Queasy
If the guitaring is way more complex I feel normal.
However when the guitaring is more complex than the drumming, a profound anxiety comes upon me, I start to feel disconnected from the world around me
I don't understand this at all. We all have our roles to play in a band.
Some songs require more complex guitar work, some more complex drum work - why is there a problem either way?
Totally depends on context. The song should determine who does what. For example, it seems like the drum parts are usually more complex with Meshuggah and the guitar work is more complex in Van Halen (just two examples that popped into my head). It isn't a competition where 'our' team (meaning us drummers) scores points when we get more complicated than the 'opposing' team (guitar players).how do you feel when the drumming is way more complex then the guitars in a song or ur band or whatever? or when the guitaring is way more complex?
the way i meant this question was
the laymen who listen to your music
they would say guitars were good
drummer sucked or vice versa
in that context how would you feel
Seems to me like you are thinking on the wrong track here. First of all, the boring drumming thing, it's all in your mind.
In your mind, boring = repetitive, right?
If you answered yes above...this is a known pitfall. The second you think your drumming is boring, you are just about to mess up your groove to stave off "boredom". This is just wrong, you are NEVER boring. Remove the word from you vocabulary. Repetition is essential to craft a groove. You are not a lead instrument so stop thinking like one. Learn to embrace "boring". It's not boring at all, your mistake is that you think it is. You are shooting your own foot.
Actually the OP never mentioned the word boring, I kind of inferred that myself, my bad. dtrushr30DW is the one who actually mentioned the word boring. That word always spurs me to action. Sorry to the OP. I took it like you may be thinking the same thing, meaning you think you're boring..
I still stand by what I said though, even if it doesn't apply to you.
I hate when I hear an insane guitarist playing in a band and the drums are super boring.
