It went pretty well, but it was the second gig that really went bad. I guess as musicians, you really have to have a strong level of persistene. Because critics from all over the world will come and go, they'll go out of their ways to tell you how much they think you suck, but what truly matters is how you feel. You have to establish a strong relationship with your fellow bandmembers to do whatever it takes to constantly improve your sound on and off stage. A few bad experiences wont kill you, just make you stronger.

I could go on for hours on how many bad experiences I've had with drummers over the past several years, but I'll spare you guys the details. Just remember, before you make him join the band, have him play more than two songs, from various different styles.
