Drummer in my last band pulled this. I play by 'feel' .
I could feel he was off, I could feel the songs didn't work or the parts weren't right.
Fundamentally bad timing.
I've been lucky in that the majority of drummers i have played with have been excellent. The comment re staying poor is correct IMHO. I played in a situation with a poor drummer who was so deluded by others claiming he was good, went on a two years paid course as a drummer and came back no better.
Operating an instrument is only one aspect. All of the poor drummers I played with had good limb independence and kept time ok, however they didnt feel the music or play anything approaching what was required by it and/or had no dialogue or telepathy. You couldnt f them up with syncopation cos they were not listening.
All of the good ones had a practice kit or practive room with one exception and he played 3 times a week with our band and was in two more.
Drummers don't have to play to clicks.
Bands don't have to record to a click.
But the do have to be on time.
Seems to have worked for them over the years, who knows one day they might be big.
