Going to jam with a drummer for the first time
    #14851922 - 07/31/11 02:21 PM (12 years, 6 months ago)

Never jammed with a drummer - I've played with a few guitar players, but never a drummer.  I'm pumped.  Still no bassist, but hell it's gonna be awesome.

I'll report back later.  Peace pubbers.

Jamming with a drummer is perfect for getting your timing down, well that and letting your own musical voice speak.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Throw a bassist in there and it's like fucking sex on a bun.

I've only jammed with a drummer once before. Myself on guitar, friend on bass and of course the drummer.
Improv jams are the shit:rasta:

As a (former) drummer, make sure if you're leading you keep some sort of rhythm for him to follow. If there's a bass, it doesn't matter as much but if you're leading, the drummer needs something. I've jammed with a lot of guitarists and the biggest complaint I have is they'll try playing something that has no rhythm/time signature/anything and it's fairly hard to come up with a part on the spot.

Either way, good vibes your way.

I played a ton of bass guitar back in high school, and rarely ever jammed with a drummer, but when I did it was:awesome:

Also "skips" between chord changes might fly with other guitarists, but not with drummers. The most frustrating thing ever is when I'm trying to jam and they just get half a beat off for no reason. Totally fucks it up.

If you can't make the chord transition smoothly, don't do it or allow yourself more time to do so.
