I have also noticed that drummers have their own clique in the band. It's as if there is a certain bond between each of you that is as hard to break as it would be to penetrate a concrete block with a piece of straw. No one else in the band is supposed to understand what goes on in your section. One thing that the drummers I know do among themselves is chant. Our clan will often be sitting in the cafeteria eating our lunch on one side of the room and hear two of our drummers start saying those exact lines.
All drum sections seem to be a whole band in themselves.
Think back to the last football game you played at. You guys don't seem to be under any obligations to ask permission from the drum major or band director to play your ear-bleeding cadences. The great thing about drummers is that no matter how much some of you act as if you were heathens from hell in public, you're all teddy bears in private. The drummers I know with girlfriends open the car door for them, let them go first in line, pay for expensive dinners, and will cuddle with their girlfriends and kiss them in public. They aren't afraid of being called names and being made fun of because they show the ones they love attention.
