I'll give it a whirl.

[Fetch is trying to sound cool, is it working? Fetch grabs the drumsticks near the set that someone kindly left behind for her to work with.

She makes some minor adjustments to the stool and everything else - trying to get it into an approximation of her own drumkit before deciding 'fuck it' and settling for what she got to work.]

Play me in?

[She'll figure it out as they go.]

[ Nah, but being cool is overrated anyway. ]

Yeah, one moment.

[ Of course he's going to pick up a cello, even though synth seemed much more prominent in that demo. Scratch that. He'll actually sit on a proper stool this time and start playing the main riff -- the "big violin" sounds scarily like a guitar, though it being an electric sort probably helps. ]

[Fetch listens for a moment, bopping her head along to the tempo until she feels like she's got the rhythm and comes in steady and strong. It isn't like her solo, not in the slightest. That was just riffing; creative chaos and a good time to be had by all.

There's structure to this. The cymbal is kept short and crisp and after about ten repetitions she feels a familiar ache in her wrists. It's good.

Somewhere towards the end, Fetch stumbles on the repetition - getting lost in it instead of staying afloat and she has to make a hasty catch up that messes with the sound. She's grimacing when they're done, displeased with her performance.]

One more time?

[ She might flub it a bit at the end, but the rest? Now Squalo's sure he picked the right drummer to harass about this. It sounds alive, almost like he's imagined - a bit more reverb could make it even better, but they'll think on that once they start recording. Now it's just getting into it. ]

No rush, babe. Sounded great for the first fuckin' time you've even heard this thing.

[ He'll let her flex her arms or whatever before starting again. ]
