For the past month or so, I've been playing with a worship team other than my normal church. At the audition, I was told that I was filling in for their regular drummer that was away for the month. Ok, cool, no problem. We really meshed well and sound good together.
At the last rehearsal, I found out that the regular drummer wants to come back, but the rest of the band wants me to become the full time drummer. The regular drummer is pretty bad about time commitments, etc; apparently lots of drama.
I advised them this past Sunday night that as of the 18th, I need to step down. For one thing, I can't conscientiously take the other drummer's place when he is a member of that church and I never will be. Secondly, I need to get back to my regular church (where I don't play).
Unfortunately, this is the only gig I have anywhere in sight. Some of these guys do occasional festivals, so hopefully I've made some good musical contacts for possible work outside the church, but right now I'm pretty bummed for having to give this up.
