I need a persona.
I know it isn't (or shouldn't) be the goal of any worship band member to distract focus. We are commanded to bring people closer to the Spirit of God and align the proper environment for the Word to be delivered. That isn't why I want a persona. The thing is, I want a niche. I dress normally when I play. I have to take my glasses off though, because honestly, who can really rock with glasses? Anyway, I was over on the Relevant magazine website checking out their articles and the video for How He Loves by John Mark McMillan came up.His drummer wears a beanie. I am not aware if this is all the time, or just a music video thing, but I want my "beanie." Paul McCartney's drummer is a 300+ pound bald Asian man who can wail. The drummer for Death Cab wears a close buzz cut, glasses and flannel. Obviously my above statement about rocking with glasses is null and void. But, what's my beanie? Tommy (our singer) has a beard, Adam (our bassist/whatever is needed) has cool hats and Toms shoes, Jeremiah (back-up vocals) looks like a movie star, and Carl (Electric guitar) is freakishly tall with a freakishly full beard as well. Me, I'm pudgy and have mostly triplet based closing fills. Is that my beanie? I hope not. How boring.
