::: Anthony Royster, Jr. vs. Jojo Mayer (Singapore Drumfest, 2007) :::

[IICOII]

People who actually understand what JoJo is doing, may feel him more. I mean, you respect that it took hours upon hours of practice to perfect what you see on this video and his DVD. You respect him for the fact that a lot of the techniques that he's mastered, you've given up on, for the time being/permanently, because of a lack of patience.

Shed-heads, non-drummers(for the most part, I think), & non-musicians would probably feel Tony more.

Tony brought a great deal more energy and showmanship, and JoJo is clearly the most skilled of the two. In my opinion, anyway...

I want to see JoJo and Chris Dave do something together.  I think I would faint with Div putting white sheets on me and Sabianknight giving me water. LOL

What? I can't believe you would confess something like that.

I appreciate Chris Dave's approach, but I'm not deluded enough to think he's achieve JoJo's level of technical mastery...

Well, I didn't mean anything technical.  I meant musically.

I know...

I guess I would prefer to see someone as musical AND as technical proficient as Jo Jo work with him. I don't want the gap in their technical ability to take away from the music...

...'cause as a seasoned musician, you will definitely notice those things, even if you don't want to.

Hey Div....sidenote for a sec......what mic' is good for a Grand Piano??

[Eccentric-Rhythm]

I am in agreement.

[IICOII]

Hey Div....sidenote for a sec......what mic' is good for a Grand Piano??

What is the mic to be used for? A recording? Is it something you'd be using on a regular basis? What's genre of music? Size of the room?

[JFunky]

Regular basis, medium sized church, acoustic strings will be acompanying the Grand Piano (Violin)

Cardioid ...

Go to your nearest and tell them you're looking for a cardioid mic. That's a TYPE of mic, but I don't know your budget's, so I can suggest a specific brand.

True.  I defininitely was feeling Jojo's technique more, all the lil stuff he was doin.  Sometimes though, I forget how young TOny really is.  A lot of the times I find myself forgettin that a lot of the people tat I compare him to are a lot older than him.
