Really?!

How I have always thought of it: Drummers are engines. Bass players are transmissions. Everybody else is sheet metal formed into attractive (one hopes) shapes. Everyone looks at the car, but nothing moves without us. The bass/drum relationship is supposed to be cooperative, not adversarial.

I’ll show myself to the door, thanks anyway.:D
 
As a drummer primarily, I play bass, guitar, & keyboards too. This continual nonsense of bashing....you know all the names you use! It’s barely humorous. Grow the f up and think about what it takes to be a better player. And a team player. Bands are a dime a dozen. Either you’re happy with your situation or walk away. Communication is the key! I’ve played with some incredibly talented musicians and some that had minimal experience. You can’t go wrong with either - assuming the passion ia there!
