie Weaver is still a great musician.

I love Louie for his part in Petra. The guy is a master of what NOT to play. His parts in the songs are tasteful and complimentary to the song; more so than many out there. The guy knows how to set up a groove better than most.

That said, this solo is not so great... actually kinda bad. I know I'll get all kinds of hate messages in reply, so I'll say up front don't bother, I don't care. I've been playing drums most my life, and I know good, and this is not it.

[MrDeSouza91]

the guy is an epic drummer....glad to see him back with Petra again ;)
