Well July has started and all's well. I had a gig last night, it was hard work but I survived. Its always hard as a drummer when you have to use another drummers kit. Its common but not common at all to have the other drummer say "use everything"...
We are a protective bunch and usually (because of the cost of replacement) we enforce a strict bring your own breakables policy. This can range from cymbals and snare drum to various agreements of using a certain amount of equipment, but of course - DONT MOVE ANYTHING.
Ha ha...
Anyway the gig went well and I was satisfied when I got home and relaxed. It's funny how much stress the prep for a gig can get you into. You worry about ticket sales, logistical idiosyncrasies of the band, whether you anywhere to park, who's driving, etc, etc...
...oh and of course the practice of the actual music. Almost forgot about that... Ahem.
It's late on a Sunday as I write this and I feel at ease with all that has transpired over this weekend. feel like I'd like to just hang out with friends without any plans and watch the world go by. Doubt I'll manage to 'organise' that though...LOL
But I'm tired and thought i'd update this blog before my latest video is uploaded to YouTube.
Nighty night...
