In my experience, whenever someone says "maybe you and I can get together and work on that a bit" it usually means that one person, isn't happy with what one other person is doing. You'll either end up addressing, but not necessarily sorting the problem, (possibly risky) or spend three hours delicately sidestepping it. Good luck though, in principle, a good idea. Exactly, that is why i don't like drummers - dziu dzitsu champions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have also met drummers who make mistakes and can't remember the song . . . 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 For one of the bands I play in, I also program all the drum parts, so the bass and drums always lock perfectly together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSeagull Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 If our drummer ever made it to rehearsal I might be able to build a relationship with him - hopefully I can with the drummer we are now trying to recruit to replace him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Same drummer in both my bands. I know and feel his presence but never have to really give it much more thought than that. I don't consciously need to listen to everything he does but if unplanned things happen i am able to follow. I think i might be one of those bass players that knows my bass part well enough i just play and hope everyone else is following Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure Waddo's nappy has been changed and that he's been burped. He likes the bedtime story about unicorns and bears; if you could read this to him until he drops of to Nod, I'd be grateful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Outside of a bass and drum jam, no I've not had a specific session to get to know each other playing wise. I've found you either gel or you don't, I seem to get on better with drummers who are feel first before technique, I've only ever played with one drummer I couldn't get on with and that was more a "all the gear, no idea" situation. He had a nice shiny kit but couldn't keep time consistently.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I've played with some drummers that can really motivate me and i can follow their fills etc but its been rare to find that link. Nowadays i just want a drummer to be steady and solid but can play whatever we decide to play. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you're not deceased there snorkster, naturally I was going to reanimate your old carcass anyway, but some of those voodoo ingredients are a right faff to get hold of these days..
