it comes from playing without a band for a longtime while you grow up, you obviously have to play the baseline and it becomes weird to only play mid fill or grace notes
In my church I am the keyboardist my other 2 cousins are the drummer and bassist and we all connect with just our eyes or a shake head by any one of us and we all know what we want to do
Truer words have never been spoken, we have no drummer it is only after recording I realize I was racing to the end of the song when we were just starting
"The keyboardist who wants all the shine on the slow songs" We were playing a Christmas medley that had "Have yourself a merry little Christmas" The lead sax is playing the melody, and in that little space between the first and second line (between "Merry little Christmas" and "Let your heart be light") I just hear the pianist going ham on the melody. I look over and he has the look, you know the one, the *it's my time to shine!* look. Oh boy, here we go again.
I’ve played with loads of players and once you come up against a Jazz pianist none of this applies. The Jazz pianist will just do their thing, your role is to be quick enough to pick up on it or go home.
😂😂😂....as a former choir director I would like to say how aggravating that is when they do this....that's when I'd always BREAK THE MUSIC!!..in the middle of the song!!...😂😂😂...DOGGONE IT!!
😂 This was so good. One time, I was playing drums for a conference with a totally different band that played old school gospel. The keyboard player was also the lead singer, so I’m over in my drum corner, spiced it up with a few accents and rolls, she gets super close to the mic in the middle of singing the song and tells me “KEEP A STRAIGHT BEAT!” 🤣
Pamshairexpo if u know music u can jus hear it and wen u open ur eyes u will see people who know music looking at the choir director, singers, drummer, keyboardist etc..
“im giving it to you clear as day, but you gotta watch me! I can’t give it any clearer!” By the end of this year I’ll have had 4 high school choral teachers and I promise you they will all have said those words
Soon as I see that keyboardist, I'm touchin my knees to the pulpit and sayin a prayer , because LORD KNOWS, if he starts that BS, we scrappin in the parkin lot after church, I don't care! 🤣🤣
@@InceyWincey I tend to agree, but when I'm playing with inexperienced musicians who keep dragging the tempo into the toilet, I find a click track to have some value.
I played with a guitar player who set the tempo for each song in practice and I made sure I wrote them down. Started each song on the practiced tempo, he'd stop playing, come over and change it. Sometimes faster, sometimes slower, several times every time we played together..
As a former choir director I’ve witness every one of these & the accuracy is SPOT ON... now add a CD to these same scenarios & my gawd a mess will be made
I have a young great drummer I play with and we have been playing together at a Church for 9 years .. I think he was 7 years when we started playing together .. He knows my bird and move and I know his move .. There is big bond between us when we play and when he is not there , you can feel the difference ..
Here's proof that when the keyboardist and drummer can't get it together, it throws off the entire praise and worship! Good thing I have joy bells ringing in my soul! #KeepMyOwnRhythm
I had to subscribe today! Lol. Brother, you can PUH-LAY that keyboard!! This was really funny. May the Lord bless you richly! All love from California!
Only real musicians and ministers of music will fully understand this 🤣🤣🤣 many years and many churches we see plenty of these at one place at multiple events 🤣🤣🤣. This was too funny
Sonner Solano lol me too🤣🤣 I’ve been in it since a kids i started being a musician for churches over 10 years ago lol and I’ve seen so much 🤣🤣🤣 nothing like holy laughter 💯🤣🤣
It’s crazy cause I’ve played with almost every type you mentioned considering I play both drums and piano. So it’s very relatable on both ends 😂‼️ but my biggest pet peeves are the ones who are behind and slow the music down🤦🏾♂️
I don't miss church but I miss playing with my bro 3 times a week (me on drums and him on keys) I'm proud to say we were not once trying to out shine the other, it was just fun playing together and making the songs sound pleasant to the surprisingly demanding audience 😅😅 and ourselves ofc! English is not my native language so yeah
There’s no better sound then when a drummer and keyboard/organ player are completely locked in
You can't forget about the Bass...LOL... Coming from a Bass Player...Hahahahaha
Wavy DC *Rest Easy Kobe 🐍 and Princess GiGi* 💯
BOSS lol bass players always wanna he included in things 😂😂
Man and throw the bass in there my God
Was wondering which God he's serving not mentioning that bass and I play keys 😆
Meanwhile the bassist is depressed because the keyboardist won't stop playing the low notes.
YES.... THIS... THIS....THIIISS
This one really hit home 😔
Amen to that
That's when you go up the neck and slap and pop the funk ..... Either they "get it" and give you space or you keep overplaying lol

I remeber those days
I dont find the comment is funny. It’s a funny video bruh

Hope you're in therapy. As a vocalist, I've witnessed enough of those moments to know that you may need it! 😅

Hahahahahahahaha preach
Right.... I believe all Bassist do that.... I know I do!!! Lol
@wind oooh my before event or half time
You forgot the drummer that ends every song with a solo 😂😂

That song is "Everybody Clap Your Hands" by Joshua's Troop. It's a fun song.

"The keyboardist who wants all the shine on the slow songs"
We were playing a Christmas medley that had "Have yourself a merry little Christmas"
The lead sax is playing the melody, and in that little space between the first and second line (between "Merry little Christmas" and "Let your heart be light") I just hear the pianist going ham on the melody. I look over and he has the look, you know the one, the *it's my time to shine!* look.

This is the truth
I’m guilty of that. Sarrey 😬 It’s my time to shine lol
I would have paid money to see that 😂😂😂😂😂
😂
Lol
0:53 this tune was so groovy my guy.
Like the piano felt like a jazzy lofi type beat, it was soooo nice.
As an experienced amateur drummer, I always stare at the pianist to keep the flavor.
That's right!!!!! U need to move to New Orleans and be my drummer lol
williejames huff means he has a lot of experience playing but doesn’t do it professionally you cretin, no contradiction there.
I’ve played with loads of players and once you come up against a Jazz pianist none of this applies. The Jazz pianist will just do their thing, your role is to be quick enough to pick up on it or go home.
@williejames huff Him saying that he's experienced means he has a lot of experience. Holy shit you're stupid.
williejames huff holy shit u ok?
Very accurate! 😂 Shout out to all of the church musicians out there. Keep the faith.

Personally, I wouldn't take that. Immediate chops.
So Is that what all the hand🖐🏽 waving and pointing👈🏽 be about? Lol😂🤣😂
Pamshairexpo i wondered the same, but at the same time I would be paying attention, low key.😂✨💚
@@DMKC i be paying attention but I'm REALLY gonna be paying attention now! Well, that's when they let us go back to church⛪lol 😂

A good drummer knows when to be loud, and when to be soft
Drives me nuts when drummers only know to play fff
Every type of musician should know that.
I agree
Seeing a drummer have absolute finesse over the dynamics of his instrument is way more enjoyable anyway. Dynamics tell a story sort of
ffs yeah
The “drummer always behind” impressive for a joke, bet that took an extra take! Great content man! Good stuff!
Drums are synthetic. He just had to play the part and then program the drums afterwards.
And all the drummers cried out, simultaneously, "JUST PLAY!"
😂😂😂😂😂
The "Center of Attention"
😂😂😂
I'm GUILTY, that's me right there
1:20 "The dreaded eyes 👀!" That almost killed me!!! 😂😂😂😂
Kevon, I praise God for you! You make me laugh EVERYTIME! Thank You. Just lost my Mom this week and I needed this! God Bless You!
This was TOO accurate on so many levels.
Soon as I see that keyboardist, I'm touchin my knees to the pulpit and sayin a prayer , because LORD KNOWS, if he starts that BS, we scrappin in the parkin lot after church, I don't care! 🤣🤣
See??? This right here is why the elder called y’all ‘tieves’. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That's true they are "tieves" Satan's cousin😅🤣
Yes!😂😭😌
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Like you man lol.. you too good🤣
The drummer delays too much🤣
0:51 actually kinda sick
Fr
I'd love a to hear a whole song of this one
The 'the drummer that never does the accents' part is super beautiful. Make a full song/tune of it.
Indeed it sounds so soothing
Yes plz
Sounded like something Dave grusin would do
Check out the live version of “Mercy” by Dave Matthews band. The jam at the end has the same sort of feel.
Love clean family/ shareable comedy keep it up brother💕💞
LMBO!!!! “You gotta watch me! I can’t make it any clearer!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's so crazy how you so accurate🤣
WL:
“We’re playing too slow.”
Me:
“We’re playing with a click...it’s the original tempo...😒”
That's why I always try to say, "That's the original tempo. Would you like to take it faster?"
And then they can get yelled at when it's unsingable.
Never play with a click. Music played to a click track is soulless.
@@InceyWincey I tend to agree, but when I'm playing with inexperienced musicians who keep dragging the tempo into the toilet, I find a click track to have some value.
OH MY HEAVENS THIIIIIISSSSSS!! Put the earpiece back in yo EAR!!!!!
I played with a guitar player who set the tempo for each song in practice and I made sure I wrote them down. Started each song on the practiced tempo, he'd stop playing, come over and change it. Sometimes faster, sometimes slower, several times every time we played together..
As of fellow musician(drum and keyboard) I can relate. But when that two piece flowing and the spirit movin 🙌🔥💯
It's nothing like it when the two are in sync! 🥁🎹
@@robertbush5367 absolutely!
Hilarious!! What you doing? You gotta watch me. Lol. You are blessed beyond measures bro! Keep it coming!!
As a Pianist of over 40 years I can honestly say that a drummer who sounds like a track is the most Dreadful thing ever
Jaques Teddy Ruxpin what do you mean by track? Too robotic?
@@isaacheng1046 no cymbals, no toms no double bass Beats, no substance in their playing, just like a click track
Jaques Teddy Ruxpin ah ok gotchu
@@isaacheng1046 I expect that out of drummers who are just beginning, but it annoys the hell out of me when veteran drummers do it
As a seasoned drummer I agree, but also agree that some drummers these days be doing too much shedding (overplay) during the song.
2:38 i cant stop listening please do the Full One!!!!!
1:10 in a different video this would be called "The Keyboard Player Rushing"
And in most cases in real life. 😅
@2:47
Or, you know... later in the same video
Absolutely true on everyone of them. 😂😂😂
As a former choir director I’ve witness every one of these & the accuracy is SPOT ON... now add a CD to these same scenarios & my gawd a mess will be made
Stumbled across this, checked it out because I love drums...hilarious! When he's giving signals by throwing out his elbow....LMAO!!!
The drummer that's always behind 😂😂😂😂😂😂 so true
Omg man I am cracking up at that one
1:50 👥🗣”ohhhhh”.. from way in the back haha “my goodness”
But how to not be tempted to do that at that part though 🤔
