drummer

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.

drum and bass

rave/club music featuring a prominent bassline, breakbeats (non four to the floor drum beats), samples and a tempo of around 160-180 bpm. drum and bass came from jungle music, which itself was a merger of the sounds of early rave music, reggae/dub and hip hop. this music is the bollocks, if u don't like it, u should!! take some gurners and u might feel differently...

drum and bass is heard live via a dj who spins original tracks and remixes by producers, sometimes an MC is also present to hype the crowd up.
"i love drum and bass!!!"

intelligent drum and bass

Intelligent drum and bass (IDB) is a subgenre of drum and bass, incorporating styles from chillout, jazz and ambient.

Atmospheric pads and deep sub-basslines are key parts of IDB. Rhodes and other jazz-style instruments are also found in IDB.
LTJ Bukem, Blame, and Photek are pioneers of the intelligent drum and bass subgenre.

Drummania

Possibly the greatest game of all time, unfortunatley only has Japanese songs.
Lacrox: Man, can we go play some Drummania now.
Friend: Dude, all you ever do is play that game, don't you have drums at home anyway?
Lacrox: Yeah, but they don't light up and show videos of cartoon characters dancing to the music.

drummer

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.
