Thom assumed the stance and thumped out the bassline in time with the rhytm guitar. Even though it was only a practice, he knew it was important to feel the music so the groove came naturally on stage too. So he tilted his hat forward and got into the swing of the song, occassionally siding up to Rick to emphasise the synchronicity between the rhythm guitat and the bass.

Scott all the while was in a world of his own - the benefit of being the drummer being that it was allowed to do just that, everyone else was following you after all - smiling, eyes closed, head nodding to the rhythm. Every cymbal crash was an over-emphasized arm swipe, and any rest beat was flourished with a spin of the drumsticks.
