That snare is from the heavens!!! Beautiful playing as well!

[@MixChecks]

Jesus let him borrow His snare for the weekend.

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

@@MixChecks haha. What a god we serve!

[@Sasquatch27]

It's hard to publicly admit I play drums after watching this.

[@bryenwebsterq9386]

No

[@noahkalmes7716]

Hey Sasquatch, I know exactly how you feel. But, if you'd permit me, I would like to say a few things. I'd imagine that we are in much the same boat- totally outclassed by Otis Williams. I play regularly at church and at my high school, but he and I are in no way comparable. Furthermore, I'd imagine that we both compare ourselves to the other guys. We watch KZbin videos of other drummers absolutely killing it, and think to ourselves: "If I'm not as good as he is, am I any good at all?" or "Can I even call myself a drummer now?" I've been there, and it is no fun. It is also highly unproductive. Otis Williams (the guy in this video) is an outstanding drummer. There is so much you and I can gain by observing him. Conversely, there is so much we can lose by comparing ourselves to him. Here's why: 1. This man is a professional drummer. Unless I am mistaken, we are not. Would you expect to slice open a skull just like a brain surgeon? Or send a shuttle to mars, like a rocket scientist? Of course not. Those are trained professionals who get PAID to do that every single day. How, then, should you expect to play like Otis Williams if you are not a professional drummer? We are being far too hard on ourselves by making that comparison. 2. Yes, he is better than you at drumming. Yes, he is better than I am. And that is ok- because someone being "better" does not make you "bad." Someone else's talent never invalidates yours. 3. At a certain level, non-musicians won't know that Otis Williams is THAT much better than we are. We, the music practicing folk, know all to well. But the masses? They simply like to hear the dropping of beats... and that is something you and I can give to them. 4. The majority of humans don't even know how to hold a drumstick. If you're going to measure your drumming skill against others, why choose the 0.01% of people who are better? Why not compare yourself to the %99.99 of people that you outclass? Neither of those are fair comparisons, so best not to compare at all. 5. If we all sounded like Otis Williams, then we would all sound the same. The world of music needs that special thing that YOU do, that little flair that YOU add, that sound that only YOU can produce. There are jazz drummers, metal drummers, pop drummers, etc. And somewhere within all those categories, somewhere between all those genres, you fit perfectly and when you play you add variety and life to this wonderful world of percussion. Besides, talent is overrated anyway. I could absolutely play this song in my own way, and it would be fine- not because I'm that good, but because there is no "right" way to do it. And if I can do it, I'm sure that you can do it. So get out there, Sasquatch27. And when you do, remember that you are skilled. Remember that music isn't the same without you. Remember that some people can do it better than you can, but nobody can do it just like you can. Remember to learn from these guys, but never become them. And most of all, remember to rock on.

[@noahkalmes7716]

@AllGTG Too right. There's a good chance that sasquatch did mean it is a compliment, but if I have helped even one musician gain confidence I have done what I wished to do.

[@noahkalmes7716]

@AllGTG Best of luck! I have found drumming to be totally worth it, especially if you can find people to play with regularly (for me, that's church and school).

[@01BlackPanther]

​@noahkalmes7716 Wow, brother, that was most beautifully put. There is certainly a reason why our precious God and Father has exhorted us not to commit the sin of comparison. We are all at different levels on our journeys, whether that be in our spiritual walk with Christ or as you so articulately put it, on our musical journeys on this most excellent and satisfying instrument. Be encouraged brothers and keep pressing on towards excellence in Christ our Lord. Peace 💯😎

[@kirjian]

I don't know what's more breathtaking, the powerful drumming or that SINGER YO

[@danielwillenderdasilva]

Oh My Lord... What a DrumTeam: Vince Baynard, Dom Geralds And Otis Williams... Excellence at the top of the mountain

[@taitemarshall]

Dont forget Luke Anderson even though he didnt play drums this album.

[@danielwillenderdasilva]

@@taitemarshall yeeeaaah, How to Forget the Man Who developed some of the Best albums like Here as in Heaven And There's a Cloud leading Vince Baynard for who he is now

[@nathanquinn1959]

sorry to be off topic but does anyone know a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I love any help you can offer me.

[@prestonledger3807]

@Nathan Quinn instablaster ;)

[@nathanquinn1959]

@Preston Ledger thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@rukunyalxug]

The magic starts at 4:45 - 5:05 oh my oh my the fills are bloody

[@scottbuchanan150]

THAT SNARE!!!!!!! Sounds incredible!!! Killer version!!!

[@lukeshaddick4105]

Both the Tom's sound dope too

[@dansstudios7893]

Thanks to this song, God changed my life. Praise the Lord.

[@940jord]

Dynamic at its finest, this sounds beautiful

[@IntegrativeHPS]

Man, that kit sounds INCREDIBLE - phenomenal work by everyone involved!

[@benadek6703]

The best drummer from elevation hands down. That snare though sheesh 🥶😳

[@romeostarlite21]

Nah Vince!

[@bishop.drummer.1448]

Oh yeah, Vince is the best one!!🥁🙌

[@ngewngew6818]

What do u guys mean ?... This guy is more skillful than Vince. And also this guy hits the drums with more power. Vince hits so light he hits the drums like a girl. Haha

[@ElderBishopPastorReverendOssie]

Even Vince himself would say in a heart beat that Otis is way more skilled. Otis Williams, Adrian Bent, and Larnell Lewis, all studied together. They are beasts!

[@kbcash35]

@ElderBishopPastorReverendDoctorEvangelistOssie Lee 💯🎯

[@darekseigle1323]

Man that snare is cutting up...sheesh

[@asmallpug]

So incredible how simple licks and accents in transitions on the fly are so impactful. It’s inspiring👍🏼

[@consultjdsd2487]

KZbin Notification did good this time. I was definitely blessed!

[@MixChecks]

God Bless KZbin

[@p1n3apple21]

His musical ability is undeniable

The drum kit sounds incredible but I'm amazed with the cymbals. This is "The blessing" to every musician especially drummers like me.

[@camarokenneth]

Kudos to Otis! Great to see someone that is so successful in the music industry yet still putting time to serve the Lord.

[@jacobyjackson3530]

He played this with soul and a sprinkle of STANK!!! Nice linear fills and cymbal work.

[@johnvarghese3849]

Amazing 🔥🔥

[@jaredpyatt417]

Seriously 4:55 🔥

[@nithinelango1775]

Right!?

[@jwebby85]

I love the sound of that snare. Love brass snares and that one is tuned perfectly to suit any style of music. Pops for gospel while being big and beefy at the same time for contemporary. Grant it some of that big and beefyness comes from mics and compression and such. But it’s gotta start with heads and tuning first.

[@JeremyJohnn]

OTIS!!!! 🐐

[@devinfields4864]

Otis! 🔥🔥🔥

[@markjonathanarenas3127]

Amazing Job man.
