It’s a wonderful day to share my experiences of being an a instrumentalist.
I’m a drummer in a praise and worship team for almost a year now. I decided to learn drums and I gained knowledge and to learned how to play it. After 3 months, my mentor told me that we will play as a team in a special event.
That was the beginning of my journey. After that, I’ve entered the worship team of In The Zion. It was challenging for me because every Sunday we have a different kind of song that we need to study.
This thing gave was another important experience to my life. This is one of my passions that have been built.
Even so, I encountered many kinds of struggle, like when my family didn’t want me. I once cried because my leader was angry to me because of one song that didn’t get to make it. Time management was challenging between school, house and practice.
Honestly, playing drums was a great opportunity to me to grow. And through this, my perspective in life was changed. It became wider. And no matter what happens and even though many struggles will come… I will still continue my passion to play.
school, life, and all that jazz
