Drummers must be excellent sight-readers. They must be comfortable in a wide range of styles (jazz, rock, blues, funk, Latin [both Brazilian and Cuban]) and must be able to interpret slash charts in any of those respective styles. Being comfortable playing those charts along to a click track is also extremely important. Furthermore, drummers must have an excellent grasp of dynamics, tempo and song structure, and must assume a leadership role within the band, largely controlling those elements and conveying them to the other band members through their playing. Drummers should also have the ability to improvise in various styles, to trade solos in a jazz setting, and to play fills in all styles. In addition to covering a wide variety of commercial music styles, select ships use the rhythm section to provide musical support for the award winning production shows, Guest Entertainers, variety acts, branded events or in conjunction with other musical acts on board.
