Here's my story in a nutshell:
I have a Master's degree in orchestral percussion performance and, of course, have tons of experience with classical gigs.
The drum set has always been a secondary instrument for me, but I do have some facility and feel fairly comfortable behind the kit. But, I have never performed on it except in Broadway-type shows.
I have been asked and agreed to perform with a great up-and-coming singer in a pop gig soon. This is a first for me. I know how to prepare the songs, but what advice would you give for the "day of"...or any advice for that matter.
What say you?
Thanks!
