one of the lowest points in my drumming years...sigh!

haha.....the concert last week in survivor 2 was such fun considering that i was playing like a young primary school kid with a few months drumming experience!....barely had enough time to setup the drums more precisely which i definitely regret...haha....i AM a fussy person but in the end if i did set up to my personal preferences....the rewards can be all the more generous!...which means i'll be able to play better ....firmer timing and all....but what happened to me at the day of the survivor 2 event last week was disastrous....didn't feel well in the afternoon until around 4pm when we reached there in palm springs, i surpisingly felt much better....was exhausted the day before...haha...i knew i shouldn't be exhausted just a night before the real thing! was in seremban from 2pm to 11pm...how much more tiring can it be? on saturday night(2 nights before survivor2), barely had enough rest just around 4 hours of sleep so it carried on till the next day...and then till monday...u can say i was pretty flat-out on tuesday...just so tired to do anything...so when i was playing on monday night(survivor2 concert)...everything came out like crap....good leonard and the presence of God was there (which i hope did save the embarrassment a litle bit...heheh..)if not for leonard's vocals the whole concert would be just total crap technically (not spiritually ler...). it was pretty messy, i myself couldn't gel with the band, the tempo and timing was all over the place there were only 3 "tracks" that i was just ok with but not very pleased. i got this conclusion after an evaluation by tape from michael today. they are "anthem"(the tempo still kept getting faster and rushing in almost each bar,occasional lags and slow tempo too), "drum solo"( forgot to do triplets, literally no time to set up the dbl bass pedal let alone the whole setup. well, it was a nice musical solo, occasional vinnie c off beat stuff very free hand style....but nothing great or spectacular and again......tempo problem!) and "come to praise" (nice...but again there was the tempo and me rushing again...argh!! :) ...) so that was literally the whole thing....was so tired after that...but good in a way i'll have lots of room for improvement....no comments about the other vocals besides leonard...haha....just have nothing else to say.and yay!!a big YAY!!.....me dad just bought me a pearl export red wine fusion kit, she's just gorgeous!...i know it can sound kinda big once mic-ed up and some eq-ing....thanks dad!!....now just have to get a throne...and once i work....get some AAX hats and a ride(maybe an alchemy pro ride)...haha...this collection can never end!will post up the pics of my whole range of equipment real soon...
