So, do you play drums too? Dang...I change my avitar and find out there are some drummers on this site! Cool!

FeverMike

donz, I'll be in Ft. Lauderdale and Miami this coming Wednesday thru Fridayvisiting music stores (I sell to all of them). Where do you shop in town?

I wouldnt call what I do "playin" but Ive always liked drummers more than the lead singers or guitar players (they are a dime a dozen) but a truly talented extremely skilled drum player is hard to find



(see if we can start another fight on this thread )

Checks in the mail ......

I'm with ya...no fighting with me on that subject. A good drummer can make a bad band sound awesome...and a bad drummer can absolutly ruin a band. So you always liked drummers huh? I knew you were cool but now you are totally the chizit! My wife always like the drummers....something about the rhythm!

As an engineer, I see ALL (and hear not very much) Guitarists are very expendable these days. My friend Jay Stanley was the guy who wrote "3 AM" for then Tabitha's Secret.....later Matchbox 20. As soon as Rob inked the record deal, BOOM!!! both Jay and the other guy were fired. Jay got payed because of that song and even got some "punative" damages too. It was tough being around him or the other guys sometimes (I go back a little ways with all of them) and the blood got so bad at one time that you couldn't put Rob's mom and Jay's mom in the same room together. (Rob's mom is a piece of work) Hell, my brother was their first Live Engineer but then was fired as they got bigger because the powers that be felt that he was no longer at the band's level. Jay and the other guy (forget his name) were not bad players, had good attitudes but the Record Co. sez u gots 2 go!!! But if you play drums and play them well, you could probably piss on the singer's mom (not Rob's....you will die...by her hand ) and still keep a job!!! (See Dave Chappelle's "R.Kelly impersonation song he did, "I want to piss on you!"

Ah, yes the music industry...both sides...the instrument sales part and the players part....sure are funny. Back in my LA playing days I was once told I need to record the album but I am too tall and my hair is not long enough for the band! I auditioned for another sleezy glammy rock band but they said no married guys allowed but you are the best drummer we've audtioned in 2 months! In Nashville if you are a player in the studio's they will hardly hire you for a tour and if you are a touring musician they will not let you record...WTF?
