Whats it Take ?

A lot of drummers come up to us after our shows and jam with us. Quite a few ask if they can play with us... and soon..that possibility may exist.

We are increasing our shows and our teams. And we are using people from across the globe to play with us...

What does it take to be a RePercussion drummer ?

Well, ya might think being a percussionist. And, yeah, thats a start... but we have used a lot of drummers that just couldn't handle the gig ..

What's so hard ?

Well, we do a lot of shows. We do shows all over the US and soon... globally.
Almost more importantly than "chops" is the right attitude and personality.

Yeah, we have " fired " some drummers... lol. Some have gone on to start their own shows even. We love competition. heheheheee... Makes us look better. We eat that competition for breakfast.
(In the future... I may even send ya to their sites... we'll let you decide.)

And we have competition that makes us work harder. Procrastinators... you guys rock.
And of course, the masters of the stage.. STOMP... ( one of our guys is with them now ) We aren't even in your league...
Freddie... you guys rule the corporate world.

We however, bring it to the street. Unlike any other...

Our show started at Universal Studios Hollywood. We will never speak poorly of them.

But... what can you bring to the show that will keep ya with us ?

Well...here is what you can do to drop off our list.

1. Lousy attitude... We share a lot of time on the road... as Mark says. " it's all about the fellowship "

2. Poor ambassador.. lol... sound odd ? Well, we started out doing school shows...and still do...
and.. David .. the leader of the pack... is opposed to any illegal substances....Granted, we have yet to get to the point of random drug testing... but... we have lost a few drummers 'cause they thought they played better when they were "under". Instant termination...

3. Lousy attitude. Oh did I mention that already ? Yeah... its that important. Whiners need not apply... No one likes a whiner...

4. oh yeah... one more... timing. lol... musical ability. Or at least be able to hold a drum stick.
Heck if David can play for RePercussion... anyone that can at least hold a stick should be able to... ( ya know .. it's just a joke David... )

5. Respect others. Huh ? Man oh man... we work side by side with some real interesting acts.
Some days we are working with clowns...literally... and the next... our break room is shared with pigs...also literally. We do our best to be liked by all... and we do our best to like them as well.. We respect our co-workers...and our crowd. We hope you guys respect us.
We lose more drummers because of that... lol.... the three characters... Reduce, Re-Use, and Recycle... all do our best to Respect...
Maybe it's cause David is an Eagle Scout... who knows...
but...
Keep an eye out for us in your area... We may be having auditions soon... and...
if ya think you can fit in... we would be glad to have ya...

And a special thanks to those ex-repercussionists for giving us a lesson in what makes our show better....

Past stuff ...for fun....

An early and favorite promo shot...

Our fans send some great stuff....

Yup, Madison, Wisconsin....
The Dane County Fair... And, RePercussion has already been invited back next year !

here are some highlights !


It is 24 hours... and the first restaurant in Wisconsin to be so. As a matter of fact, when the first opened, it was illegal to actually be open 24 hours so ... they beat the system. 2 clocks.


One is a minute later than the other. So...that one minute they close to change shifts... but in reality the doors are always open. I'm not really sure either... but it works for them. And the service was pretty fast...or a minute slower than we would have liked.

And here are the other drummers...

Sebastion

Corey

and the lovely lake with the state capitol behind it....
Beautiful.

Columbus, Ohio is next...see ya there ... at the state fair.

We are beating trash cans to death in lovely Madison, Wisconsin. Pics to come soon.
