Unconsciously, "Summer of the Band" has been on air for more than a month.
Every Saturday night, countless people sit in front of the computer, fearing that because they are not the first wave of watching, they will be spoiled in advance by friends in their circle of friends and intercepted them halfway.
Under the eyes of everyone, he adapted "I Will" from the pain and thoughts and "break the circle" of "I Will" and never let go of any trouble.
has only one exception.
Perhaps because the bands' performance was too dazzling, everyone ignored the core of the show: "This is the band's summer, and everyone in the band."
On the show, from faces, new pants, pain to hedgehog... We see too many bands shouting for youth and dreams on the stage, feeling the reality and ordinary.
Whenever this happens, we may burst into tears, may be full of passion, and may smile in a sluggish way.
This is definitely not because of one person, but the whole band’s credit.
But to be fair, as far as a band is concerned, we will admire the lead singer, envy the guitarist, tease the bassist, and forget the drummer.
Recalling "Summer of the Band", who do you remember except Shi Lu?
The drummers sat at the end of the stage, and were covered by the front-row lead singer, guitarist and bassist. Even if the camera swept through, there were only a few scenes.
Goujun can see that it is because of the lack of drummers, and the show doesn’t take drummers seriously at all?
A good drummer often runs around and completes the performance with several bands; or, several bands temporarily invite drummers to help the show.
This year is the band’s summer and a lack of drummers.
Since the broadcast of "Summer of the Band", most bands' excellent drummers have slowly come into our horizons.
There is "Astro Boy" of the Hedgehog band, 号有号有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有
But many people don’t know that some bands don’t even have many shots.
Before the show started, Gunjun saw some clues on the official Weibo of "Summer of the Band".
For example:
New Pants Band : Lead singer Peng Lei , keyboard Pang Kuan, bassist Zhao Meng .
9Lianren Live : Lead singer A Long, deputy lead singer A Mai, bassist Wanli.
Mr. Turtle : Lead singer Li Hongqi, bassist Jiang Han, and guitarist Huang Wei.
Queen's suitcase band: lead singer Kara, guitarist A Shi, bassist Black Wheel.
Click#15 has only two people: lead singer Ricky, keyboard Yang Ce .
There are also bands like Peace and Lang, Mr.miss, Cosmic Man, etc. In their original lineup, there are basically three major pieces of rock bands, including guitar and bass, but no band has always had drummers.
But when the show debuted, we could see the drummer foreign players invited by the band on the stage.
is like Jiulian's real person. When he first performed on stage "Don't bully the young man and the poor", he seemed to have a new drummer, playing the rice.
This song represents the confusion and stubbornness of young people going out to work hard. The drummer's drumming sounds like giving people courage.
Ko, after the performance, before Jiulian real person introduced it to everyone, the drummer Chumi had quietly left the show.
Even when it came to the second time, the Nine-Singer Real Person invited powerful foreign aid, and suona player Wu Zeqi helped.
lead singer Aaron introduced to everyone the foreign aid Mr. Wu Zeqi. I don’t know if it was cut, but he did not introduce the drummer to blow rice again.
And the Queen's Suitcase Band contributed two songs on the stage, one song "The Melancholy Guest in the World" and the other song "Darling".
After two consecutive performances, I failed to see the drummer Jin Kuigang who wanted to play drums and harmony.
shot swept over, leaving a scene of drummer Jin Kuigang
. On the other side, New Pants and Mr. Turtle, who shined on the show, their drummer was the same.
In the band's first performance, Mr. Turtle appeared with the song "Boy Don't Cry".
Its drummer Hayato, in the interactive session, wore a black and white shirt and Zhang Yadong interacted with solo.
In the end, Mr. Turtle achieved the first place.

The one that follows Mr. Turtle is the new pants band.
They ignited the audience with the song "Don't Ask Me What Disco" and won the second place.
The drummer is Hayato, but he has just made a transition and has changed into a fancy shirt.
two consecutive performances, Hayato has a considerable workload
and there is a band, which is Click#15.
The official lineup of the two people is actually another member of the drummer Liu Qian.
In the programs we can see so far, Liu Qian made two appearances in the first round, and did not leave much impression on everyone.
But gouging and spoilers to everyone, in the subsequent competition, the existence of drummers will make Click#15 the biggest dark horse.

In fact, in "Summer of the Band", there are still many drummers who have not made official appearances.
Just like what Gounjun said before, even if the camera scans, it leaves them with only a few scenes.
Some of them are invited to help, or they are the important task of playing drummers in several bands.
So, most drummers left silently after performing, and could only listen to the audience's cheers and shouts in the background.
Don't these drummers deserve names in "Summer of the Band"?
But if you think about it carefully, you can't blame the show.
In the final analysis, the bands lack drummers too much.
In fact, it is not only in the program, but also in the music industry, there are many drummers.
Change to real life:
is a drummer, and it is normal for other bands to play the game;
is a good drummer, and may be responsible for playing drums in several bands.
Like the single mother Shi Lu, she once served as the drummer of three bands, Hedgehog, nova heart, and Big Wave. She often carried drums that were almost as big as hers and rushed to different bands to rehearse in different places.
There is also a drummer from Japan, Hayato, who is currently a drummer of New Pants and Turtle.
once cursed Zuo Xiaojian, disturbed the band and others, and ran around and was busy.
These two are already considered the top drummers in the music circle.
What about the drummer who is slightly inferior in ability?
Their living conditions will only be worse:
There are no fixed performances, no public attention, except for the bar, there are few music festival performances all year round.
For music fans, when they go to a music festival or livehouse performance, most people go to the lead singer.
In those noisy occasions, the band in the eyes of the music fans in the audience is that the lead singer, guitarist, and bassist stand in front:
They can tell whether the lead singer's voice sounds good, and can see whether the guitarist and bass play the piano posture is handsome...
But a drummer sitting at the end, how good they play the drums and how they look, few people pay attention to it.
This is the current situation of drummers in the contemporary music circle.
The bands lack a good drummer, and the drummers lack a good environment.
Why is there so little drummer in the music industry nowadays?
Gongjun In order to find the answer, he has interviewed more than a dozen students from the Conservatory of Music.
From their scattered and broken language, I discovered this situation:
Among the three instruments: guitar, bass, drums, , the most young people learn guitar, followed by drums, and the fewest bass.
But the drum set is classified as percussion because the practice environment is noisy and difficult to carry, which is the most troublesome.
This also leads to some music talents no longer tend to drummers.
No more fresh blood is injected into the drummer, which increasingly reduces the probability of the birth of excellent drummers and induces bands to share a drummer.
A good drummer can better control and integrate various music styles, and better reflect the tacit understanding between the bands.
plus the current living environment of musicians, not just drummers, but also professions of other bands.
The bars of all types are low-profile; those with slightly higher popularity are going to major music festivals.
can be used to spend a few days, and with the exception of various expenses, there is only a lot left to save, not to mention that while supporting the family, you also have to make music.
You have to surrender, people always have to eat!
More and more people have seen haze and gray before they even get on track in their music career, and are forced to use the sickle of reality to split their ideals.
Without a stable living environment and good musicians emerge, how can you talk about the future of rock?
Indeed, the emergence of "Summer of the Band" has allowed us to think and expectate about the future.
As for the current musical conditions, rock bands have been struggling underground for twenty years, just hard, poor, hard, and hard.
But people who can survive and have been wandering for more than 20 years are good.
They insist on what they believe in their hearts and remember what they think in their hearts. Over the years they have been playing in the band, whether they are full of glory or sluggish, they always have a strong belief to support themselves to crawl forward.
Go away and hope that if "Summer of the Band" has next season, I hope I will no longer lack drummers.
Because these bands walked back to the ground from the underground, stood on the stage with great attention, bringing light to young people:
It is not without hope to be a band and music.
Whether it is a young musician or an older generation of musicians, those idiots who use their skull to smash the south wall, sometimes the chance is at the forefront.
stick to it, the wind is coming.
