Drummers stick together. When several bands play on the same bill, it's pretty much guaranteed it will be the drummers who hang out together the quickest and easiest. Why? Because we have so much to talk about!
But seriously, we learn from each other and tend to respect each other's different approaches to playing.
The bond between drummers is, sadly, illustrated today by the tributes paid by the widow of John Blackwell Jr, former drummer with Prince, who has succumbed to cancer.
She lists among those who have given their support and friendship: Gregg Bissonette, Dennis Chambers, Antonio Sánchez, Billy Cobham, Chad Smith and Natalie Depergola.
Great drummers and great hearts.
