The breakup was decided BEFORE the drummer sent the email?
I would have hit delete on that email and paid it no more mind.

I don't care for 410 cabinets at all.
Reminds me of an old drummer who, while he was messing up the timing of a Beatle cover told me "dude, i'm the drummer, you're just the bassist, so you need to follow me." He was promptly told that for me to follow him he would have have to play correctly, and the band dissolved shortly thereafter.
These threads are good for a chuckle for a few obvious is reasons. I'm glad I've been able to mostly avoid these types lately.
Having that kind of email flying back and forth between band members is bad enough. I had a drummer/BL once that would send that kind of incomprehensible rant to our booking agency! He was in his late 40's at the time too. I couldn't run fast enough...
OP, glad you're out of the situation.

You will have to file a claim with the drummer's union. Please use toilet paper and crayola crayons, crumple in a ball and send via catapult.
Your ex-drummer needs to get together with my ex-guitar player and discuss the finer points of spelling, grammar, and linguistics. Here are the last couple of emails that Shakespeare has sent us (verbatim)...
I couldn't help myself, so I responded that, yes, a few drag queens left early when they realized he wasn't in the band anymore.

Hey F****** That redo by the recording f**s are Hiddious by the way after that next Job we will see what you have and I am playing music and have and will have more than abunch of no good players like you and that about equipment I have better than you will ever have if any body can play bass it anit you Peewee
Wow. That was awful.
As soon as someone goes into the "my gear is more expensive/better than your so I'm a better player" argument, their opinion is completely worthless in my eyes. What a sore loser.
Sounds like a pretty good reason to cancel practice to me. Lol. Heck. Can't the band practice without him once in a while. We practice even though a member can't make it. You can always work on harmonies.
I'm not even going to bother to refute his ridiculous assertions.
Yep, better to have this meltdown before the band started gigging then after.
