• Ability to perform multiple styles, including Top 40, rock, Latin, jazz, big band, etc.
• Ability to play with a click track and backing tracks
• Must own their own drumset for the occasional gig where the company does not provide one
• Must own their own drumsticks and IEM’s (in-ear monitor ear buds) to bring to all gigs
• Must have an easy to work with, “go with the flow” attitude
• Must be willing to pass a mandatory paid New Drummer Training before being offered gigs
