If you listen to a lot of old funk records, the drums are really small. But you don't perceive it like that because the groove is so heavy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Drums usually seem to tune themselves.
It's really important for the bass and the drums to somehow blend.
Drums just always sounded like the most fun part of that good music for me.
I don't think drums had ever sounded so big until Led Zeppelin's first album.
Drums all have their own particulars - each drum has a place where they sound the best - where they ring out and resonate the best, and the head surface isn't too loose or too tight, mainly so you get a good rebound off of the head.
You get this really cool groove when you're playing just piano, bass, and drums where everyone's sort of feeling each other's space, which is the only way to put it, but it really is true, and everyone's sort of sitting in their own pocket. It's kind of jazz-like.
I love drums and still play frequently.
I just love a slow groove. I feel so comfortable in it. But I listen to a lot of fast music, a lot of techno and house.
It's harder to play drums than guitar, physically. I'm always kind of on the edge. I guess that's how I play everything: on the edge of my ability.
The drums are about gravity. Your hand naturally falls down on the drums as you hit them.
