Let me ask you guys this question... Would you be more nervous while playing a show if you knew there was another drummer in the audience listening to you? I think there are going to be two at mine, and I'm afraid I might try too hard to play perfectly because I know that they will be able to tell if I mess up.
I get nervous from time to time when I know someone is in the audience who I respect greatly. Other drummers don't bother me per se, just people who blow me away.Let me ask you guys this question...

One thing that helped me AFTER my first show was chewing gum. When your nervous you dont breath like normal (sometimes holding you breath w/out knowing) and abviously not as relaxed as normal. Gum made it so I didnt have to think about it I guess. I have been playing for 20+ years and if I remember I will still grab some gum before a show.Hi everyone! I would like to hear about your first time playing a show. Where was it? Were you nervous? Did everything go smoothly? How did you feel afterward? I'm playing my first show next month, so I don't have a story... at least not yet. = )
