Drummers are awesome. Their ability to use every limb of their body to create syncopation and energy is astounding. A seasoned drummer with finesse and dynamics can take a song from meh to amazing!

Of course they do have their quirks and downfalls to us guitar/vocalists. Their high volume and massive footprint create such a confined space in a mix and on a stage that it is easy to become annoyed… but then again we aren’t perfect either. Our quest for perfect tones and tendency to push tempo can drive a drummer to their breaking point. We noodle, we tune and retune, we switch out gear, we sometimes use their gear as a platform to jump off of… I mean… I can see we have our issues too.

But what are the drummer's pet peeves about guitar players? Do we even care? What are the guitar players' pet peeves about a drummer? Do they even care? Could we have the same issues with each other? Is it okay to tell them to stop it? Are these issues even solvable? And… collections… John said he owns how many drum sets and how many guitars?

Well we will discuss this, and more on this group therapy session with John, on the Tweed Couch.
