Play... Glen Kotche told, The more you do it, the better you get and the more fun it becomes. Alone or with others, put in the time and learn. The more experience you have, the better youll be prepared, and youll able to adjust when needed. Ive learned important lessons that have helped me time and time again in playing situations that I thought were just for exposure or for an easy paycheck. Try to vary your experiences. Get in as many playing situations as you can. I took gigs in ragtime bands and wedding bands. I played Christmas parties – you name it. I actually learned some Herbie Hancock tunes by playing in a girl’s pep band. After years of playing in a big band, my feel improved dramatically when I learned how to play swing rolls on just a snare with that ragtime band. You never know what will change things around for you, so immerse yourself in as much as you can.”
