I'm a professional bassist and drummer but also play guitar, double bass and banjo................ Does screaming count? I'm very into heavy metal [Death, Black, Power, Doom and Folk metal is my favorite] so I work on my guitar I use flashy leadwork a lot with whammy and harmonics, tapping, sweeping and the like. I try to learn good music that will challenge me techically.[Necrophagist, Childom of Bodom, Slayer, Vaderm Dragonforce] For bass and drums my [main axes] I mostly focus on reading music and groove.[More fun then it sounds] I also try to make sure I'm using new styles all the time so I keep myself I ahead of the game. Variety one of most important thing for a session musician.
