====================
There is a subtle difference between playing a drum solo and 
accompanying a band. With the former, you can set your own pace (and 
play your favourite phrases!), but with the latter you have to fit in 
with the needs of the rest of the band. Having said that, playing 
wearing a "monkey" suit can't be that easy!
