BASS WORKING WITH THE DRUMMER



Bass guitar for the drum is like "meat for the bone".
Gives harmonics, helps on extension and strenght.

Drummers study music listening to the bass line - and normally are very friends.

REMEMBER: in different volumes (dynamics), slowing, running or blowing up with everything.... bassist and drummers keep the pace.

Listen to the drums.
Never loose a tonic beat with your drummer.
It means consistency. Think deeply about it - everytime you listen or play a music.
