What is the definition of drummer, as it relates to Smitty? Brian and I have played with several, and been more or less serious about each one at whatever given time. It is not to simply keep time. It is to be as an octopus, a parasititic entity one third the size of its host, who influences for better or for worse one third of the energetic output. It is my job to generate; it is Brian’s job to colorize; and it is our Drummer’s job to enlarge.
