This song was written by Brooke Fraser. She’s an amazing song writer and vocalist. I wanted to write drums to it the first time I heard it this year and had it ready in time for PASIC 2017. Thanks for watching!
The comments about this being overdone or “I don’t get this” or something of that sort: Matt is a world class drummer, he knows exactly what he’s playing and why he’s doing it. Being that PASIC is a place where drummers come showcase their talent & chop away, I think his choosing of a song he likes is a really mature musical decision. This dude is a machine & one of the worlds most refined drummers in his genre. We could all learn a lesson from this, he is glorifying our creator. Keep chuggin Matt.
This demonstration is actually very helpful for church drummers especially ones that play for youth services, making them look at more variations without overplaying.
Michael DeCouto Sorry, bro. I don't agree at all. With all respect. He definitely missed the goal to serve the song...!!! Maybe he has a lot of skills. But that's not all. This is a completely different song he is playing. And the beginning of the bridge...completely out of time...!! I think, not really a good example to implement a worship-song. Sure... "if the heart is right"...🤷🏿♀️🙈 But let's stay objective.... A good drummer serves the song. Here the song serves the drummer so that he can show what he can do...🙈 I would put him off-stage...
Michael DeCouto -thank you for watching Matt’s back. A class act description of the character and talent that Matt has. He is one of my favorite drummers. I have watched him and ABR for twelve years now, and listening to Hillsong even longer.
MrJbillabong7 Matt iis at a drum clinic. In this case the song does serve the drummer. If you are going to be critical then go watch Hillsongs drummer. Or multiple drummers.
@@JoshEnsley1990 The evidence of my claim is the lack of evidence of them being Christians. Matt and Jake are the only two who still mention Jesus in any way. You never hear the other 3, ever. That in itself is hard evidence. Jesus is #1 in the life of a Christian. If a 'Christian' never mentions Jesus, one should question the legitimacy of their claims.
@@JoshEnsley1990 That's not how it works though. If a Christian shows absolutely no evidence of fruit in their life, especially if they're in the public eye, that is huge evidence that they're not who they claim to be.
Never meant to sound religious/spiritual and jazz. But having Matt given his platform and stature representing "the" big names in the industry, at an event wherein he could literally showboat with all that he has in his arsenal and it would absolutely seem so normal. He chose to do something that would edify others. Kudos to you Matt! So before anyone could say 'this is a little too much' and all such stuff on a song of this sorts. I'd like to voice it saying, job well done. Sticking to his grounds and revealing what's truly on the inside. Genuine dude. You've inspired me Matt. After all I really wish church music sounded anywhere close to this! P.S. 'Psalm 33:3 #PlaySkilfully'
"There is beauty in tragedy, the heart will stop beating, but the end is a new beginning, we'll soar above the skyline of reality, and reach towards a love ever after, as we're grasping on to faith"... the first time I heard that I knew I wanted it tattooed on my back forever...sometimes something just "hits you" you don't have to explain why to anyone else. This man held back, and UNDERPLAYED his ability, because he just loved this song, maybe it "hit him", and then used a MASSIVE outlet to show up and just be real, with other guys throwing out technique that he has locked...or else created!!!...THAT my friends, is the good-good. I'm not just impressed, I'm proud as ever.
That has got to be the best cover of this song I’ve ever seen. It’s true when people say Matt can play drums to anything, what an inspiration. Even a year later he’s got me wanting to get behind the kit again. 😂
Spot on. The drummer controls the mood and intensity of the music and the audience... drummers run the show. But the best drummers don't have to make sure everyone there actually knows that.
God gave you an incredible gift you are one of the best drummers in the world and it is good that you dedicate your life and what you do for God God bless you greetings from Mexico
I did something like that when I played this song gets me going it’s awesome I get into it and abuse the tombs and double pedal at my church then when it goes ride metal thing ohhhh it’s sooo good
Thank you for being true to your gifts and calling Matt. So much respect. Many fall by the wayside along the march. I pray God’s angels protect you and ABR.
Amazing! god loves u, god loves us. For god who loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Matt you have a gift... thank you so much for writing and demonstrating this line for the drums! Watching and listening to the lines you wrote to Brooke's song got me so excited to worship... I couldn't help but jump up and praise God! What a powerful Name it is!!!
Hey Matt. You've got an amazing talent. And I'm awestruck in your passion to exalt Christ in your deeds. Bless you and keep shining for the kingdom. Always a fan of your work. I guess you should be doing this a lot more often! Keep scaling, may you have the best in all your endeavors. :)
@Elliot Nzeyimana and you think you are teen pro drummer but your channel is just made for trolls. Go home and make your own cover, get lost if you can't.
Yes!!!! Matt!! Freaking incredible!! I love what you did with the song!! That technique during the chorus and that HUGE bridge build up!!! That was so intense!! You can feel the intension passion and spirit moving! Great job!!
the Scipture says "worship him with skillfull songs, with loud cymbals"? i don't get it why do people think that because you are a christian you have to play quietly and smother you talent (also in the scripture says make your talent grow) for me most of christians are close minded about music. i'll end up with this, music is a way of worshipping wirte? so why the musician couldn't let go?
Yes! Will Always LOVE This One!!! JESUS YES! ALL POWER WAS GIVEN UNTO HIM, IN HEAVEN, AND IN THE EARTH!!! YES!!! THE VICTORY HAS ALREADY BEEN WON!!!!😊😊😊😇🙏❤
Amazing!!! Both my #1 favorite band (ABR.. well Matt) covering one of my favorite worship songs!!!! And awesome how you can show your true colors and spread the name of Jesus to that clinic!
I already thoroughly enjoyed August Burns Red, but this is just icing on the cake! I love it!! One of my favorite worship songs right now, with drums by my favorite drummer!
Psalms 150:5-6 Praise him with the clash of cymbals, Praise him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.
I smile so hard every time I listen to this because it’s so completely different from original. I absolutely love it. Let’s not forget he is doing a drum clinic I’m guessing and that’s what he’s supposed to do is be phenomenal. Lastly I love your smile around the two minute mark. God Did Bless You
Man let Christ move through you!!! That’s awesome only if my worship leader would let me take over a song like that. Thank you for showing your talent and hard work.
I had no idea you were a Christian! That's awesome - and what a gift you have too! I love playing this tune in my church (it's on our set for this Sunday coming), but I should probably avoid copying this (as if I actually could! 😂) God bless!
I’ve been drumming for nearly 20 years now (started around 12-13yo), and am still trying to get to his level lol. It wasn’t until this year that my wrists (mainly the left one) finally started cooperating to let me refine double strokes. It takes thousands of hours of time/practice/refining the technical work, but the more you work the better you’ll get. I came across this guys channel, where Matt actually gave an hour plus long clinic, and have copied it in this reply to help you guys out. Don’t quit and keep improving for His Kingdom! ruclips.net/video/M59XbJWJLVI/видео.html
What’s up with all the “overplaying” and “too much” comments? Goodness gracious, let the man just have fun. I love what he did to make it more upbeat without playing out of the song. I mean ABR has put breakdowns in Christmas songs and in a Britney Spears song lol in my opinion it makes it all the better! God Bless, Matt
I think there was a similar comment, but worth mentioning again. Thanks for playing the version of this song that we hear in our heads during worship. Soli Deo gloria!
Yeah, sure if he was playing at church, but in this current situation he wasn't, he was actually at an event where he could play infront of thousands of amazing drummers and drumming companies and he used the buildup transistion to do a drum solo (which may not have gone great again in a worship enviromnent) which is perfectly normal when drumming in certain situations.
Overplaying ? this is PASIC not a church lol.... Btw the song touches his heart and soul, he's just being a professional in front of all the audience and at the same time they are all playing drums.God bless you by playing What A Beautiful Name by Hillsong....
Way to go Matt! In one of you QnA's interview you said you would have played drums for Hillsong United if you would have not formed ABR. Well, I see you fit in very good in both the bands. Legend!!!
![Tee Grizzley - Detroit (Feat. 42 Dugg) [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/aeKfTtt0x14/mqdefault.jpg)
Seeing a metal drummer playing worship is hilariously amazing. You're the best dude.
Those who are not liking this video must not know how abr started and what they are about and how they praise even thru their music this is awesome .
Thumbs up if this is for the GLORY OF OUR RISEN KING!
This song was written by Brooke Fraser. She’s an amazing song writer and vocalist. I wanted to write drums to it the first time I heard it this year and had it ready in time for PASIC 2017. Thanks for watching!
Matt Greiner please play this on the 3rd here in the Philippines!
This is the best drum cover of this Song!!! Always our favourite. God bless you Matt Greiner 😇
Awesome cover, Matt!! God Bless You!!
Thanks for playing what goes thru my mind while playing that song at church. You're the man, Matt.
Do you play it this way in church too? I'm gonna steal some of the parts next time we play it at church.
The comments about this being overdone or “I don’t get this” or something of that sort:

People saying how this is overplayed, but I'm here like "lemme just use that bit and that bit and that bit the next time I play this song" 😂😂
you wanna see overplayed check out any Gospel drummer that just plays as fast as they can with absolutely no feeling IMO
They only say cuz they can't doo.. playing this song the same next sunday
Jesus name above all..
Glory to God
From Nepal.
From india
Im not born again but i love hillsong since 2001 until now every i heard the worship song i feel blessed...
Godbless you sir matt..
Respect for playing this at Pasic! Love your parts too 🙌
ABR needs to make a worship cover album 💪
Wouldn't really call it appropriate when not all members are Christians.

Georgin Jacob you're welcome! God bless you too
You nailed it bro #playskillfully

Terrell Spivey amen
Who else was just waiting for that half time China double bass breakdown he’s perfected!??? Hahahahaa
esprich made the song complete lol
Yusssssss!!!
that would go nicely at the end of the bridge.
🤣🤣🤣
What time frame?
One of my absolute favorite songs from Hillsong just got even better!!!
Thank You for sharing this and for lifting up his name!

that’s how Dale would rip it
😂😂😂

2:42 This is awesome! it sounds like he's using a double pedal! Dude, that's crazy! 🤘🏼 Keep rocking Matt, God Bless!
He does start using one at 2:58 lol but even before that you’re right - wow!
Keep rocking the Worship songs 🤷🏻♂️
God gave you an incredible gift you are one of the best drummers in the world and it is good that you dedicate your life and what you do for God
God bless you
greetings from Mexico
AWESOME. Viewed repeatedly 70+ times over.
I love that you play and listen to both metal and worship!! 🤘🏽 rock on man
Does this mean the next Hillsong album is going to have breakdowns in drop C?
Keenan D You know, you never know!
I'm weak 😂😂
Maybe
Haha no man no
I did something like that when I played this song gets me going it’s awesome I get into it and abuse the tombs and double pedal at my church then when it goes ride metal thing ohhhh it’s sooo good
Thank you for being true to your gifts and calling Matt. So much respect. Many fall by the wayside along the march. I pray God’s angels protect you and ABR.
Amazing! god loves u, god loves us. For god who loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Drummer for Christ!
👍
Serve the lord while you can , use your gift which was given to you by the lord . King of kings lord of lords
Best drummer I’ve ever heard hands down
Matt you have a gift... thank you so much for writing and demonstrating this line for the drums! Watching and listening to the lines you wrote to Brooke's song got me so excited to worship... I couldn't help but jump up and praise God! What a powerful Name it is!!!
Hey Matt. You've got an amazing talent. And I'm awestruck in your passion to exalt Christ in your deeds. Bless you and keep shining for the kingdom. Always a fan of your work. I guess you should be doing this a lot more often! Keep scaling, may you have the best in all your endeavors. :)

Que fantástico ver tocar a Matt Greiner música congregacional, bendiciones desde Colombia.
PD. También me gusta August Burns Red!
Brings a smile to my Face , WE ARE NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL ! EXPRESSION IN CHRIST!!!!
Beautiful song for the glory of God!
Hillsong should need to see this and might include Matt on their album, what a powerful cover it is. God bless everyone.
That is a big no from them. He will ruin the spirit of this worship song with that way of playing.
@Elliot Nzeyimana and you think you are teen pro drummer but your channel is just made for trolls. Go home and make your own cover, get lost if you can't.
Yes!!!! Matt!! Freaking incredible!! I love what you did with the song!! That technique during the chorus and that HUGE bridge build up!!! That was so intense!! You can feel the intension passion and spirit moving! Great job!!
Favorite drummer covers favorite worship band...makes for a great evening
Still can't believe I got one drum lesson from this stud. Well played there teach 😊
What a beautiful name it is 😇☝️☝️
Now I have a new way to try and play this during worship!!
Jim P hahaha please no man
xD
Just don't our motive being a part of worship team is not to impress people but to bring people closer to God by worshiping ..
the Scipture says "worship him with skillfull songs, with loud cymbals"? i don't get it why do people think that because you are a christian you have to play quietly and smother you talent (also in the scripture says make your talent grow) for me most of christians are close minded about music. i'll end up with this, music is a way of worshipping wirte? so why the musician couldn't let go?
@@magni67 to distracting for the congregation. You’ll be breaking the connection to God instead of creating one.
Matt is so incredibly creative. Especially with his fills
I like too much the bridge part.
Tuhan Yesus memberkati. 💕👍👏🙏
Love this! You need to put this on paper.. I just can’t nail that beat!
Powerful and incredible. Standing ovation....Glory to God
I hope i could play drums. Such a talented man for God's glory. Keep it up! God bless you.
Yes! Will Always LOVE This One!!! JESUS YES! ALL POWER WAS GIVEN UNTO HIM, IN HEAVEN, AND IN THE EARTH!!! YES!!! THE VICTORY HAS ALREADY BEEN WON!!!!😊😊😊😇🙏❤
What a beautiful drumming it is Matt..
Lovely !! God bless !!
I love your take on this. I’ve drummed this one many Sundays with our group but really dig your interpretation.
If you like his style, this may help you get closer to it. You’re welcome 😊
ruclips.net/video/M59XbJWJLVI/видео.html
I absolutely love this song, and it’s even better seeing the drummer of August Burns Red playing it
You made me love this song even more!!!! Love your passion !!! In God’s❤️ name
The people here saying this was overplayed are either being purposely obtuse or can't read that THIS IS AT A CONFERENCE FOR DRUMMERS.
fdsafdsafdsafdsafdasfdasfdsafdsa are you a bass line or a quad guy...both lines added shit when I was in the game lots of years ago...😁
This would have been way overplayed if at a church service but since it's at drummers conference it's fine.
people keep saying town it down? never!!! play it from your heart most that matters
yess haha this is a drummer conference.... the way it is played is subjective to the event... that is why he played it like that.
still its teaching drummers to play over which in a worship team this is not ideal....
I have no idea that it is you. And this song is exalting my spirit every time i listen.
Judgement day will be come to the world. Jesus is my savior
Amazing!!! Both my #1 favorite band (ABR.. well Matt) covering one of my favorite worship songs!!!! And awesome how you can show your true colors and spread the name of Jesus to that clinic!
That left foot on the high hat for so long... good lord
Ar
😂😂😂😂😂
You know who he is
That hi hat sounds like what I imagine Angels singing sounds like..
I already thoroughly enjoyed August Burns Red, but this is just icing on the cake! I love it!! One of my favorite worship songs right now, with drums by my favorite drummer!
Psalms 150:5-6
Praise him with the clash of cymbals,
Praise him with resounding cymbals.
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord.
Very, very good!!!

Glory to God!!!
Just how Jesus would have wanted the drums for this song to be played.
I smile so hard every time I listen to this because it’s so completely different from original. I absolutely love it. Let’s not forget he is doing a drum clinic I’m guessing and that’s what he’s supposed to do is be phenomenal. Lastly I love your smile around the two minute mark.
God Did Bless You
I love ABR & I love Hillsong.....awesome!!
WOOWWW!!!! I LOVE THIS!!! INSPIRING!! God bless you bro!
i really like the groove in the 1st chorus
simply beautiful...amazing drumming..love it!!
Man let Christ move through you!!! That’s awesome only if my worship leader would let me take over a song like that. Thank you for showing your talent and hard work.
Wow! You did good dude 👍🏻 God bless you🙏🏻
I had no idea you were a Christian! That's awesome - and what a gift you have too! I love playing this tune in my church (it's on our set for this Sunday coming), but I should probably avoid copying this (as if I actually could! 😂) God bless!

Over-playing during this kind of worship just kills it
pearldrummerbrx This is a conference for drummers, not a worship set, he just chose the song cause he liked it
🤦♂️🤦♂️
this is how drummers wanna be playing this song on sundays xD
Understanding this is not in the context of corporate worship is very cool and reassuring
Do more of these! I love it!
That was awesome Matt!! That red DW drum kit is beautiful!!
I’m glad this was a clinic and not an actual worship session.
I think there was a similar comment, but worth mentioning again. Thanks for playing the version of this song that we hear in our heads during worship. Soli Deo gloria!
Toca Muito!
Você é minha Referência! 😎🤝
I started laughing so hard during the instrumental between the chorus and the bridge 😂😂😂
elias pinales Why?
that part was pretty sick
Dexterwolf there’s so much going on lol it loses its feel. He’s overplaying
Ethan Vaden i mean sure if it was a drum solo but not in a worship song yah feel lol?
Yeah, sure if he was playing at church, but in this current situation he wasn't, he was actually at an event where he could play infront of thousands of amazing drummers and drumming companies and he used the buildup transistion to do a drum solo (which may not have gone great again in a worship enviromnent) which is perfectly normal when drumming in certain situations.
wish i heard this at my church
It’s amazing.....love from India 🇮🇳
Overplaying ? this is PASIC not a church lol....
Btw the song touches his heart and soul, he's just being a professional in front of all the audience and at the same time they are all playing drums.God bless you by playing What A Beautiful Name by Hillsong....
Way to go Matt! In one of you QnA's interview you said you would have played drums for Hillsong United if you would have not formed ABR. Well, I see you fit in very good in both the bands. Legend!!!
First Kanjanavikai tell me if I am wrong. Or are you trying to be a grammar nazi?
Merry X mass. Thank you Lord.. Thanks Matt, awsomeness!
The song and the drum cover is nice.
I would add this up on my next drumpad cover. Praise the name of Jesus.
Chubby little drummer here
2:04 whoaaa!!!!
Que benção 🙌🏽🙏🏽🥁🥁
Psalms 150:5! This awesome! Everyone here is entitled to their opinion, but only God knows a worshipper’s heart. So awesome.
This Bit bring everything alive
Bro chill !! Hahaha. Easy relax!!!
Drummer at the wrong gig 🤣
Don't even listen to worship but I can dig the song with the drums.
Already had you in the top of my list of favorite drummers, if you weren't the #1 before you are now!! This is awesome man!
Nice fills bro, but Just like what Don Moen said, “ DONT OVERPLAY”
Correct
Oooh noooo!!! I don't think this is the song for a solo drummer
Yes it is.
Don't worry, you pick any song you want IF you get invited to play in PASIC.
One of the best cover online. Beautifully done.
Absolutely unbelievable!!!! Fantastic!!!!
Needs some blast beats
Uhhh a little overplaying if you’re in a mass setting lol
No man just listen to the song
This is cool new version skill fully demonstrated Praise God & God bless
Brother i love you, i love your music and i love this. God bless you and your family.
