Bass and drums in time together then add guitar and vocals- thats the workings of a good band. If bass and drums are out then your screwed my friend

I’m new to your site but I’ll WILL be back in the future! Great information. Be sure not to let the second note on each hand drop or unintentionally let the first note become an accent. In rudimental drumming contests they want to hear evenness (sp?). Just like when you play sixlets or three notes on each hand each time you hit the drum each note needs to have the same velocity and quality of sound. :-)

Hi, is there any way I can download the mp3 files on my computer? I want to practice it and maybe listen to it on my ipod.

Thank you so much…

See? That’s the kind spirit I look for in a drummer… Sure, they’re a little different than most people’s idea of a “musician,” but drummers are the cornerstone of rock. Except for maybe the guitarist ;) Love this forum!

The Bass and Drums ARE rock.
Without the bottom, drive, growl and explosions,
its just not Heavy.
Couple that with the folks that show the range possible (Geddy Lee/Neil Peart for instance)-
and its the biggest mystery to me EVER why videos shun bass & drums.

Yes, far too many ‘beginners’ play a bass cause everyone want to play a guitar, and they buy a crappy instrument and think banging one or two strings is all it is.

I like to make those people watch and listen to Jaco or Flea-
then they start to understand.

Thanks for you comments, people! It’s great to read your opinions…

@Nicki D. I really don’t want to disesteem bass-players. But i would not say that a bad drummer is the better choice. It’s hard to say. In my understanding everybody in a band should be on the same level, at least the bass-player and the drummer should play on the same level to form a fat rhythm-section. For me - as a drummer - the bass-player is a partner, i pay most attention on him…

@Tony Thanks, i take this as a compliment. Well, this post is about cliches and tales, isn’t it? ;)
