That tom beat is so prominent because that literally mirrors what is apparently the only pattern acoustic guitar players can strum... It's in EVERY DANG SONG...
Jang janga-jang janga jang jugga…🙄
@@RobBeatdownBrown you understand me 🥲
I once wore a shirt (while leading worship) that simply had
I-V-vi-IV
On it. The powers that be were not happy 😁
Yup. I am trying to change this, one guitar student at a time...
@@RobBeatdownBrown 3 + 3 + 2.....
@@LetsTalkAboutReaper They actually knew what that meant!? Or was the problem that it was a T-Shirt and not a button up shirt? Also, isn't it great when a percussionist busts out the theory?? I tried to explain, in a presentation to church musicians, how triads are constructed from a scale and they all nearly bounced on me. =-/
The way you played those tom grooves with a straight face had me laughing out loud 🤣😂👌🏾
that's not actually his straight face... that was his "I just died on the inside" face

@@PinwheelHomes so true!! I was cracking up!!
🤣
Me too!! Love Rob, his facial expressions, and his common sense way of teaching.
I almost fell out of my chair laughing and choking 'yep, thats the one.' Thanks for this, been in worship a long time, nice to change things up sometimes
Does someone have a video on how to do that pattern? I need a foundation before i venture out
Bro I’m at work and I literally almost fell out of my chair to😂😂😂😂

Yeah I don’t play the drums myself but I literally knew exactly what he was going to play 😂
As the Bass player on worship teams for about 30 years ... YES! Could always feel the pain in my brother's heart playing that pattern... 😔😖
I played that same tom groove for at least 3 songs at last nights Easter rehearsal. Lord help us. I felt this.
Funny. I've played in my Church's music ministry exactly twice, and can already confidently say I knew exactly what tom groove was coming.
Hahaha...I wasn't lyin' 😄
@@RobBeatdownBrown hey I need some help can you like call me
It's the Larry Mullen wires-off snare pattern from U2's Where The Streets Have No Name. That's where it came from.
Your expression during THAT groove had me rolling 😂
Your face during the first example was PRICELESS!!! I spit my water out a bit!!! Contemporary church music is the worst. Over it!! Lol
I'm a guitar player. I grew up playing classic rock. Filler lines, blues notes, augmented and diminished chords...even a rhythm player was "busy" on stage. Started playing in church in college and felt like I took a step back musically. Tried adding lines and blues feel but only so much you can do with 1564.
You nailed it bro! Most praise and worship bands really took on that U2 vibe to my ears!
Those side eye looks in the camera said about a million words.😂😂
I knew it before you even played it.. same groove just change the BPM around lol. Been playing worship drums for 12+ years now and I feel like all I do is work on changing stale parts to tasteful stuff that has some dynamic and variation but also fits the song well.
Pretty accurate job description of what we end up doing after being in it for so long.
Pray for better Christian music
Love how you help get us get out of a rut, Robb.
Thanks again, brother in Christ.
The first one, I call it, "The Israel Groove!" The second one, has a bassline that accompanies it, that is ran into the ground. "Let Praises Rise" by Todd Galbreth and Anaysha Figueroa is the epitome of the second groove.
I call it the Bethel Jungle Beats ...
The other move I hear is what I call “the Muppet build”. It’s that long drawn out build up to the chorus they do by pounding on the floor Tom. It drives me crazy. Hillsong does it ad nauseam.
Haha, yea. Looks like Hillsong been doin' a LOT of stuff these days 🤭
@@RobBeatdownBrown It would be cool if you could do a video on build alternatives!!
Very true ! That eighth note build simultaneous snare/floor - I refuse to play anymore ! It’s so grade 1
Ian, lad, you nailed it. my teeth grate when I get another new Hillsong chart, bam, bam, bam. Aaaahhhhh
They do ad nauseam, drives me NUTS
Finally someone that is saying what I have been saying, I told my worship leader that I was tired of playing floor tom & crash cymbals on every contemporary song. I'll run sound! Lol
I'm with you Jeff, It all sounds washed out, floor toms on downbeat, cymbals, BORING, especially if you love blues and funk as I do
I hate playing that style too. Sounds like hipster music.
I mix sound at church and the newer music is so repetitious and the lyrics are so shallow and self serving! You are so right! Your kit sounds amazing too!
I love this,I'm a Christian and I can't listen to this kind of music, it seems so plain and almost depressing. I'm a drummer and I've never heard anyone identify this, I thought it was just me. thanks.
Or worse. Chris Tomlin sounds like e wants to make out, the way he's crooning to Jesus. [gag]
Not just you my friend, alot of us drummers feel same
I love Jesus/God - but have really never been moved to listen to any praise music outside of a church setting. I play guitar , and love secular guitar oriented music , Hard Rock/Metal as a matter of fact. Major chords and keys tend to get boring and very "VANILLA" sounding. It's the minor keys that evoke feeling , emotion with a major thrown in for the chorus or pre-chorus etc.. a perfect example is Via Dolorosa
SAME
In the same boat. I play at church but I can't listen to CCM outside
I literally played the first groove at church this morning. I feel personally attacked
🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Its ok. All American rejects got away with it too with the song "move along"
I'm not a church drummer at all and still knew the fills from my best mates wedding 😂😂😂
Knew it immediately without even having to hear it. Been doing it for about 10 years lol
I'll say it again: you are doing The Lord's work. As hip drummers, it's our spiritual duty to make that beat cool. No complaints, either; "To whom much is given much is required"!
Like you, I've come to enjoy finding new ways to change up that groove and do my own thing. Sometimes, I like adding up-chicks on the hat, as opposed to downbeats. It adds a little funk to things.
I just thought that beat was the combination to let you out of the plastic drummer box. Seriously, though, I always liked the variation of "the beat" used by All Together Separate in their song Paradigm.
I played 3 worship songs this Sunday, 2 similar slow tempos and the upbeat song, had that same beat with a snare integrated just at double time. Lol
I have been playing drums in ministry for a really long time and this tom "groove" drives me crazy! Now I hear it more and more with "random" rim clicks interspersed...makes me even more crazy! Why can't these songs just groove??? I don't understand the ethereal spacey type of vibe that they're trying to create on the toms... Anyway thank you for these variations to help give some variety to it! Love your Channel keep it up man!
1:04 is where I spit my coffee
Oh my gosh, the look on your face! HILARIOUS! Thanks for the laugh this afternoon. You’re awesome! 😂
Started playing worship drums some 20ish years ago, and I'm not sure I've ever once played that pattern. Similar things, sure. But not that. Maybe there's a particular subset of songs that this particular accent pattern is from, or maybe it's an artifact of trying to translate parts intended for a 6-piece kit onto a 5-piece, but most songs I played with tom-heavy parts did not at all call for that many 12" tom accents. I can definitely see why people would find it annoying though.
I think he was referring to the style of drums. So many songs copy this type of beat. It's so generic and predictable.
YES!!! Your facial expression says it all. oh man that made me laugh so hard!!!! God bless you for making my day.
And yes as a drummer that does not play currently I am so beat down with this pattern.
His face on that beat was perfect! I felt that in my soul….. praise be lol
I've never played Christian music but I know one thing, those cymbals are heavenly.
Sure are. Paiste all DAY 🏆
@@RobBeatdownBrown which cymbal is that on your far right?
@@RobBeatdownBrown John Bonham's favorite.
Those are Paiste signatures. I've had mine for over 30 years! they sound amazing!!
@@ilikepizza137 that is a paiste 22” swish. Signature series I believe. That or signature dark energy
I'm quite sure you've been told this already today, but I think one more time is in order.
Rob, "You Are Awesome". I could listen to you talk all day. Glad we have you in our lifetimes not just for drumming, but also for your personality... equally .
I'm an MD/Keyboard player at a church and I knew what beat you were talking about. It is as bad as the chord progression we have to play over and over. You mentioned it. 1,4,5,6,1 (or some variation) over and over.
Right on! I blame Shane and Shane for trying to dumb down EVERYTHING!!! Thanks for not conforming, but transforming that which needs help!
Man! I’m primarily a guitar player (I pick up sticks every once in awhile but I’m no drummer, ya know?), never played worship music, but I watched this whole lesson because your teaching style is totally awesome! Keep up the great work! 😎💯
This should be standard watching for all worship teams.
One congregation I attend has top engineers, top sound gear and instruments, top musicians and top vocalists; but when that “standard church drum fill” happens ALL the Time, it takes from the song. Musicians understand.
You are one smooth cat who gets it.
Also, the faces you made at the “standard fills” woke up my wife from her nap with my howls of laughter.
It’s your fault I’m having Ramen noodles tonight.
I knew the groove before he played it. It amazes me how much contemporary worship music can box itself in when it’s supposed to be such a transcendental experience
I laughed out when I read that title, and that intro made me ROLL. I know exactly what pattern it is.
Rob, I totally feel you on this one! I stopped playing in Church due to the "lameness" of what is required by drummers these days. Most worship teams should just use a drum machine, but then, all the other musicians would have to actually count and be on-top of their playing and not rely on the drummer to help them pickup where the fell-off the beat or something! Great lesson!
I'm not sure why many churches don't just sing along with the recording. Why hire musicians to mimic the recording?
Then again, at the risk of being a RAY-cyst, our brethren in the AME style churches play full-on drum solos during "worship."
@@Charles.Wright Because musicians bring in donations and people. Sucks, but true. Most Christians are superficial and will move to a church with live music.
@@leswhite3524🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
@@Charles.Wright hire? Wow lol I didn’t know you had to get paid to worship God.
Almost every Sunday I stuck playing one of these! I need some funk in my life once in awhile!!!! Great work!!!
I'm with you, I'm glad our band funks songs up so there is a pocket, that bam bam drum like is sooo boring
All genres of music have key components across various verse's, chorus's, bridge's, etc. that are "well used" as go to's for various feel, dynamics, and catalyst for supporting vibe of the tune - Has been that way for literally centuries... \m/
Glad you broke this down for other drummers out there. I have personally been playing variations of the grooves you are recommending in the end for a few years now. Got so tired of those other ones. I have ADHD and have a hard time playing the same old thing over and over 😂 my brain just forced me into getting creative
Great stuff, I only 14 months into CCM worship music, so I still milking the overused tom groove and still not bored with it, but I sure will be adding more to the catalogue . Thanks for the examples.
I always referred to that tom groove as the opener to "move along" by The All American Rejects and I would get blank stares from the rest of the worship team.
Lmbo! Rob your face playing this groove is priceless!! And I played that groove Last Sunday!!
Bruh. This right here. That opening bit so true.
Dude this too true, I play Sunday mornings and EVERY Sunday I play 4 on F w/toms. Thanks for this.
I'm a rookie worship drummer and I'm gonna start working on these grooves... Thanks for the lesson!
I’ve been playing 50 years. In church for 25. You nailed it sir
Spot on!! hahaha . I was running the easter set and caught myself playing that exact pattern. Great job as always Rob!!
Great video. I have to play this boring beat this sunday for Easter service. Might switch it up a bit. Thanks!
Do it. Save yourself! 😁
Careful the MD doesn’t yell at you!! Lol!!
@@TheSMPStudios 🤣
@@RobBeatdownBrown Will do 😎
As a 17 year CCM guitarist.. this is so accurate. GREAT video!
AAAND that's why I stopped volunteering to play drums at church for almost 8 years! Back in the 80's we had a lot more varied rhythmic beats and grooves. Not so much nowadays.
Now a days church music sounds like hipster music.
"Cheers Rob"" I need this "Groove" "The Bo Diddley Groove "Haunts me!, Every time I pick my sticks up""." Good Health, From UK.
Haha. The 'Bo Diddley' 😆 That's pretty accurate, man
Nick, you nailed it, refreshing to hear I'm not the only church drummer whom this beat drives them nuts
1:34 🤣. Pattern got this man really needing to pray to God for help haha! With that look that says “If I have to play this one more time…”
Thanks Rob..My students,and myself love your drum lessons!
0:59 😂😂😂 the please make it stop look.
Your Beat Down Brown Stare at 1:05 and 1:28 is a new Classic. I love this haaaaaa haaaaa!
Hahaha yep, so true. One guy has described this as by using the Toms and Bass in those constant sequence to eliminate the harsh tones or notes and they are much warmer for the audience to hear in the church.
That's is, indeed, the one!! 🤣 I'm not THE drummer at church, but I am A drummer church. I always play with different orchestrations and voicings in my head when this beat drops. Great video as always.
Thank for video Rob,regards from Bulgaria 🇧🇬
Rob,that was very cool the beat and accenting it was choose your playing always blows me away,in the pocket and so clean. Thank you for your lessons as always 🙏 😊 so glad to see you at Drumeo with the rest of the gang.
Dude, nice Yamaha kit and big hats. Also, I can’t agree with you more. I, too, have been in worship ministry (drums, bass and guitar) for over 20 years now. PLEASE, can we bring more of this creativity into church worship
Creativity? Try The Holy Spirit, He is faithful.❤
Preach it brother. Last time I served I played that tom groove on 3 of the 4 tunes we played that service.
Brilliant, love your breakdown of the music. Thank you for sharing.
XD
Your expression at 1:03 kills me!
The side-eye was priceless! I feel that!
Great video, Rob - just in time for Easter! Saving the world one beat at a time :-)
I didn’t enjoy it either when starting but learned that toms are primarily used since they have a less harsh backbeat that is suitable for house of worship mix. Doesn’t mean we can’t change up the groove. The first one gave me “tejano vibe” which should liven it up
So true Rob! Thank you for the alternatives especially with Easter this weekend. To avoid impaling myself, I like to use different stickings and flams (split between different drums) on the toms too. Those cymbals though.......so shimmery! Been playing Zildjians for years but every time I hear you play, it might be time to get a set.
Agreed - those cymbals sounded awesome - I’ve switched from Zildjian K customs used for decades over to thin 20” & 21” Heartbeat classic and studio - they are a joy to play and hear - mix really well.
You have a quality that simply shines.
I just get the overall feeling that your a loving and caring guy. I also love your videos. Keep it coming brotha
I knew the groove just from the title of the video 😂 Your facial expressions while you were playing it really sent me
YAS LORT!! Thanks Rob. This needed to be done.
Feel is EVERYTHING for these for sure! Thanks Rob you’re the man!
Fantastic video! Please do more stuff like this. I’ve played in church for over 30 years and try to teach my own students to do whatever they can to “raise the bar” of musicality while still being tasteful and supporting the song, just like what you talk about. Much appreciate what you do.
Your face while playing the tom pattern... looool, I am dead. Nice video. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this. Very informative, for sure. Cheers, Rob and God Bless! ✌️🙏🥁🎵🎶🎵🎶
So true! Great vid! Love your kit.
The look on your face was priceless!! Love watching your videos.
The thing with that beat - and it's equivalents - is that one is waiting for the song to really start. Till those toms stop, and the snare starts, and it really starts to roll. I like your variations a lot though. I'm a guitarist by the way so why care about what I think anyway :)
I thought about this video today in church when the other drummer was on stage playing this pattern, and I started to chuckle. Love the video, man, happy Easter, He is risen!
Lol! Last Sunday……. I actually play similar grooves that you’ve described and showed us. Not exactly as you’ve played but close, putting myself into it. Thanks for showing us this. Worship music has changed since I started in 1991. Lol😂
Yes!!! you hit the nail directly on the head. And on that 'note" why is it that the guitar has to be a Gretsch playing ripped off U2 (the Edge) guitar lines, dotted 8th delay etc. Loose the capo and learn how to play in all 12 keys it's actually more creative! because then you'll learn what harmony is (chords) and their inversions! instead of calling it a "G" chord shape.
LOL. Just from reading the title I knew exactly what the grooves where. And of course, I was right 😅. Great video and great ideas. I’ll be incorporating them in my playing.
Your helping me with my bass playing ty sm ❤
Dat side eye. Haha
Love the twist you made man.
Great job man.
1:05 lmao that face!! i feel your pain bro
This video made me laugh out loud seriously super funny I need it a good laugh and this was great. Six 700 million times!
Give or take lol
That is very useful and musical! Thank You!
Thanks for all you do! I’m a beginner and would like the PDF music for the overused beat too! Could you add that please?
There have been a handful of times that I’ve shown up to rehearsal (not having heard the songs yet) and and I sit behind the kit and the MD tells me to count it off and I do, not knowing what I’m supposed to play, and I go into that Tom groove and I don’t think that I’ve been wrong yet.
Rob you are like the big brother, father, uncle, I never had, over the few years I’ve watched you. mentor I guess is the word. Keep up the good work my friend!
Awesome job!
Thanks!
It all sounds good to me. Do like the variation of toms and the accents. Thanks.
Rob!. The look on your face while playing the pattern ..... Priceless!. LOL!
The look @1:05. 😂😂😂 But he ain't lying. I play for a CCM style church. I have to find ways around it and to be more creative with it allllll the time.
Thank you for this educational and entertaining lesson :D
1:45 again Rob's valuable additional piece of advice, no extra charge, so thank you sir ! 😁
This is awesome! Thank you!
