I wish I read it before my band rehearsal tonight. We are in the process of implementing loops and both my drummer and keyboard player gave the most "pushback". My worship leaders were excited about the possibilities that loops allow. Thanks for pointing out the benefits for each instrument - this will be really helpful in the vision-casting conversations I'll be having over the next few weeks with individual band members. I also like the idea of teaching the band to think of the loop as another instrument - playing "with" the loop, not "to" it. Great practical advice. One thing I would add that I've found helpful is getting the loops to the band members as far in advance as possible. Giving them a week to practice with the loop at home makes rehearsal time go so much smoother and is not so overwhelming in the early stages of transition. Thanks again for the great tips!
