The drummer is the backbone of the band and is the real underrated one.

In New Order, I played about 95% of the synths. It's not much fun for the other guys in the band when I'm playing my synth parts.

You spend more time with your fellow band members than your girlfriend or wife, and you end up at each other's throats. It happens to all bands.

I was a groupie for a year and followed a band. I dated the drummer of the band.

I can't begin to tell you what a difficult job it is to replace your drummer in this band.

But primarily, the drummer's supposed to sit back there and swing the band.
