sorry guys i should of been a bit more specific. the reason ing for using the drummer as my main objective instead of musician's is mainly becous i could get side tracked in every aspect of the music industry, take the band situation out of the equation. i was more asking if you were or are a drummer and you had to make a career of it by yourself, ranging from session playing, teaching, teching, live and studio all those kinda formats of work. and versatile wise i ment in areas such as genre's, reading abillity, understanding of music everything...how well equipt do you have to be to make a decent career out of it. i mean ile have a music degree within 3 months but does that really count for anything? its a piece of paper at the end of the day. how good do you have to be to be renound and become a 1st time call up, a gadd, a bruford and all the pro's that carved a name out of thier own accord.
