Sometimes you just have to solo — at least, that is the message one drummer sent during a church service.

The viral video, as seen on the Alternative Press, shows a band performing a worship song by Hillsong United titled "Oceans." It starts with a young keyboardist singing softly and unaccompanied before the chorus kicks in and the drummer goes crazy on his electric kit. The entire band remains pretty calm during the metal-like solos, which were clearly unrehearsed.

As one commenter observed, the drum part in the actual song is pretty epic, but there is a lot less attitude.

Check out the hilarious video below:

Here is a few choice comments from the YouTube community:

Rawk4Life: Was their drummer out sick that night, and the worship leader just picked a random guy off the street to fill in?

Aaron Coal: The drummer for Lamb of God went to the wrong gig.

MrSparklespring: Possessed by the spirit of ...Keith Moon! - lol-

Bayan1905: Apparently someone decided to try and channel Keith Moon or John Bonham before they went to church that morning, which is good because his drumming sounds better than her singing. One of the things I like about our church is their use of more upbeat music that doesn't put you into a coma while you are listening to it.

MartzMimic: God bless him, he's just doing what EVERY drummer I've known wants to do on EVERY song. When the Spirit moves you...

thecoolguy010: He has chops, but he's playing for the wrong gig.

irwin3036able: This is what Hillsong United ft. Mike Portnoy would sound like.
