      being thought of as "only the drummer." You know not a "real" band member? Not a "real" musician?

        lol No. Having the talent to play all instruments in the band can be an asset... or a two edged sword. lol

            Yep, I hear you. Guitarists (bass/electric) just can't accept that drummers are smarter...especially now that it's scientifically proven <winks>

                Agreed. I have a shirt that says "I don't know anything about music. I'm just the drummer." Wear it to practice. But I'm just a fill in at a local church and the band members are all great people. So there is that...

                      What do you call that guy that's always hanging around with the musicians in a band? Oh yeah, the drummer.

                      When talking to chicks, always remember to remind them of two simple words..."Limb Independence"......yeah baby.

                        When I first read that, I thought it was Limp Independence.

                        Wait

                        What?

                        No, no, nooooooooooooooo

                        Nevermind, my bad.

                          Being "just the drummer" simply means that our intellect and ability is so far above the rest of the band that they cannot even grasp the concept or form appropriate words to describe our supremacy.
