At the start of this year a new band was formed from members of our local jamming community. It is actually a very similar lineup to our Swing 42 jazz band, but this time we are going for a more folky vibe with elements of bands such as The Waterboys and Bellowhead. We have a few Hivers in the band with 
We took it in turns to pick a song with several people taking lead vocals. I did a couple that are fairly new to me and very wordy. It may take me a while to learn all the lyrics. I was managing to play some basic drum beats whilst singing.
At some point someone requested a drum solo, so I had to oblige. It is nothing to fancy and uses a few fills I have been learning on Drumeo. My Yamaha DD-65 is very portable, but has limited sensitivity and sounds. I use a proper kick pedal for the bass drum and so it at least feels something like a proper kit.

We are putting together a set of songs that would allow us to play some gigs. There are some local festivals we could apply for. I am contemplating getting a small acoustic drum kit for when we do have play some shows.
A full rock kit would be over the top for this band. They can be a pain to transport and set up, but there are some more compact options. Some people build a kit around a suitcase that acts as the bass drum, but you really need a snare and some cymbals.
You can also buy ready-made kits that fold up quite small. I like the look of this one and I have seen some on ebay that are not too expensive. I shall keep an eye out for something local.
Rock on!
