I’ve been in Nacogdoches for a few months now and it’s quite obvious – this college town needs a bit more live music. Wouldn’t you agree? Being the gentlemen and guitarist that I am, I’ve taken it upon myself to gather a few of my closest comrades, both old and new, to throw a funky little shindig down at Java Jacks next Saturday.

Who is Invited?

If you’re reading this – you’re invited. But, since I’m the new dude in town, I’m really hoping you’ll help me out and tell your friends about this musical get-together. If you live in the Nacogdoches area, I’d be grateful if you’d upload this show flyer as your Facebook cover image to get the word out to your local pals.

How Much Will it Cost?

Absolutely nothing. No – seriously. It takes a ton of effort to put a live music event together, but me and my buddies want to put on a show for you, so consider it a freebie this time. Now, if you’d like to throw some change in a bucket set up by the door, it’s going to help fill gas tanks for those heading in from out of town to play the show with us. Have you seen the price at the pump lately? Scrounge under the couch cushions  on your way out the door and spare some spare, okay?

Who Will Be Playing?

Originally, my good friend, Pat with The Cries Of, wanted to set this thing up with me. He recommended a guy named Dustin Prinz to share the night with us. A local friend, Emily, also mentioned a buddy of her’s, Zach Maberry, that was gearing up for a tour, so she thought he’d be a good fit for the lineup. Pat had to bail last minute, but the rest of the crew is ready to rock and roll. It’s going to be laid back and fun, and the venue will be a cool place to host live music.

What Time Does This Thing Go Down?

We’ll open the doors at around 6:30PM on Saturday, May 19th at Java Jacks in Nacogdoches. Show is scheduled to start around 7:00PM. We plan on wrapping up around 9:00PM. It’s going to be about two hours of music – for free. What else could you want?

Don’t forget – if you’re coming, I’d be quite honored if you’d download the show flyer and upload it as your Facebook cover image. I want to see you and your friends at Java Jacks next Saturday. Nacogdoches is a small town – don’t make me come and find you.

Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.

Christ Center – the Surrender Sound

¹⁶ Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them, nor any scorching heat. ¹⁷ For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. – Revelation 7:16-17 (NIV)

This song is dedicated to all the leaders out there who are tired, confused, hurting and who need to hear from the Lord. It’s for those who have big decisions to make in the near future, and those who might feel worthless. Come to the Water and thirst no more, and look to the Father, for He keeps us strong. God has a plan for you – don’t listen to the lies of defeat. Christ has risen for the dead trampling over death by death.

Water

verse1
The Greatness of God is worthy to be praised.
The mercy of God is worthy to be praised.
God and God alone is worthy to be praised.

bridge
For the Lamb of God is at the center of it all.
The Shepherd of man will lead us all.

chorus
Come to the water and thirst no more.
Look to the Father, He keeps us strong.
His greatness and power is worthy to be praised.

verse2
God Wipes away every tear from our eyes.
He wipes away ever fear in our heart.
He is holy and just a strong tower that we lean on daily.

Water – the Surrender sound

It’s becoming “the talk” of many worship blogs and podcasts out there, and it always tends to make folks a little squeamish for some reason. It’s as common a conversation as the birds and the bees, and interestingly enough, folks get pretty passionate about their stance on the matter..

I’m a drummer and percussionist, so solid timekeeping and tight groove are my bread and butter, so it certainly makes sense for me to build my arsenal of tools to accomplish that. And – that takes us to the topic at hand. I think you guys are ready for “the talk”…

“Metronome” isn’t a dirty word

I started working with clicks about five years ago, but really embraced them in late 2008 when the church I was attending did a production of Andrew Peterson’s, “Behold the Lamb of God”. With crazy arrangements, tons of intricate parts, less-than-optimal monitoring and plenty of loops, I made the push for adoption of the click on-stage. It was a mess at first, no lie, but we survived, and even a few years removed from that particular team, I can still say their tempo and groove is impressive.

I’m not going to ramble off a list of reasons why you and your team should be using a click because, honestly, I don’t know/believe every team should be using one. I do, however, think every single drummer out there owes it to their team to add a metronome to their stick bag. Why?

Here’s why I’m carrying a click with me at all times.

Clicks promote solid timekeeping

My tempo isn’t wildly erratic, but it teeters a few BPMs every now and again. Since live music inherently “breathes”, I know that tempo may run amuck on stage as-is, and that’s why I’m the first guy to pop a click into the mix to help enforce a consistent tempo.

I’m not a tempo tyrant, I promise. I know there are situations where perfection is necessary – a studio cutting drum tracks would certainly be one – so maybe the live setting is an instance where we could slack up a little on time? Sure – let the music flow a bit onstage, it’s going to anyway, but have a metronome there to let you know where the boundaries are. Cattle roam the fields freely – but still have a fence up to keep them confined. Use the metronome as a guide, but don’t be afraid to work around it, too.

Clicks help build groove

Working with a metronome at my side for a while now, my groove has gotten much tighter. I hear a bar or two of the beeps and boops from the metronome, and then it starts sitting back further and further in my mind – and now I’m clueing into the other guys onstage. That’s where the click really shines for me.

Maybe it’s just me – or you’d admit this, too – but I focus so intently on delivering solid tempo, at times I think I don’t listen to the other elements of the mix that really matter. And – thats’ where groove falters. Groove is that special place where you really “feel” the music. It’s this captivating, magical force that, when it exists, you know it. Funny, too, because when it isn’t there – it’s just as noticeable.

Clicks allow drummers, and entire bands, to relax and establish groove. It’s all about locking into one another. When I’m consumed less with the matter of whether I’m staying on tempo – and focus more on my bandmates – groove happens.

Clicks keep a set tidy

Have you ever rehearsed a song at one tempo – only to have your drummer take it up to light-speed during the set? Or have you started transitioning between two songs – and completely blanked on the speed of the next song, completely causing a pileup as you make the switch? We like to poke fun and chuckle at those funny capo disaster videos – but our tempo troubles cause just as much ruckus.

I’ve definitely been called a “weirdo” for this, but I love, love, love to rehearse – especially as a team. I’ve worked with churches that, on any given Sunday, they may rehearse a few hours for a five or six song set, which sounds perfect to me. But – back to Earth, where reality begins to settle in – we don’t all have three or four hours to jam around with the praise team, and that’s where I think a click really helps teams. It subtly guides the team through rehearsal, and then continues to be of assistance as you lead the set on Sunday morning. Tempo, then, doesn’t need to be this point of frustration on a limited timetable – and the set stays tidy and on-time.

You know the funny thing that happens, though? After working with a click for a few months, I’d say about six months or so, your team’s tempo will inevitably improve, even without the metronome clickity-clacking the tempo for them. And – again – your sets get tidier and tighter. Fewer shifting and less awkwardness while transitioning.

Clicks are freeing

And – they really are. Sure, the metronome could be considered a safety net and, for many, it is. But, when it comes to providing solid timekeeping and groove for my team, I’d rather be certain that I’m dead-on with my tempo, and if that means using a click to be absolutely certain of it, then you better believe I’ll do it.

The interesting thing, though, is that folks fight the click because they feel like it’s too constricting or it limits their creativity. But, if tempo can slowly become a point of less anxiety or frustration during a song, you can then be freed up to move around the meter and get creative. That’s what has happened for me – my drum fills are much more creative and functional now because of the click’s ability to free my mind up during the set. It’s important to not equate this with laziness, either, because solid timekeeping is still a juggling act with five or six other musicians on stage. I’ve seen electric guitarists that were fearful of a metronome suddenly grasp delay much more fully because, now that there’s a guide to work alongside and the team is marching to the same beat, the delay doesn’t get out of control and too messy. That’s powerful, guys.

What about you – have you or your praise team brought a click into the mix on Sunday mornings? What have you observed as a result of this move? What tips would you have for folks getting started with clicks? Give us a moment and share your thoughts in the comments section.

As I’ve settled into the new digs at Grace Bible Church, I’ve had the honor and pleasure to work with the host of interns serving the college ministry, Crosspoint. It’s amazing how Grace is so committed to discipling leaders and growing up the future of the Church – and I’m certainly all about that.

This song, Dance in the Love, came from my interactions with the interns here at Grace Bible. It was written to be an encouragement to them and Believers everywhere, that we are all sinners, but despite the things we say and do, we are reconciled by grace through the Cross, and have been set free by the Lord. We must pray for the Lord to come and move in our Church, in our community and in people’s lives.

This is my prayer – I pray that it will be yours, too.

I’m quite scatterbrained with my music catalog – and by that I mean, I listen to many records once and get bored rather quickly. It makes me a bit of a music collector, but I always seem to have something to fit my mood at the moment.

So, when I find a record that spins a few times, let alone a few years later, it certainly must be something outstanding. And – that’s the point of this post.

As a drummer, and worship leader, it really takes a lot to knock my socks off because, we could probably all acknowledge, there’s not a ton of stuff out there that tows the line of being creative, musically-proficient and overflowing with Truth. You may get one or two of those – but rarely the combination. Can you think of an album or two that strikes that fine balance? Share it in the comments section below – and check out a few of these releases, as well.

Aaron Keyes – Because

I can remember a time before drum loops and lacquered production, Aaron Keyes released one of the most remarkable worship records that I’d heard. “Because” had powerful tunes that resonated with songs about God’s greatness and our response as worshipers. Not only was it lyrically sound, but the musicianship was insane. One aspect of the record that I really appreciated was the seamless transition between most of the songs on the record – it really helped me grasp, even as a drummer, the notion of flow and texture through points where the set moves and breathes. And – did I mention the killer musicianship? Good golly!!!

Some standout tracks include: “Lifted Hands”, “Miracles”, “You Deserve the Glory” and his arrangement of “It is Well”.

Get “Because” on iTunes

Todd Wright – All the Freed

A bit of disclosure here – Todd Wright may be one of my better friends in this world, mainly because I return his phone calls. I’ve seen most, if not all, of these songs transformed from anthems of joy and praise within congregations across the state into beautifully produced gems that will, no doubt, play out the same in other churches. It’s always been a blessing to play drums alongside Todd – and I’m certain you’ll enjoy these tunes as much as I do.

“All the Freed”, as you’ll quickly discover, is a collection of songs from the local church, for the local church. I just don’t know how common that is anymore – really. These songs speak to many seasons of my life, as it feels like Todd covered the spectrum of conditions the Believing heart may find itself. “All the Freed”, the record, sings of giving God glory for His great mercy and love. The track, “let it Be”, rings with the notion of how, even in seasons of grief and uncertainty, we still must surrender to and rest in the sovereignty of our loving and faithful King.

The players on this record impressed me – and helped me grow tremendously. It was an honor to master their parts as we’ve played these songs on the road through the years. I still get chills hearing Forrest Layton’s electric guitar tone – that guy is a beast. John Simmons aced the drumming and percussion work – just phenomenal. Every track is drenched with professionalism and well-crafted songwriting. I’m certainly proud to call you friend, Todd, and beam every time I think of this record.

A few standout tracks include: “King of Mercy”, “Like the Sun”, “Align” and “I Am Glad”.

Paul Baloche – Offering of Worship

I’m not a huge fan of live worship CDs – and heres’ why. It’s super rare, and often implausible, that many teams will render the same results as heard in monstrous auditoriums with layers upon layers of overdubbing. I don’t know if “Offering of Worship” is laden with the degree of production found in most mainstream worship records these days, but I’ve seen Paul Baloche masterfully replicate these songs in various churches across the state with his first-class band at his side, and they feel identical to what I’m hearing each and every time I listen to it. And – not only that – I’ve seen teams, even youth bands, take these songs and share them with the Church. The songs are comfortable, attainable, fresh and brimming with Truth. But isn’t that what we’ve come to expect from Paul through the years?

The record opens with the funky loop of “Arise”, which, aside from serving as a phenomenal call to worship, is an invitation for the Lord to be enthroned by the praises that we offer. Songs like “All the Earth Will Sing Your Praises” tell of the amazing sacrifice Jesus made at the Cross, while the tune, “Without You”, acknowledges “we are nothing” without the Lord’s grace and provision.

I’ve had a “drummer crush” on Carl Albrecht since the first moment I heard his work. He’s, hands down, one of my favorites – even amongst the secular releases that fill my iPod. Paul’s band is ridiculously talented – and it’s not because of copious overdubs and auto-tune. These guys just rock, and as a result, equip and inspire. Thanks, Paul, for all that you do for the Kingdom – and other guys, like me, serving the local church.

A few standouts include: “Offering”, “You Are the One” and “Taste and See”.

Vineyard – Dwell

I remember the first time I heard this record – I was struggling with transitioning to percussion. I wanted the louder, more powerful tones of a full drum kit, but alas, this record changed all of that. Not only that – but it had me pouring myself into loops and synths in worship. This release, though it may have lacked the sheen of many big-budget CCM releases, was pushing the bounds of creativity, and many of the songs would easily fit into the hands of any praise team with no problems. Again – a live CD that would feel the same in my church. I dig that.

The record’s title track opens the experience with a 6/8 call for the Lord to “dwell in the midst of us, come and dwell in this place”, which builds slowly, but surely, to a climactic explosion of drum tones and expressiveness. I’ve done many of these songs live, including “Love Me Like You Do”, “More than Ever” and “You So Loved the World”, and they all tend to play out exactly as they did on the record. One of my favorite aspects about the record is that it ships with a DVD, which has tons and tons of resources for each and every member of the team. I particularly enjoyed seeing the percussionists setup, as he used a ton of drums to create tone and texture – something that inspired me to really dig into my craft. I think you’ll find these songs to be spot-on lyrically – and the musicality to be way above average.

What do you get when you add a 20 month bundle of joy with a newborn baby? Your hands full, that’s what, and my good buddy, bandmate and creative cohort, Josh, and his wife, Whitney, just welcomed their baby boy, Weston, into the world last Sunday.

Introducing Weston Lynn Taylor

Born on March 25, 2012, at 4:30AM, Weston Lynn Taylor was born to parents Josh and Whitney Taylor in Nacogdoches, Texas. He weighed seven pounds, 13 ounces, and measured 19 1/4 inches. Both mom and baby are happy and healthy.

I couldn’t be happier for them – and know that, even with all the changes they’ve had and will have to come, the blessings of new life, laughter and love will no doubt keep them beaming with joy.

Wait – who on earth is this manning the keyboard in place of Josh Taylor? My name is Justin Romack, and if my name sounds vaguely familiar, it’s likely because I’ve worked with Josh on various projects through the years, most recently being the drummer and percussionist on Clarity, Humility and Peace. This guy is good people, and that’s why, when I heard he’d be out of the loop for a few weeks, I wanted to step in and fill his hefty blogging shoes. And – that’s why I’m here.

I’ve played drums for nearly a decade now, originally picking up a pair of sticks to play for our church’s youth band, and have had the honor and blessing to lead alongside some phenomenal worship leaders and pastors that, in many regards, have helped me become the musician and worship leader that I am today. It’s a privilege to travel and work with churches all over the place, meeting with other guys and gals that are lending their musical capacities to serve their local church and the Kingdom. That’s huge!

Over the next few weeks, I’ll stick around to chat about leading worship, music that I find useful and resourceful for teams I’ve worked with, thoughts on drumming in a church setting and probably a few other things I make up along the way. If those things perk your ears up, which I’m certain they do, tag along for the ride with me, won’t you?

Josh has made it super easy to subscribe to this blog, so take a second to do that, follow the Surrender Sound on Twitter, and then stay tuned for something from me later this week. Thanks for letting me sit and rap with you guys, and take a moment to congratulate Josh and his family in the comments section.

It was a late, and chilly, Saturday night in San Antonio Texas, and after a very busy weekend of hanging out with Journey Fellowship’s high school students, leading some rocking worship, and setting up and tearing down stages, we wanted nothing more than to jump into Taylor Rogers’ jacuzzi – only to find the mega storm from the night before fried some of the electronics to heat the tub. We were desperate – and just a tad on the frigid side – and had to take a dip. The water only stayed lukewarm (at best) for around 15 minutes. Oh – what a glorious 15 minutes those were. Sadly, we had to get out of this tepid tub – and that’s a shiver-filled story we’ll save for another day.

The Lord certainly swept through this Disciple Now weekend like a wild fire setting hearts ablaze for His Kingdom. With “fire” being the weekend’s theme, one of the songs we played often and passionately was, of course, “Fires” by Matt Redman. “How He Loves” had a strong resonance with the students, as well. What a powerful song from the Lord. Those who didn’t believe received the salvation and grace of Jesus Christ, Christ followers confessed and encouraged one another, and new and old worshipers alike rejoiced in the Spirit of the Lord.  Such a blessing to see another student ministry and community impacted by the Lord.

What an awesome thing it is to see college students I had the privilege of leading at different church retreats through the years, stepping up and stepping out to disciple students and grow up new leaders across the great state of Texas.

All you leaders out there – don’t forget this is our call, given to us by the Lord, to ensure there are even more leaders out in the world when we are no longer here. So lets continue to go out and make fishers of people.

An interesting title, right? It was the line used by the promotional speakers from a skit during last weekend’s Disciple Now at Walnut Ridge Baptist Church in Mansfield, Texas.  What was once a small group of less than 100 students has quickly doubled in size. WRBCSM students are sharing their faith and bringing friends to Christ – what an incredible thing. It’s so encouraging to watch as the Lord continues to bless Derek Mathews’ personal walk and ministry.

It was the first time to take Jeremy Petticrew and TJ Cople on the road with this ministry. I had Justin Romack on drums, as well. It was great – even from the first downbeat, these students were engaged and excited to sing to our God and King, and it set a fantastic tone for the remainder of the weekend. Some musical highlights included – “How He Loves”, “Fires”, “Our God” and “God is Faithful”.

A funny thing happen during the weekend – I got sick, much like last year’s DNOW with WRBCSM. Even though it was a measly, little sinus infection, it got me a bit frustrated, which is silly when you consider more significant trials others are facing out there. Famine? Abuse? Death? I couldn’t understand it, I just kept asking God why He’d allow this sickness to hit me again – and at the exact same place and event. Despite the slight sinus struggles, God was lifted high both nights. It was our prayer that the Lord would have us decrease as He was increased and exalted.

It was also a huge blessing to meet Casey Cease, another road warrior and pastor and speaker out of the Houston area. We were so blessed by his testimony – which you absolutely must hear sometime. It’s a powerful reminder that no matter who you are, where you’ve been and despite your circumstances, God can, and will, use you to glorify His name. Definitely hope to cross paths with Casey again very soon.

The weekend was filled with beautiful illustrations of how, despite what we do and offer, God always shows up. No matter whether we’re sick, tired, out of tune or under practiced, the Spirit still comes and fills us up, and lives are continually changed by the redemption of the Cross.

I’ve only sat on this song for a few days – and I think it came at the right time. The church I’m serving now, Grace Bible Church, is going through some changes and they are never easy nor the way we want them to be, so we must rely on Him alone. It’s also the perfect prayer for some friends of mine back in College Station.

I’m really happy with the way this song came to be, and particularly with God’s timing.

He is Good

God we will wait for you to move in us.
God we pray for you to –move–.
Patiently we will wait for you.

God we will wait for your provision
God we will wait for you to provide.
Patiently we will wait for you.

And when you move we will run to you.
And when you speak we will fall on our knees
Rejoicing and weeping we will rise to you

Singing glory to heaven. He is good.

God we will wait for you to –breathe– new life
into Your people whom you delight.
So I will wait for you to move.

he is good

So many amazing things happened in 2011. My little girl turned one. I have a baby boy on the way. I was able to make a worship album, “Clarity, Humility and Peace,” which I’ve been pleased to share with over 300 people and counting. I got a job leading worship for College students in Nacogdoches, Texas. The Lord has just been pouring out blessing upon blessing, but along this journey there has definitely been a few challenges and plenty of waiting and being patient. Ironically, God has been slowly giving me clarity, teaching me humility and showing peace.

The Lord God speaks.

God has placed a few things on my heart recently – including more passion and a pursuit of boldness. So, in response, I’m ready to push onward with this mission, thesurrendersound, He has put in front of me.

In the coming months, these are a few things you can look forward to from this ministry and blog:

• More songs. I’ll primarily share live recordings and demos, but I’m anxious to share some more full production songs, as well.
• I’m going to go a bit more in-depth with discussions about worship and what it means to be a worship leader and pastor. I’ll have plenty of experiences and stories to share through this new church and college ministry I’m serving.
• And – there’s plenty more in the works. You’ll just have to subscribe to the blog and keep checking in with me.

I can’t wait to see what the Lord has in store for this year, so I hope that you’ll join me in anticipation. You can always follow the journey on Twitter, and I’m always eager to hear from you via email, too.

Lets get back into the swing of things.
Here is a song all the way from my new office in Nacogdoches Texas, yep that’s right! I am officially employed by Grace Bible Church. What??? I know. I’m their new Worship Pastor for the college group. I’ll fill you in on all that stuff later. Here is a song Ben Nicholson sent me a while back and I never got the time to work with it. So when I was dusting off the old guitar after the move I think the right rhythm came to the song. Ben wanted more of a “barn burner with lots of clapping and stuff” and I kinda slowed it down a bit. So I hope you like it Ben!

Glory Glory Glory
Lyrics by: Ben Nicholson & Josh Taylor

Verse 1:
How mighty is the Lord of heavenly hosts.
How mighty is the living word of God.
How lowly is lamb who was slain for me
Jesus Christ the son of God I bow at your feet.

Chorus:
Glory, Glory, Glory
Hallelujah
x2

Verse 2:
I worship him who shepherds me.
His staff is strong.The path is narrow under my feet.
He is Zion which I sing.
Humbleness in the form of man rose again.

Chorus 2:
May the glory of the Lord
Give me eyes the clearly to see
He has rescues me.

Glory Glory Glory

When I started thinking about how I would share these songs, the concept of a music video continuously stood out in my mind. Good thing one of my good friends is an insanely talented filmmaker.

It’s a blessing to know BK Garceau – but an absolute honor to call him “friend”. If you haven’t seen the music video for Banner, head over to YouTube and give it a gander. And – shoot over to BK’s blog to see a behind-the-scenes breakdown of what it took to produce all this coolness.

Thanks for sharing your talents, BK!

Just stumbled onto this – and I absolutely love it. The good folks over at Bread Basket shared a fantastic review of Clarity, Humility and Peace on their blog.

Check it out – and subscribe to their blog, as well. they’re a great resource to discover new worship music that’s floating around out there. Good stuff, guys.
