I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I have been playing (seriously) for about three months. I have had periods in the past where I would try to learn but work or some other issue would absorb the time I should have been putting into drumming. I'm improving. I normally pick things up fairly quickly. Now I'm nervous. A guy I work with had his band leave to go play another venue. He is now looking for a drummer. I told him without hesitation I would do it. The first show is in two days. Now I'm afraid I'm going to screw it up. He says it will be fine we're just playing for fun! He plays older country type music (Eddie Rabbit, Alabama type stuff). Not really my style but that's what I've been listening to and trying to play lately. I want to play for people I just doubt I'm actually ready. I do not read music,I play by ear. Just wondering what some of you guys think.
