"Hey Paul,
I have experience [good and bad] with all the above. Drum shields are a great solution to your problem of cutting down on stage noise and reducing overbearing floor monitor levels. I have played in all scenarois, acoustic, electronic,…"

Your point is well taken. However, I would submit that both times for a new trainee are important.

Fred Kison replied to Pietro Avolio Jr.'s discussion 'Reasons for having Sound Techs at practice'"Toni,
Yes, it is good for me! It is good for me to be self contolled and have a Christ-like attitude and approach to everyone around me. Especially in kingdom building, where our character and example mean everything. How frustrating and…"
Fred Kison replied to Junjie's discussion 'Kick pedal woes...' in the group Drummers"Junjie,
Loosen the set screw that is at the bottom of the tension spring [right side of pedal if looking at it from throne] so it will decrease the "spring" feeling on your pedals footboard. Start there, most likely the person that played…"
Fred Kison replied to Pietro Avolio Jr.'s discussion 'Reasons for having Sound Techs at practice'"Whats fairly normal? Being upset toward voal rehearsals or drummers throwing their sticks? I've been playing for thirty years and never threw my sticks out of discontentment or anger."
Fred Kison replied to Pietro Avolio Jr.'s discussion 'Reasons for having Sound Techs at practice'"Pietro,
The sound tech is as much a part of the team as everyone else. Quite frankly, he/she is the most important person on the team because they can make or break your sound quality. I always had the sound tech that was on for that Sunday at…"
Fred Kison replied to Richard J's discussion 'How much practice time should we expect people to put in?'"Richard,
You ask a great question, however one that you will undoubtedly wrestle with throughout your entire pastoral career, as I do also. It sounds as if maybe you need to be clear on "expectations of worship team members." I have had…"

You do realize that this is a circular…"
Stevo replied to Fred Kison's discussion 'Christian Musicians playing in Secular Events....'"Music and literature are no different in this respect. Do the same people who eschew music also refuse to read classic literature? This isn't about being cool or relevant, that's kind of a silly notion. It's about knowing the hearts…"

Stevo replied to Fred Kison's discussion 'Christian Musicians playing in Secular Events....'"I think Jesus would be more than willing to listen to a good Mark Knopfler song. And if you listen to Gillian Welch's tune, "Elvis Presley Blues" and aren't moved in a spiritual way, check your pulse.

Paul Carlson replied to Fred Kison's discussion 'Christian Musicians playing in Secular Events....'"Corporately pray about this as a church and then take your church with you.
