drummering

The act of imitating a drummer, usually as to tap one's fingers on a table or dashboard, sometimes to tap your foot (usually for the bass drum effect), in sync to a song playing.
"Would you stop drummering to Pantera; it's getting annoying."

or

"Do you know who plays drums for Slayer?"
"Yeah, Dave Lombardo. Why?"
"Well, let's keep it that way. Stop drummering. Douche."

Bassist-drummer relationship

The coolest people in the band, and for some reason the most underepreciated. They are two unlikely heroes who band together to take out those snooty guitarists and man-whore singers. They are the heart and sole of music. They also are (normaly) best friends, and they get most of the girls because they aren't drug-addicts and crawling with STDs like the singers and guitarists.With the exception of an occasional guitar solo, bass and drums are the best.
Wow, Cliff Burton and Lars Ulrich (in Metallica had a great Bassist-Drummer relationship..... and probably got all of the girls

snare drummer

The flashy part of drumline (besides cymbals) normally the most perverted out of them all. And, as badass as drumline is, snare drummers are the most badass.
"Did you see that badass center snare drummer?"
"Dude, they are all badass.'

drummers

Musicians that get little to no recognition. They work just as hard as anyone else usually harder and get treated like dirt. Sure any one can hit drums and make noise but it takes years to be able to make drums talk a skill only some drummers will ever aquire.

drummer

A musician that plays any type of percussive instrument, though the connotation of the word has developed around the drum kit, which is often played in a variety of musical styles such as rock, jazz, blues, country, punk, and metal.

Many stereotypes exist concerning the drummer both as a person and as a musician. The primary two are that drummers are unintelligent and that their instrument requires the least skill to play. Both of these are unfounded, as the drum kit is a completely different type of instrument than something such as the guitar, being percussive as opposed to musical. Thus, the skills required for a guitar and the skills required for drums are not comparable, though both instruments are highly difficult.

In a typical band, the drummer serves to create the basic beat for the song, with the bassist providing a connection between the musicality and the percussion (e.g. the guitar/singing and the drums) that allows the band to sound in sync. Most often located in the back of the stage on a raised platform, the drummer often is left out of the spotlight, hence the frequent claim that drummers are underrated and unappreciated. Nevertheless, they remain the backbone of most styles of music, and are indispensable in a band.

Some famous drummers include Keith Moon of The Who, Neil Peart of Rush, Ginger Baker of Cream, and Terry Bozzio of The Mothers of Invention, though these are only a few.
