Do you play an instrument/sing?

Personally, I'm a trombonist. Quite a bit of my audition is searching for something such that Joe Alessi sounds just the way he does when I actually see him at Carnegie/Avery-fisher. In other words, PHENOMENAL! Similarly, another part of it consists of listening to some brass heavy orchestral works, such as Mahler 3, Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz, Beethoven 5,Brahms 1,2,4, etc, Beethoven 3 (maybe slightly less brass-heavy), etc. Then I listen to some classic rock, just to sound how it deals with yet another part of the music that I listen to, but the initial two parts tend to be the more important.

Are you an instrumentalist/singer, and if so, how does it affect the way you audition equipment and/or listen to music.

I play the Drums. I started playing on
September 26th. 1980 the day AFTER John Bonham died.
He played drums for Led Zepplin, for those here who don`t
know who he is. I was INSPIRED by Neil Peart of RUSH!
I always loved the drumming of
Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Billy Cobham, Simon Phillips
as well as 1000`s others. I like to use live drum
recordings to see if a piece of gear is good or not.
Neil Peart`s solo on Exit...Stage Left from 1981
is 1 of the best to use, as well as his later release of
A Show Of Hands 1989, it has better sound quality
on it.
