the role of the drummer

not to pat myself on tha back, but i am a seasoned "percussionist" and have for years followed the known protocol that a professional of such an occupation should follow.

most people would say the role of the drummer is limited to keeping tempo and making sure the rhythm is dynamic...in other words, compliment what the rest of the group is doing.
but most people forget that you should also:

1) wear makeup

i think the Ultimate Warrior makeup showed my stringent devotion to the letter of the drummer's law (note the very rock n' roll wooden name sign).

2) have one arm having kept all my appendages, i've never been able to acheive this level of awesome, but i did frequently wear tanktops and sport a flawless "wave" hairstyle, while playing A drum and A cymbal.
3) be classically ancient, aka 113 years old
4) have head to toe fur, a unibrow, no upper teeth and only 7 bottom teeth and wear a chain
i couldn't really make these things happen either, but i did play Unskinny Bop at a church talent show with my band STEEL IMAGE. that's gotta be good for something


but nobody maximizes the role of the drummer like the gentleman below.
