Members gusvolta Posted November 5, 2007 Members Share Posted November 5, 2007 well not all drummers, but my drummer is a {censored}in asshole, he joined another band and didnt tell us (our band), and i dont care what he does, but i've known him for 5 years so it sucks he doesnt have the balls to come up and be honest, i know things have been rough for the band lately (we kicked out our singer, and our bassist quit) but we were auditioning a couple of singers per week, some bassists wanna audition, oh well i guess he didnt wanna do any work finding a singer and a bassist, so he joined a band that was looking for a drummer and has shows coming up {censored}!!!! i hate that {censored}in asshole!!! he ditched us on tuesday because "he couldnt make it to practice" but the next day we found out he went to practice with the other band, so he called me and said he could practice on saturday, but the {censored}er got there (late) took his drumset and left in a hurry because he had to go back to work and his little brother was gonna use his drums, but today, i just found out he didnt go back to work, he took his drumset to go practice with the other band! ok, i feel better now.. not really so.... whats up guys!?

Members freeridstylee Posted November 5, 2007 Members Share Posted November 5, 2007 Sounds about right, drummers are all nutjobs. its on about the same level as being a goalie in hockey. Some day they're going to use some intuitive ai to make a good drum machine, and we'll send all those crazy worthless bastards to an island somewhere.

Members MathiasWilliam Posted November 5, 2007 Members Share Posted November 5, 2007 Yeah, my band entered a compitition and our drummer left school knowing you needed all members to be enrolled in a school jo play, luckily i am more a drummer than a guitarist, so i played and we ended up getting into the second round. drummers always seem to be the less commited members, thats why i am not the guitarist!

Members LedZep1985 Posted November 5, 2007 Members Share Posted November 5, 2007 The drummer that I used to play with in a band was a real tool when it came to playing in a band with him. As a person he's pretty cool, but when it came to working with him in a band, it sucked. He would bitch about my riffs being too simplistic, how everything I wrote was in 4/4, and not in some odd time signature which he's obsessed with. He would do sneaky {censored} behind our backs too. He would bring in people to audition for us, without notifying the other memebers beforehand. He also would goof off too much on his drums during practice, and not focus enough on our songs. At least the band that he's in now doesn't take his {censored}, and keeps him in line with his playing and attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted November 5, 2007 Members Share Posted November 5, 2007 I played in a band for over 10 years, and the drummer was the only band member that changed over the years - about 7 times!!!!! Drummers are flakes I got so tired of relying on them, I just learned to play drums myself. Problem is, I don't want to play drums all the time.

'{censored} the pedals man.... etc, etc" hell of a drummer though. he's better when he's on xanax for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DanJep Posted November 5, 2007 Members Share Posted November 5, 2007 It's funny because I read "guitarists are all tools" on the drum forum. I'm both and always seem to be the most committed. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Noise... Posted November 5, 2007 Members Share Posted November 5, 2007 To all you guys bashing drummers, don't take out a few guys being assholes or flakes on an entire group of musicians. I play guitar, bass, and drums. And, because I frequent boards here on HC for each, I see TONS of stuff like this on all of them. Guitarists bashing drummers and bassists, bassists bashing drummers and, as they call us over on the HCBF, "guitards," and drummers bashing guitarists and bassists. It's a vicious circle with a lot of bands, it seems. Each musician looks down on another type of musician for whatever reason. They really don't comprehend that it's just as hard to play one instrument as it is to play another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some day they're going to use some intuitive ai to make a good drum machine, and we'll send all those crazy worthless bastards to an island somewhere. Well if thats the way you want it , have fun w/ your drum machine buddy. All us drummers could use a vacation , and we could have some nice drum jams on the beach......If the shoe was on the other foot and we could get a good guitar sound out of a keyboard , or train monkeys to strum and solo... then I'd like you to think of that island full of guitarists , trying to stay in tune w/ the moist salty air , impatiently waiting their turn to solo , wondering why no one is looking at them , and trying to convince others to try out the Bass.:poke:I like guitarists , and I'm not saying all drummers are great people and great players , but I am saying people in glass houses should throw amplifiers. Gusvolta - sorry your buddy didn't man up and tell you sooner , but from the condition your band was in can you really blame him for bailing. Confront him about being shady on that issue and maybe he'll apologize and you guys can at least get along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confront him about being shady on that issue and maybe he'll apologize and you guys can at least get along. That's another thing I don't get - what's with wanting to be way out in front? What's so damned great about being the center of attention? Even as a guitarist I don't want attention. I want the music to be the focus. Not some horse's ass wanking away on a guitar neck. Maybe I'm just an oddball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members regular guy Posted November 5, 2007 Members Share Posted November 5, 2007 The biggest problem I have with drummers is that all of the good ones already have gigs. Which leaves only the flakes to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Merlin Coryell Posted November 5, 2007 Members Share Posted November 5, 2007 Hahahaha, Im a drummer who has done this multiple times. I want to see this guy in the future, ever looking to change jobs, and coming out and telling his boss that he is looking around and planning to quit before his next job is lined up. You know, being stupid... I mean: "up front and honest". Guess thats where all the jobless guitar beach bums come from. But in this thread's case, it would be a bunch of whiney emo bums, and they dont like the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Johnny Metro Posted November 5, 2007 Members Share Posted November 5, 2007 99.9% of all musicians are flakes and/or self-absorbed pricks regardless of instrument. The key is to get in a band that has the least amount of these people in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
