Wack/Corny Musicians!!
« on: May 11, 2009, 01:46:44 PM »
Have any of you ever encountered a WACK musician? Now I'm not talking about people with low skill levels, I'm talking about people who can play, but choose to do dumb things during service.

Why do the drummers have to piddle paddle loudly on the set during prayer or other unessassary (sp) times?

Why do keyboard players have to play ring tones or Popular songs during service?

WHY!!

I guess yall can share your experiences with your encounters with musicians who are Wack, corny, etc. :D

  LOL! My brother does that from time to time, but not on the set, on his knees...it's not loud to where the congregation can hear, but it is loud enough to get on my nerves  :D...
       
         ...I can't be too mad at him because he doesn't realize that he's doing it most of the time...He'll stop and apologize when he sees my "Boy, what are you doin?!" look :D
    ...He loves to drum so no matter where he goes, he brings his stick bag...his coworkers told me that he's practicing durin lunchbreak...

       ...if he's on the passenger side, he'll practice on whatever song is playing in the car at the time...



Why do keyboard players have to play ring tones or Popular songs during service?



There was this one church that I went to in Washington State and I used to get on this guy all the time about that mess...actin like there's not at least one person that knew what song he's playing...

   ...he would usually play it during offering and some of the older folks what down the aisle jammin, while some teenagers laughin...but there was one of the mothers of the church that was still keepin up with the younger generation and smashed on him real quick... :D


----------------

  I think it's real janky for someone who has not been to practice... ain't EVEN on the PW team... grab a mic from the side... move it next to the group, and start singing.... (Yes, this has happened on a Sunday...AND it happened at that same church in Washington State)

   Dude....WHO DOES THAT?!!! :o :o :o

  I have it on tape...and now I can look back on it, smh and lol...never seen that before in my life...My mom's reaction was also caught on tape and it had me slain! lol
 
   Really...WHO DOES THAT?!

I have done that outside of church at a venue where it was appropriate.  I will say it annoys me when drummers will hit anything with their sticks i.e. a B3 or piano.  Ummmm Hello, if it isn't a drum head or practice pad, then leave it be.   ::)

The funniest story I have is I was at this church for a program. Our church was supposed to be in charge of the service, but they church opened up with a song or something. Anyways, I wanted to jump in and help the guy that was playing keys. So, I asked him what key was he in? His reply: +3

I bout died after that from laughing so hard. :D

Aight, so we're in a high worship moment. My FL is flowin' in the spirit, I'm on the keys, my pastor even sings a little bit. My pastor starts to pray.


This dude (who's on our P&W team but struggles with the gift of singing) took off his jacket, made his way towards the drums.


I see him and I'm thinkin', 'Oh boy; but, I'll try to coax him through it.'  ::) :-\


Why did my pastor tell the brotha, 'Nah, brotha.' Now, I can't see this (as it's happening behind me) but I could hear my pastor in his mic.


Yo' man, lookin' like a small boy, put his jacket back on and went back to 'ushering'.


I almost lost it.  :D :D :D :D :D



Why do folks find it necessary to do extra during moments like that?  ?/? :-\

One time somebody bought my pastor a ring as a gift and while they were presenting it to pastor the keyboard player started playing that beyonce song, "single ladies".The worst part was that he didn't know the song so he was figuring it out as he was playing. I was thinking to myself if you gon do something like that at least play it right.
you got to hear numbers

That actually happens frequently when I play with older cats in the jazz genre. Most of the dudes that do that normally just point up and give the number(of sharps) or point down and give the number(of flats)

I think you gave the first plausible reason for that, since the first time I heard him mention the incident.

   I have a keyboardist at my church who uses a cheesy slap bass sound on his keyboard(Korg Trinity) and plays it like its a piano. He doesn't split it bass/piano, he just uses the bass all across the keys, and it GETS ON MY NERVES! He be playin' them "old-timey" chords and that makes it worse... Seeing that he is the district M.O.M. and he's in charge (even though I am the main musician), I can do nothing but grit my teeth every time he plays. Every now and then, he'll use a synth sound, but he plays it the exact same way!

   I mean, I have great respect for him, but since he joined the church, I feel like the quality of our music dropped 30%. He has really good sounds on the Trinity, so why does he insist on using that cheesy bass?

You should've known that's Eb, yo' favorite key.  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

The problem is +3 doesn't really tell u much. It could be +3 from anything. Besides, I knew he was talking about Eb only because I know him. Most people in my area only play in C. I just didn't expect dude to actually holler out +3 like it was normal talk.

^^^^^^ indeed

LOL I was just thinking about this time my church went out to another church, right. I know the keyboard player and he has this way of trying to wait until I look off to hit the transpose button. Its so funny! He hasn't known until I blasted him that day.

Anyway, his choir got up to sing, right, and I looked off on purpose so he would hit the transpose key. Apparently he hit the wrong button, and started getting some fuzzy feedback out of his amp. He had to reset everything! By this time his choir had started to sing and hes was finding the key. his choir director started staring at him with that "What are you doing, we don't pay you to sit there!" look (trust me, thats exactly what it looked like :D).

Anyway, I see him glancing over at me out the corner of his eye, right, so I turn to him and say, loudly"Its ok, man, do what you gotta do. You gon' end up gettin yo pay docked worryin' 'bout me!"


It looked like it pained him to touch the transpose button with me watching. :D :D :D
