'WHAT?' You must be thinking? Drummers have better brains? Well, this could all be very true! But we want to know what your mind speaks!

(We are sorry to cause offence to drummers-no offence...)

Personaly I think that pianists have better brains than drummers. tongue.gif

Well they certainly need to be able to mutlitask. There's no way I'd ever be able to remember which drum to hit when and use the foot pedals at the same time. They need to follow 2 or 3 different rhythms on different drums at the same time! huh.gif Too confusing for me! But then I suppose drummers think that pianists are really clever for playing with two hands and using various pedals.

(edit: didn't see your post Voltron. I've said something similar.)

Well being a pianist myself I have to agree... tongue.gif But then again, my friend here who plays drums (and piano, she'd like to state) thinks she has a bigger brain then all of us...she needs to meet her true self... biggrin.gif

I'd say organists are even more mentally taxed than pianists, reading 3 staves = ohmy.gif

Drummers can make or break a band though, you can get away with a mediocre bass player or guitarist, but the drummer really pulls it all together in a rock/metal band at least.

Drumming has the added bonus of burning lots of calories too!

Not in my case, my family's going to make a band and the drummer's really musicaly talented... but so are the rest of us. smile.gif
