I wanted to introduce myself to this wonderful community. I am from Nigeria, specifically from Lagos, and music has always been the heartbeat of my life. Drumming, in particular, has become my greatest passion.
For the past 8 years, I have been serving as a church drummer at Praise Chapel in my local community. There is something truly spiritual about creating rhythm that moves people during worship. The way drumming connects everyone in the congregation - it's like we all breathe as one when the beat is right.
I started with just a simple djembe when I was 12, practicing endlessly until my parents finally accepted this wasn't just a phase. Now I primarily play on a full drum kit at church, but I still love traditional Nigerian percussion instruments. The Ogene and talking drum remains one of my favorites to play during cultural celebrations.
Our church has a vibrant music ministry, and I've been blessed to mentor younger drummers in our community. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a young person find their rhythm and confidence behind the drums.
Anyone else here passionate about percussion or church music? I'd love to connect with fellow drummers and musicians.
