Guys , My drummer is a salt of the earth top lad but .......he has this habit of changing the beat through out the songs . Randomly , half way through a groove etc , like start hitting the kick drum on the off etc . now we play a lot of dance tracks in our set and the bass line is crucial and the crowd love a kick drum on the 1 as it’s easy to feel and dance to. how do I explain to him that he needs to stop doing this IMMEDIATELY without hurting his feelings .? If we were doing little pub gigs I would’nt give a stinky poo but we do fairly high end functions and it’s ruining the show . pappers delight in 6/8 is ridiculous cheers
