The Difficulties of Being the Drummer.

Showing up late: Firstly, I’ve started showing up late for band rehearsals. Now, why do I do this, you may ask? Well... when I arrive on time, I'm always waiting for the band to set up and get their instruments tuned and the right tone or keyboard sound. This always takes way too long for some reason. WHY IS IT SO LONG?

What are they talking about? Sometimes, the melodic instruments start to learn their parts during the rehearsal, teaching and talking to each other in another language. Like, what on earth is the 5th tonic chord of the B-minor moving to the 7th? Like what the huh who do what? So, what do I do during this long, painstaking period? Well, I certainly don’t play on the drums while they are talking, unlike most drummers. Instead, I whip out the angry birds, Pokémon Go, or Clash of Clans and patently await the conclusion of their gibberish.
