Dasmond you no this industry mate whats your view
i seriously think all the music venues that we ve played at for years will go out of business soon........
i miss the band...the rehearsals,the banter and of course the gigs......ive not played my real acoustic drums for nearly a year now....
but im lucky as ive got a great electric kit to practise on (and i do at least 5 hours a week) to keep my hand in.i can play along to songs from my phone(drum module has bluetooth!) or just work on my timing,drum licks,etc....
i know some bands are really struggling financially but luckily for us we all have either good jobs or good businesses as well...music is a hobby for me and my mates ( we just happen to make a few quid out of it occasionally)...others rely on it for income and were gigging 5 or 6 times a week before last march....
