its friday folks so lets ask the question that has troubled mankind for eons.
are drummers musicians? the point im making is this, i could listen to a(very good) guitar player for an hour or singer or piano or even bass but i dont think i could listen to a drummer for an hour.there is a long running joke in europe aka "drummer jokes" and i wonder if its the same in the states?
here are a few of the best...
1.what do you call those people who hang around musicians.....drummers
2.how do you know when a drummer is at your door...he doesnt know when to come in.
3.whats the last thing a drummer says before hes kicked out of a band.."hey guys.. you know i have songs"
believe me having a rock steady drummer(and ive played with quite a few) makes all the difference to a drummer who couldnt carry a beat in a bucket and i know its a rare skill(i cant drum to save my life) but does drumming to music that 9 time out of 10 is written by another make them musicians?
and i know im setting myself up for an onslaught of abuse from everyone who even owns a set of drum sticks but what do you guys think?
