Certainly not to defend the “too modern” music. (There used to be one song on Daystar I really liked - but I’m talking 30 years ago and don’t remember the title).
That church organization had all their own “modern music”. I too, prefer the old hymnals, most of the time.
However, with drums, it’s possibly not a bad thing to have the Plexiglas enclosure. The thunder can roll just too far.
We used to jam in my bosses basement on the weekends when I was in college. My guitar was never a problem. But the drum thunder would roll out of the basement, or should I say through the basement walls (lol) across a small ravine, through the trees and keep people awake late at night.
My boss eventually agreed to stop playing after 9 p.m. So we started shutting down at 9.
It wasn’t my singing or my guitar playing (LOL). It was the drums.
1 Praise the Lord.
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.
2 Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.
3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,
4 praise him with timbrel and dancing,
praise him with the strings and pipe,
5 praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.
6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord.
