The Psychology of Drummers is a book I think I'm going to have to write after numerous bad experiences.

Why is it that whenever there is a problem in a band, 90% of the time its down to the drummer?

Why is it that drummers feel it necessary to be the late ones at practises?

Why is it that drummers grow so tired of bands and leave to explore jazz-territory?

Why is it that drummers, if they are not suicidle, they find it necessary to be at the route cause of every inconvenience?

Why is it that drummers are so few and far inbetween?

Why is it tthat when you do finally find a good drummer who can do exactly what you're after, and though they remain enthuised in the work, they fast become the most motivated lazy people known in all of humanity?!!!!!

FUCKING DRUMMERS!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, I can only imagine that many others here have had similar drummer experience, so to those people I ask for your input. Any good input is welcome as well, but I just really felt like having a rant on a topic which i am only too familiar with. . .

Most unfunny thread ever. And no, not just because I play the drums...

[Old Gold]

Heres an idea: learn the fucking drums yourself and break the trend.

Stereotyped pish.

from a non-drummer with a good but useless drummer in their band...

"haha".

[DrBastard]

Wow, that didn't go down to well. hehe

But seriously, the psychology of people and their instruments might make for better discussion then?

Its only logical to assume that someone who has undergone years, and years of practising their instrument, should in some way be effected by it.

Vice-versa, perhaps certain persons are initially attracted to their instrument for more deep-routed reasons.

It's fairly obvious, imo, that guitarists in particular are inclined to have larger egos than the norm. Even if only on-stage egos.

If we aint gonna talk about it, I'll retreat and think about it anyways.

FUCKING GUITARISTS, BASSISTS, SINGERS!!!!!!!!!!

Redressing that balance from past experience.

Drummers have to deal with spoild brat singers and guitar players.

[Jager420]

It is like this. A band is like a car. The drummer is the engine. The bass player is the tranmision gear box and drive shaft. The singer /guitarest is the seat covers and radio.

Ha! Think I know who you're talking about there!

That said, I've generally had good experiences with drummers I've been in bands with, only difficulty I've experienced is an overall shortage of them.

(BTW You weren't complaining when the drummer you refer to was wowing the crowds by playing jazz bass on stage WHILE drumming. )

i remember nicko mcbrain of iron maiden once saying 'drummers are a little disturbed because they like to hit things all the time' make of that what you will!!! i like drummers they are always interesting characters!
