I am starting my 2nd adult ensemble at the local music store here and the instructor told each of us to pick 3 songs and we would then all vote and pick 5 to learn and play live.
There are 2 guitar players a bass player and me on drums.
I would love to learn a cool song that I could learn brushes on so if anyone has any suggestions please list a few that I can consider. Just keep in mind that I have never played brushes before so something fairly easy that I can learn relatively quickly would be nice, plus it should be something the guitars and bass players are going to enjoy playing as well.
Plus I have my 1st live performance (in front of a bunch of real people YIKES) coming up in 2 weeks. We are playing 4 songs that are more bluesy and a real cool rendition of Moby dick without the solo : ). Oddly enough the toughest song for me is the slowest, 'summertime. I keep wanting too add something because I feel people will be looking at me going is he gonna just play that through the whole song..LOL, I have found that when playing this real sloooowwwww beat my mind starts to drift and I eventually lose my place or my dynamics somehow get louder and it sounds like crap. Not as much as when I 1st started but I have to make a concentrated effort to stay locked in, I did not see that coming when I took up drums. You always figure the slow ones must be easy as hell.
Anyways any help would be appreciated.Thanks.
