Well, there is one other option...

But I've always run my choirs and worship service by starting off with auditions.

There's nothing wrong about having an "A" group and a "B" group, either.

These things can be hard to do if you already have a lineup, though, emotions run, feelings get hurt, the whole nine yards.

As for "skillful" -- I think far too many people are defining that as meaning "schooled" or the like.

I kow plenty of skillful entertainers and musicians who don't read music, never took formal studies, yet are exceptionally skillful at what they do.

Heck, Andrae Crouch learned to play and sing the way he does simply because his Daddy, a preacher, laid hands on him when he was nine years old and asked the Lord to give him the gift of music.

Andrae got the gift.

He's played like that since a child.

I can tell you it hasn't been that way for me (grin).

But seriously, a drummer who cannot keep time is not a drummer.

By definition.

Just because I'm a Christian does not mean that I have to put up with crap.

Yeah, I'd fire the guy unless some improvement was shown, and soon.

Better no drums than bad drums.

Give him a knife and ask him if he knows what's inside his snare...
