I was at a party on Saturday night where there were 12-15 people that had seen my band play. All the conversations involved telling me and our guitarist that we sounded good and they really enjoy hearing us play.
Though there were at least 6-7 that didnt even know I was the drummer.
Now I admit- when I first started playing live- I couldnt get enough cymbals up in front of me to hide from people! I'm down to 2 crashes now and I have them postioned fairly low so that I can see and interact with the crowd.
This situation brought about 2 feelings in me and I dont know if its a good thing or a bad thing.
Personally I'm a little put out that these people didnt know it was me straight away- yet on the other hand- all I want to do is play for the band and the music. This means I am pretty happy that I disapeared into the music and was not noticed as this tells me I'm doing something right.
I'm not flashy at all- but I'm also not one to hide at the back anymore. Just not sure if I should be happy with how people see the band or if I should do something about it?
