Drummers make the world a better place.

This may be a surprising statement to some. I am quite sure it is actual truth, though. You could easily find any rock band to back me up on this statement(though it might be a qualified 'drummers that show up' make the world a better place) but that is sort of like asking a dentist if it is good to brush your teeth... not very compelling evidence, to say the least.

Q: What is a drummers primary responsibility?
A: To competently manage time and share some of its subdivisions in a way that is interesting.


Q: Where does time come from?
A: God. Therefore drummers are sort of like emissaries for God, teaching us how to better use that which God has given us, and looking cool all the while.


Q: How does this make the world a better place?
A: It brings you from one place to another with consistency and purpose. This example of efficiency and flair, if applied to everyday life experiences, would make all sorts of life challenges much better in almost every way.

I think my logic chain is sound. I could be totally biased by my experience as a bass player in a band, though, so I would not fault anybody for recognizing my bias and writing this whole opinion off as a vulgar farse... but that still does not mean it is not true... because it is.
