Scott,

It's about this drummer's schtick.



You're probably right.

And regarding this comment: "Drums are what you play if you can't play anything else!" WOW - I sure hope your'e joking because this is exactly opposite of my experience.



I'm not joking about that one Scott. I know there are exceptions, but I've never met a drummer, (aka, someone who plays drums most of the time), who could play any other instrument worth a shit.

I went to a jam session once and during the break, I sat down down at the drums and started beating on them. I had never played drums in my life! The leader of the band pulled me aside and asked me if I would be their new drummer!!!!!!

That's pathetic! I can't play drums!

During the sixties, someone pulled either Paul McCartney or John Lennon aside for an interview and asked if Ringo was the "best drummer in the world". The response was,"Ringo isn't even the best drummer in the Beatles!"

I guess it's a personal thing, but I only want drummers to "back off", and keep the beat. Nothing else. Anything else is a distraction and takes away from the music.

Bob
