Members JSimms Posted March 30, 2004 Members Share Posted March 30, 2004 Come on guys, the best South Park ever was the one where they get the Chineese guy to build the city wall... And to be on topic, I am sure that there are Christian drummers out there, just none around this BB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I'm not a religious man by any means, I know 3 Christian drummers here in Fort Collins. Maybe there's just a lot of God fearing folk in Colo.

Members ulank Posted March 31, 2004 Members Share Posted March 31, 2004 Originally posted by mmmiddle Anyone? I would, but my style is more of a Jewish/Islamic blend with a side of zaragemca. Sorry.

Oh it's totally because I'm a bigot. Huh? Honestly I am looking for a drummer to play punk/power pop music, not Christian music, but we do want a Christian drummer. Everyone else in the band is.

Who gives a {censored} if everyone in your band is Christian - you are playing non-christian music - then you are playing MUSIC not embarking upon a relegious descovery of your band mate. Look for a drummer - not a Christian I think your a bigot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mmmiddle Posted March 31, 2004 Author Members Share Posted March 31, 2004 It's not true that we are playing "non-Christian" music. All I'm trying to say is that we aren't playing "praise & worship" - which is what most people think when they hear "Christian music." In fact, our lyrics will reflect our beliefs because lyrics reflect the writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stapes2260 Posted March 31, 2004 Members Share Posted March 31, 2004 yeah if you aren't playing christian music, then who cares. And even if i were in a christian band, i wouldn't care what faith the drummer was as long as he was OK with the material. I'll join the band, but only if i get to shave my head and paint a swastika on my bass drum head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ponch_A_Rella Posted March 31, 2004 Members Share Posted March 31, 2004 Back before I started drumming I was lead guitarist for my band. We had a Christian drummer...... he constantly complained about how his Christian girlfriend stopped having sex with him unless they got married because she didn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rumblebelly Posted March 31, 2004 Members Share Posted March 31, 2004 Well, I don't wanna get into a debate about religion or anything like that but most people like to hang out with folks that have similar interests as they do. I'm as guilty as anyone else out there. I'd rather hang out with people that have a good work ethic, aren't holy rollers, eat meat, drink beer, and prefer midget porn. However, sometimes you just gotta branch out and hang with people that like just plain old normal porn. See what I mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mmmiddle Posted March 31, 2004 Author Members Share Posted March 31, 2004 You guys all have different viewpoints. That's good. Here's the thing about our band: we have a specific goal in mind to let our actions speak loudly about Jesus Christ while our words only point the way. I am just being open about our faith to any prospective drummers, because they will be joining a band with Jesus Christ as the focus, but not in the overt "Hey everyone, we're going to bash you in the face with our religion" kind of way. The band is going to have to all be Christian because this is a tough thing to do. We will all pray together and be expected to share about who we are with anyone who asks. What I'm looking for isn't to exclude good drummers, but to establish a deep unity and a band with members that can readily share what the band is about. A lot of people have the impression that Christians are clique- or club-oriented. They think we all like to be bigoted and look down on people who don't follow our specific list of rules. I'm out to change that and I'm looking for people who want to be in a band of Christians who aren't uptight, refuse to play outside the walls of a church building, or refuse to associate with non-Christians. We in fact are out to make meaningful music for everyone because we believe that there is something for everyone in Jesus. Most people who didn't grow up in the church don't have the context to understand what Christians are saying, though, because Christians seem to have a certain vocabulary. My idea is that it is actions which show this better, and words which can only hint at it. So that's why the drummer should be a Christian. If we had another drummer, he/she would feel really out of place, and when asked about what the band was about, I'd have a feeling he/she would have a very different answer than the rest of us, which could be confusing to fans. Does that make better sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members steamyz Posted March 31, 2004 Members Share Posted March 31, 2004 So i am going to start a funk band - and we are really serious about THE FUNK - and what it means to be FUNKY. So we want a BLACK drummer - because that's where FUNK started....and we have to be authentic..... So i am only looking for a BLACK drummer.....our fans depend on it.

Why not just form a band of people who LOVE MUSIC,who cares what religion someone is if they love their craft and their music,do your bit to improve the sorry state the world is in now and have people of different faiths or no faith in your band,have your band 'ethic' that music crosses all barriers of colour,religion.culture etc,there are plenty of good wiccan,muslim,jewish, etc musicians out there.You know it makes sense.
