Personalities of drummer, guitarist, bassist etc.. :)

[Demon]

So, it really does seem that players of different instruments seem to have a certain personality.. so how is it?
What ive catched up..
Drummers: Immature and stupid to be short but fun^^
So what about the rest, tell some stories or jokes

[Woodchuck]

Bassists: There's something wrong with everyone......but us.

[Tony G]

I agree with both of the above.

guitarists: think everything they play is perfect.

[Alvaro Martín Gómez A.]

It's been said that, inside that fauna that makes the symphonic orchestra, you can find the best sense of humor among the double bass players, while the bitterest personalities are among the French horn players.

[Marcus]

My stereotype of bassists: suave introverts that mack well

[Suckbird]

Bassists: They care more about what instruments they play than actually how they play, should spend more time on actually practice bass playing instead of talking about it... always trying to convince themself that they are the most important band member..
always talk bad bad about guitar players, drummers and singers because they get more attention... usually the least talented band member...

bass players = bitches

That's because they're French.

Drummer = impulsive, physical, extroverted, party animal
Bassist = quiet, reserved, introverted, soulful
Keyboardist = traditional, conventional, educated
Guitarist = intense, perfectionist, needy
Singer = exhibitionist, narcissistic
Accordionist = wears loud polka-dot ties

bassist - introverted, quiet, soulful, on time, organized
lead instrument (keys or guitar) - thinks there the best and right all the time, very self-conscious, hard to work with, selfish, disorganized
drummer - LATE all the time, critical of others, not a musician

[Bassmanbob]

Saxophonist: Wants to be the center of attention. Never met one who didn't.

In an orchestra:

string section drinks tea and eats salad before a performance

brass section drink beer and have a steak before a performance

woodwinds eat chicken or fish before a performance

I witnessed this as a kid. It was one of the most interesting things I've seen in music

[burntgorilla]

Drummer - exceptionally annoying, whiney, makes impossible demands, doesn't give notice, is amazed not everyone is obsessed about drums.

Or do I just have an annoying one?

[Zachass]

In the orchestra setting
-DOuble bassists are always goofing off and have the best sense of humor followed by the cellists who are usually shamelessly encouraging the antics of the bassists.
The violins are the prima donnas who usually think they are better than they are, and have the second worse time in the orchestra. Violas seem to have the best looking women in the orchestra, they know their instrument is a half cocked violin and their parts suck, so they usually are seen joking around/flirting with the cellists. Violas don't really know how to count so are consistenly lost, or following the basses at the wrong tempo.

[chaosMK]

Drummer= Has no job

[QzarBaron]

Drummers = not the smartest people in the world... every good drummer I know of is failing school. But thats probably becuase they sepend all day playing drums.

[chaosMK]

Drummer= Primative, uneducated.

[fretless Bob]

what is wrong with all of you people the drummer should be your best friend!

HEY! i'm a saxophone player!...and i totally agree with you, lol. that's a very true statement

[ebe9]

pet peeve was one keyboardist in particular.................

Keyboardist: Egomaniac, in the right and never wrong, doodling non stop

[Lord Henry]

In my current band:

Drummer = Nicest guy I've ever met. Brilliant 'give it a go' attitude. I first met him at Uni. A mate and I wanted to start a band and we couldn't find a drummer. The first words out of his mouth were "I'll give it a go" (He'd never played before, now he's great. This is our third band together).

Guitarist = Cocky, alcoholic, tends to be at the centre of stuff going wrong. Great guy to drink with, but you wouldn't trust him with either your wallet or your girlfriend. Has to put a solo in every song: not for him, but 'the music needs it'. Tend to be the last to arrive at a practice.

Singer = Laid back to the ponit of coma. Spends most of a practice pottering around and chain smoking. Does help with carrying things though.

Me = Cocky, alcoholic, tends to be on the periphary of stuff going wrong laughing my ass off at the guitarist. Second most likely to be late to a practice.

[metalguy2]

I think everything I have heard about drummers is basically true. Singers as well! But I think that that whole guitar player thing is blown way out of proportion guys! Common now.. The bass is a low end guitar! All the guitar players I have met are exactly like me. They have the same goals as I do in a recording session. "Hey lets get the guitars to sound frikken bad ass! And lets make the bass sound bad ass too."

All the drummer was ever interested in was making his drums sound good.
