Way Maker - Leeland Drum Cover HD

Hi guys! I've been looking forward to making this video! Our church has started worshiping to this song and I thought it would be great to showcase on my channel. I switched up the setup for this video (and possibly more) to fit more to the style of song. I actually enjoy playing different setups all the time because it frees you up to try new things. I'm thinking about doing a tutorial on this song so please let me know in the comments if you would like to see that!

that ride is buttery smooth

[@RuphiaYen]

Yes pleaseee full breakdown

[@eymardvillar2724]

does the cymbal really sound like that or it is just on the way it is mixed?

[@chrisstanleydrums]

MELZON EYMARD VILLAR I’m not doing anything to change the way they sound explicitly so I would say that’s the real sound. They really do sound that good!

[@frankwp1136]

god bless you my friend, greetings from Peru! 🇵🇪

[@TheOpinionGuyy]

Have you ever thought of doing Indonesian Gospel cover? They produce a great songs.. You should check out More than enough - JPCC Kau terhebat - JPCC Raja yang hebat - JPCC

[@jonnyathon]

What I really appreciate about this is that it is a true cover, not just a bunch of random riffs to show off how good you are. I feel like I can show my church drummers this and they can get a good idea of how the song should be played.

[@chrisstanleydrums]

That's my goal with these! I'll mix it up playing live but my covers generally are trying to show the original part.

[@HeavenlyWhispers.777]

You are right

[@christianninovaleroso8565]

Jonathan Dunham agreed!! 💯

[@MusicLover-ov4je]

...and that's what I think the drummers should do most of the time - to compliment with the song & support the vocal. Sad to see drummers in some churches just getting the attention of congregation(maybe unintentionally) instead of ushering them into worship.

[@euntrue9154]

MusicLover agreeee omyyy

[@harleylopez3587]

I am so blessed because you are playing drum for God ❤️ when I'm 12 years old I've been watching you and know I'm 15 I still love your videos because I'm a drummer too

I love this guy he is incredible

[@joshrogers7818]

This guys has covered most of my fav songs , great work mate keep it up👍

[@edwardjdeaton]

Chris you have quickly become my favorite and go to for drum covers. I seriously appreciate the attention to detail and preciseness. You are a real technician of the craft. Your covers are clean, articulate and accurate. Your kit and mix sounds and multiple video angles are excellent. I pray you know how much we appreciate you and your work. I have played for worship most of my life. Most of it spent playing by ear and old school worship. I have recently been given the honor and privilege of joining a new worship team. The modern approach to worship songs with much song specific drumming and click tracks are completely new to me. I’m loving learning again after so many years, and your covers are helping me so much. Thank you sir and God Bless You!

[@thruaway5036]

I love watching your drum covers because you are not overplaying and you somewhat helped me see that I have that kind of problem. You play cleanly and your drum fills are usable on most type of songs which is very important when drumming. I learned a lot from your techniques and fills.

[@bmorales1657]

precious song, I worship You

[@owenkelchner5387]

You have the cleanest and most accurate drum covers I've found d on KZbin. I'm working on this song and you're cover has greatly helped. Still not as clean as you or I'd like but definitely improving. I also used your version of What a beautiful name! Much thanks for the great covers!!! You're seriously talented bro!

[@chrisstanleydrums]

Owen Kelchner thanks man. I try to be as accurate as possible. Glad it helps!

[@adabztv256]

I love this christian song and this cover

[@aprillegraceautida3679]

I've been waiting to hear from you this year. Been a fan for years!! Thank you fro sharing your talent to the the world for God's glory.

[@aidanpelletier3242]

Love those toms!

[@JP-zk6qk]

Hey Chris! Thank you for making more drum covers. I've been watching your videos since 10 yrs old and now im 16 and you've been a big help to me. God bless.

[@SergePupko]

I typically love guitar, especially ambient, in worship music and that's what I play at my church but this rendition of Way Maker has especially powerful drum and you captured it beautifully. Bravo.

[@SonRiseforNathaniel]

Tom tone is top-notch!

[@diegomelo7332]

It's so good to see someone who knows what they're doing, very confident in each application, the perfect basics

[@ryangovender6277]

Never forget that Jesus is here to protect you believe in Jesus and you will be saved cause You will not fear the terror of night nor the arrow that flies by day , nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness , nor the plague that destroys in midday !

[@randyjones1962]

Wow, cleanest, best cover I’ve seen for this song yet. Drums and cymbals sound amazing...loved the little more rocker style version as well.

[@shemnamuco5996]

I watched your video since I am wanting to play drums, the first video I watched was “What a beautiful name”. Now I am blessed to see you did a new cover and Thank God, I am now playing at church by His will. I hope someday I’ll be a great drummer like you. God bless you bro. Btw, nice beard tho. 🙏🏻 fr. Philippines.

[@judahemory9877]
