Hi Terence, in an ironic twist of fate I auditioned for an eight-piece soul band the other night, trying to be Mr. clever I learned a couple of tunes off their website so as I'd have their arrangements spot on. You've probably already…

graham lightfoot replied to Terence Mark Frensham-Page's discussion 'Audition Tips' in the group Drummers Looking to Join a Band
Hi Mark, my interpretation of these situations is that unless they were progressive rock/fusion/extreme metal they were not looking for fab chops. In my experience the less you play the better, after all most other intrumentalists/vocalists…

Thanks for the comment Graham. I was house drummer at Miranda's Strip Club in Greek Street, for sometime - in the days when they stripped to LIVE music! During the breaks we used to rush off the pub close by as the drinks we so much less than the over-inflated prices in Miranda's. I bet most of the girls are now drawing their pension - or married to millionaires!!! As for singer's arses, I worked with some who make a better noise out their ares!!!
