Daniel Posthuma
Daniel Posthuma has been a musician for over ten
years. Throughout his life he has been surrounded by music. Even when he was
only two years old his parents got him an introductory level drum set that
entertained him for years. When he was five years old, he started taking piano
lessons, which gave him the musical feel to be able to play many different
instruments. He played piano for a total of eight years. After that, he became
very interested in playing drums again. So he worked out a deal with his
parents and purchased a drum set and began taking lessons right away. With the
musical background he already possessed, his drum playing took off. He began
playing for his church’s youth group and in a band. Through involvement with
different bands and playing drums in the church youth group, Alan Cullen, the
music director at his church, approached Daniel and asked if he would be
interested in trying out to play drums in front of the whole church
congregation on Sunday mornings. Of course, he said yes. After the tryout, he was
immediately put on the team and has played several times in front of our
congregation of about 3,000 attendees. “God has blessed me with many more
drumming opportunities and I look forward to the ones in the future.”Drum Daniel is playing at the SYS Fest - August 22nd, 2009 and Thrive Fest on the 23rd.
More drums and specs coming in the future!
