OK, this is partially a joke, but a serious joke.
Dream Theater is looking for a new drummer. Nobody says they can't recruit a fan. But they need to assess who would be capable enough. Enter the
Dream Theater's New Drummer contest.
Each week (or how circumstances will require), there will be one round. Each round will be dedicated to one song. Learn to play that song on drums, record yourself and post to the contest site.
Maybe we'll be able to draw the attention of DT there and if we have a talent, who knows, maybe he will be auditioned.
Or maybe not. Anyway, you can't lose anything and your skill will raise.
Let the fun begin!
