true... But if more church/gospel and urban drummers would take that time and make that focus then their would be reproduction of dare I say better musicians on drum set.
We have to be better players in order to reach those deep seated areas of the mind and Spirit. Folk walk around with their "feelings" in their sleeves all day lying to themselves and all around them about "what they FEEL."
FEELINGS are generally topical in the way that we most times view/use the terminology. Making a heartfelt impression that could be life changing... an experience takes Know-how and intent and selflessness in co-operative. We both know that know is logical and sterile and hard-t-come-by.... but we all want to go to the best doctors, don't we?
Well, feelings exist, and someone touching you, musically, on an emotional level is a-okay, as far as I'm concerned. Feelings are what make us feel alive, and if we were stripped of them, imagine how dull life would become? The detriminent with emotions comes in when people start to live by them.
Even when people have spiritual experiences ..... true spiritual experiences, their is still an emotional reaction.
However, what it seems like is, both of our points of views are valid, and the combination of the two is the key. I'm not against effiencey and technique...
...just when the music seems to suffer because of it.
