David R. Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 Time for another mini-rant. You are at the gig, or even at rehersal, and you have this great funk line going. Then the drummer hears where you place the "pop" and thinks his snare would really go well there as well. Your line dissapears in the smack of a snare. Hey buddy, get your own beat. And I just boiled my bass strings, too bad no one can hear how fresh they sound. -David R. -David R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clockwirk Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 I hear you. The only thing I want a drummer to do when I'm getting funky is lay the bass on 1 and 3 and the snare on 2 and 4. There's something inherently funky about all that space and simplicity. Much better than some drummer who's trying to double your line exactly. ~clockwirk~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lug Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 a good solution would be to boil the drummer instead of your strings. You can stop now -jeremyc STOP QUOTING EVERY THING I SAY!!! -Bass_god_offspring lug, you should add that statement to you signature.-Tenstrum I'm not sure any argument can top lug's. - Sweet Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnb Posted May 25, 2001 Share Posted May 25, 2001 Why not try talking to the offending drummer, it usually works for me. If that doesn't work, replace him/her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clockwirk Posted May 25, 2001 Share Posted May 25, 2001 Well, at least you have a drummer who's listening to you. I know some drummers who couldn't lock on to your idea if you wrote it out for them. Just explain to him that this isn't prog rock, and he doesn't have to be matching you stroke for stroke. ~clockwirk~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoneTone Posted May 25, 2001 Share Posted May 25, 2001 You could try double pops and watch your drummer light up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lug Posted May 25, 2001 Share Posted May 25, 2001 Again that craigleyh guy shows that he is one of the best and brightest at this forum http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/wink.gif. Hey milkman, do you throw your drummer a treat or chew toy when he stays off your sound? Scratch him on the belly, take him for a walk? You gotta have a carrot to go with that stick.

milkman Posted May 26, 2001 Share Posted May 26, 2001 In the early days it was the old newspaper and a few "good boy's". Now days I just wear one of those doggie whistles around my neck,just the sight of it keeps him in line. All seriousness aside,I suspect he is human and we don't walk on each other so it's all good.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Friedland Posted May 28, 2001 Share Posted May 28, 2001 Reminds me of an old joke: Why did God give drummers 10% more brains than horses? So they wouldn't poop during the parade! http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/wink.gif Just kidding, some of my best friends are drummers. ------------------ www.edfriedland.com www.edfriedland.com The Bass Whisperer Bass Whisperer TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
