Probably the most simple version I've played for this song yet. I focused way more on pocket and limited the fills to keep the groove strong. That sounds like a Star Wars saying, "the groove is strong within you" or something odd like that. Well, here's a bunch more info from copy and paste, but I hope this video helps you learn the song if that's what you're after!
Mix is my IEMs together with the livestream mix by Ryan. Such talented friends!
Thanks for checking out my videos! I really appreciate it! My goal with this channel is to create a resource for worship drummers to be able to see how I play songs live and how I make changes often to simplify the arrangements for our church. Most of my videos are just simple IEM (in-ear monitor) mixes from directly on stage. I really hope this helps you learn the song for Sunday or at least have some takeaways for how to play this song and how to make some simple changes to better the arrangement for your church.
A little about me. I’m Josh, the owner of Vertical Drum Co (verticaldrumco.com/), a drum brand for worship drummers. We make drums specifically for the sounds of modern worship music. With so many churches so focused on creating great sound and quality mixes post-covid, we try to make that easier by building drums specifically for that at reasonable prices. A semi-custom approach for the modern worship drummer.
I’ve been playing drums since I was 11 years old and served in churches behind the drum kit since middle school. I’ve had the huge privilege of traveling around and playing music with close friends, touring some, recording countless sessions in various studios, and teaching others in person and at conferences. I play because I love it and because I love to do things for the Lord with excellence whenever possible.
