Note: It isnt the job of the drummer to follow the bassist, and it isnt the job of the
bassist to follow the drummer. Its through mutual respect, trust, and a shared goal
of creating great music that this give-and-take relationship works. Talk to your bassist
about these three steps and make sure youre both on the same page. The rest of the
band and future live audiences will thank you.
