"Wanted: A drummer who can play like Keith Moon, Mitch Mitchell and Ginger Baker!!!"
Roger looked at the announce board again, just to double check if he read it right. He was so happy he couldn't even believe it! Life was going the way he wanted so far.
It had been only a week since the school started but...
He had a very good friend: Brian.
He was studing the thing he was interested in.
Now, there was an audition for a drummer! It was for a band called "Smile". The audition was that day, at 4 PM, after school. It was going to be at the music classroom. Roger played drums since he was 12. So, this was an oppurtunity to show it to someone else.
The whole day, Roger swung in his chair and was very excited.
Finally, the time came! He went to the music classroom and started waiting.
There were two people in front of him and people were still coming.

"Next!"

A girl walked in. Drum sounds came. It was pretty good but the girl went out dissapointed.

"Next!"

The man in front of Roger went in and went out, couple of minutes later.

"If they keep rejecting people like this, they'll never be able to find a drummer!"
The man mumbled with anger.

This made Roger even more ambitious. It seemed like it was hard to be Smile's drummer.

"Next!" The voice came weirdly familiar.

Roger went in and looked at the judges.

"Brian?!"

Brian looked up.
"Roger?! Welcome!"

"You two know each other?" The man next to Brian asked.

"Yeah, he's my friend. Let me introduce you to each other."

Brian looked at Roger.
"Roger, this is Tim. Tim Staffel."

He turned to Tim.
"Tim, this is Roger. Roger Taylor."

They shook hands.

"Let's see how you play the drums." Tim said.

Roger sat down and got the drumsticks in his hands.
They shared a look with Brian and he winked at Roger, encouraging him.

Roger started playing something.

Brian's smile grew bigger as Roger played the drums. His eyes wider and sparkled bright. It was like he was under a kind of magic. It was breathtaking seeing Roger play the drums. When it ended, Tim and Brian exchanged a look. Tim looked pleased enough.
"We'll inform you." Tim said, with a little smile on his face.
Roger went out, proud of himself.

A day later...

"You got it!"

"I got what?"

"The drums..."

"Really?!"

Brian nodded.

"Yes!" Roger shouted with joy as he jumped up.

"The first rehearsal's tomorrow, after school. From now on, you should have no activity to do at afternoon. Every single day..."

"Got it!"

"By the way, the way you play the drums...It's amazing. Tim and I loved it. Why didn't you tell me you played drums?"

"Don't know. What's Tim doing in Smile?"

"Bass and vocals."

"Wow, what are you doing?"

"Guitar and back vocals."

"That's really nice. Show me sometime."

"Okay."

The bell rang.

"Have a nice lesson Rog."

"You too Bri."

The friendship of Roger and Brian was getting stronger each day. They're bond was stiff and they liked being around each other. They've even given each other nicknames now.
