Playing a straight groove, without all the overpowering chops. A rare thing these days. You killed it, Mike!
giantkiller56 Preciate it mane!!
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? 🤷🏽♂️
Thomas Sawyer Lol. Man, things tend to move or volumes fluctuate etc a lot of times. Have to be able to adjust while staying locked in. 🤷🏾♂️ Lol
That's My boy SIR EGG HEAD!!
Kaito B It’s an Evans Onyx man.
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!!!
hit that drum harder
“If you don’t invite me back for the next watch night service....I’m comin on my own....I JUST WANNA” 😂😂😂
When did he say that?

jajajaja...you got it!
***smooth as heaven***
Ryan Tucker ?
That bass is mad good.Great job to all ya
thanks man
No problem
That musical director so in tune with the band, is awesome to watch
Totally agree!! They are all so in sync!
That's Zacardi's MD and they can hear him in their in ears.
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!
Extremely easy to play straight forward stuff.
True... They have a great chemistry
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.
This is the type of church I grew up in
@@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!
“Somebody turn that man up!! SOMEBODYYYYYY” 😂😂😂
Everyone in the pocket. Professionals all around
When you have a band with such chemistry sounds beautiful, reminded me of my days as a drummer back in PR great job!!!
That fill at 3:06 😭 wow! Thats awesome... Unbelievable drummer! Way to use your gifts to worship! You inspire me... Keep up the good work!!
Freakinnnnnn daayyyyyuuuum. That fill too bad for heaven
Cam Maddock more like too good for hell*

This pocket is so deep. It’s like a Steph Curry pull up 30 footer deep.
Max Haake Lol Thanks man.
You ain't NEVER lied!!!
It's "lint deep in the corner of a pair of Levi's after they've been washed" Pocket
STEPHANIE L Richardson 😩😩😩😩🤣🤣🤣🤣👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 I appreciate it!!!
Totally agree!
What you say!!!
Super tight groove and extremely clean fills. This was one of the most pleasant sounding things ever.
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!
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.
Man I’ve gotta say 7:57 through 8:16 to me to another plane of existence. Super appreciative of the grove! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I love being able to hear the MD calls. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I wish the band in my Church could be this tight. IT'S SO GOOOOD
