I want to thank you for posting such an excellent tutorial for beginning drummers. I'm 68 and retired and am hoping to gear up to meet the need for a drummer in our worship group. I absolutely love that your focus is on praise and glorifying God rather than merely performance. In fact, every aspect of our daily lives ought to be approached with this in the front of our minds, knowing that our failures remind us of our need of a Savior!
I love my heavenly father. And I love serving him with the talent that he gave me. But what I do not like. Is the industry controlling the structure of music for their own narrative. Which is money. Every song have the same format. It stifles the spirit of God and each individual player that God has gifted. It's like listen to rap. Every song is the same. Each and every one of us have a different relationship with God and a different way of expressing our love for our heavenly Father. I feel that we would be able to touch even more of those who needs a relationship with our heavenly father if we were able to express or individual feelings for a heavenly Father.
I totally get that Biggest thing is go slow enough your brain can comprehend where you’re up to and what you have to hit when… It’s a process that can be quite frustrating but definitely pays off!
Brother your style is clean, straight forward and good! No messiness at all! I would encourage you to consider (finances permitting) to retire that ride, and get a thicker/smaller ride that complements your style. That one “talks” (or sizzles) too much with resonance beyond the strike, requiring too much control for the desired outcome.
have you removed some chapters from this video? i was learning this song and then i come back onto this video and suddenly the video is shorter and chapters have been removed
Wow you sure have helped & inspired many old & new drummers on here. Congrats & God bless you for taking the time to put this together. Just wondering, are you from down under ?

This is so very helpful. I can’t thank you enough. I’ve played this song before in front of my church’s congregation, but I played it super simplistically. I’m a beginner drummer, but I really want to up my game. This is the exact tutorial breakdown I needed to play this song again this Sunday. I’ll be watching this video MANY times over. As far as other songs: Know You Will by Hillsong!
Thanks for this tutorial video. This will help us learn. I'm a new drummer for our worship team in our church. Hope you can make more worship songs video. God Bless..
Really great video, thanks! Have you any tips for 'separating' hands from feet? Struggling to keep the 4 on the floor going, while doing the faster right hand stuff on floor tom, without my foot wanting to 'match' my hand, (which feels a bit off time) . Sorry I'm not knowledgeable regards the terminology to describe what I mean fully 😬 Thaks man
thanks bro! My biggest and most boring tip is go super slow... If you go slow enough, your brain can actually tell your limbs what to do... Let's take the 3rd groove section of the bridge with the 4 on the floor kick... This is can be done with massive gaps in-between while learning. Kick and Floor Tom... Floor Tom... Kick... Floor Tom... Kick... Kick with Snare.... I know you can do each of those hits. It gets harder when you go fast. So don't go fast until the pattern is super easy. I hope that helps. - Sam
@@InSyncDrums Thanks bro. That may sound boring but yes, it is great advice, thank you :) My problem is that I'm somewhat proficient at easier songs, so the team think I can do any song on a weeks notice, but they don't realise how complicated it might be to imitate a certain drum beat/ sound, ha, so it's stressful for me. Also, not having a kit of my own is not a help. But cushions and sticks do the trick mostly 😅 Anyway, appreciate the time you took to write back and God bless you in your ministry and your own church context ✊🏻🙂
Fantastic tutorial! I'm not a beginner by any means, but I appreciated the breakdown and the time you put into explaining this so that drummers of all skill levels can easily know what to do. Two thumbs WAY UP :)
Dude you saved my life!!! I’m playing for my youth group tomorrow and I only had one day to learn the songs. These tutorials you made are amazing and I love that you go through and break down every part. Thank you so much and keep doing what your doing!!! Oh and do you think you could do “there’s nothing that our God can’t do” by Passion?
This is super helpful as our worship team leader decided last night at practice she wanted to do this song. I love the song and have since it came out but she's expecting serious drums outa me and I'm like, uh oh. 😆 I'm going to now do the tutorial step by step so when we get together again to start practicing it, I'll just slam into it and she will be like, huh??? 🤣 I'll let you know how it goes.
Thank you for this man, really appreciate not just your detailed breakdown of the song but even before you start, I sense you're not just a drummer but you're really a worshiper. Keep on doing what you're doing bro. Appreciate it so much. Still aspiring to be a good church drummer here🥺🙏 Godbless you.
I just finished notating Timothy on the drum tutorial. Great drummer. What you are doing is extremely similar. I really like your variation of the tom part in the intro/instrumental. You sound great! Great breakdown. Really like your snare sound!!!
Timothy is serving worship drummers so well with his walkthroughs and products etc. Awesome job Jonathan on the notation! Yes, I'm here to serve the drummers that need it simplified a little bit :) Thanks for the comment on the snare too! Experimenting with the not so normal worship snare tuning ;)
8:53 man this break down is so helpful. The way I’ve been playing it just didn’t sound right. This make a huge difference. Took me a little while to get that beat down consistently, but got it! Thanks again
Old rusty drummer, God taught, all to His glory. Made my first drum at 14 with a suitcase as a base and buckets as my Tom's, mom and dad bought me a snare and a cymbal kit from Sears, plastic toy foot pedal...lol, God taught me everything how to play by watching other drummers. Played at church, big and little gigs. I'm 61 now, no drums just playing on my knees and feet against the floor. My mom used to laugh as I wouldn't stop pounding at the dinner table. PTL brother keep going, love the worship! Thank you
Sam-just signed up today. Man, where have you been in my life of drumming. This channel and your fantastic teaching style is exactly what I was looking for. Printed this sheet music off and can't wait to get home tonight and dive in. Looking to audition at my church in 2023 and this will help tremendously. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!!
Thank you for your time and effort making these videos. My 7yo son is newly learning drum and he hopes to use this instrument to worship God one day. Amen!
This is awesome! I am a newbie drummer and am playing this Sunday at my church for the 4th time. This breakdown is a great way to learn, practice, and play along with!!! Thank you for taking the time to be so thorough in your tutorial!!! God Bless!
Excellent job, I practiced to this for about 5 hours and played with our youth group. I'm not that experienced and I had never touched toms yet but with your video we made it happen. Thank you for taking the time to post it. I've watched it A Lot! God is Good!
Thank you so much for breaking this down so well! As a suuuuper rusty jazz drummer being recruited by the worship pastor to fill in, all of your videos have been so helpful at getting back in the swing of things and ready for Sunday mornings!
Thank you for you time and talents. This is such a blessing. The break down was clear and slow enough to go back and actually learn how to play it. It would be nice to see the kick parts. Maybe little video in the corner of screen. May the Lord bless you for all you ate doing. Drumming for Jesus !!!
I started playing drums a few months ago and this is an absolute brilliant tutorial. Seriously, thank you! You explained well and demonstrated well! Thank you!
I just found you while researching Battle Belongs. I'm a new drummer (age 66 and was recruited by my church two months ago) and will be trying to tackle this song. You have it broken down well so all I need to do is get my feet and hands to cooperate and remember what I learn!! Thank you for all your hard work putting this together.
Dude, this was amazing. I’m playing this song in two weeks and I was really struggling to figure out what to play for that intro - it just felt like a lot in the track but you made it sound so clear and precise. Thank you - seriously
6:46
thank you!
simple and fundamental. That foundation
That helps so much
Thank you for the tutorial. You explained every bit of it.

You rock Bless your heart!
Amen❤
I play this song just like you. Clean, heavy beatie, good spacing. Less is more. Nice!
Спасибо!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Hope you like it!
All starts somewhere, love the grind. Earned my sub
it sure does my friend! Thanks for the comment and sub!
What is the counting in verse 2.1?
1 & 2 & 3e&a 4 &
Thanks for teaching,it's really help alot,God bless you always brother
You are very welcome!!
Very nice, clean and simple. Thanks
You are welcome! Glad you like it.
This tutorial was really good.. its helped me a lot.. thanks
Glad it helped! Thanks for your comment!
So how you played it in the beginning is that how the song goes or did you make it easier ?
It's the core pattern of the song without the variations for that part.
I play by ear, so all the counting doesn't always happen. I haven't played for 16yrs and just recently took it back up at church. An advice?
I totally get that
Biggest thing is go slow enough your brain can comprehend where you’re up to and what you have to hit when…
It’s a process that can be quite frustrating but definitely pays off!
This is awesome tutorial bro! Im a beginner and I'm learning! Keep sharing bro.. thanks a lot! More power to your channel.
Thanks mate!!! I appreciate your comment :D
Brother your style is clean, straight forward and good! No messiness at all!
I would encourage you to consider (finances permitting) to retire that ride, and get a thicker/smaller ride that complements your style. That one “talks” (or sizzles) too much with resonance beyond the strike, requiring too much control for the desired outcome.
Thanks for your comment brother!
have you removed some chapters from this video? i was learning this song and then i come back onto this video and suddenly the video is shorter and chapters have been removed
I did sorry.
I'm working on putting up a more comprehensive resource package for this song over on my Patreon page.
Wow you sure have helped & inspired many old & new drummers on here. Congrats & God bless you for taking the time to put this together. Just wondering, are you from down under ?
Thank you Kelly! I'm glad it's been helpful for so many :D
I sure am!

I know you can do each of those hits. It gets harder when you go fast. So don't go fast until the pattern is super easy.
I hope that helps.

Legit the best drum cover on UA-cam. Probably the only 2 tom cover of this song.
Thanks Mate :)
