So i've been offered a wedding gig, playing percussion with a trio (guitar, bass and vocals). They play with lots of backing tracks (mainly keys, and drums I guess).
I've 69 songs to learn for the 22nd of November. Any clues?
I'm going to chart everything, most likely even play with charts, but I really hope to impress, as that will set me up for some more work (especially as Christmas and New Year's set in).
Here's my biggest dilemma: I've been given midi's of all the songs which have midi drum sounds, basically standard rock beats throughout. But I've been asked to play percussion: mainly congas, some tambourine and possible some snare stuff, but not my kit as such. Any tips for keeping it interesting through several hours of conga playing? I don't want it to be all the same. I'm tempted to take my hats as well.
