Yes, my audition was as bad as it seemed. They said I looked great but couldn't really play worth a darn. Based on that experience I'd have to say I agree with the playing bad part but I don't really recall looking all that great either. They asked why I stunk it up so bad...my list of excuses is below. I'm really thinking that God is teaching me a lesson here. It's not logical I didn't do well. I don't know what I'm supposed to learn here but every other time I've miserably failed at something in my life that I should have done well at, I've always found a very good reason for it later on. Right now I'm just going with the flow. They said they were putting me in as an alternate and that I'd get a call in the next 6-8 weeks.
On Sunday I headed out and explored the bike paths of Cedar Falls and Waterloo. They aren't too bad...the best on road trails I've had since living in Aurora. I got neck deep in designing road cases and started to build the split snake...I really screwed a few things up.
1. Click sound was strange to me, never played live with a backing track
2. Didn’t really know what the outcome was supposed to be on new songs since I was hearing them/learning them in real time during the performance
3. Didn’t speak the same language (‘regular beat’, 'and 'vs. 'ah' when counting)
4. Not used to taking orders…particularly on the go
5. Drums not comfortable...not only an itty bitty kit but they and hardware was of poor quality
6. I was rushed (tough day at work, on way out of town)
7. Papa Roach song was a poor selection for a Church that is fairly conservative in it's music selection
