Allo guys,,I have been in lots of time having to play only as a trio instead of a quartet! When we are four ,base,piano,drums and tenor(soprano),the group is reall great,and lots of times,the base can't make it for different reasons!Base player are impossible to findover here a small town!So when we are only three,I feel that the drummer is just more in the way,and also gets on my nerve for some other reasons!So I was thinking of playing only as a duo on gigs,If the base is not there.Without the base it is so empty,but with the drum without the base it is even more strange! I keep telling the keyboard guy that we should play only as a duo whenever the baseman is'nt there!
What are your thoughts? The drummer is not exactly doing his practice,as he should too,cause I wish he would play with brushes,and change his style also,,since the first day I have been giving him cds with jazz drummer player,,but he never practices them ,or keeps on the same style and similar beats!!!!What do you think about this??
All the best,
