- 1. (drummer) (761↑, 108↓)A drummer is someone who gets a lot of stereotypes. People assume that Drummers are dumb people with no musical talent. When in reality, drums are the backbone of most music. Drummers keep time and keep the beat going. Drummers also do have a lot of musical talent. It takes a lot of coordination to be a good drummer. They also have to be able to feel the music. And yes I am a drummer :-P
Dumbass: haha you're just a stupid drummer with no talent. Drummer: Oh yeah you try playing the drums Dumbass: Ahh crap i can't do it. Well you're still dumb. Drummer: Which is why you're failing more classes than me right?

Without this godlike creature there would be no rythem to the music and havoc would incurr. Plays with the precise action that only a master craftsman can obtain. Thats right, with sticks. Only people with the right personality combination can become a drummer. That person blessed will also probably have to owm some sort of 'kit' to play with. And although guitarists are cool, there're one-hundred a penny. Sadly.Dom Howard is drummer. He's lovely.

Author: kimbo http://drummer.urbanup.com/1685506. (drummer) (292↑, 32↓)A drummer is a person who belongs in a band, and along with the bassist, tends to be unappreciated. As the prime majority of the "band curse" the drummer is ususally the first member of a band to leave or be kicked out. Usually responsible for keeping beat and band in line. Without a drummer, the band is lost.Guitarist: I'm so cool Ive got straigt F's and I don't know how to read my music, but i'm the best known and the richest. Singer: I'm not so cool I can read music but dont play and insturment, I am pretyer than the guitarist. Bassist: No one knows my name but me and the drummer are best freinds and the band depends on us to keep them on the right line. Drummer: Me and the bassist pay the bills, find the gigs, and are never given any credit for being in the band.

We have the set, cymbals, hardwere, pedals, mikes and a bunch of other stuff. (2) We cannot move around on stage. (3) Sticks are to drums as strings are to bass and guitar. Only these things break ALOT easier. But other then that. We rule.Drummers CAN read music.
Author: saveyourbfbangme http://drummer.urbanup.com/18378239. (drummer) (151↑, 25↓)A drummer is THE most vital member of any band. A drummer keeps the pulse of the band, and basically makes all the non-musical guitarists look good so they can all say 'yeah, we're fucken ace' when they're actually, not. A drummer plays the drums (duh)and actually IS a musician, contrary to popular belief. Calling any musician a drummer is often taken as an insult, altho the drummer is in fact the cleverest musicianGuitarist: Hey guys, why are drummers always so stupid? Drummer: So then 'Bob', what time dya need me 2 help ya wiv that work? Guitarist: Err, shut up. I'm such a rocker. I'm like, hardcore. You don't even play a tuned instrument Drummer: actually, i've passed my grade 5 theory of music, and my grade 6 piano. And, I can keep time Bassist: Haha. Bob got ripped there.

Author: King Of Yesterday http://drummer.urbanup.com/247066411. (drummer) (147↑, 35↓)Drummers are the hardest position in a band to fill, and keep filled. A good drummer is hard enough to find, but a good drummer who is also responsible and committed enough to be in a working band is rare. Many good drummers are just flakes, or crazy, or un-reliable. Hey, they hit things all day, right? Conversely, many responsible drummers are just not good. There is something in the raw talent to play the drums that also makes a person a little crazy, more so than other musicians. So, if you find a good drummer who is actually responsible, hold onto that guy\!My band is currently on our 5th drummer. The first one was a jerk, the second one got arrested, the third one went crazy, and the fourth one got married and had kids. This 5th one seems cool, though.
Author: daveb http://drummer.urbanup.com/134828712. (drummer) (91↑, 9↓)Someone who plays the drums. Male drummers are commonly looked upon negatively by most other males, and positively by females. Oddly enough, though, these females who are in to drummers rarely act on their compulsion. As for female drummers, they are too rarely in the public eye to get accurate statistics. Also, drummers are notorious for being in as little clothing as one can possibly get away with at any given time. Many believe this to be due to the extreme effort put forth by a good drummer, as they get quite hot and sweaty, also one possible reason for the female reaction, but this theory is discredited by the common case in which this anti-clothing behavior is carried over in to offstage life, such as public appearances and music videos. (see Tony Kanal, of No Doubt)There are many who would speculate wether this anti-clothing behavior carries over to females as well, but there is presently very little available data on the subject. For the most part, female drummers are known to behave like farely normal women, only recieving the personality traits of a drummer and little of the outward behavior. This is mostly speculation, though, for, as was said, there is little data on the subject.Though there is little data on the subject, I'm sure Data would love to be all over some female drummers.
Author: D351 http://drummer.urbanup.com/221856813. (drummer) (83↑, 16↓)a drummer is one underated musician who plays the drumkit, and is part of the rythm section along with the equally underated bassist. The drummer holds the beat down, and the rest of band use him to keep time. Without him the entire band would collapse, although he never gets any credit for this. Drummers are stereotypically portrayed as moronic, ugly, stupid non-musicians, but this is not always true. (Sometimes it si though.) In reality, the worst thing most drummers have ever done to anyone is the live drum solo, almost as bad as the live bass solo, but most drummers steer clear of this.guitarist- 'ahaha, you're a drummer, youre stupid and cant read music\!' singer- 'ahaha as well\! you dumb me beautiful\!' bassist- 'screw you two, the drummers my best friend\!' drummer- 'im the one who organises gigs, provides the transport, cooks the food...etc. and keeps time for this entire band of numbskulls who can barely follow a bloody mertonome\!' guitarist- 'ahaha, you dumb\!' drummer- 'sigh'

Author: hello you http://drummer.urbanup.com/320924416. (drummer) (54↑, 18↓)Someone who can kick ass behind a drum set and stir up excitement in an audience. A drummer can rock you or soothe you, depending on the song. A gentle song needs a drummer that can create a happy flow. Often real drummers make people want to jump up and dance. Drummers play a full set of rock drums: at least one snare, at least 2 tom toms and one or 2 floor toms, 3 or more cymbals, plus a high-hat and a bass drum. More of any can be added any time. Chimes, gongs, orchestral bells and cowbells have also seen some pretty hard-hitting from drummers. There are some drummers that could be called drummers that play other styles of music than rap and rock, but they tend to be rare. Like, is Charlie Watts really a drummer when he plays jazz – give me a break. Altho drummers don't always practice, they remain true to a genuine spirit of hard-hitting cooperation with other members of their bands, driving them ahead. They are also influenced by the music coming from other instruments and incorporate it into the overall experience, hence helping to shape the music. This is why other members of the band should always play well, since they are influencing the drummer. Drummers have the Power of Rock 'n' Roll at their command.We went to see Trail of Death (or some new band in town) and the drummer kicked ass\!

Author: Greenday_AllDay http://drummer.urbanup.com/158355218. (drummer) (36↑, 5↓)A musician that plays any type of percussive instrument, though the connotation of the word has developed around the drum kit, which is often played in a variety of musical styles such as rock, jazz, blues, country, punk, and metal. Many stereotypes exist concerning the drummer both as a person and as a musician. The primary two are that drummers are unintelligent and that their instrument requires the least skill to play. Both of these are unfounded, as the drum kit is a completely different type of instrument than something such as the [guitar], being percussive as opposed to musical. Thus, the skills required for a guitar and the skills required for drums are not comparable, though both instruments are highly difficult. In a typical band, the drummer serves to create the basic beat for the song, with the bassist providing a connection between the musicality and the percussion (e.g. the guitar/singing and the drums) that allows the band to sound in sync. Most often located in the back of the stage on a raised platform, the drummer often is left out of the spotlight, hence the frequent claim that drummers are underrated and unappreciated. Nevertheless, they remain the backbone of most styles of music, and are indispensable in a band. Some famous drummers include Keith Moon of The Who, Neil Peart of Rush, Ginger Baker of Cream, and Terry Bozzio of The Mothers of Invention, though these are only a few.That guy is a drummer? Wow, just observing his level of awesomeness makes me feel terrible as a human being.

(drummer) (26↑, 11↓)people who are responsible for driving the beat in the band. drummers appear usually in two forms. first theres the naturally talented, good headed drummer with alot to contribute and minimal bitching, this can go either way with the stereotype of being under appreciated. secondly theres the drummer that is very talented yet cant stop bitching and complaining about how much work they do and how expensive equipment is. this type will go on forever about how much drum equipment costs and how they have the most stuff to haul and will pester the shit out of you with all of these facts that you really dont care about. these guys give drummers a bad name and are responsible for the asshole stereotype. most common in death metal drummers.guitar player: ok lets do that again from the top drummer \#2: dude youre not the one that has to play is man its like im using my whole body to play it and its hard and do you know how expensive these heads are? it costs me like 5 dollars every time i play a song and....... guitar player: fuck it
Author: sylterria http://drummer.urbanup.com/302583823. (drummer) (61↑, 50↓)Drummer's are the most important people in any kind of musical ensemble- they keep the beat and usually sport amazingly sexy hair. However, even though this concept hasn't been documented yet in urban dictionary, drummers are, unfortunately (or fortunately; whatever) the band members who usually agree to give head. So they are, in effect, the knob-jobs of the musical world- hence why so many women fans are crazy about drummers. Drummers are usually male, but female variation do occur.person A- "check out that fit drummer and his [sexy] [hair]" person B- "huh? AH yes, i see him now. What a stud\! He keeps the beat very well." person A- "yes, you're right. I reckon he'd give me head" person B- "why yes\! I completely agree with you. I feel like some knob job too.

Author: coheedpowerx3 http://drummer.urbanup.com/382321626. (Drummer) (4↑, 1↓)a person who plays the drums usu. a drum kit. It is a common misconception that drummers are unintelligent and have no musical ability whatsoever. They get alot of flak from guitarists about not having tuned instruments. this is because drums are a percussive intrument rather than a melodic instument. but they can be tuned, personally i have my toms tuned to a perfect fourth in acending order starting from the floor tom. The problem with saying that drummers have no musical ability is that though we have no moving melodic structure we do have "notes". these notes can and usually are written on a staff with the lowest line or E (treble clef) representing the bass drum and the middle line or B (treble clef) representing the snare the remaining lines and spaces are normally reserved for toms while the Ledger lines and spaces above F are used in conjunction with Xs and stars for cymbals. drummers do indeed drive the band as the heart beat and "time machine" of the band. though often disrespected and unappreciated the drummer sits in the back with a smile on his face knowing that without him the band would be screwed. P.s i also play guitar, piano, bass, and im a vocalist, so suck on that people who say we arent musiciansguitarist: lol ur such a noob for playing drums ur not a musician at all drummer:Ok do you realize that you were playing an ascending Phrygian mode during your solo while it would have made more melodic sense to play a descending Mixolidian Guitarist: what the hell is a Ascending Phrygian mode Drummer: exactly........im going to go hang with the bassist and talk about music theory while practicing rudiments Guitarist: what are rudiments Drummer: lol fag............
