Who else is mainly a drummer but plays other instruments?
I have a simple philosophy that would make the world a better place ...
ALL DRUMMERS SHOULD PLAY A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT AND ALL MUSICIANS SHOULD PLAY DRUMS.
It would make communication so much better. I'm often appalled at drummers who can't hear section changes and what's worse -- is musicians who tell drummers things like "Play biddy boom bat splash or something, I don't know I'm not a drummer." Idiots! ALL musicians need to understand time and rhythm. And the best ones do.
And the best drummers know music.
And here's a little example of the drummer being a "one man rhythm section."

I can honestly say, since learning other instruments, I practice drums less and play them better.
Food for thought.
So...what else do you play? And how are you coming along?
