Dancing Drummer
I examined Blake's drumsticks during a break in recording. They had his name written on them. "Oh," I thought, "He writes them on there to keep from getting them mixed up with other people's sticks".I examined the writing more closely. No, no, those were his signature sticks from ProMark. Eek.
He came in. "Okay, ready again?"
"Yup" I hopped up and went into the little fishtank where Greg and I were recording.
"This is the take," Blake said over the headphones when I got set up.
"You sure?" I asked.
"Yeah, this is the one"
"If this isn't the take, will you get up and do a little dance for us?"
"Sure" he grinned. I think he thought I was kidding.
He stuttered on the opening roll. He tried to get us set for another try before I made him dance, but he looked up and I had my eyebrow cocked at him.
To his credit, he stood up and danced. We all laughed, and then got back to work.
Now that's a professional.
