Hey bud, wise choice!!!

I totally agree that drums are the key to a good band because it really is the "beat" to any style of music!!!

Without drums what have ya got? Just a quiet old guitar track (sometimes even a ballad) or a person singing and that's it!!!

I love the drums, man!!!Just try to imagine any of these bands without them:

-Slayer.
-Metallica.
-Megadeth.
-Fear Factory.
-Rush.
-AC/DC.
-Judas Priest.
-Queensryche.
-Morbid Angel.
-Pantera.

It just wouldn't be the same and (in some cases) the song(s) would just be a simple guitar riff/sh1t, ya know?

In closing, I'd like to say that there are definitely a hell of a lot of great guitar players out there that I've enjoyed jamming to, but even the greatest guitarist is just average at best without the magic of a great drummer keeping a great beat thru the song, period!!!
