Peter Wildoer quote

Commented Peter Wildoer: “My audition started with two jams where we set the levels for in ears and just felt each other out – musically, that is. ;-) After that, we went through the three songs they sent me. I guess you’ll get to know what songs it was on the next episode of the Dream Theater video. At last, they wanted to try some new ideas. This was HAAAAAAAAARD! The ideas were in weird odd times and not one bar with the same meter. Very cool ideas, and I got my head around it so and so after a while. If those ideas end up on the new Dream Theater album, it will be PROG! :-) All drummers used the same kit, yes. Auditions were held in New York so no chance to bring my own. We had more than enough time to set up the drums how we wanted them. There was also a drum tech who helped out. I had no problems as I’m used to play rental kits etc when on tour.”
