The first guy who farted could claim he played bass. They don't even play an instrument, you can beat on anything and call it a drum.Yeah.
The drums were the first ever musical instrument. So drummers can basically claim to have been the first musicians, the rest of us merely following the trail they blazed.
Bass clarinet, maybe. Or even baritone sax. But he wouldn't be so crass. And besides, he was hitting before he was farting.The first guy who farted could claim he played bass
Well, exactly !you can beat on anything and call it a drum
What does your friend make of the political situation in Borussia....?At least that is what my friend says.
Haha! I see what you did there Jimmy.The only question should be 'are they good at what they do and does it benefit the music'? Because any musician can suck at any instrument and still call themselves a musician. But when someone is good at what they do, you notice it real fucking quick. The same applies to those that do not.
Now singers, well that it juxtaposed because anyone can sing. But can they? Does that make all singers shitty? What makes a good one? Personal taste evidentially... How do they get 'musician status? And then the dime a dozen guitar players? What makes them worth a shit? Ability to play fast, or write a melody? It takes all types to make music. The word 'musician' is a generic one that covers everything from crap to genius.
No offense taken, but I have multiple decades of being either a drummer or a bass player. I can spot a shitty musician quicker than I can an internet troll hiding from their past.
I threw that out there for a friend. Not to offend any members here or people that try to hide who they are. Just sayin.
DW is not just my favorite type of drum... Get it? LOL
And with this, the discussion basically endeth.The word 'musician' is a generic one that covers everything from crap to genius.
Not really !And with this, the discussion basically endeth.
Take an average player and put him in front of a good drummer and bass player and he will sound good. Bass and Drums are the foundation, the rest is window dressing.A shit drummer and you got a shit band.
A good drummer and you now have a chance at a good band.
It was said of Charlie Watts (RIP) that he’d make any band good just by being in it.
I don’t know if that’s true or not, but a good drummer certainly is a plus......actually a necessity.
So yeah. A drummer IS a musician. A vital one at that.
Unless he’s shit, then it’s like a rope around your neck attached to a cinderblock.
I play drums, keyboards, guitar and sax, I feel your pain. I keep telling my friend, drummers are musicians but he just won't agree.It is a very insulting question to ask.
You try splitting your brain into 6 or 8 and playing very challanging time signatures and rhythms.....
Can you call a person who says drummers are not musicians a friend?I play drums, keyboards, guitar and sax, I feel your pain. I keep telling my friend, drummers are musicians but he just won't agree.
Hey, everyone has faults. If I can't call him a friend I can't call you a friend.Can you call a person who says drummers are not musicians a friend?
