“Every stroke the Lord lays on them with His punishing club will be to the music of timbrels (drums) and harps, as he fights them in battle with the blows of his arm”
(Isaiah 30:32)
Can you hear the sound of the drums in heaven? To worship with drums and instruments is about creating and releasing sound. Sounds coming from the hearts of worshipers who long to be aligned with heaven to release God’s will on earth. Being a worship drummer in a worship team is not about “just playing” the drums. You are releasing something in the spiritual realm with your drumming. If you are aligning your heart with heaven and listening for the Holy Spirit, you can actually be a part of releasing God’s will on earth! The drums have a tremendous impact and authority, and a worship drummer should definitely focus on both musical skills and the spiritual dimension of playing worship.
This course is about worship and the prophetic on drums. Are you interested in learning more about the power and authority of the drums and how you can release the sound of heaven and change atmospheres through your drumming? Do you want to know more about the prophetic dimension in worship and what Scripture say about the drums and instruments? Do you want to grow as a prophetic drummer and develop your musical skills at the same time? Do you want to learn more about what worship in heaven looks like, the power of worship, the importance of the ethnic instruments and sounds and how worship, sound and science are connected?
This course will take you on a journey, which also explores another dimension of the prophetic: how the history of generations is affecting us today. The prophetic is not only about the future, it is also connected to the past (Ec. 3:15). The sound of old reverberates through time from the worship and prayers of our ancestors, and their actions are still affecting us today for good and bad. (Rev. 7:8) Digging up the old wells of revival and tearing down spiritual strongholds through the ministry of reconciliation is also an important part of our ministry as worshipers, musicians and disciples of Jesus. Do you want to find out more about how you can be a part of that ministry?
Although the drums are the main focus in this course you can still benefit a lot from this material even if you are not a drummer. That’s why we have made it possible for you to buy a smaller package which contains the theological topics only: “Biblical foundation for the prophetic on instruments”. If you are not a drummer, but you are interested in this topic, check it out by reading more about it in the course description.
The MASTER course contains 6 levels (or chapters) with 71 video teachings in total. PDF’s are available as well.
The full package contains 3 main sections:
-Theological teachings which will give you a solid biblical foundation, including stories and testimonies from real life.
-Practical teachings which cover many important topics in regard to being a drummer in a worship team as well as the practical, musical and spiritual preparations you need to consider before you go on stage.
-The “drumming exercises” where Anne-Linda specifically demonstrates many of her “signature” grooves and other concepts that she finds useful in worship drumming, especially when playing prophetically. There is no “recipe” for how to play prophetically on the drums, but there are some concepts that will help you to develop a “ toolbox” or a library of grooves and ideas that seems to work well in a spontaneous flow, but you can also pull these ideas out in any setting you’re playing in. You will learn how you can build grooves and fills from sticking patterns (rudiments) and linear concepts (hand and foot combinations).
You can also purchase the “drumming exercises” part of this course on their own if you don't want to do this full course. In that case, check out the "Drum exercises for prophetic drummers"pack. Its content is identical with the content of the "Drumming exercises" in this course, so if you want to know more details, you will find a more thorough description there. If you are buying only a part of this main course, you can always come back and purchase the full course later.
