Re: Drummer's Anxiety Hi Guss, yes indeed he played two at the same time !!, also sometimes he was singing through his mouth piece, which provoked a jet/vacuum cleaner sound.
I can't remember clearly but I think one of them was a soprano sax, I play a little bit of sax myself and I know you can play ( in the mid region around the G) with one hand.
Coming back to our anxiety thread (my fault for digressing) those guys never showed a lot of that, but they were living the music to the absolute max, most of us have to mix it in with another job, family (rightfully) obligations etc.
I guess to be on the world stage comes with sacrifices, but man what glorious times they had (have) performing.
For me, the humble drummer, it only matters that I put a smile on the faces of the band, and more to the point the audience.
I always get a bit of "goose bumps" when the audience get up to dance, i am really happy then!!!
