I'm either generous or stupid, I haven't quite determined which yet.
I'm backlining one of my kits for a fundraiser a friend is doing Sunday for Hurricane Sandy victims. All proceeds will go the the Red Cross.
She's putting on this fundraiser at a fairly well-known bar in Fort Worth and has about 10 or 12 bands lined up to play. All these musicians are coming together and playing for free with about 15 - 20 minutes in between sets for band changes. She has all the guitar amps, an electronic keyboard and all the mics backlined so it's faster and quicker for bands to change. What she was having trouble with is getting a drum kit backlined, as GC wasn't responding to her requests and none of the other music stores in town volunteered.
We met with her last week as my wife is also volunteering at this thing, and during the course of our conversation, so mentioned she was having a real hard time finding a kit. So here is David to the rescue. Since I was feeling generous and comfortable, I said look no further. I've got the perfect kit.
I've known this lady for about a year now as our social circles cross and we see her about every week at various clubs and venues, as her band is either playing or she is hosting a jam or hosting a "singer/songwriter" showcase. Eveything she does is totally professional and "above-board" so to speak. My wife has known her a bit longer.
The genres of bands are mostly country, country rock, blues and jazz, so no heavy metal, or - hopefully - heavy hitters that pound the hell out of things. (No disrespect to those on DW that play metal.)
I'm backlining my 5 piece vintage (early 90's) Tama kit. It' s in great shape and sounds fantastic. I'm including the hihat stand, two cymbal stands, kick pedal, snare stand, and drum throne. I told her and we agreed, each drummer needs to bring his own cymbals and sticks.
With the above information, is there anything else I need to worry with? or any tips or pointers I need to be aware of? Thanks!
