Audition
I just Auditioned a drummer, I am 17 and he is 15, he seems pretty decent but he isnt the best, I mean usually he keeps the same beat, he changes it a little, and he plays it kinda in the same range of speed, but I am serious about music and I am looking to make it big(although sounds farfetched) I am! But I live in a small area in Iowa and there isnt too many drummers to choose from, do you think he can learn quick and become better soon? Do you think it is worth trying him although he isnt flashy, how long would it take if he was dedicated to learn well fast? What can I do to make this work out? I need some help because I need a drummer and the kid is really the only thing I can find. please give me some advice expierienced musicians!!!

well, first of all, how long has he been playing? if it's only been a short while, then he should improve, but if he's been playing a long time and he still isn't good, then there's not much hope for him...
but keep in mind that anyone can improve with practice

cowardice lies beneath the skin,

i see betrayal hate a grudge flourished through time.

How serious does he seem to be about this? If he's got ambition coupled with such a young age, I'd overlook his current skill in lieu of improvements to come.
Besides, you live in the middle of Iowa and there probably aren't that many drummers around. :p

Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.

At that age, I would take passion and enthusiasm over skill every day of the week...besides, you said it yourself...this kid is the only thing you can find!
I would start jamming with him, and see how things go...you can always replace him if you need to...he may become good quickly, he may not...but as youve got no one else...you have to try him!
