The Christian Drummer - 2nd Anniversary!
Oct 31st, 2008 | By Matt | Category: Matt's Blog, NewsHey guys and gals,
The Christian Drummer web site is now officially 2 years old!
The beat that unites us, the heartbeat of God
What I have loved about running the Christian Drummer site is that fact that I have been connecting with drummers all over the world that share the same thing besides being drummers. We share our faith in God, in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. It has been absolutely amazing how there has been this connection that allows us to develop a relationship outside of drumming but have drumming be the common bond and our Christianity be the glue for that bond.
Drummers in Romania, Brazil, Czech Republic, Malaysia, Netherlands, America, Canada, South Africa, United Kingdom and Australia – all connected, all united by God. It is still so encouraging to hear from drummers all over the world – to hear how they’re doing, what they’re doing and how they see their roles as drummers in the church and outside of it. It encourages me when someone writes and tells me how an article on The Christian Drummer web site has encouraged them.
The same way rhythm ties all sound and music together, our faith in God and our relationship with Him ties our relationships with others together. This sense of unity is something amazing to behold and great to be a part of.
So, as we go into the third year of this site being online, may I thank everyone who comments on an article and also encourage you that all are welcome to submit articles or ideas for the site at any time!
Here’s to another year…!
Happy Birthday for your website! ;o)
Matt it’s a blessing that I met with you, even if only online just yet but you are an inspiration for me in Romania,

Hey guys,
Thanks for your encouraging comments. I never thought starting a blog would turn into a site that people would visit and use. It’s a privilege to do it and I love it.
Dear folks,
Hello. I just found your website on the web. Could someone out there please give me a hand. I’ve been looking for a drummer in Australia (east coast, primarily Queensland - Townsville, etc.) named Mark McLean. I believe he joined the Christian Drummers Association. We used to play and record together in a group called “Mixed Company”, previously called “Three’s Company”. Our material has been released under the group name of “Paul and Friends”. I’ve been looking for him for about 8 yrs. I had given up - but I thought some of you folks may have run across him. Please let me know if the name rings a bell and if you know how he can be contacted.
Many thanks.
Best Wishes and God bless,
Paul W. Sammarco
(Alias - Paul Summers - Australian stage name)
of “Paul and Friends”
