A remarkable percussionist and drummer, this young man captured my attention a few years ago. I would love to see him live one day. I do not know if he is a Christian or not but I can see that God has blessed him with a wonderful gift of rhythm. Enjoy the creativity of Assaf.

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 [...]

Matt — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 09:41:59 +0000

As more and more people find the web site through Google and Yahoo etc.., it’s great to have links from other web sites of related interest to drive traffic to the site so that more drummers can connect via the site and forum. For that reason I have created some live feed banners using Feedburner. These [...]

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.

Matt — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 00:00:25 +0000

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 [...]

Interview with Paul Evans (Delirious?)

Matt — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 23:01:53 +0000

Paul Evans is the envy of many a drummer as he was chosen to pick up where Stew Smith (Delirious?) left off. Bringing his energy and enthusiasm and wealth of drumming experience to the table, and the news that Delirious? are set to end their chapter in the book of music, Paul is a vital [...]
