Re: Under-cooked chops?
Every once in a while I like to take that risk. There's that rush that comes from "not playing it safe." Please don't get the wrong idea here - I don't treat gigs, the audience, the song or my...

Re: Two Drummers, One Band

Re: Requirements for stage clothing
It will be said yet again - depends on the gig. I'm yet another of the jeans / "good" black tee shirt. I'll upgrade to a black polo or a solid white or black button down, sleeves rolled up and...

Re: Concentration whilst playing gigs

Re: Which came first- the chicken or the egg?
