That eased Steve's nerves. If they held him to the same standards as Gareth, then at least he would feel they would give him a chance. It wasn't like they had many other options. Steve was willing to work for free, at least until they started making money from their gigs. Another drummer might not be so generous with their time.

Steve nodded, his excitement apparent as he played with the rest of the band. Despite the initial overwhelm, he was exhilarated. He could now understand why Eddie enjoyed playing in a band so much. "I think I'll be okay then. It's a whole different ballgame playing with you guys than just drilling through everything with Gareth. It feels more complete, you know?"
