A fictitious scenario: a young band is playing more and more concerts, including outside its hometown. For the joint departure, the drummer usually turns up late at the rehearsal room. Faced with this, he says: "In my spare time, I don't want to rush around every second of the day." There is a big chance that not every band member sees the band as a mere leisure activity. A punctual setup and a smooth soundcheck in particular make bands popular with other bands and promoters. Regular rehearsals are important, too: How long do you want to rehearse and what expectations do you have? Do rehearsals also include hours of songwriting or really just live rehearsals?
