Hi everyone, just a question about reading. I just got an email from my uni saying that they are looking for a drummer for a production. Applicants should have played in an ensemble before and have good sight reading. I have neither of these, but I want to get involved in something similar further down the line. Can anyone tell me what "good sight reading" would amount to? Does it mean I can learn a beat from a page quickly or should I be able to play whatever is put in front of me as I go? I can do play the the first few pages of comping exercises in Art of Bop Drumming just reading them off but this is only one line (snare drum). Does anyone have any advice as to what counts as good sight reading and how I should go about getting there?
Cheers
David
