I’m in 2 bands at the moment, but have played in many over the years.
I’m not a great drummer, but ok. One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that I’ve always felt like a less important band member. I don’t sing, so I’m not involved with discussions about the key or chord patterns.
I really don’t mean to come off as needy, but it seems like I’m respected as a drummer, but that the drummer is a less important band member. It seems especially evident when selecting songs or deciding on revised formats for songs.
I think my contribution is significant, as my funky grooves get people dancing.
Just an observation, but not a big deal...
