Hello, just wondering what people think –
So I’ve been in my first band for a few months now, its going well and there’s talk of booking our first gig in the next couple of months.
I can play most of our songs pretty well, but I’m lacking in fills and crashes (some songs I don’t play any fills at all!). I tend to play safe most of the time and simply keep a good groove for the band.
Does anyone think this would be a problem for a live performance? I’m quite short of practice time at the moment so I find learning fills and more complicated sections of songs really difficult.
Also, at the moment I’m still trying to get to grips with the transition from e-kit to acoustic, which is time consuming in itself! My thought is a tight beat and good sound takes priority over fills etc.
But at the same time I’m worried my playing will appear boring or sub-standard in some way.
Interested to know what you guys think!
Thanks
