Holy Forever / Bethel Music / Ekklesia Eugene Drum Cam

Here's my drum cover of the song "Holy Forever" by Bethel Music. I have avoided playing this beat for the chorus for a long time but finally decided to play it mostly as is and I was really happy with the result. It's a very cool vibe if you can do it without being too showy. I wanted to keep it really simple and add to the feel rather than becoming the feel and taking away from the song.
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..., 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.
