Why ever not? I'm very proud of the fact, and what I acheived during my time as a drummer. Are you forgetting MK used to be a drummer, and a pretty decent one at that!!Grin

Good for you Retroron In my experience with drummers, I consider them as much a musician than any other musician playing any given instrument. Drummers are musicians Good musician drummer composers, to name a few : Bill Bruford, Billy Cobham Steve Smith Gary Husband Kurk Covington Pierre Meorlen R.I.P. ect,ect.... Don.

The best thing about drummers is they are never sensitive about jokes about drummers - they suffer them continuously, like mine above. However, I have to say a decent drummer is the hardest thing to find in the musical world, so they deserve a bit more respect. Any competent bass player/guitarist/singer/keyboardist can get by in a band, but every band needs a GOOD drummer to sound tight. In all my time playing, the weak link in every band has always been the drummer. When I get to play with a decent one (who tend to be the humble ones who just get on with locking in with the song, rather than the fancy fill merchants and stick spinners) it increases my enjoyment of the session exponentially. Decent drummers, I salute you!

That so right Paul, A good band with a poor drummer, suffers... A poor band with a good drummer, sounds better... A good band with a good drummer, excellent... Don.
