Yeah you're right there, I've inquired and there's a fairly long list of requirements.
I've been told its not all about being an awesome & flashy drummer that can do rudiments at 200 bpm & twirl & juggle your sticks while playing "Moby ######" with
one hand in 4/3 time. Though that would be impressive!
They wanted to know more about whether you are in a band & how much exposure you were getting, like tours, & any TV stuff, they wanted to know about recording contracts, & wanted to listen to the band's CDs, & some cookbooks so they can see you playing in the band, a bio on your drumming history & current gear that's being used, just to name a few.....
