The drummer is the “bus driver” for the band. Setting the right tempo for a song is extremely vital for the entire band to follow. This is the job of a drummer in any band. [more]
What kind of instrumentation should be on my loop?
It's totally up to you! Most submissions are either accompaniment loops or backing tracks.
-
Backing tracks usually have parts considered 'core' instruments. These will have bass, full drums, keys, guitars, etc. and are used to fill in for missing band members or even for a solo vocal instead of a band.
- Accompaniment loops tend to focus on the 'bonus instruments' and will add parts found in the original recordings that are not easily played or recreated by a typical worship band. These may have core parts, but are not designed to replace band members but rather accompany them.
