You do have to understand that riding the root note is sometimes the correct thing to do. Session guys get payed good money for realizing this. I once attended a recording session that had a rock solid drummer. I complemented him. He said he couldn't do anything fancy, but could keep solid time. I said that's what 99 percent want in a drummer. Same could be said for bass.
