I don’t know if most drummers are “deaf” because of the inherent volume of the drums, or if they think the drums are supposed to be the instrument that’s at the forefront of the group.

I can understand if it’s a “hip-hop” song, or even a “rock” song, but other than that, the drums should be a background instrument. Most other instrumentalists know when to "back off".

Just my opinion, and I know lots of people will disagree. That’s okay.

There's a reason 'good' drummers are hard to find and it's not because drums are so incredibly easy to play on time with skill and panaché.



Quote:

Panache is a word of French origin that carries the connotation of a flamboyant manner and reckless courage.



This guy definiteley has flamboyance and reckless courage. No drummer should!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I agree that drums aren't easy to play. I only tried once and got a job offer.

Ooooooooooooops! Did I say that out loud???????

The main reason that good drummers are hard to find is that no one who has musical ability wants to play drums. Most people get "drafted" into it. Usually, (but not always), because they arent good enough on another instrument to play in the band. Keepin' the beat is easy, compared to playin' the song.

(Sorry drummers, it ain't personal. I would say it's just a fact, but Kevin will jump my case and say it's just an opinion, so.............it's just my opinion. I'm tryin' to keep the peace these days.)
