Re: Any blind drummers?
Having played drums now for over twenty years, I will say that while I think at least being able to talk to other musicians in their language is important, being able to read notation is less so. Drumming is a little more forgiving in this regard provided you steer clear of malleted percussion. It will definitely be something you want to learn eventually, but I have found learning by ear is much more effective, and if you're just playing kit, reading multiple-lined notation is a real pain if you're trying to memorize something. It's easier to actually hear what you want.
[[wow]], you've playing for over 20 years. So can you read the notation now? Actually I'm wondering if I can play in a band without knowing how to read drum notes. Another thing that confuses my mind is I'm really interested in progressive rock and metal and as you know those genres are more complex than the other stiles. I wanna be sure that one day I will able to play my favourite songs without notation. If it's not possible, then I want to handle reading the notes.
