My boyfriend, J, is in a band with some friends of his and today I went along to one of their band practices. They basically spend a lot of time jamming together and putting together a couple of riffs, so it's all good fun. Today there were a couple of other guys there, so they played together.
The band have a special time to practice in one of the spare rooms at school. They've got the space allocated to themselves, so they don't get disturbed. Randomly, this guy wandered in. He spyed the drummer on his kit, and immediately began shouting over the din of the band.
This guy looked a few years older than us and I had no idea who he was. I asked my boyf if he was a friend or something, but J replied that he was a stranger. This man started begging the drummer, H, to have a go on his drum kit. H refused, he's rather protective over his drums. This stranger then stayed and pleaded for 15 minutes!
"C'mon mate, let me on them! Please? I would if you were in my position"
H relented in the end, he had little choice. The strange guy then proceeded to whack the drums a couple of times and played for no more than a minute. Surprisingly, he was pretty good. Then he shook H's hand, thanked him and left!
All that fuss for a minute of music? Unbelievable!
