I recently went back out on the road and bought a Modern Drummer publication "The Drummer Classis Rock" to read during the trip. I do recommend this, especially to the younger drummers here, as it has a guide in the back of the 50 classic rock albums. In this magazine, there is a sub-article titled "The Journeyman" with the opening paragraph of "These players make a career in the studio and tour by expertly reading a musical situation, providing what's needed and, when the time is right, moving on to the next gig."
So.....Which drummer are you - the Jouneyman or the band member? What are your likes and dislikes? Do you ever see yourself changing to the other or have you already? BTW the names under Jouneyman drummers were Carmine Appice, Cozy Powell, Aynsley Dunbar, Simon Phillips, Tommy Aldridge. Under the band member are the usual suspects of Ringo, Charlie Watts, John Bonham, Neil Peart, Mick Fleetwood and Alex Van Halen - the guys we normally associate with one band.
