Acoustics, the bane of drummers.
A hard surface, a soft surface, and things in between. All designed to make drummers nuts. High ceilings, low ceilings, outdoors, all affect the drums.
Sound check, empty club. Nighttime comes, 300 people, they also soak up sound.
Small bars, early days. 50-60 people, mostly men and a couple of ladies, (They are the only 1's that dance) winter time, doors closed, heat on, 40 guys with beer farts. Sit there watching my heads melt wishing I had a Hazmat suit.
Gigs over, packing up, it's Jersey, so you go back inside to get some fresh air.
I love drumming.
