Worst Experience Being in a Band? - Beyond Tiki

No offense to drummers, it's just been my luck. I've developed some rules on the matter: It's hard to find a good drummer. If your lucky enough to find a great drummer, he will inevitably get hooked on crack and may also be horribly racist. If you find a decent drummer, he doesn't want to get involved in a band just yet. It's easy to find beginner drummers. Sometimes they even have their own kit. The cool thing is, they learn as they go and thus become acclamated to the rest of the band. They may eventually become good, but if they become great see rule #1. On the other hand, I'm aware of great drummers in local bands all over the state that are exceptions to these rules. Also, as a bassist I've done my part as well! -FB
