Usually I'm to the drummer's left (hi-hat side), which is why I've got eardrum damage to my right ear. Noisy bastard drummers!

+1 on the hi-hat side.

Started off on the (right-handed) drummer's right for absolutely no good reason at all. After a while I read something on a website somewhere and made myself thoroughly unpopular by moving to the hi-hat side and disrupting the entire band other than the drummer.

We were instantly tighter! Never moved since.

Band 1: right-hand side because the guitarist and drummer were the founder members and the guitarist goes on the left.

Band 2: no drummer.

Band 3: next to the MIDI file player that does the drummer's job.

Open mic nights: on the right, whether there's a drummer or not, so I can see the guitarist's left hand.

I'm not bothered which side I go. I can play equally badly on either side.

I'm usually stage right, no reason, just am!

By the hats if I can...

Or it's 'Living for the City' and you've just hit the 'da-da-da-daa da-da daa' bit
But seriously, C under A- man what this isn't jazz gtfo

Oh and both sides, depending on the gig. To the right most often.

[quote name='obbm' post='388283' date='Jan 22 2009, 10:27 AM']Most drummers I play with have the Hi hat on their left. Are you a left-handed drummer or are you looking at this from the audience viewpoint?

Anyway facing the audience I prefer to stand to the drummer left, next to the snare/hi hat so I can see the Kick pedal easily.[/quote]

Yep me also, drummer's left (hi-hat side). Its the proper side a bassist should be on.
