I
Secular or Christian. Who do you enjoy the most? Or..if you are a musician (like myself) what musician has blessed/influenced you most on the instrument you play???
For me,I am/was a drummer. I originally wanted to be a guitar player when I was a kid. I was unfortunately the most impatient person ever & wanted overnight to be as good as the guitar players I was listening to at the time. (Randy Rhodes,Mick Mars,Carlos Cavazo,Akiria Takasaki)...that was so not happening! A friend of mine brought over 2 albums that changed my life forever. The 1st (self titled) Metal Church album & Deliver Us by Warlord. Well listening to those 2 drummers (Kirk Arrington & Mark S. Zonder) blew my mind. I knew I had to be a drummer. Drumming came much easier for me as well. There wasn't so much thought into it...it just flowed out of me. I could hear someone play something & visualize it in my mind & copy it. I still to this day can barely read drum tab,but if you let me hear a track a few times I can play it.
I always loved jazz music too for the odd syncopation.
