the guy in the very back of a band, singer, exc, who's main job is to keep the beat. a drummer doesn't get a whole lot of recognition unless he would have a solo or if he just makes up these insane beats. usually a drummer is a complete spazz or is just crazy in one way or another.

The backbone of the band, the master of tempo, the drummer plays a huge role in a band by providing the beat and how this beat is interpreted and felt. In fact, without the drummer, no one would even move to the music, it would just be noise. But just as the drummer's job is important, so are all the other members and their roles, so let's not fight over who is more important because all the members are just as important. When one instrument or member is missing, the entire band is missing.

A musician who plays a drum, which is an instrument usually comprised of a membrane stretched across the top of a (at least somewhat) cylindrical shell. The backbone of any 20th century modern music group. Often quite dense. Always gets the girl.
