We recently had the opportunity to chat with pro worshipdrummer Carl Albrecht (Twitter | Facebook). Carl plays drum for Paul Baloche and various other artists and has decades of experience in the Christian music world. We consider Carl to be a pioneer in the worshipdrumming movement.
In part 1 of our interview hear Carl’s response to these questions/topcs:
- Where did you grow up
- Who were your spiritual mentors
- Who were your initial drum teachers
- How has your playing evolved with the music through the years.
- What challenges come with the modern worship movement?
- The blessing and challenge of a christian drummer who plays secular music
GREAT INTERVIEW! I’ve heard Carl’s drumming though out the years on several different albums and it’s great to put a face and voice with the music. Carl’s perspective is 100% spot -on, drummers that are Christians playing in “secular” bands need to be prayed up and ready for battle when out on the road, I’ve seen too many musicians go down that road only to find out later they have totally turned their back on their faith. Thank you for the great interview, I will definitely share this!
I remember seeing Carl on the Paul Baloche Worship Team Workshop. Solid drummer. I like watching your stuff!
