I'm in a band and we all switch instruments every song. The perks of being multi-instrumentalists, every song has a different style.

I don't get it

>>72402487
Bands are always looking for drummers because most people who play an instrument play guitar or play bass if they suck at real guitar

>any sort of knowledge which can lead to the fact that music exists

>>72402545
You can literally pick up anyone from the street to be a drummer.
808, hi hat, snare, claps. You're done

>>72402573
I meant a drummer who can play an instrument >>72402573

>>72400872
so every song is shit?

>>72400872
>multi-instrumentalists
>I can't play my instrument well so I'll just play a bunch of them decently

>>72400872
do yourself a favor and stick to one instrument and get really fucking good at it. no need to be mediocre at everything if your can be great at one thing.

>>72402587
Then that applies to literally fucking everyone. You need to be good at bass to play good bass or spectacular to play spectacular. Same way you can have a mediocre drummer or guitarist.
Besides, songwriting abilities elevate themselves far above playing skill any day.

Not that guy but,
>implying you can't be good at everything
If you know the theory then all you need is the muscle memory.

The two instruments are greatly different from each other, with their own unique challenges depending on the genre you play. IMO both are reasonably challenging and have their obstacles.

Dude, it's not a meme. It's just a fact of life that bass players = shitty guitarists. A bass is just a guitar for retarded children.

If you aren't good enough for lead you play rhythm or bass
This is not a meme

desu if I met someone who was in a band I'd assume by default that they're a pleb and have shit taste regardless of their instrument of choice. But maybe that's due to living in Australia,

>>72404100
That is my experience, at least with local bands. They tend to just suck ass universally.

>>72404100
i guess ur not in melbourne then

>>72403501
I'm a decent guitarist and I've always been shit on bass, can barely keep time.

Keep telling yourself that's the way of things, lol

>>72403962
Kek, yeah it is. This might be true for some crap band that doesn't know how to use a bassist or anyone else for that matter, but any ensemble actually worth anything employs skilled instrumentalists of bass, rhythm, lead, percussion, and so on and does so effectively.
Lrn 2 music feg, put the memes down.

T. Doesn't understand music

>>72403501
If you're in a band where this is true, the music you're playing is probably shit enough that calling the bassist's ability into question is probably putting the cart before the horse.
