Re: The types/dynamics within a band...
I had a drumstick bounce of my forehead once, point on (it smarts!), and was shaking my head and getting really mad fast, when the crazy guy leapt across his drumkit to follow up the attack, and we ended up brawling on the floor, with my bass between us (I had just asked him sarcastically whether he could actually play anything other than the 'spazzy boom-clap 4-4' he kept doing, cos we were trying to get a different sound for a song).
Oh, happy days.

bassist: generally bastards who think they know more about music than they do and that they should tell everyone else what to do. Sometimes they are content to stay in their place but often they are not which can be very annoying. Antisocial, etc. usually describes it too [/ QUOTE ] Just too funny picturing diebitter as an [censored]! Doesn't fit with his image. I've known a couple bassists and they were nothing like this at all. Made me laugh so hard when I read this thread. Funniest thing I've read in days.

drummer: your description is spot on. The crazy one. The most fun to hang out with outside the band, often the dumbest... [/ QUOTE ] Can't stop laughing. Thinking about my drummer friends.

Re: The types/dynamics within a band...
Can't argue with any of these characterizations.
For any ice hockey players who have never been in a band, the drummer is just like your goalie. One of the best drummers I had was also a goalie.

Spot on. I would add that the Bass player is usually the least social and most likely to become a serial killer and agree that the drummer is likely nuts, the degree to which is proportional to his skill level. [/ QUOTE ] Is that what you think of us Bassists hrm? *adds someone to the list* Melch

But even if there wasn't I'd see it more as an observation than a rule.

Re: The types/dynamics within a band...
agree 100% good drummers are usually crazy, although it can manifest itself in different ways.
trumpet players are usually cocky, bass players are usually too busy getting gigs to fully engage in any sort of drama. if there's a trombone player, they're usually really nice and just glad to have a gig [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]. pianists are mostly condescending. --turnipmonster
