Hey guys,
My church just started a "combined" worship service where we do half contemporary songs and half hymns.
I've been playing the contemporary songs for a few years so I'm quite comfortable with them, but I need help figuring out what to play for the hymns.
I've tried brushes, but they don't fit with all the songs, my fall to rock beats sound horrible.
I've tried switching to having the snare beats on 1 &3 but more then just being really awkward for me to play, it doesn't sound good. And niether does 2&4!
My next approach is going to be more jazzy Stylisticly, keep time on the ride/hi-hat and just try to do some comping with my left hand, But I wanna know if anyone has other ideas.
