I just wanted to here from my fellow drummers out there, what do you consider a "gig"? I've been blessed to play for 3 churches, and I periodically play for a singing group or two. I'm in it for the love of God, to worsip, and to fight the enemy. That's the ministry part.
But, praise God, I get paid for playing in most cases. In that sense I consider them gigs. Most of what I do is "church gigs," but all of them are gospel- related. I might go out of town with one of my choirs to a youth service or something....
The only other stuff is small studio stuff and 1 CD for school. But I've never done a big gig b4.
What do you think? You can tell me about your experiences but I really want to know what you consider a real gig.
