Getting it covered.
On this page I want to share some cover songs that are amongst my favorites.
I have played in a vast array of bands throughout my career, and the majority were cover bands, many of you will experience this, have experienced this or are doing so now. During one gig your band most likely plays over thirty songs. The drummer is expected to be each one of those thirty legendary drummers all in one night’s performance. The right feel, pace and power of each song is now yours to deliver. What could be more fun! During our lessons we can discover what it takes for you bring the most out of each song.
