The band I'm playing in has lost the only drummer we can find to play rock covers.
I've volunteered to play drums.
On the upside I get to sit down all gig, make lots of noise and not do much.
On the downside....well, there's no downside.

No, I'm my church sound engineer. But I'm drumming with my own gigging band.
