Not my first ever Jazz gig, but the first one using my red sparkle 20", 12", 14" Kent kit.
Band was a trio (drums, sax and keys) and the drums sounded and felt great. I couldn't be happier with them. Now I just need to scrounge up a couple more of these gigs a year.
It was also cool because I've never played with these particular musicians before. No rehearsal, just open the Real Book and call a tune. Great musicians and a great night!
Cool Daddy-O !!

That's the way we do it....I've always played this way, except as a percussionist, since I am not a real drummer. Congas and the like, yep. New people, new material, never looked at the music tho, just kind of the Grateful Dead sorta way...start at a note and play til you're done exploring the universe.
Cool on ya, maybe if they like ya, they'll call ya back~!
