I actually kinda liked it lol as the guy above me said in a church setting Obviously not, but otherwise it sounds cool and foreboding to start it that way.
In my experience, it's the singers who either push or drag a song to how they like it. Then the band either keeps the bpm, or conforms to the "preferred" tempo. It's the adjustment time that gets awkward. Personally, the drummer is my click.
Ofc not as a lead guitarist I can never listen to drums if I don't have it in ear monitors coz all the other instruments are there and the vocal and my guitar should be more so no drums
Worship bands use a lot of effects, like delays on guitar for example, or multitracks that play along with the music. So the click is necessary to keep everything in sync. Also for parts where the drummer does not play, everybody will keep in perfect time. Also the in ears make it possible to play without monitors on stage, so there is a lot less extra noise for the sound guy to deal with.
Worship can’t never fail I’ve your not in the flesh, I’ve you’re led by the Holy Spirit. It’s the best worship ever, I’ve you worship in your flesh, it will go for destruction.
@@stuiedamanBut not really though. Been in and out of bands for over 20 years, none of us ever used them live and we always played all of our songs 100% how we wrote them live every single time
Had to play a whole song on drums with no audio but the occasional harmony from our vocalist in my ears once. Was terrifying but we managed to stay on beat so God is good lol
The only fail in this situation would be the muted click track that the sound man forgot to unmute before he took his cigarette break and called his girlfriend lol. He came back in, said "oh shi....I meant to do that. I was testing y'all to see how you'd act if I wasn't here" and the click track comes back in riiiiight before the 1🤘. Had this harrowing situation behind the Jesus shield taken place about 17 years ago, dude probably wouldn't have had an in ear monitor but, instead, would have had a refurbished monster Yamaha monitor with two horns blasting behind the dome and no click track. Usually, the only time anyone used in ear monitor systems back when I was getting started as a drummer was when we were at a high end facility or if an event was being recorded at a high end facility. The drummer WAS the click track then. In an environment of that size, we'd have grabbed 'er by the horns and started slamming! Ahhhhh, the days when the importance of keeping time was drilled into your DNA😎. I say all of this jokingly because it's a humorous right of passage where if you know, you know lol.
Once while in church we were doing the song I thank god, dont know if you know if but Im the drummer and the track randomly cut out in the middle of the song and its a pretty fast song. Luckily all of us can do without them but it could have went really bad.
That’s actually only really a stage thing/ record thing. I’m in a band that plays a lot of different shows across Florida (Saturn Lights if you’re interested) and one of the things our drummer runs into alot is the sound of his drums pumping over the sound of his monitors. It can actually give you kinda a latency effect- where stuff you here is off beat out of the monitors, and when everything at the show is so loud in ears really help. The bigger the venue, the louder, the more in ears help. Also important if the rest of your band is playing to a track that’s prerecorded. For recordings it’s obvs really important that you’re on time with the met- that way in DAW the producer has an easy time fixing anything and you have an easy time get counted back into to record over mistakes. I’m sure this guy could probably play without in ears too, it’s just nice on stage.
Yeah some just don’t know what a click is for. It’s a benefit to be able to play with a click. You can play with or without one and sound great. Them playing to a click is what helped them keep time so well in this instance when the click went out.
They play to a click to keep the time... it wasn't working at first amd thy said "we have no click" then they got it fixed and you can hear the click. The click is basically a simple metronome.
I was wondering bc my drums sound decent but I want them to sound better since I’m a big worship drummer I want a couple of my stuff tuned right thank you very much and godbless you
@@tylercrews9025ummm, yes, i do understand what clicks sre, and they are a crutch needed to keep a steady beat, which, ironically, is what you are being paid to do. Your bandmates aren't computers and the flow of the song is paramount.
@@richiet3841 my man. the fact that you think the band can't keep time on their own and that they use it as a "crutch" demonstrates that you have no clue what you're talking about. They are not "a crutch to keep a steady beat". The drummer can very clearly keep a steady beat. It's purely meant to keep the entire show in sync. Fun fact, all of your favorite albums were recorded with a click track. You can go on about "flow" or whatever all you want but you're not actually saying anything.
I've played drums 25 years and never once used a metronome I've always watched the body movements of the guitarist to know fthe placement of fills and when to come back in and the bassist for the timing of you can read your band mates who need a metronome
Until you play with a drummer who can’t keep the tempo. Then the click is a lifesaver if you don’t want the train to go off the rails in front of the congregation.
Lol then there’s me, who’s church doesn’t even “need” a click… I think they just do that so they have an excuse for every time the timing is off :/ Usually me (drummer) who’s the blame…
