Last month I shared a video by Paul Baloche on “choosing a bass player“. Here’s another video with him explaining what he looks for when choosing a drummer. Some quotes that stood out to me:
“It’s better to have no drummer than to have a bad drummer.”
“You’re looking at the heart and you’re looking at the skill… anytime you’re looking to pick a musician.”
“It’s easier to add to a team than to undo a team.”
“I’m amazed by how many people have said ‘oh man, this dude is such a good drummer’ and then I hear them and it’s like they don’t do the number one thing a drummer is created for and that is to keep good time.”
