What album you been listening to?

Or a Tambourine.

 

Or maybe ... I used to have this set of three small morrocan drums that sat together in a corner looking very smart, in a moment of drunken inspiration my mate started referring to them as my " occasional tablas "

 

We are off to "The Cottage" (http://www.thecottagemusic.co.uk/) on 2 May to do some recording/****ing around. We went last year and my fingers were so sore with playing that I spent a couple of songs playing a plastic jar full of rice.

 

Looks good, recording was always my favourite thing, I always found playing gigs incredibly tedious - apart from the actual time you are up playing - the rest of the stuff was a major borefest. I will die a happy man if I never hear a drummer soundcheck again.

Though there was this one time where after all the interminable stuff of the PA guy going through each individual drum/hi hat/cymbal etc with the drummer - boom,boom,boom,boom,thwack,thwack,thwack,thwack,tsh,tsh,tsh,tsh,crash,crash,crash ad nauseum. He pronounced himself happy with all the individual sounds so asked the drummer to " do a run around the kit". Cue drummer getting up jogging around his drums and sitting back down, quite expressionless, on the drum stool again.

maybe you had to be there
