The Worship Drum Book: Concepts to Empower Excellence (Worship Musician Presents)

The Worship Drums Book: Concepts to Empower Excellence is a powerful guide for drummers in contemporary churches and for drummers in traditional churches who are making the transition from worship that's supported by organ or piano to worship that's supported by a full rhythm section. With over 30 years experience in the modern worship movement, author Carl Albrecht has a vast knowledge of modern musical styles in church. The use of drums in a church worship services can be a very controversial issue, so Albrecht shares ways that drummers can be sensitive to the congregation and leaders and yet play with authority and confidence. Developing great drumming skills along with an understanding of spiritual matters is crucial. Therefore, while this book addresses important traditional drumming techniques and concepts, it also explains the unique role that drummers - or musician of any sort - have as minstrels in the house of the Lord. In this book, Albrecht also shares concepts to help touring music groups and worship artists who are called outside the church walls. He and his wife, Leann, minister to churches and worshippers all around the world while also sharing an active ministry in their home church in Nashville.
