Are you a member in a band? Have you ever done session work? What happens if your band breaks up, stops touring or needing a drummer? What if the band takes an indefinite hiatus, or even a temporary once? When the cash stops coming in and the river runs dry, do you find yourself with a skill that can't be applied to much other than the one band you've spent your time practicing with,? Or do you have the chops, versatility and relationships to go out and land other gigs?
This is exactly where Chris Hornbrook (Senses Fail, Poison the Well + more) found himself when his band needed to take some time off, but he didn't. With an itch to play and a desire to expand on his chops (while paying rent) Chris landed a gig with Senses Fail, filling in for various other acts behind the kit along the way and keeping him occupied when his primary project isn't out playing shows or making any dough.
