Due to some extended tour work (non drumming) I have been away from the kit for about 2 1/2 years, but that is about to change.
I have a number of auditions coming up for some very different bands / artists.
Naturally it is all about my ability, connecting with the bands / artists and playing the parts as they want to hear them...
However, being in a very privileged position of having a number of very varied kits (vintage and modern), as I wonder how may here in a similar position attempted to match the kit / sound to the music for their auditions?
By this, I mean adding perhaps electronics and parts to play them, using a jungle kit vs a rock kit or jazz kit etc?
Naturally I am in effect there to 'sell myself' so, what are your thoughts?
