My brother, why do all drummers seem to always need to adjust something while they are not playing and still keep messing with equipment while they are playing? Wouldn’t it be better to get something that stays out? 🤷🏽♂️
I love this! They're doing it old school.. calling it on the fly. Notice how everybody is watching the bandleader (the organist in the black hoodie). He'll call out key changes and other stuff as it's happening. This isn't rehearsed at all - it's one long jam session. Great group of musicians!
Shankabottomus I agree in a sense. I’ve seen kats struggle from trying to play unnecessary chops and fills when it should’ve been all foundation. The concept of it is easy, Fully agreed but I guess it’s just more so the mentality of some that makes it difficult for no reason.
@@Shankabottomus It certainly sounds simple on the surface, but there's more to it than that. There are subtle things that make all the difference. For example, when the singer starts his verse, everybody tightens up and backs off a bit. Mike closes up that hi-hat, the bassist and guitarist both start playing a little more sparse and muted, the organist starts comping rather than holding his notes, etc. Then the chorus hits and everybody opens back up a bit. Nobody had to tell them to do it. Keep in mind, this is a brand new song to them. Everybody hits the bridge, and there's no question where it is. It's not about the simplicity of the song, it's the musicianship behind it and the ability to adapt on the fly. You can tell all these guys have chops, but they aren't overplaying. These guys know their roles - and to hear them executed well on a song they don't know, simple or not, is a treat!
Finally a video with musicians IN church playing pocket. Without ALL those super long riffs, drumming all over the place and making it about themselves. Great video and music.
As soon as the band kicked i got pumped! Then had a permanent grin on. Even after it's over and as I type this I've still got an fixed grin. Damn that was good!
This man here has became one of my favorite many drummers that pocket tho is clean as ever I’m just try to get there the best way I can as a drummer thank bro for giving us drummers some hope as well
I think this is my fav video ever. As a churchdrummer myself this makes me so happy! The band is great, and Mike keeping it straight but giving that power when its suited👌 Great work all🔥
This video just made it into the favorites list. This is real band chemistry and it shows in spades. I'm more of a pocket style drummer and this dude just killed it.
Now the sound comin outta that pocket is 🔥🔥an you wasn't playin when you said them dudes were "ready!". You guys make an excellent sound together. Great vibes
New subbie! Straight up groove and pocket!!! Praise and funk overload!😁❤ Yes!!!! Awesome band!!! I am tapping my foot..my kick drum, with both ink pens...my drumsticks.. in my hand, hitting my desk..my snare and symbol, jamming in my office at work!! Lol! 😆
This drummer is playing the music the way it should be played. Dude you killed that groove!!!!
Barron Morris Man, I greatly appreciate the love!! ✊🏾✊🏾
Mike Hunter Jr you sound like you can play bass. Just your approach to the music.
My man in the pocket! No over powering or drowning the other musicians out. Well balanced. That's what ppl look for
Chris Curtis Mane I wish!!!

Playing a straight groove, without all the overpowering chops. A rare thing these days. You killed it, Mike!

Extremely easy to play straight forward stuff.
True... They have a great chemistry

Jorbop tighten the snare side more for ring reduction and tune the batter side to preference, whether high or low
