May the rhythm of the King of king’s beat in your heart for 2009!
Happy new year - From Matt
Listen to the actual recording :
My King, I wonder do you know Him?
My King was born King. The Bible says He’s a Seven Way King. He’s the King of the Jews – that’s a racial King. [...]

A few years ago I went through a challenging time spiritually. I heard people talking as if they knew God so well that they had Him all figured out. It was as if they could read his mind and know what He would say for any situation. They had, effectively and in my opinion, packaged [...]

The cymbal. Something I never gave much thought till I had to decide on which one to buy! I suddenly realised that intricate complexities, the subtle nuances and incredible soundscapes that these bronzed alloy compositions held within themselves.

Being in worship team is more than just keeping the beat. In fact, I started this web site because that was my conviction : there is more to being a drummer in a worship team than just keeping the beat! A proficient worship leader would expect those basic qualities in a drummer as a given. [...]
