MD - It ain't like that..you always drop knowledge, in your Maestro Divine way...LOL

I didn't say everyone. If it was everyone, I would just sign off and never come back, lol.

I'm just saying - dudes don't want to give me my props for droppin' what knowledge I have, 'cause I've never played a big gig. I've recieved an excellent musical education - but even that's only respected second to your working resume. I've said it before, and I've said it again .... I'm a lights off, in the basement musician. Playing for other people is secondary for me. I'm just totally consumed by exploring what I like to call "the Universe Of Rhythm & Sound". I play & practice 'cause I have to. Not because I'm trying to go on tour with Kim Burrell.

A lot of dudes don't respect that. That's fine, tho'. I'm gonna do me.

YOUR APPROACH
THE WAY YOU START A LICK
THE BEAT YOU START A LICK ON
YOUR TOUCH
YOUR TIMING
HOW LAID BACK YOU ARE

SOMETHING THAT IS UNIQULY YOU , NOT SOMEONE ELSE OR SOMETHING YOU SEEN

I look at it like this ... what if someone came to school wearing the same exact clothes you wear. Wearing the same sneaker. Get their hair-cut the same way. Talk to the same women you talk. Just straight hi-jack your personality & taste in clothes. You'd get mad, right?

Well, that's what a lot of dudes do musically. It's just that it's tolerated more, 'cause sooooo many dudes are too lazy to find their own musical voice. Heck, I'd say the majority. Every blue moon I'll hear someone that'll do stuff that I've never heard from another drummer.

Man...

One of the things that I learned through the GC masterclass vids (I only just downloaded them, so bear with me) is that everything we learn to play or do as a result of playing has been done before. That was one of the main points that I picked up across all the vids & I've only just started to fully understand, appreciate & apply it to my drumming.

Now... Thomas you got me confused man...

I disagree that everything has been done before.

It frustrated me to hear people say that. A lot of people use that as an excuse for the lack of creativity in their playing.

IF everything has been done before - their are certain things that have been done too much. Some musical ideas haven't been explored enough. No doubt.

That's a big "If", anyway.

Thanks MD for clearing that up for me AND making me realise that there is a fine line between excuses & lack of creatively expanding myself!

Sound knowledge, B.

HEY MAESTRO, I FEEL YOU ON WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT PLAYING FOR THE ART OF DRUMMIMG, & YOU'RE RIGHT, SO MANY CATS JUST PLAY FOR GIGS, & IF THEY DON'T GET A BIG GIG, THEY THINK THEIR SKILLS AREN'T GOOD ENOUGH, THAT'S LIKE SAYING IF EVERY BASKETBALL PLAYER DOESN'T MAKE THE PROS, THEN THEY CAN'T PLAY, I THINK THIS IS MY 5TH TIME SAYING THIS, BUT THERE ARE SO MANY CATS THAT ARE STRAIGHT KILLING (WITH THEIR OWN ORIGINALITY OF COURSE), BUT WE'LL NEVER HEAR THEM, THIS WORLD IS TOOOOO BIG TO HEAR EVERY GREAT YOUNG DRUMMER!!!!!!!!!

AND BY THE WAY MIKE REED JR. IS SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
