I see everybody's comments saying he over did it, but me as a drummer i feel what he's doing. while recording a track you keep the pocket fat and limit your rips but when your live you go ham, it's just a matter of fully using the gift that God blessed you with......... with that being said JDrew is a beast on the set
yall hating he produced the song if I produced the song who are you to say I over did it he can do it how he wants y'all got the nerve hey bro great job
Also with this, people forget that there is a track going and most individuals that dont have an ear for specific instruments barely notice what he is doing!
Any professional drummers on here know that the way we are hearing it right now is not how it sounded throughout the whole building there's stems from the track which allow him to pretty much do what he wants all he is doing is making it sound full to the crowd
Chill with all the negative comments... It's a show people not a studio recording. We are stage view not audience. He played correctly when it was time to worship and when it was time rejoice. It's our job as drummers to keep it colorful for them and help usher in the spirit of praise.
Anointed to play, the beats on the 'and beat' if any old band members are listening😂. Is anyone listening, yes. Drew you betta play not behind but wit yo sista that's all I got to say. Amen and Amen somebody😂
It's like a great basketball player, because of his extreme gifted nature he is able to try and pull off the craziest stuff, things that normal people can't dream of, the impressive part is the fact they can even attempt it, while haters stuck in they home church still playing Beatles drum rolls into the one, please stop!!!
He was rusty and fresh on the gig he went secular around that time but she needed him and as her brother and just cause he produced it he really had no choice. Looked like an important gig so he made a brother decision for his sister. Still smacked fresh off the couch singing
I like it. It shows that he's not playing timid he's playing carefree which i want musicians to play with. even with the mistake that he made in this video it was excellent he has nice runs and nice accents he can play.
Placement was everywhere but that's just how complex he is an artist.. Kierra too because all the stuff she was doing+ all the stuff the keys were doing . It's solid
The way y'all commenting is proof that you haven't heard the recording... he played the same chops that he did on the record... if it's on the cd this way... that how the people would want to hear it live... stop being simple minded and do your homework before you comment.
yes he plays to a protools track.. so he can pretty much do what he wants. Anyone that knows J. Drew knows his pocket is fat number 1 and number two, he chops. Thats his style. He produced not only the song but this whole album. Thats his sister he's playing for. If it was a problem I'm sure it would come up. But it never has. The other thing is agAIN, you can't hear the protools track from where the recorder is so it probably doesn't sound like "just a bunch of chops in the house" because if the FOH engineer is mixing it correctly, it blends
I understand people knowing something about music and I know people know when someone makes a mistake! But who gives people the right to make negative comments about a persons playing! I believe these videos should have a comment block so folks can stop talking about people's like this and even creating arguments over it! It's just all wrong! that is not the way to build up!
+michael daley what's crazier is all the negative comments are coming from people who would probably kill to play in his place and know they're not ready.
I think he was having fun with the song. sometimes they play the song 4 or 5 times in practice, then for the main show. I think he was having fun, with it making it more interesting after playing it so much. Aaron Spears said he does the same thing with Usher songs. He said every show it's different fills, pockets, rolls and everything...
bigtigga2007 True, but when you're high profile like that you should practice more. You can tell he's hella rusty! JDrew is one of my favorite producers, and dude is a dope drummer, but sometimes you get so busy producing until you forget how to play a live show. I agree, he was trying to do too much and without a lot of practice that's not good. Calvin Rogers would have showed him how to play his own track. Although I'm critiquing him, he did some very nice stuff. My thing is if you haven't practiced it at home while you're shedding don't try it live. In case you're wondering how I know he hasn't been practicing, I'm a musician and I know how a musician of that caliber sounds when they practice. He seemed to be a step slow at every turn. He was fighting to stay loose and to play free. He was concentrating and overthinking at the same time. To his defense we're all human and we make mistakes! He has many shows where he killed it and so he has some passes on reserve.
Samuel Grant love the way he kept going and was not defeated by a "mistake", he actually brought more energy afterwards further letting us know how to fix it. Fresh indeed 😉
Most people commenting don't know what they are talking about, first of all his recoveries are the most impressive part, he's got stems to hold down the meter, and if you heard the full mix, you probably would not have noticed that much, trust me everybody in that building left thinking he snapped, so let's stop the Monday morning quarterbacking, because the stuff he did was bananas, this is coming from touring pro, please stop hating!!!!
Obviously he has really nice chops but he really is over doing this song. The feel wasn't even near the same as the recording. But in general j.drew is sick
Ik that but it's just a little bit to much that's just my opinion and don't get me wrong ik he's enjoying himself but it's to much that just my opinion
You can't feel all that different syncopation you don't even know where the beat is in the song he got some good loose phrasing and licks but he's doing too much
Doverbeach32 You would have to understand the differences in musical styles. . Saying he is over playing this song is like saying "When Josey jordison plays a drum fill in a song, he is playing to many notes". . . . . You have to play what the artist and song requires. . . In gospel, the drummers come with a funk playing style but are required to play a lot more in their songs. . .Which is why a lot of gospel songs (even more so live) have a lot of break sections in them. . . Keep making music!
I understand what you saying... But its his track (he produced it) so he just having fun... plus its his sister singing, she not gonna trip out. Trust me...He know how to stay in the pocket. He nice on that set!!!
he produced it! he created ALL the breaks and changes himself. He's a musician thats playing it live but just so happenes to be the producer of this track
That’s his track there playing too plus he’s the producer n he the one playing on the record.. he can play it how he wants if he wants to add different hits to it he’s got a right to do it .. how yu choose to play it is up to you .. it’s the way you play
Rashar Banks ok that’s nice that he produced the track but that does not show the fact that he might be throwing off the artist while he is playing and I’m not saying he is not good because he is a beast but there are somethings you should not do during a show
Any professional drummers on here know that the way we are hearing it right now is not how it sounded throughout the whole building there's stems from the track which allow him to pretty much do what he wants all he is doing is making it sound full to the crowd
I see everybody's comments saying he over did it, but me as a drummer i feel what he's doing. while recording a track you keep the pocket fat and limit your rips but when your live you go ham, it's just a matter of fully using the gift that God blessed you with......... with that being said JDrew is a beast on the set
Huh?
joshua williams thats his sister and they practice, he got his own groove
I felt he was doing too much... but didnt he produce the track? If thats the case, he can play it how ever he wants. It was dope though.
Rudare916 no
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣
yall hating he produced the song if I produced the song who are you to say I over did it he can do it how he wants y'all got the nerve hey bro great job
Also with this, people forget that there is a track going and most individuals that dont have an ear for specific instruments barely notice what he is doing!
that's a bad brother on those drums!#🙏🙏💯💯
He killing it it's not like he on a live recording when u gig you are free to play your best
Even tho that’s him on the record too😂😂

Chill with all the negative comments... It's a show people not a studio recording. We are stage view not audience. He played correctly when it was time to worship and when it was time rejoice. It's our job as drummers to keep it colorful for them and help usher in the spirit of praise.
Boy Genius Preach. Lol. Totally agree. Especially you’re the one who produced the track
@@kingdomdrums2006 Lol Right!
@@TimCurry04 some of these cats in this comment section are still wet behind the ears when it come to live playing 😂
JDrew is definitely gave praise on the drums. Awesome God
he was having fun! I love it! I'm trying figure out some of those moves !!!Amazing
If you all play drums then you know where he went wrong..mainly in the beginning, he got his mind right later LOL,
Bro this dude is a beast!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥and then on top of that Kiki is tearing it up on the stage!!!!!!!☺☺☺

This dude got mad skills
Anointed to play, the beats on the 'and beat' if any old band members are listening😂. Is anyone listening, yes. Drew you betta play not behind but wit yo sista that's all I got to say. Amen and Amen somebody😂
How do you tell the producer of a song how they should play along to the track they created?
SynsynVelli well said

man the beginning an them ghost notes sick.. an his placement where he was accenting with control.. god bless sick..
Yes great playing man😎👊👊
I need that concert tape!!!!!!!!!
His control is everything though... Kiki is a vocal beast! Period't!
I loved it
He's hitting every beat "real" drummers know he has a skip track playing that plays his general pocket j drew a beast
Seems like he's using Paste cymbals the sound of them is hard not to forget they are the best to use live studio I like Sabian or the Zildjian brand!!
Nice job with that
Well dem have the Michael Jackson groove lock....
It's like a great basketball player, because of his extreme gifted nature he is able to try and pull off the craziest stuff, things that normal people can't dream of, the impressive part is the fact they can even attempt it, while haters stuck in they home church still playing Beatles drum rolls into the one, please stop!!!

da snare tho
j drew is like a season drummer
Is that BARRY?!😲😲
but the audio probably sounded different throughout the building
Pocket Is Everything
That hold @ 3:34!!! Eeeeeeee!
yall r fools...this is great
Very articulate and accomplished the mission. Used the drums as a voicing instrument instead of just chopping it up. Well played
yes lord
man he tarring into them subdivisions....
Clearly his free playing we all kno jdrew the coldest there is he better then everyone who comment on here
I like it. It shows that he's not playing timid he's playing carefree which i want musicians to play with. even with the mistake that he made in this video it was excellent he has nice runs and nice accents he can play.

How can people talk about the person who helped make the song?????????
If this Barry, you know who I am.
J drew best drummer, and music producer in my opinion not that it matters
Wow
yes he plays to a protools track.. so he can pretty much do what he wants. Anyone that knows J. Drew knows his pocket is fat number 1 and number two, he chops. Thats his style.

usally drummers would have a latge drum set but he good with a medium

+michael daley what's crazier is all the negative comments are coming from people who would probably kill to play in his place and know they're not ready.
Work it!
hold up how is hearing the track lol
j drew is nice on the set.. but we all as drummers mess up at times.. Its no big deal as long as we keep going to the beat I think.
+Samuel Grant YUP LOL when I used to play I used to get a lil excited sometimes
I think he was having fun with the song. sometimes they play the song 4 or 5 times in practice, then for the main show. I think he was having fun, with it making it more interesting after playing it so much. Aaron Spears said he does the same thing with Usher songs.

Samuel Grant and he's playing with a track

sick timing..
anyone know how i can play this beat?????
Most people commenting don't know what they are talking about, first of all his recoveries are the most impressive part, he's got stems to hold down the meter, and if you heard the full mix, you probably would not have noticed that much, trust me everybody in that building left thinking he snapped, so let's stop the Monday morning quarterbacking, because the stuff he did was bananas, this is coming from touring pro, please stop hating!!!!
the one lick y'all are crazy about is good but the measure before that he messed up and got off beat... did you catch that??? He Nice though!
does anyone know what cymbals he is using?
What is that snare drum thoe?
Top 5 cymbals in order
Sabian
Zildijan
Soultone
K
Paiste
Sabian
Zildjian
Paiste
Supernatural
Meinl
bro k is zildijian😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
+Daryon Smith I didn't know at the time I posted that comment 😂
J. Drew Sheard on set looks like
Chops are awesome but thy become awful when you get off beat....😮
is that her brother right
Dontay Gibson yeah J Drew Sheard
Is the point of being a drummer is to be creative right ?! I see Nothing wrong w this groove
Dashon yep the just fill in
Obviously he has really nice chops but he really is over doing this song. The feel wasn't even near the same as the recording. But in general j.drew is sick
+Aaron Castrillon he has stems
If you produced the whole album you can do what ever you want
Tyler McGee Yeah you're right but you gotta admit he's over doing it
+Aaron Castrillon Lol he was just fooling. He always does that lol
Aaron Castrillon no thats how it sounds here ..this isnt what the crowd hears
I hate this type of off beat or any off beat rather but he over did the song but he did a good job
+Nobby lml
That loose phrasing tho!
I'm a fan of j drew but something about this video isn't right
He missed the one a lot in this video
Go to 1:03 and 3:35. He actually did miss the 1 a couple times.
U ducking is so to mix
Did pretty good just a little bit much though stay in the pocket
U stay in the pocket, he's playing from the heart and it's nothing wrong with that
Ik that but it's just a little bit to much that's just my opinion and don't get me wrong ik he's enjoying himself but it's to much that just my opinion
Bro stick to the beat and add fills in, you chopping the entire time
You can't feel all that different syncopation you don't even know where the beat is in the song he got some good loose phrasing and licks but he's doing too much
Obviously very skilful BUT his ego totally spoils the song, placement all over the place and generally overplaying.
I didn't notice an ego. He's just doing what he loves and is gifted to do. J. Drew is one of the best drummers out there.
J. Laron Rhodes
haha I didnt notice an ego either. Looks and sounds like he's just crushing...

You would have to understand the differences in musical styles. .

he produced it! he created ALL the breaks and changes himself.
He's a musician thats playing it live but just so happenes to be the producer of this track
them cymbals sound terrible lol
You can't play ... Dude your doing extra
Willie Johnson thats slow of you to say
Totally overplaying he was great on the real album version but now he just overplaying
As a drummer yu can pretty much play how you want live as long as the band can stay with yu. Seem like to me the band was able to stay a float
Got nice chops but he is missing hits and is doing to much
That’s his track there playing too plus he’s the producer n he the one playing on the record.. he can play it how he wants if he wants to add different hits to it he’s got a right to do it .. how yu choose to play it is up to you .. it’s the way you play

Weak I bet he never played for her again! 🗑
