I totally [respectfully ] disagree. Interesting, varied drumwork (and bass... another misused instrument) does NOT detract from the guitars. It enhances them, and makes for a better, denser, more re-listenable album. Take Obscura for example, there's so much going on in the rhythm as well as melodic (yet it still fits perfectly) that it's almost impossible to get sick of it...GarinStone said:I like it when the drummers don't try to be interesting. It detracts from the guitar(which is the point of the music, next to the vocals). Drums are just "there" to me most of the time.
WNxScythe said:Well I haven't heard that album so I can't comment... BUT what I'm trying to say is that there shouldn't be such a huge gap in 'focus'/importance between guitars and drums. I'm not saying that drums should be dominant, I just feel they are far too downplayed in metal. If you have great, interesting, varied guitar AND great, interesting, varied drumming, the guitars won't lose out. Another (non metal) band I feel achieves this balance well is Zeppelin. Bonham and John Paul Jones always have interesting rhythm that could practically stand on its own but it doen't detract from Page in the least.

I'm a guitarist too (in a band) ... we're close to finishing the first two songs we've ever written too... recording them next friday can't waitGarinStone said:I just happen to be a guitarist, is all. So thats just what I focus on in the music. Obscura is a good album, though.
I just perfer to listen to guitar stuff.
