Welcome to my UA-cam channel!
I help worship drummers learn songs 10x faster so they can focus on worship rather than getting nervous and distracted by beats, fills, transitions etc.
My method in which I use to help worship drummer accomplish this also opens up doors for creativity so they can come up with their own fills, grooves, and Ideas so they can play with freedom on the kit instead of playing the same boring things over and over.
If you're putting too much time into preparing for service then you might be a good fit for me to teach you my proprietary charting system. My system has enabled my students, many can't even read music or count very well when they started, to now being able to learn songs 10x faster and play confidently on the worship team in about 90 days time.

Finally found a most helpful video
@@gelay3094 thank you! Let me know if you have any further questions.
Super helpful. Thanks! 🙏
@@JBoogsDeluxe thanks for watching man!
This is great, Adam. Thank you.
@@lizbluesky8412 you're very welcome!
Do you have the file for the camera mount?
I will see if I can get it for you.
I have made a few "Fail" videos and I have another coming up soon. Think I'll try a bit of commentary like you did here. BTW, church drumming, if you play it as it's recorded, is boring. When I first started, I played like the track. One day I just started do my own thing (I'm a classic rock drummer). We finished the song and the worship team leader and the pastor (who walked in during practice), asked me if I was going to do my own thing from now on. Here's my thoughts on drumming, whether it be church or drum cover, stay within the spirit of the song and play what feels right. That was 4 years ago and I am still at Two Rivers in Cortland, ny. No acoustic drums at church so I play the provided Roland TD-30
How to use that fill if I have 1 tom and a floor tom?
@@lazysai7839 hey thanks for watching. Which fill are you referring to? Overall you'll just have to adapt it to your kit. So use the rack tom or floor tom again instead.
@AdamZDrumming fill 2 and 3, I saw two floors tom you used. so total is 3 toms so i thought maybe tom 2 is the other one. so I'm asking where to beat or counting because one tom and one floor tom total of 2 toms. We only had our drum set. example of counting is 1&2&3&4&. 3(snare) &(tom 1) 4(tom 2) &(floor tom) where do I put the beat 4 (tom 2) because we don't have tom 2? hope you can help me.
@@lazysai7839As long as it's in time and the same amount of hits you can play whatever combination of drums you want. A few examples for fill 2 you could do 3 on snare the & of 3 on Tom 1 then the 4 & on floor tom. Or you could play 1 on snare the &3& on Tom 1 and then the 4& on your floor tom. As long as you're starting on 3 (fill 2) ending up back on your crash + bass on 1 it will work within time so you can experiment with what sounds good.
Great video, man! How do you record this without hearing the click track?
@@EstebanOnGuitar thanks for watching man. I record into my tascam and make sure only one side is plugged in so it's mono. Then whatever I pan hard right you can only hear super quiet. This only works if your iem mixer is hooked up stereo though.
@@AdamZDrumming Nice! That's a great idea. My church has stereo IEM's. So, do you only listen to the right side live that way you hear the click?
@@EstebanOnGuitar yeah you have to have the click panned right as you're playing too. That's what I always do so I'm used to it.
@@AdamZDrumming okay, cool. I’m going to give it a shot. Appreciate it!
Its great to have you sharing your information! Im hoping to start one of our youth on djembe african drum and then move to a drum set... so im praying and came across your site!!! Praise God 👏 🙌🏼....Lord bless you as you continue to use your gifting to lift the Lord and pour into others👍🏼 God bless!
That's awesome that you're helping the youth at your church. Have you considered just getting them started on kit right away if that's the end goal?
Thank you for this video. You touched on a couple issues I have and I didn't realize how they were holding me back. Also thank you for your confidence in the Holy Spirit and encouraging us to take our "7" to the Father in faith that He will help us through!

@@RavenWindrunner good to know! Thanks for watching
If you feel this kit seems like a good fit for you then purchase it here: amzn.to/3D3UDMn
Thank you for your excellent and very helpful deep dive review! I was close to buying this product to learn from scratch, but just for fun, nothing serious. I like pretend-drumming in the air when I’m enjoying certain music, so I thought this might be even more fun. Given that I’m not planning to be a serious drummer, but rather, to get some audio feedback for my fooling around pretend drumming, would that be OK or would I be doing myself a disservice?
Hey Paul thanks for your comment. I don't think you would be doing yourself a disservice especially if you're just trying to have some fun with it. I do think you should think about it and determine if you actually want to be able to play though and either go all in or don't. I think a lot of people say "I'm not serious about it" as a defense mechanism because they're afraid they won't be any good at it, when in reality no one is good at it when they first start out lol. If you do decide to purchase it be sure to use my link. I would greatly appreciate it!
@@AdamZDrumming Hey Adam, nice to hear back from you so soon. Thank you, you’ve given me much to think about. Ironically, in my case I’m not worried about whether or not I’m any good at it to start with. I play piano at an OK level and I’ve developed a reasonable sense of timing over the years. I’m in my mid 50s now with family responsibilities, so any musical activities will be just for fun and decompressing after work. Really appreciate where you’re coming from though. If I could wind back the clock I’d definitely love to go all in seriously. Or I can keep that in mind for retirement! I’ll be glad to use your link if I end up purchasing. Thanks again, Adam.
@@PaulJRBarnett I think the only disservice you might be doing for yourself is not giving this the level of effort it deserves. There are plenty of guys who I teach who are family men and still make time for it. It's easy in the beginning to pick up a lot of bad habits teaching yourself and playing music is much more enjoyable when you have some level of skill. This doesn't mean you have to shirk your family or responsibilities, but I would give it some more attention than the you're talking about it. Just something to think about.
A May ZING!!
@@nikisalcido5237 thanks Niki check Kollab I sent you a message!
Nice job. Self-assessment is painful, and it's brave of you to sit down and expose your own hits and misses. Thanks!
Are you committing any of these 7 deadly sins?
I like your style Adam
Yes probably all of them

Very helpful sir❤ thank you so much
@@rajeshphangcho4989 you're welcome!
You could say the same about Phil Collins as an artist. He became one of the greatest artists of our time. He probably went through similar hardships to get there. Doesn’t mean he can’t be studied for different genres of music. The main character may be unstable but to discredit his determination because of that is dishonest
@@markojankovich6835 I respect that opinion..I wasn't trying to discredit him, but to reflect on whether or not his determination is actually misplaced or flat out unhealthy. What do you think?
What do you think about this movie?
I am a church player and I love worship drums and i am a beginner and I won't to learn how to play drums
Thanks for your comment! Where are you from?
Hoping you all get value out of this one. I know it's kind of long, but I think you can learn a lot from this one!
Excellent review man.. Aerodrums 1 is an amazing solution if you struggle with noise/space issues… and totally agree it can help improve technique when you come to play on a ‘real’ kit.. I think Aerodrums 2 will be incredible 😮.. I don’t work for Aerodrums, I bought mine about 8 years ago and been a fan ever since 👍😎
@@Aerodrummer thanks for watching man!
Have faith in me by adtr?
Listening to the song right now because of your comment. Never heard it before lol
Hi Adam thanks for your drumming lessons, I've been bless with all your teaching May our good Lord bless you abundantly 1Corrinthians 15:58
Hi Brother Adam, I am from Papua New Guinea for short we call it (PNG) and I am a self thought musician in my church and I believed it's a gift from God course I didn't attend any drumming classes but I learn it by seeing and hearing through others after seeing your drumming lessons in your UA-cam tutorial I am bless because you didn't teach piano only but also the word of God you share as bless and it urged mi to comment again thanks so much .
Since when did religion have their own drum fills asking for a friend
@@NewsFuZe747 people make content for who we want to reach.
Very helpful thank u
I❤ this so helpful
Subscribed 👍
I see Musicianship a little bit differently. To me it’s something separate from technique. We have to know how to play our instrument. Musicianship has to do with our ability to create dynamics, listen and respond to what we hear, respond to unexpected changes, and support our leader / director.
Hi my name is moses
Very nice of teaching progressively. Thank you.
100% agree with your tips! They provide a firm foundation for every worship drumming at every level. Well done, Adam!
Thankyou so much. God bless you😇🙏
Thank you for this video,, it helped me a lot😊
I’m playing Aerodrums since 2015. In the beginning I just wanted to know if this could be used as a practice instrument for learning drum technique for somebody who cannot play drums at home. But today I’m using it for nearly all my musical activities: homework, all my rehearsals with several groups and even occasional gigs. The first thing I like is that I can take MY drum set everywhere I want without needing a car. I’ve found some techniques for developing an artificial rebound and I’m showing one of them in my UA-cam channel. My kick doubles I’m doing like you are showing and, generally speaking, I found it’s a good muscle builder to play without a pedal. But I highly command using some EVA Foam Interlocking Tiles under your feet. This gives some sort of rebound and protect your knees. I’m using a double layer of this and take it everywhere. Now what you encounter with your 6 stroke roll was also driving me crazy in the beginning, up to I found out what's happening. It comes from the fact how Aerodrums works. In opposite of any other electronic drumming system, Aerodrums doesn’t detect how hard (or soft) you’re hitting. Instead it calculates dynamic response by measuring the speed of your strokes. And this works (normally) very well. But in your case Aerodrums detects your fast movement going from the tom (wrist angle ~45°) to the snare (wrist angle ~0°) and can interpret this movement itself as a stroke. For that the first stroke of your doubles with the left hand sounds too loud, even if you’ve hit softly. It’s the fast displacement before that makes it too loud. What I’ve found is that when I keep the same angle with my wrist (~0°) for tom and snare this works much better.
Thanks for your comment man. I'll have to give that a try with my wrist angle next time and see how it goes.
Hello, nearly for 10 years. Did you encounter some problems like latency, drums drifting etc ? Thank you
@@Vetea19 Hello, yes, 9 years (I'm wondering this myself) and I've never regretted it. First, the noticeable latency is equal to zero. You can play really fast things. If you don't know him, search for “YoYo Funk by Gergő Borlai on Aerodrums” (the 3:57 minute version) Check out his striking technique and how he holds his sticks. I've tried different techniques over the last 9 years, but I think his one is the most efficient and joint-friendly technique for air drumming and gives even some sort of rebound. Then you talked about drifting, so I assume you've encountered drifting somewhere. Maybe in a cardboard VR game, or you may have heard about drift problems with simultaneous devices like Pocketdrum, Hyperdrum or Freedrum. These devices, like smartphones, are all based on MEMS sensors (gyroscope/accelerometer chips) and ALL suffer (more or less) from drift. Not so with Aerodrums. Aerodrums uses optical motion capture with passive markers, a technique typically used for special effects in film productions. There is no drifting at all. If you don't touch the camera and don't move your seat, you can play for hours (I just finished a nearly two and a half hour gig) without recalibrating anything. By the way, Aerodrums2 will be released soon. Since I was one of the first backers of their Kickstarter project last year, I'm expecting mine in August. It will be an autonomous device (operating without a computer) based on infrared technology and much less sensitive to ambient light.
@@aerodrummeur Tnank you very much for all these helpful informations
@@aerodrummeur Thank you for all these informations. Yes I saw the version 2 which is interesting. I intend to purchase the 1st version to learn drums in every place without making any noise. The intersting thing you wrote is about no drifting at all. Thank you
