Drum Talk

1 Reply

If you are going to purchase a drum set for your studio or for your personal use, which would you rather buy electronic drums or acoustic drums?

There has been many on-going debates whether which is best. It has been said that if you have less budget, then you should definitely go for the acoustic drum set or if you have a smaller space, then you should go for the electronic drums. Most drummers say that it is best to start with acoustic drums so that you get to feel the beat and enjoy the drums first hand.

But I definitely think it really depends on your budget and on your purpose for the drum set.

The Sound Mixer

Just recently, our church purchased a sound mixer very similar to the denon mixers. It is a basic need in our church because it controls the sound of the musical instruments, singers and the preacher during the worship services. As my husband would say, the investment in sound mixer is important as people come to church services to worship and to hear the Word of God being preached.

The sound mixers have a lot more use and sound operators need to understand all the channels and how to properly use the technology mixers bring. Aside from purchasing a really good sound mixer, it is important that a sound operator be given the proper training to maximize the full potential of sound mixers.

Courageous The Movie

I highly recommend the movie Courageous for all families to watch together. It tackles the importance of faith in the family. The issues dealt with in the story are very real and common in our every day life. It deals with death of a family member, teenage issues, past mistakes and integrity at work. The story centers around the men or the fathers of the home. It is a good eye-opener to families everywhere how God could be at work in their individual families as well.

We may face challenges and trials every day, but God will see us through every situation. He will make us courageous as we stand up for what we believe in.
