Best way to remove the drummer?

How to get rid of a drummer:

Get some cigarette papers and roll a big fake joint.

Say "Hey, Todd, let's go outside and smoke a fatty!"

He'll follow you outside. Light up the fake joint, then flip it out into the street in front of a bus.

Bye bye drummer!

HAHAHAHAHAHAH OMFG

Fair go Marley, you owe a proper re-cap.

I'll be honest. I clicked this thread because the username of the OP was familiar. I didn't realise until afterwards that this post was basically 10 years old.

That said, in my experience, I wouldn't necessarily drop somebody just because someone else better came up. The ska band I'm currently in, it's just me and the drummer that are the original members. I know there's better drummers (and I know there's better bassist!) but there's no way he's going anywhere at this point as long as I'm there. We got this way by moving on and moving up in the past when other members were either fired or moved away.

That said, I have a funk/rock band I'm also apart of and we're all original members for the past 5 years or so.

The key is if you're happy where you are and if you feel like you're still learning from the environment you're in. I'm not big into the social "dude you guys rocked! your band was soooo good" bs fake-ness that comes with gigging regularly but in the real day-to-day stuff, I do like to take away some new interesting stuff with each rehearsal with one of my bands each time if possible. As long as we're all growing in some aspect I'm happy.

That said, I'm in my late 20s now and playing music is definitely a hobby and not paying my bills. Sure we make money, but that's just extra cash for the week.

LOL - asking specific questions about a 10 year old thread? I don't even remember who that drummer was. You guys are killing me.

But could he sing?
