I've found from my own experience that they tend to play particular hell with drummers. And when they do, look out; few things seem to bring about as much musical ruin. Did I tell you about the gig I played with OBX where an inept soundman briefly routed a click track our drummer was using through the house speakers? That ranks up there with our half-step modulations and "Port Authority, baby!" Comments: |
