Seven Drum Patterns In P&W

Only seven drum patterns are required to play every P&W song in CCLI’s Top 100. Click HERE.

There are so many songs in contemporary worship, a drummer might think it’s impossible to learn them all. Carl Albrecht has taken on this monstrous task in order to show you how to prepare for the grooves of worship. After analyzing the top 100 CCLI Worship songs, Carl found that there are only “seven”, essential types of drum patterns used in modern worship.

I wonder how many drum patterns appear in the Top 100 Southern Gospel songs.

Having played for two years in a P&W church band on drums, I can vouch for this. I don’t think I ever used more than four patters, actually – straight rock, half-time uptempo, power ballad, and syncopated rock. Maybe one or two march tempo’s, but they were rare.

No, SG is a lot more complex than that. Listen to Doug Riley’s drum tracks, for example.
