| Just curious, in an unscientific kind of way! This thought crossed my mind during practice yesterday (yes, I was daydreaming while playing, mark me down for #4!) Phil | | Message posted 1377 days ago | IP Logged |

If this band was a person, it would be president. If this band was visual art, it would be the main attraction at Louvre. If this band was a book, it would be holier than the bible. -METALLICA

| I did.
i guess it really depends on the song, who thinks you messed up, who can tell you messed up...etc.
I can say for the majority of normal stuff that i play...i dont mess up. every lick is where i want it. there aren't many people in the world that can listen to another drummer play a song and say "oh, that wasn't in the recording, it was the other roll". I dont aim to please people like that anyway, so it doesn't matter.
If i'm playing more complex stuff, sure, every once in a while i'll let one slip....but the first thing any drummer should learn is how to screw up. I learned early. Now most of the time when I play i get a comment from another drummer or someone that I never miss a lick when in my own mind i'm thinking "I could have done that better". Its not in a cocky attitude sort of way, its just something that happens.
I guess the best way to make sure you dont mess up in front of other people is to not play songs you are comfortable with in front of people. Polish them in your basement until they are flawless, and then take it out somewhere.
I can say that i would never take a Michel Camilo song out to a bar and attempt it, cause right now its murdering me...but in a couple of weeks....who knows.
