Drummers: always last…
As mentioned earlier, Jer Thorp and I are digging through mountains of CBC Radio3 data looking for interesting tidbits. We noticed that there is a feature of the Radio3 website that lets a band list all their various members and also mark down what instrument/role that member plays. Since bands are able to change the order of the members on the list, I was able to find out what types of musicians list themselves as first, and more importantly, last!
As expected, we were able to confirm that Drummers, always the butt of jokes, were indeed often last on the list, while ego loving, spotlight hogging guitar players typically received top billing.
Check out the graphic for full breakdowns.
Stay tuned for more!
