23rd Psalm For Bass Players:

The Lord is my drummer, I shall not rush,
... He maketh me to lay out in tasteful places,
He leadeth me beside cool meter changes,
He restoreth my "one."
Yeah, man, though I walk through the trickiest of Sammy Nestico charts,
I will fear no train wrecks,
For You are with it.

Your ride and Your snare they comfort me,
You setteth up a solo for me
In the presence of mine guitarists,
You annointeth my lines with drive,
My groove overfloweth.

Surely good feel and swing will follow me
through all the tunes of each set,
And I will dwell in the pocket the whole gig long.

When the drummer is not on beat, thy bass player is not on beat. It is kinda funny, really; every time our drummer stops in the middle of a song, I get lost lol ..
Music Rocks!

Definitely a very symbiotic relationship between the two. Such a cool feeling when you both lock it in :-)
