My 19 yr old son is heading the Abilene Christian University in Texas this fall to become a worship leader, he is the youth lead guitarist at Oakhills Church in San Antonio Texas where Max Lucado pastor's (Hermie and Wormie creater and Christian Author). We saw Bethel whenbthey came to town a few months ago and when yhey played this song it was awesome because I had never heard it before but it was so powerful. I come from a skate punk back ground so i really like fast upbeat praise and worship like this
What I admired most was not your technicality or the sound of your drums(they were both very amazing) but I loved most that you drum for the lord and honor him with your talents and not for show! Keep drumming for GOD!
My heart was pounding at the beat of your drumming. You play with passion! I'm auditioning for the bass position at bethel and I really hope you'll make it as drummer. Be Blessed brother!
The way this dude play is like the way I play! I play because it's my passion to do so, many don't do, i feel full of joy whenever I play drums and you can tell he does too👀
I'm planning on trying out for next year at bethel for BSSM 1 any pointers for what they are looking for? Also how any drummers do they take for the BSSM class? Thanks!
Tyler Bray Hey bro! Thats awesome! Yeah, so for the just play as naturally and confidently as you can, so pick a song that you are quite comfortable with. But once you get past the video audition just really stick the kind of Bethel feel and dynamics the drummers have! You'll notice what i mean i'm sure. And keep to the integrity of the drum parts recorded. Don't deviate unless it really contributes to whats happening in the room and with the Spirit is doing. And just remember to worship and have fun!
I thought you did awesome, But in some spots U rushed just a little, I've played this song as well and did the same thing but you did awesome, I lived the fills and lived the song. Great job bro
LOL I love how everyone is a critic like they know music and or the drums. Opinions are like assholes... but some just smell worse. Keep up the good work man!
i don't think there's another person more deserving than this guy.
Wow, what energy! Made this 62 year old man giggle! Loved it!

watching this at 2019 :)
Sounds great! The kick drum sounds slightly off beat at 5:46-5:47 though. Overall, sounds amazing!
What equipment do you use to mic your drums? Thanks. Great cover btw! BSSM is a dream of mine...
Did you make it? I am also looking to go to BSSM when I graduate. I watch this video so I can play along with my guitar.
+Joshua Etchison Thats awesome man! I did make it, yes! Good for you dude!
How many sticks does he go through
I really want a kit like yours. What kind is it?
Its called Dark Horse! Its a custom brand. I may be selling it in the next few months. I'll keep you in the loop. Thanks for watching, man!

Niceeeee
what camera do you use?
What program is it?
Its called Bethel Supernatural School Of Ministry!
like!
man, you used a drumless song, or you just played over the original with your drums in a higher volume than the song???
he played over the original. it's clear on the second verse, you could hear the high hat from the record when erik was on the floor tom
A bit too fast but good job. At times it sounds as if you're speeding up the song.
dude, you are you rad! incredible drumming!
Check out my audition vid bro!
Im sorry. This music is very boring.
what sorta camera do you use?
