Nothing worse than a drummer who wants to show off....THE WHOLE TIME! Which, in turn, has helped my drumming....instead of constantly throwing fills in people's faces and basically trying to show off.....I spend more time doing my basic job, which is keep time. Throw in a tasty fill periodically (rather than every 8 bars) and I'm golden. Isnt it also odd how guitarists have a better "drum" mentality than most drummers? In 99% of most rock bands...what you just said would apply to any local rock band. Overplaying sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drummer - "Yo, check out this quintuple, flam triplet with a rolling paradiddle on the 2nd, 4th and 9th beat." Band member - "Dude, were playing ZZ top covers in 4/4."
