Hey guys, I have come for your help once again! I didn't really know where to post this, but here goes...my first lesson back at college (on a full-time Music Performance course), is - you guessed it - a performance. I haven't had much time to prepare, but basically it has to be a solo performance on our chosen instrument - mine obviously being drums. Now given circumstances and various other things, I have narrowed my choices own to playing along with one of two songs. My choices are as follows:
Bad - Michael Jackson
Using the drums on the track as a steady bass, my idea was to play some more decrative tom work over the verses, and really come in for the choruses, etc.
Black or White - Michael Jackson
My idea here would be to bring the drum track to life a bit more - make it stand out by adding a lot more technical pieces, more decorative feels, etc on the hi hat, and really getting my groove on with the song.
I chose Michael Jackson, as my view is that the vocals in his songs are what stand out the most, not neccessarily the band (to most people), so I thought I'd give it a go and bring the drums at the back (yet the heart), right out to the front...please help me decide!!
Thanks guys!
