Drummers are the hardest position in a band to fill, and keep filled. A good drummer is hard enough to find, but a good drummer who is also responsible and committed enough to be in a working band is rare.
Many good drummers are just flakes, or crazy, or un-reliable. Hey, they hit things all day, right? Conversely, many responsible drummers are just not good. There is something in the raw talent to play the drums that also makes a person a little crazy, more so than other musicians.
So, if you find a good drummer who is actually responsible, hold onto that guy!

My band is currently on our 5th drummer. The first one was a jerk, the second one got arrested, the third one went crazy, and the fourth one got married and had kids. This 5th one seems cool, though.

Although we drummers are the best. There are some disadvantages:(1) Hauling equipment sucks. We have the set, cymbals, hardwere, pedals, mikes and a bunch of other stuff. (2) We cannot move around on stage. (3) Sticks are to drums as strings are to bass and guitar. Only these things break ALOT easier.
But other then that. We rule.

the drummer is the cute guy in the band who keeps the beat and the music together. Without him there would be no band. He is also the sexiest guy!

A drummer is THE most vital member of any band. A drummer keeps the pulse of the band, and basically makes all the non-musical guitarists look good so they can all say 'yeah, we're fucken ace' when they're actually, not. A drummer plays the drums (duh)and actually IS a musician, contrary to popular belief. Calling any musician a drummer is often taken as an insult, altho the drummer is in fact the cleverest musician
Guitarist: Hey guys, why are drummers always so stupid?
Drummer: So then 'Bob', what time dya need me 2 help ya wiv that work?
Guitarist: Err, shut up. I'm such a rocker. I'm like, hardcore. You don't even play a tuned instrument
Drummer: actually, i've passed my grade 5 theory of music, and my grade 6 piano. And, I can keep time
Bassist: Haha. Bob got ripped there. Bob's so stupid
**large domestic argument insues**

Someone who can kick ass behind a drum set and stir up excitement in an audience. A drummer can rock you or soothe you, depending on the song. A gentle song needs a drummer that can create a happy flow. Often real drummers make people want to jump up and dance. Drummers play a full set of rock drums: at least one snare, at least 2 tom toms and one or 2 floor toms, 3 or more cymbals, plus a high-hat and a bass drum. More of any can be added any time. Chimes, gongs, orchestral bells and cowbells have also seen some pretty hard-hitting from drummers. There are some drummers that could be called drummers that play other styles of music than rap and rock, but they tend to be rare. Like, is Charlie Watts really a drummer when he plays jazz – give me a break.
Altho drummers don't always practice, they remain true to a genuine spirit of hard-hitting cooperation with other members of their bands, driving them ahead. They are also influenced by the music coming from other instruments and incorporate it into the overall experience, hence helping to shape the music. This is why other members of the band should always play well, since they are influencing the drummer.
Drummers have the Power of Rock 'n' Roll at their command.
