We lived above the church, and I remember there was no air conditioning in the church. I would shut all the windows and I would have concerts in there. Practice, you know, take the microphones.
All through my senior year, luckily, I didn't have too many hard classes, just a lot of electives. I was able to spend most of my time at the practice space.
If I'm not at the studio, I'm at home.
I have a playroom with my drum set, a guitar, and amplifier at home.
Unfortunately or fortunately, in order to become acquainted with the idiom of country or rock music, it is necessary to occasionally play in a bar. Bars are a rehearsal place.
If you get a chance to act in a room that somebody else has paid rent for, then you're given a free chance to practice your craft.
I didn't understand how to get a practice space or buy gear - I never thought I could do any of that - let alone get in front of people and play the songs.
It is a lot cheaper to spend eight hours in a rehearsal hall than in a recording studio.
