Generally speaking, music that doesn't have drums, I don't have much interest in. As a musician, that's a pretty close minded statement to make, and I will own that, but I have to be honest here. There are huge exceptions. Classical and Bluegrass, I love and can listen to. But for example acoustic guitar with a singer/songwriter..OK some of it is good...and I can hang with it, but it doesn't excite me. Drums really are responsible for the excitement of a song, for me.
I was asked to get a cajon for some very low volume acoustic gigs. I declined, stating that if I can't play a kick drum, I really have no interest in drumming with my hands only. I'd rather play bass guitar, which I really don't know.
I need that kick drum in music to excite me. Hey, I need the snare and ride/hats too, but the main gist is music without drums is kinda ho hum for me, with a few exceptions. Just wondering on what the global community thinks about this.
