ahpook Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1477669087' post='3163776'] Lets face it, there is never such thing as a 100% faultless musician - even if you had Buddy Rich on drums, there would still be a problem. Aside from him being dead of course. [/quote] And the rest, by reputation ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 It's quite difficult to recollect what actually happened after the event but I think that if the drummer loses the plot for a second, I think I latch on to what he's doing with the snare ASAP as that's the most prominent sound for the audience.

karlfer Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 [quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1477341742' post='3161625'] Before this goes too far and gets misunderstood, in my 4 and a half years in the U.K., I have had the pleasure of being in a band and regularly playing with 4 quality drummers. I have never been in band and thinking, "I wish the drummer could get it together". That's said, we all, myself especially, make slip ups. My question is, when a drummer miss hits and stalls for the microsecond that feels like a lifetime, do you A: keep time and hope the drummer catches up B: time your next note to fall with the next kick drum/snare/ Symbol and hope the guitars cotton on and shift back into line. Reason I ask, I find myself doing both of these at times, but sometimes whichever one I do feels wrong. Ultimately, it's live music, and we plough on, I'm just curious to know how you all manage this!! [/quote] Get used to it pal, believe me! And option A, always option A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
