From Church Drummer to Arena Tours: What I Wish Every Worship Drummer Knew w/ Daniel Jones
What does it really take to grow from playing in the local church to touring arenas with some of the biggest names in Christian music?
Daniel Jones has walked that exact journey. Over the past 10 years, he's played drums for For King & Country, Brooke Ligertwood, Rend Collective, David Leonard, JUDAH., and Andrew Ripp.
In this conversation, Daniel gets brutally honest about the lessons he learned the hard way - from dealing with the pressure of arena stages to discovering what consistency really means, from learning to trust his teammates to finding the balance between confidence and ego.
If you've ever felt like you're not ready for the next level, or struggled with self-doubt about your playing, this episode will give you the roadmap Daniel wishes he'd had starting out.
What You'll Learn:
-
Why "you don't walk into a role ready to go - you gotta grow in it"
-
The difference between playing in church vs. playing arenas (and what it taught him about consistency)
-
How to identify what you need to work on without destroying your confidence in the process
Whether you're playing in a church or dreaming of bigger stages, Daniel's journey will show you exactly what to focus on and how to grow in your craft without losing yourself in the process.
