The new year is now upon us and The Christian Drummer web site is in its third year now. So much has changed since I started the site. Every year, I take it up a notch and do something else with it for the sake of encouraging and building up Christian drummers worldwide. So this [...]

Hey, this is the sound clip from my warming up and sound check from the Battle of the Bands at JCC in November 2008. Just messing about really (in other words, not very tight or professional!) but I really enjoyed it! Sound changes after 2 mins after second mic is added to catch bass tones.

I enjoyed a few minutes of getting to show off a little bit of what the djembe can do at a Battle of the Bands contest at Jubilee Community Church on Saturday evening. It was a great evening and I am sure all enjoyed it. Peter Meade was taking photos and graciously gave me a [...]

The carnival drums beat out their rhythms
the joy and passion of the dance.
They call to the reveller
to enter their sacred trance.
Slaves to the beat they move
in an endless pattern of unending frenzy.

Hi everyone,
I am getting a lot requests from drummers looking for tabs for praise and worship songs. There are loads of resources available for guitarists but none for us drummers! That cool new song that gets you tapping, how do you play it?
I am thinking of starting a resource for drummers to be able to [...]

These are just of me… how vain! I have not got the official pics from Derek the photographer yet.

Hey everyone,
We are moving house in the next few weeks and I will be offline for a little while while we find another house! We’re moving from Belfast in Northern Ireland to Windsor in England. So please be patient with the site over the next two months. I have some articles on the way so [...]

Hey everyone
I am writing an article on cymbals : what they are, how they’re made, what they look like, how they sound, how we use them in our drum set in worship.
I would love to know what everyone else uses as their cymbals setups and would appreciate photos of your cymbals! Send me your photo [...]
