Don't usually get to post in this thread as I don't rehearse in my regular bands.
However we lost yet another member in my Trigger's broom of a Glam band so arranged a night to audition drummers.
Four applicants all agreed to learn some tunes so we hired a room, a kit and scheduled them in over a four hour rehearsal.
Three dropped out at the last minute for a number of exciting and creative reasons leaving us stuck with the bill and only one guy to see.
I didn't feel particularly positive.
But mark the sequel! The guy was great. Established a rapport with him almost immediately. He had his eyes on me for cues, played really well, and even busked Hell Raiser having not learned it.
Anyone who has played any Sweet song knows the structures are never straightforward but he was spot on.
