Really sorry to hear this dude. But think of it as this: the drummer was probably an asshole so you are better off without him, you should look for a decent guy.
Good luck with the new drummer!

lol! I've been trying to get a project underway for the past few months, We finally had a complete line-up then our drummer turned off his phone never talked to us and sold his kit on craigslist. a couple practices before he did that, he layed his head on his snare for a half hour after every song being all emo and texting his girlfriend. Just found a new guy couple weeks ago though, hopefully we won't have to sit here and watch all these local bands that are only in it for the attention sit there and play uninspired chug chug riffs with no melody to be found anywhere in their music Drummers are great aren't they?!

I hate drummers. I spend most of my workday editing their mistakes because they can't play haha

My last drummer was actually talented, but lazy as fuck.
We would practice 3 songs (once apiece) and he would be whining that he was tired.
My biggest prob was finding bass players.

yeah we've got a killer bass player...our vocalist in fact. he's been playing for years (he's 37 and started with music when he was 13 if not younger), his voice is perfect for our style (both melodic and his scream, which is really more of a roar that makes your nuts shrivel up), and this band is his baby so we don't ever have to worry about him leaving, and the same goes for our lead guitarist...the two of them are the founding members. i've been in for just over a year now and have no plans of going anywhere, but these drummers are lame.
hope the n00b works out well next week (thought it was tonight but there was a miscommunication)

My band's drummer just quit with half a weeks notice. Those fuckers suck mostly because their probably the most important part of the band and there's about half a drummer for every 10 guitar players in the world.

We just got a new drummer (and hoora this one can actually keep steady time). Pat, if it comes to it, you might just have to conscript someone pirate style. There's actually a homeless guy around here who sits around with drumsticks and a walkman. I gotta say the dude has rhythm (and probably kills with a snare). For 50 dollars I'll hogtie him and send him your way fedex.

oh btw we tried out a drummer yesterday...it was the one of the most face-palming experiences of my life - definitely in the top 5.
