My band is full of lame ass including myself.
I love this statement haha. I think that a lot of times that drummers are the most difficult to replace in any band because their equipment is so much more expensive than anyone else's and also requires the most setup time. I know that when we gigged out, I just set up my bass on a stand, did a quick sound check that consisted of me just hitting the high and low end of it, then switched off and went and got a beer. The drummer, well he was there for a really long time putting everything together. The time was cut back a lot when we scaled down his kit and convinced him to get a rack system, but it was still so much longer than the rest of us.
I mean no offense with this dude, but you and your bandmates are old haha. Being hip and fun is a young man's game but at least you are still gigging!
I'm delighted you read it twice. :)
