Has anyone else come across this?
After 7/8 years I find myself on the hunt for another regular gig. Still keeping with the functions purely for the cash.
Every ad I've replied to has asked for video links to my playing as well as inviting me for an audition. I really can't stand youtube drummers at the best of times as the vast majority are editted to cover any flaws. Also how do you show you can lock in with their bassist when you've never even met them? Surely 'chops' vids are the last thing you're looking for when you're after a pocket player and playing to a backing track is nothing like playing with a band.
I've taken the nice approach and explained that I'm a busy gigging drummer and haven't had the time to make a video, I've got the auditions off experience. January is going to be fun auditioning for new bands for the first time in ages.
