I Thank God // Maverick City Music x UPPERROOM // Drum Tutorial

[@aliguersonstfleur]

You just freaking saved me dude

[@AlexWandless]

haha awesome

[@reubens9690]

Your tutorial for this song was extremely helpful. The breakdowns and reassurance of finding the bones of the song and inserting your own style into it really helped. Not one drummer plays the same, so to encourage us to feel free to be ourselves without veering off from the bones of the song was helpful. Thank you for taking the time to slow things down and encourage us to add your own spice.

[@anthronshuler3532]

Brother this the kind of teaching I've been looking for, take the song and break down beat slow enough for people to understand.

[@tymurmusiienko]

I never comment on videos, but just want to say thank you for this tutorial. I’ll be playing this song at a Sunday evening service and I have only played it once before, which was very chaotic, so I’m very grateful for your tutorial. God bless you!!

[@dylanfootball97]

This helped me a lot the second time

[@basilioringor4130]

My brother, you are awesome, pointing out the "blue print." Breaking down and slowing down each section and make it simple and achievable. I just gotta get practicing. Thank you for being such a great drum mentor in the Lord. God Bless !!! Aloha from Hawaii !!!

Thx for the feedback, Jason! All things that are the goal in making these videos. Appreciate the encouragement!

[@c_wonder]

I don’t know why I struggled so much with that hi hat part before this. My dang bass timing was wrong throwing me off.

[@AlexWandless]

It’s one of those beats that you listen to and it sounds kind of strange, until you know what it is and then it’s like it just clicks. Thx for watching! Glad it helped you!

[@jtsmethers]

@@AlexWandless you're awesome man, you get a sub from me haha

[@kyladuckworth519]

What would this style be called?

[@impactmusic6009]

How much were those shells?

[@RS-oj3eb]

Long time drummer, now a days its so much tom work in worship music, whatever happened to high hat and snare?

[@AlexWandless]

Music is ever changing. I personally am a fan of the tom work in the drum parts because it breaks up the monotony of just snare and hat parts. But, as you have mentioned, that in and of itself can get monotonous. haha

[@RS-oj3eb]

@@AlexWandless i mean i like the tom work, everybody is doing it, its almost cookie cutter.

[@RS-oj3eb]

@@AlexWandless but i did learn i thank god watching your video.

[@AlexWandless]

I agree. It’s a lot of the same patterns just repeated in most songs.

[@jordanchand127]

Hi bro can you do see the light tutorial by Hillsong

[@AlexWandless]

I thought about doing a vid on that song a while back. I think at this point, there are some other really good tutorials that may have beaten me to it.

[@jordanchand127]

@@AlexWandless bro trust me your breakdown is pretty good and I have found some video but couldn’t get my head around it man. And other I tried I had to pay for full tutorial videos ☹️ Regards from Fiji 🇫🇯
