Dilemma

Sometimes we're so known by what circumstances have made us become, that people forget who we were before. Under circumstances, I have come to be known more as a guitarist till people forget that I'm actually a drummer and that drums is my main instrument. Sure, I may do the guitar thing, but I'm actually a drummer at heart and will always be.

Don't get me wrong, I love both drums and guitar and basically all the instruments. But just the thought of being a permanent acoustic guitarist for a band is something I really don't want. I've always envisioned myself as a drummer if I were to be in a band, but now I have been accidentally marketed as a guitarist and that seems to be what everyone wants me to be.

What's frustrating is that I have to sacrifice my first love (drums) to complement the whole team since no one else can take up the acoustic guitarist spot. I know the feeling would suck if I had to watch someone else take my spot on the drums while I'm stuck playing something else. Honestly, I never thought versatility would have its cons and here I am facing it.

How ? I'm left in a tight situation with not much options and I don't see a way out of it.
