Re: How can you play in the correct speed if you don't hearthe drums first?

Rick Walker will probably remember this particular tempo thing as well... 

A Santa Cruz based band we both co-billed with called the Batteries, used 
to count off most of their songs really, really fast... then proceed to 
come in at the real tempo of the song... It was always great fun to watch 
the singer Tony Canipe in high-speed mode count off the song, and hear the 
band come in at a completely different tempo. Not sure if this was just a 
fun goof they did, or if they had deeper motives for doing it. Did they 
ever say anything about this to you Rick? I really loved that band and 
miss them all a lot...
