Absolutely he does. Indeed, drummers in casual rock bands who only know how to repeat "boom tss tac tss" and some variants on it, are very obsolete to the music's actual sound. People like Nick Mason and Ringo Starr, who compose a different playing for each song and really put their signature on it, are as important as a good bass player. You may not really notice them, but you'd notice it'd be played by a worse drummer.

I can only imagine myself saying "You know, I never understood why a drummer would be appreciated. It has always been frustrating to me to know that drummers are easily replaced. Does Nick really contribute to the sound of the band?" over and over.

Anyway, yes, Ember, I know a drummer is essential in a band, I never said anything about that. But, why does it matter who the drummer is, is what I didn't understand.
