Drums connect with our primal selves. Maybe this is why most drummers will have animalistic tendencies, or if the current universe allows, actually be animals... This is technically true (since humans are, by scientific definition, animals), but in the non-literal sense, this isn't always the case. Real Life instrumentalists can often pick their instrument in accordance with their personality. And regardless of any personality implications, drums sets require the largest and most muscular movements of any instrument in a modern/rock music repertoire, and therefore it really helps to be physically fit. In terms of intelligence, drummers are actually said to be among the most intelligent of musicians since most of their work is improvisational and more complex than traditional compositions. This is especially the case with jazz drummers like Buddy Rich and Max Roach. Yet The Muppets' Animal in fact was designed after Fleetwood Mac's drummer Mick Fleetwood, who is quite tall and slender. His personality, however, is rumored to have been based on The Who's Keith Moon. When dealing with a Five-Man Band, The Big Guy usually becomes the drummer. Compare Cymbal-Banging Monkey, Dumb and Drummer, and Rotten Rock & Roll. Also compare Primal Chest-Pound, where a character drums on oneself, also often indicating a savage, animalistic personality. See also Nobody Loves the Bassist for another example of a band-member stereotype. |

An episode of Viva Piñata, "On a Sour Note", had the gang and their band become popular due to the addition of an uncontrollable and feral sour pinata. Eventually, the sour literally breaks out of its shell and becomes a mild-mannered, cultured ordinary pinata, rendering the band unpopular. | |

X-Men: Subverted by Beast, who is a drummer but only because his mutation prevents him from playing guitar like he used to. He is rather calm and incredibly intelligent. Played straight in the Alternate Universe story X-Men rEvolution in which Nightcrawler is the drummer for a band of angry teen mutants. |

From The Hard Times: Investigation: Does This Drummer Even Own a Shirt? Band Takes Drummer on One Last Day of Doing All His Favorite Things, which treats a band letting their drummer go like pet owners putting down their dog. Apparently, the drummer's favorite things include playing outside and eating peanut butter and dry food. |

The single most primal villain ever seen in Redwall, Gulo the Savage, is a huge cannibalistic wolverine who gets his horde into a frenzy by pounding a stolen drum (it was to be a gift from Salamandastron to Redwall when Gulo fell on the hares delivering it and ate them). | |

Darkwing Duck features a very short-term attempt at a "rock" band from Gosalyn, a rambunctious Tomboy on vocals; Honker, her nerdy best friend on guitar (whose music teacher considered form superior to function); and Honker's bigger Jerkass brother Tank on drums. Gosalyn's justification? "You were born to hit stuff!" | |

Averted with Neil Peart from Rush (Band). He was well-known for being The Stoic of the band, and his face while drumming would convince you that he was filing accounting paperwork or something. Similar comments apply to Charlie Watts of The Rolling Stones and John Dolmayan of System of a Down. | |

Zach Hill, drummer of Hella, El Grupo Nuevo de Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, and Death Grips, plays so hard he wears out drums faster than usual. He's known to bend the top rim of his drums, and frequently punctures drum heads. He also injures himself a lot playing, even once having to take a hiatus because of a drumming-related wound. And, of course, let's not forget the infamous cover image of Death Grips' No Love Deep Web. | |

Subverted in Metalocalypse: Pickles the drummer could probably qualify if he was in any other band, but he's the only member of Dethklok who's even close to being civilized and marginally intelligent. Of course, he's also been a singer and a guitarist in his time. Ironically, he came closest to living out this trope back during his stint as lead singer for Snakes 'N Barrels. Gets even weirder in the episode "Rehabklok": since Pickles is the one singing this song Offdensen is the one playing the drums in it. The straight laced C.F.O. and manager of Dethklok. |

In The Commitments, both drummers of the group fit this to a tee. The second even starts his career with the band as their easily provoked bouncer-slash-roadie-slash-heavy. By the end, although he can play with finesse and surprising gentleness, he's still utterly incapable of controlling his temper. Although frankly, the surprise was that he hadn't decked Decko long before that point, given how much of a prick the man is. | |

Persona 4: Dancing All Night has the cast dance rather than play instruments, but instrumentals are distributed to their Personas. Once again Kanji and Take-Mikazuchi get drum duty. |

BanG Dream! Downplayed with Tomoe Udagawa, who is usually very reliable and mature, but can be very hot-blooded, and can often rush into situations without thinking first. Her younger sister Ako plays this trope straight, as Ako is a bubbly, energetic Genki Girl who is the drummer of Roselia. Inverted with Kanon Matsubara, who is a Shrinking Violet as well as one of two saner members of her band full of Cloudcuckoolanders. Somewhat played straight with Masuki "MASKING" Sato though, whose scary expressions and aggressive performance earned her the nickname of "Mad Dog" among her peers. But even then she's still very much a Tomboy with a Girly Streak who enjoys baking cake and is a fan of cutesy idol band Pastel*Palettes. |

Keith Moon of The Who. His antics included blowing up his drumkit on stage,note Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey claim their hearing loss began in opposite ears because they were facing each other at the time driving his Lincoln Continental into swimming pools, and getting banned from hotels for trashing them. He's been quoted as claiming he's clumsy rather than crazy; he never meant to trash hotel rooms, it just happened...which would be contradicted by both his reported fondness for blowing up hotel room toilets with cherry bombs, M80s, and dynamite. That Other Wiki also mentions an anecdote in which he's being driven from a hotel to the airport. He tells the limo driver to go back because he forgot something. What did he forget? To toss his room's TV set into the hotel pool. Clumsy? Riiight... | |

Granted, this is after about a day's worth of Pinkie Pie cheerfully pounding on whatever's available, and shortly before Pinkie performs a Shout-Out to the Animal, so she's definitely the genuine article. | |

Scooby-Doo: In the movie Legend of the Vampire, the gang decides to go undercover as the band "The Meddling Kids". Out of five mostly human candidates, it's the dog that drums. Subverted with Dusk from The Hex Girls. She's not particularly any more wild than the others. If anything, Thorn (the bassist and lead singer) is the theatrical and "scary" one, and even that is not much due to their Perky Goth personalities. Averted in Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!. When the gang has to pretend to be a band in "Screama Donna", it's Control Freak Fred who winds up on drums. |

Guitar Hero: The band's drummer is a big, brutish-looking lunk. The loading screens take quite a few shots at drummers as well. (As well as singers, but drummers seem to get it worse.) "Don't let your drummer handle the money." "Don't give your drummer a microphone. It'll only end in tears." "Well, maybe a drum machine will show up to practice on time." |

Ginger Baker of Cream. Known for being aggressive when playing, but also in general. Was known for getting into fights with bassist Jack Bruce, often on-stage. Allegedly this combative streak contributed to his acrimonious departure from space-rockers Hawkwind, where the irritant was the band's leader Dave note and Mrs Brock. | |

On the other hand, despite being one of the main characters she has the least lines of dialogue in the entire series; not because she appears rarely but because she's The Stoic.

Russian folk-rock combo Otava Yo has Petr S, a drummer who cultivates an air of other-worldly "strangeness" as if he's two or three steps behind everybody else and has to run to keep up. This aura of being the weird and slightly sinister one is played in so many videos that it can't be there by chance or accident; if anything strange or perhaps Fortean occurs in the videos, it will occur around Petr. (His apparently developing a third hand to play a complex drum-beat, for instance, as in Cossack's Leginka) | |

Aerosmith's Joey Kramer is both an example and a subversion. Onstage, he pulls all the funny faces and during his solos, he tends to abandon his sticks and use his hands, forearms, elbows, and head to drum. Then you read his book and his Twitter and discover he's a quiet, shy gentleman who mostly tweets about his wife and Labrador puppy. | |

However, as Terrence Fletcher continues to teach Andrew, the latter slowly becomes more and more insane. In fact, this is how Andrew's father sees him in the ending; As an out of control, completely submissive and obedient pet to Fletcher, going crazy on the drums as if his life depended on his performance and Fletcher's approval. | |

Family Guy: One episode had the family play as a band for a little while. Brian, the dog, was the drummer. Something of a subversion, as Brian is one of the calmest and most sensible characters on the show. During THAT time period, anyway... A Cutaway Gag had George Harrison, Paul McCartney, and John Lennon in the kitchen discussing which of their songs would go on the new album.note The context, from clothes worn and titles dropped, is "Rubber Soul" or "Revolver" in 1966 Ringo Starr walks in, full of excitement that he too has written a song. The other three praise him exactly as if he was a six-year-old who's done well at school and Starr beams with pride, unaware he's being patronised. Paul McCartney then praises him and says he's going to pin the song to the fridge door with a magnet, look, like all the rest... In "Road to Europe," Peter Criss, the original drummer of KISS, is portrayed as quite feeble-minded. Most of his lines are non sequiturs ("My Grand Slam was supposed to be with sausage..."), and after Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley leave the stage during a performance, he and Ace Frehley perform "Chattanooga Choo-Choo." Peter is annoyed when Lois dresses as Criss to go to Kiss's concert, since nobody wants to be Peter Criss. Not even Peter Criss. |

Yoshiki Hayashi of X Japan, as a Zig-Zagged Trope. Early on, due to There Are No Therapists running headlong into Alcohol-Induced Idiocy, he was known for behavior that sometimes hit the limits of Ax-Crazy: fighting offstage to the point that his behavior, along with hide's and Taiji's, earned the band a reputation of being aggressive drunken assholes. note Among his notable achievements in causing trouble involved burning an entire bar to the ground in a fight with his rival producer/bandleader Dynamite Tommy of Color, and once having been banned either by name or by hair color by nearly every bar in Tokyo proper. Then there was the time he and guitarist hide somehow set fire to a hotel room, causing over $64,000 in damages... At the same time, he was one of the most extreme drummers in rock and metal, exceeding 800BPM at one point without heel-toe pedaling or any other extended drum techniques. Unfortunately, the sheer violence of his performances inflicted a variety of injuries that he lives with to this day, including a broken neck in 1995 that required surgery to repair split vertebrae in 2009, torn muscles on repeated occasions, severe wrist tendonitis, and more. Due to those injuries, and due to maturing as a person, coming to terms with his emotions to some degree, and eventually getting his drinking behavior and drinking somewhat under control despite repeated falls Off the Wagon, though, he maintains a somewhat more restrained and socially responsible image starting as of the mid-1990s and also relies more on safer techniques in drumming. In one PV, he became a Serkis Folk werewolf, despite his image generally being Friendly Neighborhood Vampire. | |

The Bread from Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 5 certainly goes crazy banging on Peanut Butter and Jelly Jars. He's also barely able to speak, as he just mumbles the names of various foods while his band desperately tries to make a coherent song. | |

Subverted like hell in the Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers episode "Battle of the Bandits", where the crew had to infiltrate a galactic rock show (it was The '80s, that's the only excuse that can be given). It's Zachary that gets shoved on drums. | |

Played straight when Eddie assembles a new band in Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives!: while the other band members are scoped out during banal club gigs (or in the keyboardist's case, at a piano recital), the drummer, Charlie Tansie, is first seen performing behind a cage, showing off and shamelessly mugging while making eyes with the female fans. He's also got a wild mop of untamed, curly hair, big, sculpted muscles (even compared to star Michael Paré), and is always shirtless when performing (except for one audition for a backer, for which he wears a blazer over his bare chest). | |

The Punisher (2017). Beth talks of how she used to be a member of various bands and "somehow I always used to end up dating the drummer, which everyone knows is a bad thing." | |

Mike Smith from Suffocation was one of the pioneers of brutal death metal drumming and renowned for both his technical skill and focus on pounding the shit out of his kit to make every note hit the listener like a sledgehammer, but there was also his infamous temper and proclivity towards violence, something that caused Terrance Hobbs to force him to take anger management classes for in order to be allowed to stay in the band. | |
