[RudimentalDrummer]

drumming brothers - Please Come Must Attend.

[BadgerS88]

I know, all drummers have different styles of doing things (As do all other musicians). This doesnt need to be explained to me.

I was wondering whether you could try get through to her, the IMPORTANCE of structure. Nevertheless, the drumming can be different (in a sense), but atleast structure must be there. Or if she is going to follow a different structure, shouldn't the rest of the band know? Cheers yo.

She not my drummer, but a ex-drummer, but she still my friend. 8)

PS: This is a huge meetup!!!!!!!

 

[BadgerS88]
