Recently we played another multi-band gig with a backline. There was a metal band the followed us and when they were getting set, the drummer was ready first so he started to warm up. I was blown away, this guys was like Joey with the lightning fast double bass and crazy fills. however when the band actually played as one, he was awful. One example was his timing. while he was amazing by himself, he couldnt lead or follow the group. On song breaks he was always that half beat off, early or sometimes late coming in with the crash and it was painfully noticeable. the bar owner was standing with me and kept rolling his eyes whenever the guy missed the cues. I was really surprised because during his warm up I was impressed and actually felt intimidated by his skill and was thankful we didn't follow them. I think maybe time keeping was the last thing this guy as interested in learning.
