Anonymous Coward User ID: 80615360 07/20/2021 12:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No really. It's like being crowned the world's fastest guitar picker. Who cares? Well, other guitar players for starters... Kinda like being the fastest runner in the Olympics It may seem like an alien concept to you, but being the best at something is a worthy calling Like graduating at the top of your class But yeah, if you are a low talent shmoo it might be a trigger event Epic Derp Okay they are the best. No one still cares I promise you. No one is like "Man, Stefan Khacheturian can play the shit out of a drum roll on those practice pads!" There are no guitarists or anyone who can name the World's Fastest Picker off the top of their head. Ok, seriously. If you are, in fact, recognized as the fastest picker (Roy fuckin Clark) or you win a legit drum contest (Jo Jo Mayer) you can score major endorsements. If you are already a working talent, it brings fame and renown to your already considerable swag. More than one drummer has cut to the front of the line in this way. The era of social media makes it possible to directly monetize this accomplishment, and leverage it into a steady stream of self produced content that can be lucrative to the extreme. The interwebs has changed the meaning and method of what it is to be a professional musician. If you think this is trivial stuff, you are missing the big picture |

Yes, actually. Just as in every other human pursuit. It is the only road to Carnegie Hall. Doctors practice, lawyers practice- hell, even a dog gets praise for performing a successful trick after much practice. Why you throw so much shade on the pursuit of excellence through personal discipline? If you don’t like good musicians, why are you on this thread? |

Quoting: Revolution of Consciousness ...huh? She had another thread about her husband, the guy in the vid in the first post. It's not really to chat about drums, it's just spamming about her husband. There is just something I find annoying about it. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 71700611 United States 07/22/2021 01:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | LOL This!! Jazz is the hardest style of music I swear to god it is! In order to be good at jazz you have to almost immerse yourself in it and honestly who the fuck has time for that?! LOL Depends on where you start If all you practice from day one is jazz-style drumming, it’s actually very logical, and it doesn’t take long to play pretty “complex” stuff. Jazz drumming emphasizes 4 way independence, and from that things get a little cray Rock drumming is super linear, and does not emphasize 4 way independence. Rock drummers coming to jazz must unlearn some habits, which is difficult Not surprisingly, drummers are really good at mathematical logic, and are super sensitive to ratio based environments When you combine the two, you get a whole new vocabulary as a drummer The Mushugga drummer is an excellent example All those metal dudes are nuts. Matt Halpern, Matt Garstka, Matt Reiner...lol why are they all named Matt!?!?! I've been playing for 20 years. I'm a very linear rock drummer. I can't play jazz. I can barely shuffle LOLOL Matt Cameron...not a legend but a consistently good drummer |

One of my favorites: Joe Morello Check out "Take Five", of course! Dave Brubeck Quartet "Take Five" is a jazz standard composed by saxophonist Paul Desmond and originally recorded by the Dave Brubeck Quartet for their album Time Out at Columbia Records' 30th Street Studios in New York City on July 1, 1959. Two years later it became a surprise hit and the biggest-selling jazz single ever. - Wikipedia |
