The hiatus – redo?

so it’s been a couple of weeks since i’ve posted a blog about the band, well that’s because nothing has happened since then regarding the band. After giving it a try with the singer it just didn’t work out between us. No one can say we didn’t try, but it’s just unfortunate that it was not able to work out because the songs we were coming up with had a really cool vibe to them.

Now we are at a stand still, just us three once again trying to figure out what we want to do. It’s funny to think that us three click very well musically and all we thought was, “all we need is a singer and BAM! we’re set!!” well the singer came and it just didn’t work. We still intend to play music with each other though but as of now, its more of us exploring our options and see what works out best for us personally and the band.

That being said, our friend Josh David finally got his solo project off the ground and needed musicians so he called up Chee (the bass player) to play with him at his first show, which he agreed to do. Chee then suggested he call me to play drums because Josh still needed a drummer, so i got the call and i agreed to play (just want to point out that evan was asked to play lead but he wasn’t able to do it). The music was totally different from what we were used to playing, it was all straight up pop which is pretty fun to play and really easy too.

We practiced pretty much everyday for the next two weeks, working on vocal harmonies, getting the transitions between the songs perfect, making sure we were all on a click, i mean the whole nine yards. We wanted to come out as professional as we could, our mission was to impress.

*Our friend Ken (Chee’s bro) took video of the night. Thanks KEN!

After the show we felt really good about how well the set went and how we sounded, it was a great night!. Josh seemed happy with everything that he asked us to play another show with him in february, we agreed but this time we’re gonna bring Evan along to play lead so it looks we’re all going to play together again but not with our own stuff but someone else’s and you know what, that’s totally fine with me. After playing that night it reminded me how much i missed playing shows, all my nervousness went away it was straight up adrenaline it was such a rush!

*on a personal drum gear note.

i recently purchased a stainless steel dunnett snare from ebay. it is by far the best sounding snare i own, and i’d like to thank my friend Josh Niles for recommending it to me. it looks pretty and it sounds amazing, if you are a drummer i HIGHLY recommend this snare!!

my snare's name is "maddow"

**on a seperate note, i would really like to thank everyone who actually reads my little blog, it means a lot to me and i appreciate everyone taking time out of their day to hear me ramble on about my life, THANK YOU!
