Well, this didn't go as planned. We met and started out with playing Summer Of 69 practically as soon as I had gotten my gear set up... Went somewhat well, except the timing was messed up. Then we went into Highway Star, and actually managed to make it sound somewhat good... After that we talked a bit, and that pretty much killed it for us. It turns out that our goals and ambitions are in fact not the same. He insisted on sticking to the club circuit, and said that he would rather not hold us back, so we should probably find another drummer (his words, not mine).

We continued jamming a little. I played the opening arpeggios to Knockin' On Heaven's Door, and he joined in with a count-in just before the Power Chords in the intro came about. Sounded epic. Nothing less, honestly. We continued playing through the song, and had a bit of fun with that, before I (without warning him) played a little transition-thing and kicked right into a sped up version of Smoke On The Water. He followed suit. Again, sounded epic and was fun to try for once.

After that, we talked a bit more, and then decided to go home. I had a fun evening jamming with the drummer, but we most likely won't continue (sadly).

On the bright side, I've got a bassist and a second drummer just called me on the way home, so all hope is not lost. And I learned a few new songs in preparation for this, so yay! Looks like I've got a second chance coming up :)
