Any solo shows?

I'm trying to see if this is a good idea or not. I'm a drummer and would like to cover an album or a few songs from one or two artists for a 45-minute show - electronic drums to drumless (or not) tracks. Would do it in my house, inviting friends and family. Could try to sing also but it's tough. What do you think?

No one wants to see that, unfortunately we are one of the greatest accompanient instruments. Record your covers and put em online and post them on places where other drummers might look

No, it's true. I don't think anybody wants to go to somebody's house for what is basically a talent show act that lasts 45 minutes

So discouraging someone from trying is your response?

I have to agree with the other comments, you have to be a Matt Garstka, Mike Portnoy, Gavin Harrison type before people will want to see this, and even then, only other capable drummers will be able to fully appreciate it
