It should depend on the church. If I was playing/singing at a megachurch I would be much more comfortable asking for compensation because they can afford it. If I played at a small church I'd be more investing in helping than being helped. But I would be very clear to the pastor that what I was doing was volunteer work, and that I need to provide for my family so there may be some services where I have to take other work for the sake of paying my bills, or I will have to hold down a 9-5 so I can provide and still play here. HOWEVER no matter the size of the ministry, If God spoke to me and told me not to take any pay obviously I'm working for free cuz that's GOD

EAD10 ?

Not cool at all

Balance and moderation is everything.

Any time anyone walks in while im playing, my arms go jelly and my hands turn to stone 😭

We’re all here for the reaction of faces lol 😂 love and miss you Aaron 😢

JC nice kit🔥

Yeah he punched us in the face with this one

I agree with this dude. First staring out my heart was in wrong place and things went south. Ended up being humbled and surrounded myself with level headed musicians. That's when things changed.

I’ve done that before to floor Tom kinda crazy lol

IT FITS SO WELL😭😭😭 "MY FACE WOULD TO MANGLED TO IDENTIFY

His drumming makes tracks

I wonder if what he does with the high hat is intentional… or if it’s just habit like Drummer typically do with moving the left foot.. I would love to know

Pss pss pss lol crazy left

Hey josh, going back to the gettin payed part. I've seen a video a few years back with Gino jennings, he speaks about "the preacher/pastor" getting payed. He made a very big point, going back to taylor jr. When he speaks about your heart, i strongly agree with yall especially NOW A DAYS‼️

Left foot😳 chop chop chop whole damn time

The Bible say that the Levites who were the musicians were paid(right along with the other Levites)from the tithes the Israelites paid. Who are church leaders to do different? It is sinful. Paul said "Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain" and it is a phrase that appears in the Bible in 1 Timothy 5:18 and Deuteronomy 25:4. The phrase means that it's unfair to prevent an ox from eating grain while it's working because it needs the food to replenish its strength. Why are church musicians treated different? We need financial replenishment. We work hard at our craft and nothing less than excellence is demanded from us. I’ll answer…we are treated different because of greed and guilt based on manipulation which is sin. I literally studied this out so I can go at preachers and evangelists and none of them could tell me I’m wrong. And if they did I’d aske them…”Sooo…you’re saying you know more than God?”…and they shut right up.

Yo, thanks for having an open discussion about this. Keep it coming.

Real talk. Your gift will make room for you. It’s in the word

Pastors take home millions and living lavish lifestyles but than you stiffle your workers that has responsibilities...when a church is in a position to pay workers than they should....too much ministers live lavish yet they aware of some workers going home hungry

The laborer is worth the wages.

😂😂😂

Buzz rolls with singles got me like 🤯...

What he's referring to is not the norm for a bulk of church musicians. Grasping for straws on some of these examples. I grew up playing for my dad's church, I've played professionally, played in marching band, etc, but I never got paid legit until I was almost 50 years old. I never really even considered getting paid for using a gift that God gave me. The gift is payment to me. Now if I was playing for New Birth, Potters House, Elevation Church, etc, then yeah more than likely they're I'm gonna need to be on the payroll. They're doing multiple services in a week, the exposure is greater. Here's another thing to consider, of you're playing at a church with 10 members then yeah I'm not expecting to be able to quit my day job. So it's all situational. Nobody is forcing you to play. I grew up in a church and churches where I was literally was the ONLY musician. I've been in church where they took up an offering for the organist and didn't give me, the drummer anything. So that's another story where the drummer is not as valued as the other musicians. Especially is Pentecostal churches, they value organists very highly. Bottom line again, if you don't want to play for them, don't.

I never even realized his name was ALL 3 of the great names 😂😂🤦🏾

Being a musician is skilled labor. Musicians love the Lord the same way the ushers do but anyone can be an usher where no just anybody can go up there and play drums, guitar, or keys. That’s why you need to pay musicians.

That was great.

🤟🤟🤟🤟

Truth is u might need to get a job and trust God to multiply

The enemy wants to be in the details….now you playing music in the sake of money that stumbles people. For the LOVE of money. Dont mask it fellas….yes the church should pay but than do u go to the other side???

Sooo because church ain’t paying you go get paid from the devil and try to justify??? How bout you trust God for your increase…..

Man, I remember when you was reacting to videos and stuff u really came a long way

5:48😂😂😂😂💀

"A lot of musicians dont have a relationship with the pastor"..one of the main issue

Hard da hear whats going on with low quality sound. I wish his drums were mic’d.

if he can keep kick on the tempo its a pro

I've heard the best.... The best are subtle and precise...😮

Ohhh yes

Machine

Tons of these videos but, some say you dont impress with fill, but with grooves?

If churches don’t want to pay, then don’t request for your musicians to sound like professionals. Also, take musicians out of the church and see how much that church grows.

No lies were told in this video. Complete honesty 💯

I have this technique mastered 😂

I’m not a fan of the voice overs! But they killing!!

I remember a pastor told me “you should play for the lord.” I told him nigga u don’t preach for the lord. They actually paying you to preach. U forgot I be in the money meetings. He kicked me out of the church for life lol I’m glad I left cause a church found out and now I’m getting paid 10x what I asked for. No man can close the doors God got open for you.

Dope kit

2nd take but 3rd better fills at the end

🤣😭💀🤣🤣
