What does the drummer do in a band?

Answer 1

with the help of the Bass Guitar player (and all the others too)

1. provides the music with a good/appropriate rhythm background and a steady rhythmic beat/pulse

2.creates the pump, thump, and the role that gets your blood boiled and riled up part of the music-keeps the beat-like a metronome

3. keeps an appropriate metronomic pulse and beat of music and adds in appropriate metronomic extras when needed to fit the music properly-fills, crash, ride, etc, adds occasional fills if needed by the music

thus- a drummer is human metronome with -once in a while- some modified or accomidated extras to fit within the music piece(fill, crash, etc)

Answer 2

To drum effectively and consistently, and to keep the band in time.

Answer 3

Drummer plays the drums 2 match the vocals of the vocalist.
