26 Jul 2024 | Episode 045 - Daniel Sauls on Sampling Music, Touring, and Being Creative with Lauren Daigle | 00:53:57 | |
🎤 📷 🎥 GET OUR GEAR LISThttps://worshipdrummer.ck.page/gear Join us for an exciting conversation with Daniel Sauls, who shares his fascinating journey from serving steaks in Nashville to touring with Lauren Daigle. Daniel's unique role in the band combines DJing with live sampling using Ableton, allowing him to perform strings, percussion, and other album elements live on stage. We explore the significance of humanizing live performances, contrasting his dynamic approach with the more traditional method of playing along to pre-recorded stems, and how this aligns with Lauren's vision for a more organic concert experience. In our discussion on musical diversity and collaboration, Daniel and Jon delve into the creative process behind some of the band's most sample-heavy tracks. We discuss the importance of feel in music, especially from a drummer's perspective, and how it influences the performance of various elements. We also talk about the collaborative writing process for the song "You're All I'll Take With Me" from the new album, inspired by 70s funk and live band arrangements. Anecdotes about writing sessions during the pandemic, including unique locations like a hockey locker room, add a personal touch to our conversation. Balancing life on the road is another key theme as we explore the challenges and rewards of touring. Daniel shares his strategies for maintaining personal and professional balance, the importance of family connections, and self-care practices. We also discuss the emotional impact of live music performances, particularly how Lauren's shows blend worship and mainstream elements to create a powerful sense of community. The episode concludes with insights into continuous self-challenge and maintaining a heart towards God, offering a holistic view of life as a musician dedicated to both personal growth and spiritual connection.

10 Mar 2017 | Episode 014 - Payden Hilliard (Leeland) on Finding and Knowing Your Identity | 01:10:06 | |
Payden Hilliard - Leeland
The first time I met Payden in person was in February. We were both at the Ryman in Nashville to celebrate The Belonging & Co's third birthday. We had already previously talked about recording an episode together, but that night I asked him what he's most passionate about and without batting an eyelash he answered, "Finding and knowing your identity!" We tackle the topic in this episode by walking you through Payden's personal journey to Nashville, which was riddled with ups and downs. Listen to how he discovered and defines his true identity, and observe how it is not even tied to what he actually does as a drummer.
[tweet_box design="default"]Learning when to play and when not to play has been a big game-changer for me.[/tweet_box] In this Episode
I’m scrubbing toilets right now, but You see me, and You love me! “If I were here to scrub these toilets for the rest of my life, and that’s all I did, I could live in this moment and say thank You God that You love me and sent Your Son for me!” Jesus came to die for you, and if He never did another thing for you, that is enough! Everything else is out of the goodness of His heart. Find your peace with God and thank Him no matter what season you’re in There are seasons in life, and it’s cool to know that it’s going to eventually change! If you’re having alone time with God, He will download a lot of wisdom to you. Learning when to play and when not to play has been a big game-changer for me.

Using the Roland SPD-SX in Worship _______ In 2015 I sat backstage and had my first opportunity to watch Jen Ledger (Skillet) play! She played with instensity, precision, and power and I was never the same again! In episode 022, Jen unpacks her journey to becoming Skillet's drummer at the age of 18, and this episode is full of wisdom! Get your note-taking device of choice ready as we get into it here! In this Episode
“John Cooper really didn’t want me to try out.” “The one thing I was sure of is that He would not be using me and my drumming because it was the thing that I felt the weakest at.” “Even in my work with Skillet, It’s my weakness [drumming] - the one thing I thought He couldn’t use about me, that has become the very thing that He’s displayed His glory through!” “It felt so clear to me that this has nothing to do with me and everything to do with Him lining things up.”
"If you’re faithful with the little/mundane, God can open and trust you with a lot." "So many place their identity in drumming, music, and songwriting. We often mix up the calling of God with our own dreams and desires. But a healthy reminder is that those who lose their lives, find their lives." “Music can be an idol for people - it can get mixed up because you can feel like your doing it for God.” “I’m trying to be someone that has too much faith, rather than too little.” “How do you do two bands at once? I don’t know, but God does!” _______ GET OUR FREE ONLINE TRAINING: Using the Roland SPD-SX in Worship | |||
