Set-up Of The Month May 2015

John Homan, percussionist at New Creation Fellowship in Granger, Indiana sent a photo of a recent set-up along with some comments:

The drum configuration changes from time to time, but recently I added two djembes and a toca ashiko along with the 20" Brazilian marching drum (Surdo).

I'm trying to bring a bigger low end sound for our more tribal songs

 

 

The cymbal set-up is a Meinl hand splash and a Stagg medium crash which I use mainly for swells.

 

Everything else is pretty standard--shakers, tambourines, cowbells, triangles and claves.

Gateway Live Recording #4

Wow !   This past Friday night (May 15), Gateway Worship recorded fourteen songs during a live worship service. The album is scheduled for release in fall of 2015 on the Fair Trade label.  My colleagues in the band and I have been rehearsing long hours in preparation for the event.  You will hear a good amount of striking and shaking on the recording.  Josh Alltop was in the drum set position, I played percussion, and a couple of electric guitar players were recruited to play concert bass drums on one song--watch for it on the DVD.

This photo was taken during one of the final rehearsals by Abrahanny Rodriguez  www.abrahanny.com.

Gateway Worship Live Recording Post #2

Join us for an amazing night on Friday 5.15.15 at 7:00 PM as Gateway Worship takes over the Southlake Campus for the Live Recording of their next worship release.

For the past 3 years our Gateway Worship pastors and worship team have been praying, watching and waiting on the Lord for what the next live recording project would be. Excited to share the things that God has spoken, this live recording will be a moment in time where we come together and seek to hear the heart of God with no restraint.
Come and be a part of this amazing night that will capture the worship experience that is Gateway Church and be prepared for what the fullness of praise and worship can bring.
This brand-new live worship album from Gateway Worship will release in October and will be filled with great songs including Let The Heavens Open, Walls, Grace That Won’t Let Go, You Stand, and many more. We want everyone that desires a night of praise and worship with no limits to come ready to see that WALLS are comin’ down.
