As a parent of a senior departing school this year I had the honor of sitting in with the high school jazz band for a performance under the stars. I offered the use of my kit, both so that they would have a nice sounding rig for the performance, and also so I would have something familiar to play on. I didn't bring the whole kit, just the essential elements I thought I would need. I brought it to rehearsals, set it up and left it to be brought over to the stage for performance. When I get there, one of the drummers (who thinks he's a real hot-shot) changed my pedal for his own, changed the cymbal setup, changed the hi-hat tension, and tightened the snares up waaaay too much!!
I was a little annoyed because everything felt wrong to me. I know every drummer has a certain way they like things to be, but I couldn't get over the attitude that he somehow thought he knew more than me.
Then he heard me play.
I felt better after that somehow.
