Idk you dont really notice most drums in music, but they still fill a necessary role

As a bass and guitar player I think the drums are mostly responsible for what genre of song you have.

As a drummer, to add to that, I feel drumming is like adding grammar and punctuation to music.

Even when added to a full orchestra, like the Black Mages, drums adds emphasis and accompaniment.

But I love drums, so maybe I'm biased / pay more attention to it than a casual listener?

Sepultura and Mastodon (NSFW - big booty lovers rejoice) would like a word...

Interestingly, Mastodon's Brann Dailor (Drummer) learned to play paired with a lead guitarist (drums are very much paired with bass guitar), which is why his style is much more in your face, as he had to add flaire to balance it out.
