Hey my favorite worship leader.. on my favorite subject ;) I am working at adoro, a drum manufacturer which aims to supply the least loudest drums. Our drums are about 15dB less loud, but also sound best when played with less force, due to the construction. It is a matter of sizes, materials, craftsmanship, but also recognizing that drums were made intentionally loud to fight marshall stacks. To solve volume issues, we have to solve sound issues of the drums -the better they sound, the less loud they are perceived. So improving the drum sound is essential. Plus, say good buy to your idea of large drums…
The goal of corporate worship is for everyone to be able to enter into praise and worship of God. Personally, I don't believe this is happening in most churches. The music is so loud you can't sing loud enough to hear yourself or the people next to you sing. I know some people like it loud so that they can just blend in and not have to sing. Still, in general, we don't want to be sung at, we want to be involved at a heart level praising God. We've become spectators rather than participates. The experience is cheapened to one of a listener. Sure, we can be blessed by listening, but it's still not corporate worship with all the saints in one accord. We have said something, but when you finally get up the nerve to say something, eyes roll and you get "marked" as a person who complains, so the point isn't ever received. We lost something when everyone on the floor is standing there silence, meanwhile the band is going nuts. I don't think it will be that way in heaven.
Jeremy, your drums are amazing. You play it with passion and sincerity.
