Marc I loved being "the man" when I played classic cover rock with various band not having to share the "drumming glory" with anyone, but I have to admit loved ensemble almost as much. The only really good group I was part of was with USA when I attended with a scholarship in 82/83. The most rewarding thing about ensemble is the diffuclty putting it all together, focusing on your part yet hearing the others without letting them throw you, then blending it all to perfection. Showtime is just a formality if you've practiced enough to do it in your sleep but it's a high you can't replicate. I wanted to post a really well-executed complex arrangement by an ensemble but couldn't find anything on youtube I thought worth posting.
But for some real good fun this one is so original in a non traditional chamber type setting I just love it.
