So How Close to the Record Do You Play?
Wayne replied to Otis's topic in Gigging Drummers's Miscellaneous
I have always been of this train of thought when covering a song…’play the song - not the performance’. As Bob said, make it feel good and place your own stamp on it. Capture the essence of the song YOUR WAY! That’s what makes it unique! However, when I’m learning a cover for the first time, I listen to learn the song as closely to the original as possible in hopes that I’ll pick up something up or learn something new which is usually the case . But I almost always change a couple small things that feel more natural to me once I get with the band to hash out the music. 😄 -
Just joined the shed and I have 6 shows this week! It’s driving me nuts not to be able to dive into this! 😆. I actually did an “ergonomic reset” on my kit yesterday because my back had some soreness after last weeks gigs. The DBD videos were key! Nothing crazy goin on with the kit I don’t believe - let me know if you have a suggestion anyone. I’m not sure what I did but I tweaked a muscle back there and it’s ANGRY!
