Band Practice

Band practice tonight was awesome! Awesome! Awesome! 6pm to 9pm on a Friday night, while the rest of the "world" my age is out partying and pissing it up I was rocking my c**k off on my sexy little fusion drums!!

That said I hurt my back lugging the hardware bag (around 100kg of metal) up the stairs and it caught on the wheelie bin as I yanked and a muscle pulled, which was ok at the time, but now it hurts like a m****rfu**er!

Normally on a Friday night I'm home doing the do with my cheap whiskey; not tonight! I had great fun on my kit tonight, did some shit I didn't know I could do! Tomorrow night's gig is going to be a killer! Watch this space for the vids, I will have my trusty old camcorder set up to record the gig! Sunday, rocking Sunday!

For all my effort I even broke a drumstick... the fabled (and my favourite) Vic Firth 7A's, the invincible's, I broke one tonight. But that's ok, I have 7 left for the gig, and that maniac Jaeken from The Great Apes will NOT bum more sticks from me! The last time we did a gig together (The Pits and The Great Apes, Mercury Live, a few months ago) this mad prick "borrowed" 2 of my drumsticks and systematically destroyed them on an already broken kit (his own), and shrugged it off. No mate, no chance!

Anyway I'm doing tomorrow's gig on my own kit, on at 10pm for around 45 minutes, a hard work set of awesome hard drumming worth about 2 hours workout on the squash court. Talking of which, I got a court booked on Sunday morning. Ouch!

I'm seriously excited for this gig! I've got fresh blisters on my fingers from practice tonight, but I'll rock tomorrow like a king, even if my fingers bleed (like they did at the last gig!)! Below is a few pics taken by claire Gunn at the last gig at Club Voom Voom.
