It was your job to take what is being said and translate into playable drum language.... Steve Gadd wrote about dealing with this very situation.

teflonminds88's wrong! You did the right thing by stopping! Why further pull a derailed train even more off the tracks!! !!
Lots of non drummers could hear in their heads what they are looking for but can not vocalise it. It was your job to take what is being said and translate into playable drum language.... Steve Gadd wrote about dealing with this very situation.

Exactly...that's what I was talking about

Thanks bigblackdrummer!  The MOM did apologize the next time I saw him.  We will get together and work on that song.  When you let the Lord lead you can't go wrong.  Be blessed.

Do you guys have Choir Rehearsal?????? If he keeps telling you your playing the wrong beat(First of all  you shouldn't be playing a beat you should be playing a Groove) Ask him to either show you the Grooves or give you some type of  reference from a Dvd....Cd....Mp3... Ipod...... 8 track.............45.......Something

I think I understand what you were talking about??...being a non-drummer but just knowing what beats/groove I'm hearing should go with a certain song...I'm glad everything worked out...Stay Blessed!

I'm going to start tappin' the drum forum a lil' mo' so I can learn what y'all talking about...lol ;) :)

Stick around, you'll be a drummer by osmosis, lol, at least that's what I tell myself.  You definitely need a thick skin to converse in here, some of the lounge cats can't survive in the is climate, lol.

ROFL  :D :D :D

Girl, the toughest lounge cats couldn't survive over here... LOL.  It's rough.  In fact, I'm feeling a little nervous just from posting 4 times in two days over here.
 
I think I'm going back to the fly-on-the-wall status before they realize I'm here.   :-\

Teflonminds88 I TOTALLY DISAGREE with your statement.  I am the MOM at the church where I play and being humble is one thing and totally throwing off the choir and the lead is another thing.  Been in that situation before where you are leading a song and the drummer and other instruments are not on one accord makes bad.  However, I did adjust and that was not what the MOM wanted.  Sometimes COMMON SENSE has to fall before humble when there is more involved than just a MOM.   :D  Just because I am the MOM it is not a position that I hold on anyone's head if we don't work together it don't work.


Thanks bigblackdrummer!  The MOM did apologize the next time I saw him.  We will get together and work on that song.  When you let the Lord lead you can't go wrong.  Be blessed.

I'm confused....WHO IS THE MINISTER OF MUSIC? ?/?

Anyway..Now that i think about it, if the beat is just SOOO off that you're messing up the song, then you should probably stop. My statement was more for if the mistake was minor (i.e.- if the song was a drive, and you were swinging it, or maybe if a song was a 6/8 ballad and you played a 2/4 shuffle.)
