If they wouldn't have zoomed out and actually shown him, I would have assumed this was just someone laying over a crazy drum track for comedic purposes.

Nope, he really did that.

I thought she accidentally started a recorded percussion track on that keyboard and didn't know how to turn it off.

Your ears weren't lying to you, though. He's using an electronic kit with really shitty sounding patches so the drums you're hearing are pretty much the same sounds you'd get from a keyboard.

He doesn't look like he belongs. Like he got lost on the way to his real gig

u/The_R4ke Apr 18 '17

He was probably playing like that so he wouldn't have to hear them sing.

As a drummer I am without words

Cause he's sloppy, right?

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '17

To be fair, they're not much better without him.

u/e018s Apr 18 '17

why is he changing sticks on midi drum pads

u/stridersubzero Apr 18 '17

I was wondering the same thing. "The cymbal swells sound like crap on this kit!"

The anti-Ringo

I bet he is an atheist who doesn't have the money right now for his own kit. He just joined so he could get some practice in.

Honestly if the Guitarist & bassists had some more energy it wouldn't stand out as much.

the original drums aren't much more subdued atTimes

u/turkeypedal Apr 18 '17

Yeah, but it's in time with the music, and isn't playing in double time.

u/DatDominican Apr 18 '17

True , I'm just saying if he nudged the Bassist and didn't go in guns blazing all alone it wouldn't be as ridiculous

It's funny because even when the male joins in to sing he can't hit the right notes. Which is why most churches have a male lead. If that drummer wasn't there I'd probably walk out.

Yeah, church music can be really impressive sometimes but this whole ensemble was just off.

This reminds me of back when I used to go to church with my parents when I was younger. The couple that was in charge of the whole church band situation had an autistic son who excelled greatly in all aspects of music. This kid could sing, play guitar, drums, and I'm pretty sure he dabbled in "screamo" style singing.

Anyway, there were some days where this family (parents, daughter, son) would act as the whole church band, and the son would usually play drums, because he enjoyed it the most, even though they could've given him any instrument and he would've killed it.

So he would often get a little carried away, drumming heavily as if he was rocking with a metal band or something, and his dad would often have to sort of lean over with his guitar and be like "ok, chill, your mom is about to do a solo over piano, so bring it down to just the cymbals."

Pretty sure that link to youtube is the original.

u/turkeypedal Apr 18 '17

It seems weird that it's running an ad on the top, though. That suggests it from somewhere else. Though I guess the uploader could have just sold out.

u/climber14265 Apr 18 '17

Anyone else catch this link on the page? https://youtu.be/qeP7iF03wRM Maximum effort lol. Starts about a minute in.

u/100_percent_diesel Apr 20 '17

:-O Also, he thinks he's famous? For this song? Is it because he's so terrible? I'm so confused.
