Are The Drummers A Week Link In Bands?

I don’t know if it is just me or drummers leave bands more than other members. It seems that the star position is given to the guitarist that is usually the singer as well and the others are less important as band members. Yes one hears about artistic differences between song writers and performers that can split up a band but it is a different thing. With the drummers it seemed that they are at times taken for granted and are there to help other sound good. Love to hear stories from personal experience on the topic of the drummer situation in bands.
