Drummers are the most important part of the band. They are engines of order to reign in the chaos that is, frankly, everyone else.
I’ve been in bands. Usually as Lead/Rhythm guitar and/or songwriter. It’s a weird dynamic.
The drummer makes or breaks the music, not anyone else.
The singer, once everything else is sorted, brings the audience. (Which is why they always get to name the band. Total crap.)
