The hardest part about playing the drums is not playing the drums.

[@j.i.-cruz]

damn facts

[@quinnmarchese6313]

especially when your bandmates are just like "play that basic simple 4/4 beat or some variation the entire song" and you just have to resist going 7/9 and throwing in a fill every few measures.

[@codycoyote7046]

@@quinnmarchese6313 I’ve played with drummers who only know that one beat, and drummers who constantly try to “spice it up” but ruin the song as a result. Hahaha there’s no middle ground but I’d rather jam with a Meg white, phill Rudd type drummer than someone who wants to “shred” all the time.

[@jamesdevine02]

It must be said, drums are a unique instrument in that if you see them near you, even as a non-drummer, the urge to play them is impossible to resist. Feel like this goes for most forms of percussion, too. In my view, they're the most "universal" instruments if that makes sense. Great vid lol.

[@SoloSlater]

Also goes for piano, especially if you already play it. I won’t play at home but will gladly play anywhere else

[@randybrown8872]

[@DollzGirl]

As a drummer I can confirm this is what we actually do when the guitarist is tuning.

[@ditto5071]

I'm surprised nobody understands how helpful and easy a tuner pedal is, drummer can go mad and it won't really matter

[@oneultro6457]

What is a tuner pedal?

[@phoenixfighter708]

@@oneultro6457A tuner pedal is a specific type of guitar pedal designed for the sole purpose of tuning and is, like all guitar pedals, connected between the instrument and the amp via its cable. Using a tuner pedal means that only your instrument will be picked up by the tuner, even if other instruments are being played in the room. Some are also extremely accurate, with the Peterson Strobe tuner pedals being accurate to within 0.1 cent. A number of people alternatively use a clip on tuner, which clamps to the headstock of the instrument, picking up the frequency of notes through the vibrations of your instrument. They are cheaper and more portable than a pedal but may pick up other instruments in a loud venue. The best clip on tuners will be accurate to +/- 1 cent (which is plenty accurate for most cases).

[@l4yzeee610]

@@oneultro6457 a pedal you can switch on or off which then shows the current note you're playing. Depending on the pedal and its output jacks, this then also mutes the guitar signal, enabling silent tuning in every environment

[@Emiliodrums1]

It's so hard not to play while your waiting bro 💀

[@Christandeathside]

I've had band mates ask me if I'm ok or on something or do I need to be on something just because I sat behind my kit and patiently waited for the rest of the band to tune and level check mics. The guitarist in that band just stared and started to reluctantly tuned as if I was about to start playing . Believe me , that's screws with a guitarist just as much as playing while they tune.

[@Emiliodrums1]

@@Christandeathside lol

[@TAZEROXFORD]

As a bassist with a pedal tuner, I never understood this since the signal is muted either way when you turn on the tuner. Then I played a gig with an acoustic guitar and this was painfully relatable

[@ph0end]

Also, lots of folk do one string with a tuner then tune the other strings off that one; probably a relic from when tuning forks were the norm, and because cheap headstock tuners seem to suck at certain notes, like low B. Either way when your drummer wants to be funny just start tuning with the amp turned to 11, that'll learn 'em.

[@yusufal-kafir1539]

If you want to experience something similar as a drummer, start playing an electronic kit with heaadphones on, and have someone just a few feet away open a chip bag, pour some chips onto a plate, curl the chip bag back up, and put the chip bag into a plastic shopping bag, and twist the shopping bag up a bunch of times to keep the chips fresh. It's like being accosted by a bunch of people with maraccas. Good Luck not getting annoyed or distracted.

The life of a drummer: I would break down my drum kit, lug it over to the practice venue, then set it up only to have the singer, guitarist, and bassist sit around getting stoned. The only way I could get them to come back and practice was to pick up their instruments and play them better than they did.

[@Christandeathside]

As a prominent drummer and also a bass player, I find myself tuning my bass while sitting behind my drum kit so I can kick the bass pedal while I'm tuning just to annoy the bass player side of me.

[@dantat5713]

[@Gregornmy]

isn't just the guitarist. as the bassist i literally can't play anything not in standard tuning because our drummer interrupts everyone

[@jimmypenrose1401]

I can relate to this...but then again I'm 58 years old. This was an actual issue when I was about the age of the guy in the video; these days most people just use a tuner, the very practical and inexpensive. Heck, Peterson Tuners make a great strobe tuner app for the iPhone; I think it's a whole $5.00. Then it doesn't matter how much noise the drummer makes between songs, but if he can't keep it in his pants between songs; it's probably best to find another drummer who can. NOTHING drives an audience away faster than a drummer noodling between songs.

They do that when the Great Grandfather is making his dying speech at a wedding to honor his Grandchild and the Groom while everyone is in tears. LOL I have a really funny story about a drummer, a really good one, who was going at it during our break at this small wedding at a real nice place. I was talking to the Mom of the Bride in the front of the Restaurant at least 3 rooms over all the while there was chatter from people at a medium noise level and I had on some break music, so there was a bit of ambient noise. As I was talking to her I could hear someone doing a John Bonham tribute solo and realized it was our drummer. That same wedding the keyboard player and his assistant roadie dressed in a white Wal Mart jogging suit whom i TOLD TO go outside 5 times drank 2 fifths of Crown. They were all hired guns and the last time I did that without my regular band. 2 of zedthe guys who were working with a touring act got their roadie to come in at the end to help pick up and it wasn't till we were all picked up I noticed the roadie took a bunch of nice flowers from the decorations which were certain;y not his to take I apologized after to the reception hall owner and threatened to throw one of them through this big plate glass window but it didn[t matter they were in la la land. Great musicians too, seasoned, and unrehearsed that sounded great even through all that shit LOL Of course I was the bad guy after all was said and done. This band failed to stay together.....lol
