In a 3-Piece Band: Bass or Drum?
Kinda off-topic of audio, but:
In a 3-instrument ensemble, which one whose absence will be less noticed: bass or drum?
There are some 3-piece ensemble that work well without drum, such as Nat King Cole Trio, copied by Diana Krall Trio (piano, guitar, bass). Patricia Barber's sometimes use only piano, bass, drum. I guess on a rock group, guitar, bass, and drum work well.
Looking at these combinations, bass is more than drum for a band to be musically 'complete'.
What do you think?
