Everything You Need To Know For Your First Cruise Ship Gig.

Cruise Drumming

Cruise drumming is a very unique and fun gig to have. I worked for Royal Caribbean Cruises from June 2001 - Jan 2003; doing over 800 shows and working with over a dozen Grammy Award winners.

Getting the Gig

I auditioned for an agency that came to Berklee. The audition consisted of playing a medium tempo jazz groove, a ballad w/brushes, samba, bossa nova, rhumba, and then playing along to big band charts w/music minus drums and a click track. The emphasis was on good time keeping and chart reading.

Royal Caribbean Cruise offers an experience of a lifetime with its cruise to Alaska. It offers a total of nineteen cruisetours to Alaska which range from nine to thirteen nights in length. They also include the possibility of a land tour portion either before or after the cruise. The highlights of this cruise destination include hiking through glacial waterfalls or rainforests in Juneau, viewing spectacular ice fields by helicopter, wildlife cruises by catamaran, guided mountain-bike tours through the Passage of Ketchikan and racing across glaciers by dog-sled.
