Keeping it together

[Bolwevil]

For me the thing that makes the blues, "THE BLUES" is that beat. The driving bottom end that you feel inside even before you ever actually hear any of the notes being played. Not because both guitars have twin Marshal stacks turned up to 11 either. It has nothing to do with volume at all. It's simply an integral part of this type of music. There just aint no gettin away from it, whether it's amped up or unplugged the beat is always there!   
Which brings me to my point. In a blues band the job of holding that bottom end down and keeping it together falls onto the team of the drummer and bass player. Yes, IT IS A TEAM EFFORT/COLLABORATION. If the bass and drums don't know how to work with each other and well, it doesn't matter how much talent is on that stage, the whole thing is going to fall apart pretty quickly. A crap rythm section will take the whole thing right down the dumper especially at a jam. Conversely if the drums and bass are really tight and work well together some mistakes on a jam stage can go almost unoticed. The most important thing is to not drop the beat and it takes both halves of the rythm section to make sure that don't happen! 



Any drummers out there reading this. I'd love to hear your thoughts about it too!!

Good Post ..... and I agree. As a guitarist who plays a lot of lead/solo's ... I need a solid foundation under my feet for me to be able to improv on top of. Regarding the "BLUES" ... it all comes down to feel and most people seem to forget that and instead lean on heavy distortion and all sorts of tricks.

Goot post Bolwevil and you're right .... where are the drummers with their comments??
