Playing my first ever gig soon...

(1/5) > >>

Kill.kenada:
I feel a bit of a novice for asking, but, I'm a drummer playing my first ever gig next month.

Can anyone give me any tips, or advice?
Things I need to prepare for? (People throwing rotten fruit etc.)

Kill.kenada:
Hard to describe really.
I'll try and upload one of our songs, I haven't recorded with them yet, so they've just recorded with a drum track...

Kill.kenada:
Couldn't find any decent demos really.

This is just an acoustic version of one we'll be playing on the night.

(sorry about the state of the link)

Dazed:
Whatever you do, have extra sticks within arm's reach, easily available. You probably will drop or break at some point, and you really dont want to look like an asshole floundering with 1 stick for more than a second or two. Oh, and double check all your hardware, pedals etc etc, make sure everything's tight, bass pedal coming apart in the middle of a song will kill you.

Also, don't focus on the crowd.
