Playing music in your local church is one of the best and fastest ways to progress as a drummer. The church provides a (hopefully) loving, low-risk environment for a drummer to learn how to fit in and interact with other musicians.

In that time, I’ve noticed a few rhythms and grooves that consistently show up in a lot of church songs today. If you are wanting to play in church or wanting to help the drummer at your church, these grooves will be a good starting point
