Journal: delays
-------------------------------------------Mood: Straightening things out...
One of the things in life that really frustrates me, is when my plans go awry. This leads me to believe that this is when I must find a creative solution to the detours towards what I want to accomplish.
Being in a band, sure has its ups and downs. At times, you collaborate with other musicians that either don't have the same vision as I do, in our music ventures, which is not such a big, surprise, but it's so disappointing when I come across good talent, but then the band falls apart. This has happened to me with several drummers, during the course of this year.
The first drummer (won't mention names) came along in late December & I kicked him out in mid February. What a great drummer he really was, but he was so hard to work with. First of all, his ego, destroyed my enthusiasm to work with him. Then, he was a little insane, which started affecting my sanity. The next drummer, really believed in what I was doing (songs & music of mine). But, he was a total, flake, due to his vices, so it wasn't long before we parted. But, my most recent drummer, was my favorite one. He has a great ear on how to make a good song, and is an excellent drummer. Unfortunately, he was my ex boyfriend, so I think the problems started when he became really controlling of how I should do my songs and was quick to discourage me with my ambitions to enter the studio. So, now I'm in a search for another drummer. Don't get me wrong, it probably seems like I have a cynical attitude with these fellows, I just know that the dynamic with these guys didn't function with my project, so now I have to start anew. I'm not worried about not finding the right musicians, but it is delaying the recording sessions.
I have two candidates that I am considering to choose as the new drummer. It doesn't bother me that they're both family members, but I want to make a decision soon. I really can't say what that decision will be at the moment.
