Feel like everyone plays in churches! Amazing!! That's really the reason I started playing drums, it felt right to worship that way. Tanks for the lessons!
We are finally writting and playing our own original worship songs at church. We certainly love the Hillsong and Elevation tunes we cover, but it feels great having a few our own to throw in the mix. This video lesson is an awesome help for getting the groove just right! Thanks to Larnell and Drumeo for the guidance!
@@johndavolta3124 I don't know much about Hillsong (aside from some horrific stuff I just read), but Elevation has always felt like a scam to me. The first time I attended, there was 0 sermon, only music. The only time anybody spoke was to promote CD and merch sales. Steven Furtick is also kind of a gigantic dildo.
Love me some drumeo.... yes,gospel has many different styles infused into it today. I must be getting old, I remember when drums in church was too "secular" and many churches didn't allow them. now 7 +piece kits, mic up yes..progress
As a novice black drummer from a pretty religious family and a very spiritual and musical black church, I just wanna spread some wisdom shared with me by the serveral drummers we have at the church. (We have two drummers at the church, in case one is absent and two drummers for each of our adult choirs.) For gospel drumming you want to start quiet. The beginning of the song should be on cross-stick and should transition to quiet hits on the snare before the first chorus, and around the last chorus (and if your church is as enthusiastic as mine is, there probably will be a repeat of the chorus/encore) you wanna switch to ride. I say this because a lot of my church member are members of the older crowd and they would prefer if things got gradually and appropriately loud. Knowledge of Jazz, Swing, Funk, Boogie-Woogie, Rock n Roll and Caribbean drumming is pretty important due to the variation amongst Gospel and Spiritual music. (We have an international day at my church annually, so the instrumentatation must be able to preform ethnically diverse genres) CCM tends to be more similar to Rock, Country, Pop and Folk, so listening to these genres is pretty important. Playing Gospel is like playing in a band or group in that you must pay attention to the rest of the musicians and the singers as well as the situation you're playing in. However, this is Gospel. In the Gospel Genre, the religious message is much more important than the music at times. Also, I didn't know that there was a perception that Gospel drumming was about having amazing chops, I always thought that it was about sounding good and appropriate. My church's drummer's only demonstrate their chops during fills and during the end of the song's "fermata" of sorts. I hope this was informative, feel free to correct me on anything I said wrong, mispoke on or didn't say.
*Knowledge of Jazz, Swing, Funk, Boogie-Woogie, Rock n Roll and Caribbean drumming is pretty important due to the variation amongst Gospel and Spiritual music.* It's all from African voodoo. Understand what spirit is brought into the church of Jesus Christ.
Don't be negative, music is a gift from God to mankind so that we may worship Him, of course, God is God of variety. African Voodoo does not own music, they just borrowed and corrupted it. But the idea, the essence of music that is directed to the glorification of God is what's most important.
@Kingdom Chirch Philippinies...You dont know what you are talking about..African Voodoo did not borrowed or corrupted it. What is wrong with African Voodoo?..Have some respect for others beliefs and practices and learn history.
Any of you drummers out there that go to church, but don't play, seriously try to get in the choir. I learned so much about how my sound effects the other musicians just by playing in a church. You change venues some times too, so you may get the experience of learning how to play depending on the way sound propagates through the space. We didn't have any mics or plastic around our drums either, so it was all on me. It made me a significantly better drummer just through that alone, and you will usually have other church drummers that you will learn equally as much from them as well.
The last one is common in my youth and church. We always play Bethel and Hillsong music so it is great. Thanks so much for this video I really appreciate all the hard work you guys put in to this community. You really help grow many drummers and continue to inspire many more. You guys are dedicated to this and your hard work doesn't go unnoticed or tl waste either. Stay awesome guys, thank you.
I've been playing for thirty two years. Now, there were a few years that I did play professionally... from about 2002-2008. I absolutely still play every day 👍, but for the past fifteen years itZ been just for my own mental health and I'll play for my loved ones. I'm going to be playing for a Church starting this Thursday evening practice!!! I'm thrilled --always wanted to try it, but never had the opportunity (I'm Catholic and we only play hymn music). I'm so simultaneously excited and nervous!!! This video will help. Thank you so much, Drumeo!👍🥁🥁
For all of you who are watching this to play at church, myself included, never forget that our job is to lead worship and praise God not lead skillful or technical music. Amen brothers and sisters!
But the bible says to play SKILLFULLY unto the Lord. In today's hyper-sensitive church, people's feelings get hurt when we tell them to get BETTER. I agree on worshipping, but we lead the congregation into God's presence while leading the musicians into skillful playing.
Yes I know... we should strive to play better for God since we are lifting praise up to Him. Just saying never forget God cares about your heart more than your skills.
These are great and good to know beats, and it's great to have that 2-beat 'shout' chorus in your back pocket, in case people start jumpin' pews like in the Blues Brothers movie, but I theenk I woulda included the 6/8 swing ballad feel that I play about 75% of the time, when I'm in church. I find that when soul singers get ready to REALLY emote, they go for that 6/8 feel. I've heard older musicians refer to it as "Cut 12" or 'double waltz" time, whether swung or shuffled.
The last 2 grooves he did are more contemporary. I'm old school. In my era of church while growing up we didn't use Calypso or Rock oriented beats! Everything else here is pretty traditional. I'm glad he started with the old school blues shuffle. Both blues & country has it roots in gospel/negro spirituals!
Snarky Puppy is a band full of Freelance musicians so Michael League basically has a database of musicians to play if someone in the band can't make a date. So there will be times you see Larnell play instead of Sput or you'll see Greg Clark play or if you go back far enough Jason Marsalis did play for them a few times.
+giggs102 I was thinking about this yesterday. It's so awesome we drummers have this resource but it sucks there isn't anything like this for other instruments, at least, I've neither heard or seen anything like that.
Awesome ! Loved it :) Didn't know that Jared played Drums in Church too :) I did, my cousin did, fells like everyone did :D Great Lesson, keep it up :)
I have to say on the voice mics, the high frequecies are really loud, you get alot of room noise. It almost hurts to listen to. Content is really great study. :)
***** Touché. I pride myself on spelling and grammar. I guess I've never actually realized how it was properly spelled. And that's sad because I've been a drummer for 14 years...
+Sam Calin Well keep in mind the quality of these drum videos and lessons are so high I don't know how you could possibly expect them to be free all the time either. On top of that most of their free lessons are anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour plus long. I can't think of many other drum channels at this same caliber that do it for free, unless you know of any. A channel like this is already an incredible resource and expecting everything to be free cheapens the incredible amount of effort they put into it.
+asighofrelief Wow, thank you so much. Send me an email with your address and I'm going to make sure you get a new t-shirt very soon: jared@drumeo.com :)
+Drumeo WOW I DO NOT BELIEVE IT DRUMEO YOU JUST MADE MY DAY BY YOUR RESPONSE TO MY REQUEST THANKS IN A TRILLIONS I SAY THAT CAUSE I KNOW YOU ARE ALWAYS EXTREMELY BUSY I'M ALSO TRYING TO GET BACK IN THE FLOW OF DRUMMING AFTER THE RECENT LOSS OF MY MOTHER OVER THE HOLIDAY SEASON. NEVER NEW YOU PLAYED IN CHURCH ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU.
I used to do that thing he does with the hi hat (not to lift the right hand instead play with just lifting the wrist to the hh) but I never saw any one doing it so I "put" it away & to my surprise there it is......im so damn stupid
Reggie Ordonez maaaaaaannn have your pastor ever let the shout song go on for an hour that's why my father always told me to get paid for my craft cause it's real work.
The flick to the hi hat is something that I picked up after watching this video a few years ago, it really cleans things up and allows things to be quicker!
When he mentioned the calypso type of Beat, he mentioned Calvin Rodgers on the Martha Munizzi sing, he is also the same drummer on Fred Hammond's 'This is The Day'. He is also the same drummer for Marvin Sapp's albums.......he's an incredible musician. Look him up.
You guys should do some incorporated bass lessons of some kind, since there's so much communication between drummer and bassist. Maybe videos on how to sound the best together and what to listen for.
Huh? So I guess when I play blues, rock, metal and waltzes I'm actually playing gospel! Thanks so much for clarifying my misconceptions on what I was playing before, now I know all by beats are actually gospel beats! Cool!
Well...yes and no. I wish this guy was either better educated or a lil older cause he might know or be more knowledgeable bout the roots of American music in general n trap drumming specifically. American musical culture for the most part is black or derived from various African rhythms and chants. Europeans only really bring their ‘classical’ music to the mix and even that by way of inventions of various instruments is African but I digress. The basis for MOST American music is the Blues. All black Gospel music is/was based in Blues progressions which was created out of chants, field hollers and other choral innovations employed by Africans and their descendants as slaves. When he sez Waltz could be doubled into 6/8 which of course when played ‘straight’ is a standard African rhythm you’ve heard many times before. He never mentioned another Gospel staple which is that hand jive/Nawlin’s based/BoDiddley clave beat. When he mentions Caribbean for example he should just say African made popular by Caribbeans but it’s based in the Guanguancoe. As far as Blues/Rock/Metal....(leave out de Blues cause I already splained dat). Rock/Metal = Rock = Rock n Roll = Rock and Roll = Rhythm and Blues (R&B). Rock and Roll was a euphemism for sex and was what was much of da featured lyric of many a tune when this new music based in swingin Jazz was invented. It came from many but it’s main inventors were: New Orleans and it’s various intersectional play between the secular n sacred. THE place where Gospel met Jazz n all it’s polyrhythms n syncopation Louis Jordan (satire, sass and swing w/a lil sex). White folk used this as fuel to their racist black oversexed stereotype. He made the Nawlins stuff mainstream as the new thing Little Richard - soaring Gospel vocals now applied to this music. The first to make a serious vocal statement of note over this new music. Also heavy emphasis on rhythm. Ray Charles - combines Jazz, Gospel, R&B and introduces Soul into the mix. There’s also a heavier emphasis on big band orchestration as opposed to rhythm section Chuck Berry - brought the heaviest Blues into this mix. Emphasis here o. The guitar and that funny lil sweet spot where bluegrass or country n Blues are really quite similar. Rock n Metal were jes a way white folk n culture banditry felt the need to claim some shit for themselves. Ya can’t Git there from here. Hendrix n Funkadelic were really the best at even that. But prog rock, speed n death metal etc are all very evolved forms of music dat take much practice and skill to execute. But make no mistake bout it’s origins
Until the blues incorporated the speed of country music there was no rock and roll. And European metal bands have more in common with classical music and less, if none, with blues.
@@greatwhitenorth2077 none of it ever existed without the blues. euros brought basically nothing to the table relative to culture especially musical culture. rock and Roll's 'guitar' presence is but one integral part of that mix. that was Blues man Chuck Berry who brought it too.
@@humanityisdoomed2208 first of all you still don't understand the meaning of racism and prejudice or bigotry (from which we all suffer unfortunately). I never explicitly or implicitly said Blues are the root of Euro Classical music. Why would I it's bout the only thing they arrived at honestly....even though at least one of the best is of Moorish heritage. I'ts a shame how whites in general struggle with the truth often NOT found in history books. Everything from the names of the days of the week,countries, planets, months...are all constructs of your cultural mythologies...not really the truth but ...yknow it's yo world - we just occupying space lol
Jared thanks for pointing out those syncopated ghost notes at 4:45. I’ve been looking for a video like this. I’ve seen many many other gospel drummers also incorporate this same technique in their overall playing around the kit, but there’s rarely any youtube videos or sources teaching how to do it. I would like to see more video lessons really breaking it down and elaborating on it with exercises
Me too,I've been playing in Church for 50yrs, but I have to say that this idea that there is such a thing as "Gospel Drumming", is quite wrong, I play what the song/chorus requires,whether it be swing,shuffle,jazz,pop,rock etc etc, sure ,there are 4 or 5 basic patterns that will get you through most songs but to call it G.D is a bit of a misnomer.
I love how my favourite drummer Larnell Lewis taking us through how to play 7 Must know GOSPEL DRUM BEATS 😍❤️🩹♥️❤️💚💜 That’s a really good drum beat lesson on GOSPEL Chops
Can somebody elaborate the shuffle part? I thought shuffle is in triplets when the 1st and 3rd portions played. Here the shuffle is being defined as 16th notes.
I truly liked it. I'm learning. I'd appreciate it so much. Thank you sir for uploading it. More drum lessons for more. Thank you and God bless you. 😊👏🙌✨🎉🎈

He's super kind and very approachable. Great dude

Great info for young and upcoming church drummers, great lesson. Gospel music is a creative form of music!
I have no desire to play gospel drums in church. But I definitely desire to hear any wisdom Larnell has to offer! :)

mmmmmhhhhh..... grove #3......
am i allowed to play these beats if i'm white?
nope we can only play the standard rock beat wear skinny jeans and eyeliner and hope that gets us some attention
Kyle Schneid That would be cultural appropriation, so no. :P
Oh god I hate that term.
Kyle Schneid lol yeah
Lol yeah
if you play it right - lol.. of course - no color in drumming except fur the drum shells lol
The flick to the hi hat is something that I picked up after watching this video a few years ago, it really cleans things up and allows things to be quicker!
ive beem playing the wrong style of drums. i love these beats
The funk and soul comes from these beats. Then, the hip hop came from the funk and soul. These beats are everywhere.
Thank you Mr Lewis for your honest sharing and teaching.
Groove 3. That's how I play the hit hat as well. Makes it easier to groove and get that sound. Nice video
Jason Martin same
When he mentioned the calypso type of Beat, he mentioned Calvin Rodgers on the Martha Munizzi sing, he is also the same drummer on Fred Hammond's 'This is The Day'. He is also the same drummer for Marvin Sapp's albums.......he's an incredible musician. Look him up.
You guys should do some incorporated bass lessons of some kind, since there's so much communication between drummer and bassist. Maybe videos on how to sound the best together and what to listen for.
Huh? So I guess when I play blues, rock, metal and waltzes I'm actually playing gospel! Thanks so much for clarifying my misconceptions on what I was playing before, now I know all by beats are actually gospel beats! Cool!
Well...yes and no.
I wish this guy was either better educated or a lil older cause he might know or be more knowledgeable bout the roots of American music in general n trap drumming specifically.
American musical culture for the most part is black or derived from various African rhythms and chants.
Europeans only really bring their ‘classical’ music to the mix and even that by way of inventions of various instruments is African but I digress.
The basis for MOST American music is the Blues. All black Gospel music is/was based in Blues progressions which was created out of chants, field hollers and other choral innovations employed by Africans and their descendants as slaves.
When he sez Waltz could be doubled into 6/8 which of course when played ‘straight’ is a standard African rhythm you’ve heard many times before.
He never mentioned another Gospel staple which is that hand jive/Nawlin’s based/BoDiddley clave beat.
When he mentions Caribbean for example he should just say African made popular by Caribbeans but it’s based in the Guanguancoe.
As far as Blues/Rock/Metal....(leave out de Blues cause I already splained dat).
Rock/Metal = Rock = Rock n Roll = Rock and Roll = Rhythm and Blues (R&B).
Rock and Roll was a euphemism for sex and was what was much of da featured lyric of many a tune when this new music based in swingin Jazz was invented.
It came from many but it’s main inventors were:
New Orleans and it’s various intersectional play between the secular n sacred. THE place where Gospel met Jazz n all it’s polyrhythms n syncopation
Louis Jordan (satire, sass and swing w/a lil sex). White folk used this as fuel to their racist black oversexed stereotype. He made the Nawlins stuff mainstream as the new thing
Little Richard - soaring Gospel vocals now applied to this music. The first to make a serious vocal statement of note over this new music. Also heavy emphasis on rhythm.
Ray Charles - combines Jazz, Gospel, R&B and introduces Soul into the mix. There’s also a heavier emphasis on big band orchestration as opposed to rhythm section
Chuck Berry - brought the heaviest Blues into this mix.
Emphasis here o. The guitar and that funny lil sweet spot where bluegrass or country n Blues are really quite similar.
Rock n Metal were jes a way white folk n culture banditry felt the need to claim some shit for themselves.
Ya can’t Git there from here.
Hendrix n Funkadelic were really the best at even that.
But prog rock, speed n death metal etc are all very evolved forms of music dat take much practice and skill to execute.
But make no mistake bout it’s origins
Until the blues incorporated the speed of country music there was no rock and roll. And European metal bands have more in common with classical music and less, if none, with blues.
@@greatwhitenorth2077 none of it ever existed without the blues. euros brought basically nothing to the table relative to culture especially musical culture. rock and Roll's 'guitar' presence is but one integral part of that mix. that was Blues man Chuck Berry who brought it too.
See Great White North, you just can't argue with a racist. Classical music came from Blues? Uh, no.
@@humanityisdoomed2208 first of all you still don't understand the meaning of racism and prejudice or bigotry (from which we all suffer unfortunately). I never explicitly or implicitly said Blues are the root of Euro Classical music. Why would I it's bout the only thing they arrived at honestly....even though at least one of the best is of Moorish heritage. I'ts a shame how whites in general struggle with the truth often NOT found in history books.
Everything from the names of the days of the week,countries, planets, months...are all constructs of your cultural mythologies...not really the truth but ...yknow it's yo world - we just occupying space lol
Jared thanks for pointing out those syncopated ghost notes at 4:45. I’ve been looking for a video like this. I’ve seen many many other gospel drummers also incorporate this same technique in their overall playing around the kit, but there’s rarely any youtube videos or sources teaching how to do it. I would like to see more video lessons really breaking it down and elaborating on it with exercises
I've been drumming in churches most of my life, and I agree that this is the Gospel drum starter package. Well done!
Me too,I've been playing in Church for 50yrs, but I have to say that this idea that there is such a thing as "Gospel Drumming", is quite wrong, I play what the song/chorus requires,whether it be swing,shuffle,jazz,pop,rock etc etc, sure ,there are 4 or 5 basic patterns that will get you through most songs but to call it G.D is a bit of a misnomer.
Really love this!! Praise the Lord!! Just subscribed my friends!!
This video is awesome I am going to practice all of these hard-core!
I love how my favourite drummer Larnell Lewis taking us through how to play 7 Must know GOSPEL DRUM BEATS 😍❤️🩹♥️❤️💚💜 That’s a really good drum beat lesson on GOSPEL Chops

You're a Phenomenon Drummer Mr. Lewis...I'm inspired.
Beautiful playing man. I'm no church-goer, but your playing takes me a bit closer to God.
Wow, love that little HH trick. Instantly added to my arsenal
Crazy my uncle is lead singer for mighty clouds of joy that’s quartet gospel, What I was raised off 🔥💪🏽
Can somebody elaborate the shuffle part? I thought shuffle is in triplets when the 1st and 3rd portions played. Here the shuffle is being defined as 16th notes.
