As it happens, the first gig went quite well. Started our first set and the reaction was a bit muted.
Second half I told the other guys to turn it up to stop people talking. (Pete Townshend once said: People come to hear me, I don't want to hear them.)
It worked. People actually took a bit of notice and got off their arse and danced.
Dropped a stick during 'Substitute' but I think I got away with it. My arms still ache, which proves I'm not fit enough to be a drummer and that it's probably due to me smoking.
Which leads me on to my next post.

Hi Dereck,
Drummers rule man. Keep the beat, keep the faith and keep on kickin'. After enough years of playing your arms do stop hurting. I smoke and playing just winds me up and gets me going. What a rush playin' drums is.
Peace, love and light.
