With over 200,000 musicians in Los Angeles, you can count the drummers on about two hands that are on speed dial for major studio jobs like movies and TV Series. The right term for this is being a 'first call' musician. The skills and experience it takes to play what is asked for - combined with the stress of the job, is only for a few that can keep it cool.
Watch how Russ Miller explains the workload of playing a movie score and what is asked of the musicians - and not only of the drummer, of course!
Why is it such a heavy job? Well, movies are just not written in 4/4, as Russ jokes.
Even more interesting is how Russ Miller explains how a score can be written, and next: how he gets these recording jobs.
