Whenever I'm listening to a song that mostly focuses on the beat, instead of melody, etc, I feel myself predicting what's going to come next. Usually if there's a hook, around 2 verses into the song, I'll be waiting for one of two possible beats to play. One will be some kind of more uplifting thing, and the other will end up reminding me of dark forests. I guess it's disappointing that there's so little left to do with percussion that every combination has already been stretched to the limit of my musically unintelligent understanding.
But then why are drummers always so sexy?
If a girl has more of a thing for guitarists, it's obvious why: they're not only showing off powerful fingerwork, they're also impressing their audience with the fact that their rapidly plucking twiddling fingers are creating something pleasing to the senses and memorable. There's a reason they never go to bed alone.
But I like drummers. And there's no logical reason for that.
I like bears because sometimes they're virgins, and I have a virgin fetish, for the reason that I've managed to stop pretedning I like dating assholes, and admitted I much prefer that whole cute thing. And I like it when they've got a decent beard, because too many times in the past, I've dismissed a boy for having an ugly face. Then, they get a beard, and I find myself suddenly naked. So I just make a beeline for boys with beards and bellies.
But why drummers.
Why.
(It's definetly NOT because there's less structure. That's DEFINETLY not the reason.)
