Going the Extra Mile
Many drummers simply show up, set up their drums, play the gig and go home. Take pride in your work and "go the extra mile". Carry the bass player's rig in for him, make a set list for the band, or show up 15 minutes earlier to help out. School band students can help the teacher in the band room or offer their services for a special concert or field event.

Anyone can just show up and play their drums, but those that put in a little extra are more valued as a "team player". This often increases your job stability and overall reputation in the industry and sometimes even means extra compensation. The main thing is that you feel better about yourself for giving more in this world and that's reason enough to make the change!
