POLL - Are bass players the most reliable band members?

[Cat Burrito]

I probably am now I'm older but I did wobble on occasions right up until my early 30s. Shout out to the many fine drummers who are bang on the money for showing up, learning the parts & being thoroughly decent.

Last night, we were band 3 in a 4-band line-up, on stage at 9 pm. We all said we'd get there about 7:30. I got there just before 8, neither of the others were there. Drummer turned up a few minutes later. Texted "Where are you?" to guitarist at 8:35. He rang me with not much idea of where he was or where he needed to get to, so I told him as much as I knew (not a lot). He finally arrived at 8:45 and we dashed straight on stage, got set up, and started just after 9.
