What is music to me? Music is life…My heart beat races with every kick of the bass and snare. My lungs breathe words with every line of the song. My feet begin to fill up with eagerness as the rhythm guitar syncopates my walk. My mind wonders and imagines Greatness with every melodic tone of the electric guitar. The bass begins to add the blood flow as the vibrations fill every party of my body. It brings my body together… all the parts together as one bring me to life. It gives me meaning, purpose, a way to worship my God. It puts me in a different place. It is not the only way to worship Him…we worship with Him with our life… but music to me is the one that brings us all together in one voice… all together singing his praises…all together feeling that one emotion…for in that moment when everything clicks…when we feel that emotion in the music and our body feels that joy…maybe just maybe it is a glimpse of what Heaven feels like.
That’s what music is to me. That’s why I do what I do. That’s why I take what I do seriously. I want my drumming to create an atmosphere within the “music” that gives it a heart beat. I do not do it because it is fun. I do it for His glory! I do it so that some way some how what I am feeling and playing through my drum will bring the music to life and that that music “we” are creating will connect with someone out there and bring them closer to Him.
