Is it eye contact or seeing the drummer, though? Or maybe even feeling the bass drum, not sure. I'm going to guess that seeing the drum sticks would be helpful

Probably a separate skill set, I'm sure a good studio musician knows how to do great with headphones on their head. I'm a bass player myself but rarely do any recording so I'm crap at it but I'm sure I could learn.
- colechristensen 4y agoThere are a lot of channels of communication, but a lot of it is driven by the drummer. Had fun irritating the band director in high school sometimes by pushing silly tempos getting everyone to follow a few drummers, you get the sense of how much you can push and then everybody just follows you.
