I was at this gig because my wife is in the choir so I remember this very well. The funny part is the tenor trying to stay focused between singing and Varo killing the entire time 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now this is perfect place to do your stuff. Everything he did fit and didn't mess up the grove. I love it! Most drummer placements be all over the place and throws everything off. I miss the old COGIC days. Practice was during service. This was for keyboard players and organist drummers etc. We all knew. If you mess up. Pastor was going to tell you to get up and let someone else play. It forced you to master your craft. Other words. First thing you learned was pocket. And you did one fill in a Sunday LOL. Every Sunday you learned a new trick. We could tell those who only had one trick lol. They did the same fill every time. We like bro if you do that lick one more time! Fun times fun times. There was no way to hide. If you was good it showed. If it wasn't for you! It showed. Beautiful part about it was. No one went to school to learn anything. We all were drumline before the movie ever came out. Natural skills. We didn't have click tracks either. I still think that's cheating but that's me. Same way I feel double bass pedal was cheating. You should be able to do that on a single. Dang if we could turn back hands of time with certain things. I still prefer the tube b3 organ. I can't stand the all electric Hammond. Ok I'm done lol
Big ups to the keyboard player keeping time. Because of him & the loop, Varo could spazz out without throwing the choir off (except the end). Varo…🥴🤦🏾♂️🔥
I’ve been playing since I was 7, after watching this I think I’m retiring, because this guy is on another level. Big ups to his co-musicians. It takes something to be able to keep up and not overshadow.
I wonder if that drum set is still up and kicking today😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Whoever owns it probably put it on a display case with a rope around it , and Plaque that says Varo Johnson played this drum set with the year and date and location . All jokes aside that’s a great dude
@@rayj1013 I'm definitely a Tommies fan and you are correct on the original version of the song. But the version that was being sung on THIS video was by Kenny Lewis & One Voice. You can also see him walking across the stage, close to the end of the video. I truly love both versions and Kenny Lewis & One Voice DEFINITELY did a great job in redoing this classic!!!!
*Warning*dont watch unless you are confident in making drums your lifestyle coz this Guys chops will put u off however if you are Varo will clearly inspire you to get urself on the drum kit get your metronome and drum play along tracks and practice...again just a warning.Varo always been inspiration love from the U.K♥
I've never known another person named Varo besides my grandson (He just turned 12 July 29th.) Edit: I meant meant to say that he did an awesome job on the drums! Superb. 🙏🏼👌🏼
Why did I feel more like Michael Myers was tryna kill me rather than Jesus trying to save me listening to this???? 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️... Varo killed though... lol

Nice...lol! Was this actually in Kalamazoo? I'm from there but dont recognize the spot. But then again I left like 10 years ago
Bruh....he couldn't stop turning around lol
What is the name of this song?
🔥
Varo sucks he sounds like a kid playing at a 3:30 service at a store front church. None of his chops says anything it’s just a bunch of noise
The way bruh looked back at 0:43 let’s u know what’s coming

I’ve never agreed with a comment more than I did with this one lol💯💯💯
Ayh bro ok this sound crazy but was u on the organ in Gary at a church a couple of weeks ago for face just look familiar as ever
@@greatnessofblackroots310 I do play but no. Drummer first, organ secondary.

Lacy! Spanky ! Heyward ! Varo ! Isaiah ! These dudes need a shed

The 1st 45 sec was all I needed 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Varo!!!!!!!!!!!!! Killing the break him and his brother Thad be on a mission when they play together
Big ups to the keyboard player keeping time. Because of him & the loop, Varo could spazz out without throwing the choir off (except the end). Varo…🥴🤦🏾♂️🔥
0:38 made me put my second AirPod in 🥴

Facts yo
I'm from the "D". And I must say, I've got to agree. Especially with y'all drummers. It's like y'all breed drummers.
Varo kept a solid groove. That’s what I like about him. Keep it going man. 🥁🔥🔥One of the best to ever do it on drums
OMG THAT WAS CRAZY!!! Varo just went in!!! One of my favorite drummers of all time! And I just loved that ride cymbal work! Great footage! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
If I may say it this way… y’all got me spiritually blushing this morning! God bless the creators of this tune🙌🏿 God is all in and over this!
This is a revamped version of a Milton Brunson/Tommies classic “He’ll Make It Alright” off the “Miracle” album (1984). What up Chi-town!!!!!
