I got the CD of the songs that i am going to play for Paris's degree project this week and have been listening to them to work out my drum parts. The songs are different to what i usually play and listen to so it is going to be interesting and beneficial to my playing to be involved in this project. Being a session musician means you will constantly be presented with varying music styles, but you have to be able to get into the style and feel of the genre and make the tracks sound perfect. I am also going into the studio next week with my band Eat Dr Ape to record a 7 track CD. I have been preparing for the studio by rehearsing with the band and getting the songs tight and refined. I also took note of all the tempo's of the tracks and have been practicing my parts on my own to a click, so that i am ready to play to the click in the studio. I think that it is important to prepare yourself as much as you can before entering a studio so that you don't waste anytime and get the job done as quickly as possible. Studio time is very expensive so when people are looking to employ a session musician their going to want someone who can get their track recorded to a high standard as quickly as possible.
