Forsooth!!

So last week i worked harder on my rudiments because Alan advised me to. And so far i'm getting pretty good at the 6 stroke roll, paradiddle and flam tap.

Through the rest of the week i had work as per usual and on one of the nights, i phoned my uncle (as he has asked me to drum on a CD he is recording) to set up a date for me to head u and lay down a few tracks..... a date is yet to be confirmed.

session stuff

Being a session musician requires me to be available (most of the time). Able to play most, if not every genre while able to sight read as well.

To show that i have all these requirements i'll have to provide:
                                                                                                  A Press Pack (excluding a CV)
                                                                                                  A Portfolio of my work/info
                                                                                                  A Practical Musicianship (including past                     
                                                                                                  musical projects with full notation, CD/DVD
                                                                                                  of past projects, Testimonials from past
                                                                                                  project employers or musicians, and videos
                                                                                                  footage featuring myself performing).
