I just sent my promo material to a similar band this morning. I don't know what I'm going to do if I get the job. I mean I'm single, with no debt, and no day job. My only limitation is a dog that bites people. This shouldn't affect my ability to go on tour should it?I would be awesome playing in a band like that. I just figured out what I’m watching today!
Sounds like a killer opportunity. With a dog like that, there should be no reason to fear leaving your kit set up, while you grab some coffee.

Never anchor a dog to a bass drum spur!Sounds like a killer opportunity. With a dog like that, there should be no reason to fear leaving your kit set up, while you grab some coffee. LOL!
I love tuba

While brass can be appealing in some instances, I prefer to play in a self-contained trio. Why? It's a simple matter of odds. First, there's a positive correlation between people and problems. As the first number grows, so does the second. Hence, minimize the number of participants, and the chances of discord decrease in turn. Second, in a trio, namely one that involves a drummer, a guitarist, and a bassist, the vocalist will generally be the guitarist or the bassist, meaning the singer also plays an instrument. I've found singers who are also guitarists or bassists to be more down to earth than those who just sing. Sometimes, sole singers are also attention-seeking thespians. I'd rather leave drama in the parking lot. Finally, my primary genre is country. Brass really has no place there. If I'm adding a fourth musician, he or she will be a fiddle player, not a trombonist.
Again, nothing against brass. It just doesn't conform to my ideal band vision.
I agree with this except many singer-songwriters who play an instrument to be complete pains.
If it's actually tuba and not sousaphone, OK. But what's better that a mariachi band with accordian and sousaphoneTuba and trombone are my favorite brass pieces. I guess I like low-end from horns.
Well I got a response. They liked my promo and just waiting to work out an audition. Yay!!!Sounds like a killer opportunity. With a dog like that, there should be no reason to fear leaving your kit set up, while you grab some coffee. LOL!

Thanks MJ! I'm feeling really good. I've been playing alot the last year (practicing at home mostly, plus a couple of bands) and feel on top of my game. My hands have improved greatly and I'm ready to go!!Congrats. Go in and get it done. Remember, an audition means they like your playing already. You've got nothing to be stressed about and even less to lose. Just tear it up and win them over.
Wouldn't be hard to do a wrap. Just time consuming, but simple enough to do. As long as the old wrap comes off easily.Thanks MJ! I'm feeling really good.

EDIT: My only issue is the multi-colored TAMA kit. I could use the Gretsch Catalina Club 3-pc I suppose. It's cheap and I could leave it somewhere. Otherwise, anyone know how hard it would be to get some bumwrap on the TAMAs?
I was thinking of that temporary wrap stuff. I forget the brand. It lays on top without any glue or adhesive.Wouldn't be hard to do a wrap. Just time consuming, but simple enough to do. As long as the old wrap comes off easily.
Johnny Cash’s version of Ring of Fire is awfully cool with trumpets.?
