I didn't know this topic still kept being discussed. We all know they aren't lol!
Jokes apart, I'm astonished that the 'drummers being musicians" thing is still debated. I thought most of people agreed that although not playing 'notes' (which is only partly true; drums in fact can be tuned so they sound in a desired frequency) and chords, drummers are musicians: they play a rhythmic instrument and as far as I know, rhythm is an essential part of music. So I still don't see the point of this discussion. If drummers weren't musicians, what would percussionists be then? clowns? lol
