The Perfect Metronome-Product Review

At Freedom Church we have been searching for the best metronome to use for our drummers. After searching high and low I came across a little gem called a Peterson Body Beat BBS-1. It is a wireless pulsating metronome.  It comes with a pulsator that your drummer can wear and this will allow him/her to actually feel the 4/4 timing rather than hearing.  Another upside to this marvelous piece of equipment is that if you have a few of these things you can sync them together.  You can assign one of them to be the master.  For instance if your drummer has one set on master and he/she hits play the rest of the bands will also begin to play the same tempo. Or you can give one to the drummer and place a second one at the sound board.  Plug it in the sound board and run that click through the in-ear system.  These puppies will cost you around $129 a unit.  You can get them just about anywhere online.  I ordered ours from musicians friend.

8 Things the Worship Pastor Wants His Band to Know

Eight things that the Worship Pastor wants his band to know…

1. Always, Always, Always tune before you begin the set. Never tune while the Pastor is speaking. Even if you are muted.

2. Don’t hit strings in between songs.  Mute your instrument.

3. You should never ask, ‘So how does this next song go again?”  right before we play it.

4. Transitions, transitions, transitions. Never allow more than 2 seconds of dead air.

5. Realize that you are not just playing an instrument, you are leading worship.

6. We strive for excellence so be open for criticism.

7. Be prepared spiritually.

8. I am not perfect. I will make leadership mistakes.
