Why is there so much bad mouthing about drummers? Aren't drummers a real musician's best friend?

That's true; many drummers do associate with musicians.

Two kinds of drummers, those with a good clock, and then all the rest..
I like drummers who keep good time, then I can just relax and play..

Until a couple of years ago I'd never played with a drummer. It took a little bit of getting used to but now, when he's not there, I miss him.

Having said that, here's my 20 year old drummer boy at our gig last night showing just WHAT IS wrong with drummers :D Showing off his new tatts, wearing jeans that defied gravity all night and managed to stay up, throwing his head back and just going off. Sometimes he makes me feel quite young and other times, like the way I feel this morning, he makes me feel quite old.

It would be better is he was using two of the same size sticks. Looks like a 7a and a 3s to me.

Well over on the bluegrass forum it is banjo bashing. Oh never mind they really hate drums too.

He had broken about five sticks at that point. He was also at the point of not knowing...or caring :D

He looks like he's in a lot of pain. Does it hurt to play drums? :D

Sometimes it hurts to listen, though.
TJ, don't bother calling me for help. My oldest daughter ran off with a drummer.

My daughter married a drummer. He's the one playing the congas and the maracas on Carmelo. Don't laugh, but right now his job is working as a pizza delivery guy. :eek: {I suppose I ought to mention he's doing that just to kill time ... he was a missile defense expert working for the Pentagon and NATO and was recently picked up by the FBI to be an agent and is just waiting for the next academy to start}. Mark ... there's hope. Women have an uncanny ability to spot and develop talents otherwise hidden to their fathers.

I hope you're right, Bobbo, but I haven't seen much cause for hope yet.

Both of my sons are drummers. I have to give them some credit, because I've tried sitting down at Adam's set and it's harder than it looks. Other than keeping a simple beat on the snare & hi-hat, I can't play at all. Of course, I can't really play guitar either...

My daughter married a drummer, too--but we were unaware of his musical proclivities when we were introduced to him. Seven years after their marriage, he and his brother own (profitably) their own auto repair business, he and Julie own their own home, have a driveway full of cars, trucks and horse trailers, three adorable children (to whom he is a wonderful, hands-on dad) and with all that's going on, his drumset is currently up in the attic at the top of their storage garage.
I'm hoping that of the three lil' folks, two will play guitar like me, and one will bang on drums like their dad--instant band. :D

She spotted and developed my special talent early on. However, as a demure lady, she prefers to keep that private. ;)

Drummers are vital.
Otherwise the singer wouldn't know where to stand.


(we just can't let them know it,
they're better when they're humble....)

I thought they were vital to keep the girls from bothering the bass player.

Actually, most of us who have played with drummers have played with the better ones - they can count all the way to four.

The lesser drummers play waltzes and polkas.
