Depends on your fills and when they happen. Like Mario said; you can add to a song, and as Herb alluded to; you can do too much and detract.

In my mind 'Fool in the Rain' has a lot of drum fills .. but all in exactly the right place so they work. A good drummer knows when a fill will add and when it won't. Your real question doesn't really happen until further down in your post.

Is it about the song or the drums?


It's about the song. If you make it about the drums you are no longer a team player in my mind. Especially if it is intentional and not because you don't know better.

smile you asked!
