And you do it like this!
RE:
finally, a wedding gig after a drought. past months had been chaos. shuffling and reshuffling. practicing and practicing. gel-ing with new players isnt exactly easy. tho we play the same genre, the problem is the style of play. we emphasize more on creativity and spontaneous whereas they are more keen on detail and originality. its impossible to do both. erm..actually, its possible. but how it be possible to keep originality, yet adding creativity like staccato rests, 1 bar fill-ins, bassy emphasis, effects, triplets,5/4 counts, 'latin beats' and personal touch. it isnt original anymore.
what i truly think? i think the percussion section is abit too loud. or just everything is abit too loud. we are playing out everything, so the monitors has to be cut down by afew click. den it will be nice to us as well as our listeners.nevertherless, it was a great session.i do look forward to further gigs. it will be fun, realli. we've got a really heavy percussion. a full set of melody/harmonic section. 3 vocals. awesome equipment. fun and laughter for all. perfection has never been so much fun.
lately, i've been carving to practice with my drumsticks.
im going to get myself new ones!
i want it thick and heavy.
so i can practice my spins and twirls.
once its been perfected,i can start doing it on my pair of zildjians.
but..where the F*** am i going to find time?
