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.

Particularly when the showing off/overplaying goes right over most people's head in the crowd.

 

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."
