Coresound Pads are my favorite pads on the market. They are simply unbeatable. There are a lot of pad loops out there, but nothing comes close to the quality, diversity, and ease of use that Coresound provides.
Every pad Coresound has created sounds stellar. The original bundles used in thousands of churches worldwide are second to none, and their NEW pads, bumper music, and other products meet that very same level of quality.
What I love most about Coresound is their brand new app, Pads Live,which you can find at padslive.com. And big announcement – Pads Live is now available on both iOS AND ANDROID! That’s right – the Android version is HERE. So no matter what device you have, you can have the best sounding pads with you in any situation! Purchase pads from right within the app, get seamless crossfading, so many textures, all 12 keys, and so much more.
Go over to coresoundpads.com and use the promo code BEYONDSUNDAY to get 20% off your purchase. Purchasing at coresoundpads.comis the place to redeem your promo code, and any purchase on their site WILL unlock those same pads in the Pads Live app as well. Coresoundpads.com, promo code BEYONDSUNDAY.

If you’re a musician, you know there’s nothing like a well built, inspiring instrument. A great instrument is an inspiration itself, beyond just the functionality and playability. That’s why it’s important to have an instrument that inspires you and holds up to your active lifestyle.
Let me introduce you to Zamar Instruments. Zamar builds custom guitars that are absolutely beautiful, but that also play and sound amazing. Zamar is an amazing small business, passionate about offering individualized attention to each instrument and client for a second-to-none experience. And for you Hebrew wizards out there, Zamar is an Old Testament word for praising the Lord on a stringed instrument.
All the guitars from Zamar are hand built but there is also the option of a custom built guitar that you design from the ground up. Head on over to zamarinstruments.com and mention the Beyond Sunday podcast to get 15% off your guitar. Or just shoot an email to nathan@zamarinstruments.com.
