- Paul Baloche - what do you so when you get to church on Sunday morning and your drummer couldn't make it? Paul explains the thought process he goes through when dealing with a last-minute change in the band musicians and rethinking his set list to accommodate the new band line-up.

I wholeheartedly agree! It also opens up so many doors as a leader - much easier to run a rehearsal and arrange songs if you can communicate to a pianist/drummer/bassist from their perspective. It takes longer, and can cause you to progress slower on your primary instrument, but the versatility is definitely worth it. I've had Sundays where I didn't have a substitute drummer so I played drums while my electric guitarist played rhythm and led worship.
Soube grande músico guitarra... ele adora música 🎵🎼🎶 senti era grande homem música 🎵🎼 como cantava sentimento
AMEN.
I think its more important to look for musicians who can play more than 1 instrument rather than someone you is spectacular at only one. It really helps, especially in a situation like this :)
Right on Paul. It is like you if you got lemons, then make lemonade.
Amen for that :)..
Hey Bro. I can understand if you are engaged in worship that you may have a hard time smiling. However, there should be SOME times where you are smiling while you worship because it is our greatest calling as human beings. When you smile while you worship the congregation sees your joy in doing so. It helps them engage in worship because seeing that happiness makes people long for what you have, which in turn opens the door for them to worship like you do. Keep up the good work bro!
i truly believe that instead of asking God for awesome and talented drummers, our prayers should ask for drummers who are in love with our AWESOME GOD. and that will initiate automatically a better commitment to the church and worship team.
Paul this is Dr.Samuel from India.... I am a Keyboard player who is extremely passionate in leading worship... I need your guidance and adjustments to be done........suggest me the best way to develop my skill.
I don't usually lead worship ( although I have before ), but I am in a singing group where it's just me and my guitar and a bunch of singers( 8-10 ).
My brother plays keyboard, and my girlfriend plays trumpet, but I'm not quite sure how to utilize them to add some dimension to our set list. Anyone have any tips?
@mahumayhem God bless
It's always good to have backup options like a drum machine or a good keyboard with beat styles. Ofcourse, the keyboardist need to know how to work the beat as you may have to keep pushing buttons (for fills, tempo, pattern changes) all while you play chords/fillers.
Phew, thank God for his grace for we can do ALL THINGS through Christ.
we hardly ever have a drummer on sunday mornings
@mahumayhem yup thats right
I agree with NatPrado, so what? Our praise team has a keyboardist and three guitarists (Me and another teen are two. :P ) and one vocalist. (The pianist sings too, but...) sometimes in practice our worship leader (The pianist.) put drum tracks on via his keyboard, but otherwise we never have percussion. We play all kinds of songs to, hymns to songs like Revival Fire Fall and Our God Saves with no problem!
No drummer always leads to better collective worship in my experience, we are supposed to sing together in the Lord. It is so much easier to breath and relax when the mood is not affected by a loud beat. That doesn't mean I don't like drummers, at all, but I enjoy when the whole room seems carry the songs.
They've got an app for that ;-)
Was he/she ok?
I have been drumming in worship bands for around 8 years, I don't find that I want to sing all the time, smiling is hard when i'm fully engaged in worship. Other drummers in my church are unreliable but they don't play as much now. I disagree that we have a bad rep but smiling isn't going to change a lot.
Yea so what ? Our church band started out with no drummer, no bass & no keyboardist just me & my guitar.
the first thing ill do is PRAY before NEVER FREAK OUT
...Lead worship and play drums at the same time like I do.
@allaboutHIM1000 An audience is typically made up of the people listening to the music being played or the message being spoken. When you break down the word "audience" you'll get "audio" which means "sound", in contrast to "video" or "visual"
the angels?hehehe ;)
GOD, is the primary audience :)
I would've played drums myself lol
Drummer's need to be more responsible in worship bands. They need to realize that they are worship leaders as well and no different from the vocalists that lead. Drummers need to sing with the song while they play, smile, and engage the congregation. NOT be absent. Happens too many times. I've been a worship drummer for 25 years and have probably have missed maybe 5 times out of those Sundays, but they were planned and I had a backup ready.. Drummers get with it and stop with the bad rep.
if you don't have a drummer, then you take the bass drum off of the kit, set it in front of the guitarist, and have him stomp quarter notes for the rockin' songs while playing guitar
@allaboutHIM1000 People use congregation and audience interchangeably. it doesnt mean paul thinks he is just putting on a show. stop being difficult.
I liked it better before we incorporated drums. Drums drown out the acoustics and singing.
totally agree
BT3701 Then at that time you didn't have the right drummer who knows how to bring it down and not be a distraction.
Paul, God wants us to be Holy in music, Drums doesn't bring "energy" into the church, if it does that is very bad. That must be demonic or flashy. Yes, we can't hear anything when the drums are making a big noise in the Congregation. The Church is in need today. God want to see more anointed worship leaders, means being led by the Holy Spirit and not by emotions,cultural biases or any other spirits.
