Other musicians have it relatively easy. The practice studios are generally well equipped with amps, mikes, cables and a basic set of drums. A guitarist just needs a guitar to plug in and play, a trumpet player only his horn and as for singers ... well they waltz into the studio with little more than a couple of sheets of lyrics. If you’re really lucky the singer might bother to buy their own mike and maybe even stretch as far as a tambourine. We drummers, on the other hand, have to stagger into the practice room under the weight of cymbals and whatever else we might need.
