The Drummer’s Job???

Posted on by
Came across this post on a Yahoo group about drumming. Being first and foremost a drummer, it reminded me of a few bands I’ve been in:

The job of the drummer is:
To show up before anyone else, since it will take longer to load in the drums.
To stay later than anyone else, since it will take longer to load out the drums.
To be the only one in the band who has any idea what bar of the song the band is in at any given time.
To hit the crash in the right spot so the singer knows when to come in.
To play the right fill to remind the guitar player it’s time to go to the chorus.
To play the right fill to remind bass player where the bridge is.
To play the right fill so the entire band knows the bridge is over.
To play an obvious “end the song here” fill so the guitar player doesn’t turn your 3 minute song into an extended 10 minute guitar solo showcase.
To remind the band it’s your band too.
