Growing up playing drums at church, I realized that tom beats are hugely important! So many worship songs incorporate tom beats. So as drummers, we need to make sure we understand how to play our tom beats using the 4 levels of dynamics. And that's exactly what I'm going to teach you in this drum lesson!

Awesome video! I play at church and definitely toms are huge in worship songs , thanks for those really cool beats , so cool to see one of my favorite drummers (you) play gospel too ! 🔥

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Keep up the awesome work Jose!

[@esthernyoak398]

Same

[@reno419rockstar]

I would like him to do a Baptist church Grove. It's alot of cymbals and rides. Toms are to gloomy and rock.

[@yahayaoyinkansola8258]

Thank you Gabe for this, I have learnt so much about church worship drums that I always thought were to difficult

[@calebbarton9515]

thank u i havent tried this out yet but i think this will help me a lot. ive been feeling like im lacking on the tom side of drumming so thanks i think this will definitely help in church :)

[@priscilliaabbigail7408]

Thank you so much for this video! I needed to learn some drum beats for my school's fellowship. this helps so much.

[@rhythmantic]

Thanks for the creative approach to playing these types of church grooves. Certainly helpful as I serve in the worship ministry playing 5 services every week.

[@bonzeroo]

Great video! Takes away some of the " mystery" out of this genre of playing. Thanks for sharing!

[@Zepla]

this was easily one of the most helpful videos i've watched for learning drums. thanks for this, i'm definitely looking to join when money isn't so tight

[@abrahamadah9808]

more grace and God bless you for doing this helping us to grow

[@hamburger1346]

Ty so much as a new drummer I needed this

[@Ducati395]

This is really cool. This should help whenever I play for my worship team. God bless you man

[@shan8613]

Another reason to like you and your content. I loooove your versatility, lessons, tips, and overall vibe 👏🙏

Thank you so much for this kind of content, I really hope to enroll in your course in the future, then again, thank you a lot for this!😄

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Thanks so much for taking the time to comment! I'm so happy that you've been enjoying the lessons.

[@temitopefaleti7053]

Thank you for this; I am going to show this to others who are learning the drum (I know of one). Also, this cheered me up after having a mental breakdown earlier on

[@kalbaniskickdrum]

I fell in love with Tom riffs firstly, I believe. It's soo cool to see this get focused on. I'll be on it in my lessons! DBO was totally the the right thing to do! When you kicked in the tempo, I suddenly got down with the sickness to.😄🤘

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

I'm so glad to hear that!

[@bishop1228]

I heard Disturbed in there too lol

[@floppytnarwal1641]

This is really good. Will have to get the Tom's from the office as only been using hi-hat, snare and bass drum. I also only use my left hand so will see what beats I can adapt for that.

[@tx2jbh81]

I completely agree with your hypothesis on why toms are some emphasized as apposed to cymbals. Though I’ve never thought about it until this lesson. Love the channel brother. 👊🏽

[@flashfan1122]

Super helpful! My Tom game at church is definitely my weakest link! My cymbals over ride everything a lot so good to learn using the toms as cymbals

[@360.Tapestry]

these look super fun! thank you for this lesson

[@user-not-found07]

I'm always amazed by how you explain everything into a whole new level. Very catchy and easy to follow.

[@serialhobbiest]

This is so easy to follow. Great lesson 👍

I always do the fifth one and get creative from there. Great video!

Thanks for the lesson! Looking forward to play *Ticks and Leeches* next sunday!

[@tasgeary]

This is my favorite video you've put out! Learned a Lot here! Thank you!

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Wow, that's amazing! So glad you enjoyed it so much!

[@hlauterb2011]

This makes a lot of sense. These beats sound very similar to the beat for the song “Audition” in Bare: A Pop Opera, which is set in a catholic school (I think it’s catholic). Thanks for the lesson! Very informative!

[@jatlas_ix6342]

Been struggling with coming up with Tom beats for a while now, thanks for the vid Gabe!

Revalation Song - Phillip, Craig & Dean version

[@elkinranjith3926]

What I See by Elevation Worship

[@bencarter6702]

I love "For All You've Done" and "Worthy Of All Praise" for the quicker stuff. Mostly a Foo Fighters/Simple Minds kinda groove. And the slower stuff? "Grace Awaiting Me" and "How Great Thou Art". Chance to use bongos, shakers etc. And a Phil Collins fill on Grace (see the opening to PCs I Don't Care Anymore) and driven snare a la Cranberries Zombie on How Great (yes really).

[@lethql6960]

Definitely might get loud by elevation

[@sharelynongbetkurbah5672]

Awesome 👍👍 ,I got so many things by watching your vedio sir thank you

Amazing! You've got this!!

[@rayburnette3011]

@@DrumBeatsOnline Thanks Gabe!!

[@GabrielXDrums]

Deployment where?

[@hollismedley3216]

This is all information I’ve had to learn through feel. I’ve been playing in church for 7 years now and all of this is vital information for drummers that are working on dynamic and “feeling out” the song and atmosphere. I’ll be showing this video in our worship development class next week. Great information

[@andrewmihaleff]

My thoughts exactly! I'm a drummer that tends to play guitar and lead worship these days so I don't get to work at kit too often. I have felt my way to some of this, but this video just made it all so easy! Thanks team!

[@PremediKwilu]

True and this is only my second year of playing drums in church

[@user-fy9zt9lr2w]

Dynamics is one of the hardest thing for a drummer to learn.

[@vivyvocalist723]

"King of Kings" by Bethel is a GREAT song to practice this with. Has these exact beats. Thanks for the lesson!

[@user-rq8gl5fq9k]

❤❤ Tovyah love this ( incredible!!)

[@Dingsrecords92]

God Bless you for sharing 🔥🔥🔥

[@vincemajer]

i'm always a bit in trouble with toms, this helps out a lot.

[@antonioguinoo]

Yep!!! Building from the basics to more complex! As all things should be! Great video, inspired me to listen to more gospel music haha

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

So glad you liked it my friend!

I joined my worship team a few months ago! This will be a great series! Thanks Gabe!

[@walterc77]

Thank u for this!

[@taylorbarrett9660]

Great video again! My church doesn't currently have drums, but this was still awesome learning the different beats we could be using.

[@StrappingYoungLadam]

As one of the drummers on my church's worship team I am all to familiar with these style tom groves. The real fun ones are when we play songs in 3/4 time. It used to be the bane to my existence but I love 3/4 now 😅

[@RC32Smiths01]

Tom Beats are so cool. Definitely spices up the beats, and you can get very creative with them!

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Totally agree!

[@RC32Smiths01]

@@DrumBeatsOnline Cheers!

[@roniebombasi4460]

🥰 thank you BDO 🥰

[@Mark-db1ok]

Bass player (and lover of drums) here... Great video! I've played to these kinds of beats many times in worship sets, but never thought about the idea behind it. Also, "Worship Tom" sounds like that could be the guy who's older than everyone else in the band because he's been at the church forever..... 😁 (I'll see myself out)

[@44liisa44]

Hey Mark! I'm fairly new to playing drums in a band, and particularly with a bass player. What are some things you work on with your drummer? And how do you communicate with him/her while playing? (As a drummer, it's hard to signal when your hands and feet are occupied). Thanks!

[@MrPeter924]

Good video sounds great audio sounds great music. Drummer. Great show.

I’m just getting back into drumming (practicing at home with Roland TD-17). It’s been about 15 years since I played drums and would like to get back to drumming at church. This was super helpful as the music in church today is a little different than 2006

[@konsta6297]

Why do i hear "tom grooves" as "Tom Cruise"😅

I accidentally clicked on the video but what a coincidence that I’m also starting to play drums for church lol
