auditioning for a band...advice?

[Robman?]

From day one I was taught to use it, so that helps, I also use my thumb from time to time a la Jimi Hendrix

[Top-Hatted One]

I have the same problem.  I play drums, learned from listening to Crue/gnr records but I have some bad habits and my kit is not very good. I have to make the most out of what I got. My kick drum and high-hat skills can use some work but I'm very good at time keeping and syncopation and insert obscure beats and monster clash and snare sound. I'd give anything to find a group of guys who are willing to play some crue and gnr eventually writing songs. I'm in North Jersey...its not easy. Most bands are top 40 radio bands
