Today I played different on the drums than I ever have before. I kept it so low volume-wise and so simple. I didn't do anything real tricky or abstract or obscure. Of course this is under the assumption that those words should really be in " " because it's all a matter of opinion. The probable reality is that everything I play is simple, it's just complicated to
me. Also I'm sure I still played plenty loud at certain moments.
I'm just saying that as a whole, the session felt so different compared to all the previous weeks.
And I think I really liked it. I've decided that I'm going to commit to playing this new way from now on.
Until I change my mind again.
What are your thoughts? Could you tell a difference in today? If so what did you like or dislike about it?
I saw you and Garry enjoying the playing during worship. I liked that.
ReplyDeleteI know that all in all, I thought the band played very well today. It's the fact that we want to blend, we want to give the people something to worship Jesus with, we want to do our best with what time we have to practice. It really has been wonderful to have many different takes on worship. I hope you enjoy playing with all the leaders, their different styles challenging you in some way to "make it simple." Honestly, it didn't sound simple. You MUST stop belittling your playing, and appreciate what God's given you as others do. It's typical of musicians to do this. I did it for quite some time. I decided to just thank people and hope I do my best for His glory and leave it at that. What else can I do? It's not a career or anything. It's a gift given that I can use to bless others... That's all we can say. But it's enough. :^)
I also just realized I need to look at the DATE you posted rather than assume it's the day I'm posting. :^P But, most of this applies to the question anyway... I love hearing you. That is all.
