Inspiration...

[JFunky]

...what or who inspires you to play?  What type of things motivate you to think of new and fresh ideas?


...other than being guided by God and the Holy Spirit....at this point....my inspiration is listening to musicians worship God through their instrument or voice.  I'm inspired by true worship to God in the form of honest music and musicians.

...watching my daughter practice on the kit at home keeps me motivated and teaches me to never lose touch with the kid in me...

....your turn.

For me it is seeing people praise God and that alone mativates me....

The way people are blessed through the ministry God has given me, is a great encouragement and source of motivation because it opens up doors for me to minister. The fact that playing the kit is a way of worshiping God, using the gift he has given to me fro his Glory.

Watching individuals be led musically by God, being bold and being humble to what he saying and where he is saying to go, 'sometimes man doesn't like this' but it's all about Gods will.

Also realisisng that there is still 'ALOT' of stuff to learn to help you to improve in all areas of my playing, and the buzz you get out of finally being able to play that beat, that fill/ chop that song  etc.

I call it "The Urge". It's just something I've always done, and always will do, probably. I liken it to other base needs, frankly. The longer I go without playing, like with eating, water or ......, the more I crave it.

As far as fresh ideas, I suppose I'm naturally opposed to knowingly re-using my & other people's ideas. I don't believe that their is nothing new under the sun, frankly. That belief is reason enough to keep me going...
