Here Again [with MD cues] - Live Drums | Elevation Worship Featuring Luke Anderson 

That's nashville numbering correct?

Correct. That way, the musicians are not relying solely on conventional notes, but if they know all the notes and scales by heart and mind, the Nashville Number System makes it super effective to do changes quickly, especially if it's another singer performing the song other than the main one.

@Anthony Loma haha, thought the same thing. we've always used numbers to represent chords built on the scale degrees. but the nashville peeps can call it what they want lol

@@jonathancole3340 Well technically Nashville developed it in the 50s and its basically a number notation of scale degrees. But if you have some knowledge of music theory this catches on pretty quickly and is helpful for band communication in a worship context.

Yeah, it's super simple not a big thing. @_@

thanks for sharing!

True. True. Got me at the edge of my seat!

What is MD?

@@steelcarnivore8390 Music Director

@Whatever Vids, Yeah, true, indeed .

thanks man!

Start at 9min in

i didnt understand this

@@ObpcAgropol they are the numbers of the chords. So he calls them and the band all play them together

@@ObpcAgropol Nashville Numbering System, used historically and most commonly in recording studios. Each Number corresponds to a note which is all decided ahead of time. So here's an example: 1/A, 2/B, 3/C and so on from 1-7 let's say...if he say's "3 6 7.......1 7 4" it would translate to "C F G.....A G D". The reason it's so much easier for this setting (and in recording) is if you have like A minor or major, flats or sharps - instead of saying the whole note sequence you can designate B sharp as 1, C as 2, D minor as 3 and save time by saying the numbers. Having incredible musicians, well-trained and prepared and great chemistry can lead to awesome spontaneity!

this is very nice! thank you to share this. i Will use here in Brazil!

Engineer on the console, on point... \m/

I agree! ❤️❤️❤️

They change the way the song is played on the fly - just shows how difficult the worship leaders are to please! :P

Now you know ☺️

ive seen dan mcmurray bash one in front of me in td garden, sounded great.. not as bad as you think in a worship context

It’s the only reason I bought one

Fat one

It's sampled

Little Boy Lebberz actually it isn’t. I listened to their podcast it’s actually the snare. How ever he tune and mix it is pretty consistent but it isn’t a sample. And big rooms also contribute to the big sound. It is a Ludwig raw brass snare drum 14x6.5. All the videos I’ve looked up on this snare it just sounds amazing I’m just a Ludwig guy their snares have a certain sound to them I can’t explain

@@calebhoare6169 Like Chief said, it's definitely not sampled. If I remember correctly, the triggers are used to trigger gates.

@@chiefwarrior2567 A 6.5 deep snare won't sound that deep man, To get low like this you need atleast an 8 inch deep snare! and a wider snare strap aswell.

haha best

they have a triggering system that triggers samples

Luis Nunez it’s not all triggers, his kit isn’t triggered for this tour. he doesn’t have a roland spdsx or a module controlling any triggers.

nah.. it's a custom mix that the guys at Elevation made for us

Hadn't noticed that. Was he really signaling the drummer or someone else? Does seem like a signaling but the follow up of the band kept more or less the same

Steven Shauf I have been a worship drummer for 15 years. My church recently started using tracks and such in the last 2 years. We don’t do any kind of calling out of chords ect at this point. However, at first some found vocal queues and click ect distracting. What we found a couple years later is it keeps everyone so much more tight. Our bass player told me when we started doing this stuff and people were complaining about the distraction that it is not OUR job to worship on Sunday mornings. Our job is to BRING the congregation to worship. If we happen to be able to worship in the process that is awesome! However, we should be feeding ourselves through the week with worship so we can pour out from our full cup to the congregation. I look at it as a sacrifice for serving our Lord. I cherish the Sunday’s now that I don’t play so I can worship. But I still love playing as well for different reasons. It’s fulfilling to me to know I’m helping God bring folks to worship. Just some thoughts!

Kurt Hermann thanks for your thoughts. I really appreciate them. We’re headed toward clicks and tracks at my church and your own experience and perspective on the sacrifice of worship are great things to think over.

Keep in mind a couple of things specifically as the it relates to tracks and MDs with live instruction...Elevation is a multi campus with all campuses (each with live band) being led from the main campus (or so I’ve been told). There would be no easy way to coordinate all bands to take simultaneous queuing about what’s happening live at the main campus without some live direction. Also once you go to a backing tracks and click...the only way to have “spontaneous” moments would be to have someone calling the diversion from the programmed track. The church I play for uses tracks w/ programmed click and queues, but no live changes. I used to be opposed to playing to backing tracks, but after several years with tracks I barely notice them while I’m playing...unless there is some auxiliary percussion part playing something differently than what I’ve worked out for the kit. I normally request that extra percussion parts be taken out. That said without the tracks on weeks where we didn’t have a keyboard in rotation (which happens from time to time) we wouldn’t sound nearly as full...it just helps with consistency...

Yes. They are playing to a click set at 68.

Unicorn Squad 2:39 haha

ikr, i repeated that part to check if it was my speaker lmao

Sounds like a little mic glitch, heard it a few times. Sounds awesome none the less

Those are Shy Baffles! Keeps the cymbal bleed out of the vocal mics.

There it is again at 7:34! Fastest cymbal blast at 6:17! Fastest audience member clap at 5:01! lol ;)

Lol. Sounds like a glitch to me

@@1Steph what do you mean? It's just the simultaneous execution of the body muscles to produce sound this fast!

should be a 20" Dark crash

Paul, I think this depends on the individual group. It is a good question, but..I'm not really sure what the guy on the mic is talking about...at my church, we don't even run a click track...but let me say, I believe the most important thing is: connect with the group you are a part of, whatever ministry, and even LOVE those around you (as Jesus said, "by this will all men know"...), AND, pray the Holy Ghost for your group and your time, in the impact of it (we MUST decrease--he MUST increase). Bless, in Jesus name

Someone else here mentioned the "Nashville numbers system" though

Idk about this Nashville system everyone in the comments is talking about. But it's just simple music theory. The idea is that just like how you can describe a scale as "do re mi fa ..." And you can describe it as "A B C D...", You can also describe it as "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8". I MD at my church so the musicians know that if we are in the key of C, and I scream 6, that the next chord they should play is the 6th degree of the scale(A minor). If I say 1, then they play the first degree of the scale which is C.

Great question!! I actually have the same exact audio, but with click. I will check to see.

MD calls chord changes, band watches drummer and matches hits/chord changes. Click really becomes irrelevant during worship flow

Drummer leads during that moment. The number of chord changes called by the MD determines the number of hits.

Shy baffles

ludwig

Alandiaz Mckinnie those are the chords for the key that they’re in. for example, the “one” chord in the key of G is Gmaj, the “six” chord in key of G is Em

@@monkeyepicify ah, makes sense that my drummer only brain couldn't figure this out. Thanks for clarifying!
