thank you bro

[@nemi1882]

So i never knew what was Vincent’s name until now. All i want to say is that he’s such a good drummer with good style. Ive been waiting for a good video on tuning a whole drum set. Thank you!

[@ShemarM]

Whoa, he talks. Awesome! More vids like these please

[@jonahbarasinopre]

Yeah, I thought so too immediately I saw him. Wow such a nice guy

[@billterpenning4537]

This guy motivated me so much to start drumming after watching his video for “Here as in Heaven.” Glad to see this!

[@samanthawilliams7757]

That was the song that got me into drumming!

[@yaddakmela5722]

As did I! The way he drummed that was SOOO powerful!!!

[@worshipdrummer]

Love the video guys!! Well done 🙌

[@chiefwarrior2567]

Vince dude your are awesome I’ve been waiting years for you to do this man this is much appreciated!!!!

[@paulevers3538]

This dude is a beast on the drums at Elevation

[@eaglebandol]

For years I have been struggling with drum tuning. Don't know how the drum should sound like for worship. This tutorial works perfectly for our drums at church. Really appreciated your sharing. God bless you man!

[@Branhawk]

Love your opinion on the snare tuning. So many times I’ve heard drummers looking for that phat tone and they just tune it so low it has no real attack to it and sounds like mush.

[@lukesellers9245]

And it makes the head go bad after one set

[@benjamingazdik]

Yeah agreed. A super low snare can be awesome but generally unless you're really hitting the pocket super hard in a very specific style its gonna be way too low to fit well with the mix. Medium tuning is where it's at.

[@kas36spires]

My personal preference for the phat sound is medium tuning with 14"x8" brass snare. I think the depth of the shell gives it enough off that deep slap without my batter head sitting as loose as a dead fish on the drum haha. But unfortunately not everyone owns a drum that deep as its less versatile/all around. Love mine though!

[@benjamingazdik]

@@kas36spires Agreed! I have a Black Beauty :) 6.5"X14" and it sits really nice at medium/low. Throw a controlled sound and al little muffling to control the tone with some 30 strand wires and it sounds huge and hits really nice.

[@carlostorres1171]

@@benjamingazdik It’s kind of funny because his royal dudeness, Chris Greely, has said “Guys will try to get snare tone we have by tuning the drums way way too low. And I don’t get the sound by tuning the snare low. I get it by tuning the snare… Right.”

[@mark0rubik2006]

I had never seen you talking Vincent!! Amazing video!!

[@Plaides-G]

I’m a drummer myself and this video was very clear and straight forward 🙏🏻 thanks!

[@SuperLevice]

You don’t have to say “we” just say “I” cause you are the one who plays the drums brotha ❤️

[@justinengler7308]

The humility😁

[@reynaangelag.julian2262]

I am not here because I wanted to learn to play drums nor learn how to tune drums. I am here cause I was moved by his drums. The way he play the "Never Lost" it was really amazing. God Bless Mr. Vincent Baynard. You drum with your heart. You drum with a passion to serve God. Well done!🥰♥️

[@benjamin.kelley]

Finally get to hear from this dude! We all know the worship leaders, but it would be nice to start to know the other members of the instrumental part of the team so we can learn from them (I'm a drummer and have used the tutorials with Vincent and Luke).

[@mark0rubik2006]

Very good explanation Vince! Thank you for helping us with the tuning of our drums. 🥁 We love you so much 🧡

[@AdvicefromDad]

Would love to see a video on the Mix Settings you guys use for the kit.

[@RedCymbals]

Thank you for making this! It is so great to know how to make the drums sound good in the worship environment.

[@Upstreamtruth]

Thanks, man! I never knew your name until now, but you've always been my favorite drummer mainly because of how humble you are. You don't need to unnecessarily move your body in any way to get attention.

[@zackvillalobos1273]

Thank you for not being “trendy”! Dig the head combos.

[@wiitendods]

Excellent thank you!

[@ageshero]

Kinda would like to hear and listen to philosophy as to why the drums sound they way they do before the technical stuff

[@realitytales1]

I wish there could be like an interview video so i could hear his voice more than just this video

[@seanbusch9074]

Also , is there no pillow or anything in the bass drum ? And you're only turning half a turn after finger tight for both heads?

[@TheChanhee90]

what mics are you using for this video? sounds so good...

[@inquiringminds8026]

So good! Thank you!! QUESTION: Do you like having a modified or different setup for more acoustic or small room setups, or have you found this to be your favorite in nearly all situations? Thank you for sharing and blessing.

[@austincox1709]

my fav small room setup is kick, snare, floor tom, hats, and a crash ride of some sort. i use a 22" dream contact crash ride!

Wow 🤩🥰🥰

[@roychang723]

dang I might not have the same drum set, but I surely do have the same jacket💀😂

[@joegeronda]

Nice sound

[@Etmannon]

I know im very late to the party lol. I Love your drum sounds but word of advice to the production team. It might be advantages to not use background music when showing off the sound of the drums, so that way its easier to hear the nuances.

[@ericdasilva2948]

Where can I find the Ludwig Blck beauty

[@markward3730]

Nice.

[@JesseMcDMusic]

DW is the best! Drums sound absolutely killer! Also, do you know what DW calls that finish?

[@Crazymelvis]

It appears to be a light tobacco satin oil

[@JBoogsDeluxe]

This was awesome. Thanks so much for putting this together!

[@ferrods]

Is that a 22” or 24” kick drum?

[@notforyoutube]

Did anyone catch what batter head he’s using for the floor time and the front rack Tom?

[@justinengler7308]

Remo Emperor's I beleive.

[@seanbusch9074]

Last question. Do you always tune the bottom head first for each drum ?

[@RevJorgeDiaz]

Thanks for the video. Perhaps y’all can speak to your trigger/sample choices and the decision process in how to determine the proper mix between the sample and the drum. Appreciate the info @elevation worship

[@Crazymelvis]

They don’t use samples, just use the triggers for gates.

[@notforyoutube]

What are the tune not numbers for a 12 inch rack Tom?

[@brunopassoni]

Hey Vincent! Which heads are you using for batter side?

[@nicholasgilmore4624]

I’ve watched the video, but could someone please tell me what exact heads he’s using? Stuff sounds so good!

[@judecaudill]

He says what he uses on the kick. he either uses remo ambassador or remo emperor (coated) on the toms, im not sure. im assuming he uses a remo p4 clear dot for the snare.

[@KevinIsaacDaBarberCaraveo]

Half turn on kick or quarter turn?

[@asmallpug]

Really wanted to know what heads and snare wires are used on the black beauty :(

[@chiefwarrior2567]

Paranøia _ me too. I’m guessing emperor on the top hazy ambassador on bottom and pure sound 30 strand . I like Evans better than remo because they last longer. I have a raw brass Ludwig 14x6.5 and I’ve gotten this type sound out of my snare drum using Evans g2 and 300 drum heads with tama 42 strand snare wires I’ve used super 30s too I’m just a 42 strand guy though. Trust me I’ve been at it for a long time trying to achieve a similar sound out of my snare drums that I just saved up and bought a Ludwig and played with the heads and wires until I got something close. Double ply head on top and a 3mil head on the bottom oh and instead of moon gels I use an Evans e ring for dampening. I hope I helped I’ve been there believe me lol

[@Crazymelvis]

They use pure sound 20 strand.

[@kristofferbjerke428]

Anyone who knows what snare wires is used on his BB?

[@calebengler1835]

Do you have any muffleing in the kick?

[@tonytyler5574]

Forgive me but I’m new to this but is the frequency he’s talking about let’s say 150, is that the frequency for every lug or the frequency overall?

[@elevationworship]

Overall! ^EW Team

[@aijahnissi]

it’s per each lug

[@ajchen.19]

does anyone have a link to the drums he was talking about?

[@markyMKV]

What microphones are you using?

[@ivannieves320]

Whats good dude

[@stevepayne2432]

The video is nicely done, but remember, tuning is a matter of taste. It also needs to fit the style of music . Ultra low tunings work great in a dry studio with $10k of large diaphragm condensers, but that may not be the answer in a reverberant auditorium. Some ppl sacrifice the fundemental pitch of the drum, just to get "all that low end". Out where the sound guy sits, it may just be blap, blap, blap, instead of dim, dum, dooooommm.

[@henrod27]

How will this work for a 16" kick bass drum 13" floor tom 10" TomTom 14" snare Tuning wise ?? And what note or key pitch is he tuning to ??

[@11jono]

curious to know too!

[@jamesfrierson9971]

Is the frequency the lug freq or center?

[@joeyyyjn9232]

What snare head did y’all use? Batter side.

[@judahbabiera6631]

anyone knows what batter head his using ? :) thanks

[@chiefwarrior2567]

Are those single ply or double ply heads on the toms? my guess is single ply anyone in the comments have a guess?

[@stickzmusic_3131]

Single on bottom, 2 ply top.

[@seanbusch9074]

Do you put the snare on a stand when you tune both heads ? I see a lot of people saying to put it on a pillow so you don't hear the overtones of the other head while you're tuning it

[@seanbusch9074]

Please respond when you get the chance

[@crazymelvis5877]

@@seanbusch9074 I am a year late, but he probably sets it on the drum throne to mute the other head.

[@ScrumThePlanet]

Yes, he places drums on the drum throne to mute the other side. I do it on each tom, even the floor toms. Just sit them right on top the throne, tune it up, and then flip it over.

[@xavierrodriguez1961]

I have a 6 1/2 × 14 pearl maple snare drum can I get somewhat of the same sound for this snare?

[@aijahnissi]

yes you can if you have similar tuning with 20-42 strand snare wires, Vincent is either using a 30 strand or 42.(edit) Vincent uses a Coated Emperor Batter side, For the bottom or aka the resonant head, I’m assuming he’s using a ambassador hazy snare side. People from bethel and stuff, they use the Power Stroke 4, some people even use the P77, that is only remo heads. I don’t know what other people use with Evans but you can do that research.

[@crazymelvis5877]

@@aijahnissi They use a 20 strand, according to their other drummer.

[@gaberomero127]

I guess each to their own, but that bass batter head, Powerstroke 3 already has a dot for that reason. No more need to add a patch but I suppose each to their own

[@moiseshernandez8793]

Please subtitles in spanish 🙏

[@ezhenchong5869]

May I know what brand is the Tune Bot that he is using?

Which drum mic this

[@edwin437]

Maybe I missed it, did he mention the size of the kick? Or the heads used on top of toms and snare? I heard him say coated heads but not which type.

[@stickzmusic_3131]

Most likely Emperors since they use remo heads

[@chriszauche4897]

22" Bass drum, Remo Emperor coated batter heads for toms.

[@carlostorres1171]

What heads?

[@jacobnorman578]

235 top 380 bottom Using cross tuning

[@aijahnissi]

Ludwig Black Beauty 250hz Batter side aka the Top Head 380hz reso aka the bottom head

[@XeRo333]

I like the sound of those toms and that bass drum. Next time I re-tune my drums I'm gonna try tuning my bass drum this way. Next time y'all need to change out some heads check out Evans. Their level 360 heads make it SUPER easy to tune and if you're ever wanting to bring out the low end of your bass drum definitely check out the Evans EMAD Heavyweight bass drum. Lots of low end and with the adjustable dampening ring you can get three level of focus or attack(depending on what you're looking for)

[@eliezercisneros4495]

Estuviera bien si estuviera también en español

[@pumpkin1982]
