Question

How good of a drummer do you have to be to be in a famous rock/metal band?

Answer 1

you have to be very very very good and you can't mess up. do good in drum solos and be able to spin the drumsticks around and around without letting them break or fall. try to do the best drum roll ever.

Answer 2

depends on the band...lots of famous bands have bad drummers-along with bad singers, guitar players, etc.

keep practicing!

Answer 3

If Meg White can do it so can you!

Answer 4

these days even the worst of drummers become famous. just make a band and find a good record company

Answer 5

it depends on which band. a band like metallica you have to be really good. but now for a band like shadows fall you just have to be able to double bass really fast.  which isnt that hard. its all in your ankle.

Answer 6

You have to be as good as your band.  You can be the best drummer ever, but if the rest of your band sucks, it won't be famous.  A band is like a team the works together and everyone has to be equally as good in order for the band to succeed.  It takes lots of practice and a lot of luck to get famous, but if you have it, you have it.

Answer 7

Ask Neil Pert and Stewart Copeland.
