His response was then, if there's a solo album and I see his name on it, I'll either buy it or at least listen to it. Many of the drummers I know are very outspoken. You aren't what normal people would consider the shy type. If you have something to say, you'll say it, and will normally say it a couple of decibels louder than usual where everyone can hear. At lunch, the three or four drummers who sit with our group end up yelling across the room, or just yelling out complaints.
Drummers also have explosive tempers.
Most of the time they don't let the outside world see this side of their persona, but there is always that accidental slip. Sometimes just the smallest things can set them off, too. I try to be careful what I say around my boyfriend when he's already in a bad mood. 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.
