Re: I got chosen as drummer...

Well, actually I was called to fill in for the spot of the original drummer, but he's sick as of the moment. To my surprise,
our band manager called me up and told me that I would be filling in for our performance this weekend in about four days. I was able
to practice my drumming skills for two songs, but there's a third song which was inserted. I haven't gotten the beat for that one yet.
Also, if I perform, the band manager promises to give me at least 10% of the earnings. Of course I couldn't refuse that, but
I'll admit I'm a bit nervous. I need some help to boost my self-confidence.

Just go for it. If you know that you can perform well, then give your manager a reason to believe in your drumming skills.
If he knew he had doubts he wouldn't have chosen your for the task.

Dude, if you're 50% sure and 50% otherwise, tell your manager you can't do it just to be safe. Of course, if you tell him
that you haven't practiced this particular track yet, be honest and tell him that so he'll either consider extending the practice
period or get someone else for the task.

You just have to believe that you can do it. Nothing wrong with heading in to rush at your target. Actually, it makes for
a more daring job.

outofashes makes a valid point - your manager would not have bothered with selecting you as the substitute drummer if he knew beforehand
that your skills aren't up to par.

Re: I got chosen as drummer...

Appreciate the support and encouragement everyone. I just hope I don't feel like breakin' down. Just let it flow and it'll all go
naturally.
