Very insightful. Yes, it's crazy that nondrummers, even those past academia, and performing in the real world, sometimes think we don't read music. Highly preposterous, if you ask me. As a drummer, I take in everything around me, in the moment. The bass line affects my groove, the harmonic motion affects my phrases, the chord voicing and lyrics affect my timbre and choices of what to play. My goal as a drummer is to calalog all of this on the spot, and make a part that complements all of the time, color, and emotional aspects of the given piece. I understand rhythm, I understand sheet music, I understand harmony, I understand lyrics. #notjustbeats
