Drum Battle Wish List

[drumdoctor]

I agree with sashal3 about having drummers play
the same tracks and see the differences and also
to all the drummers who say they don't like drum
battles it does'nt have to be looked at as a battle but more like three of your favorite drummers just showing off their chops.

Face it, we?re all technique freaks in HOD, I don?t see anyone genuflecting to the temple of Ringo here.

Speak for yourself mate, there are some of us who consider ourselves to be musicians first and drummers second. You can carry on extoling the virtues of lightenning singles and double bass drum work outs if you want... I'll carry on playing MUSIC.

As far as one's own personal style goes, one can play simply and play for the music and the groove and STILL be a technique freak. My statement meant there's not one amongst us who doesn't appreciate what Robert Fripp has called 'calisthenic displays of virtuosity.' In the proper hands these displays can be musical.

It may appall some twoandfour drummers to hear someone play as frenetically as, for example, Terry Bozzio. Doesn't mean they weren't impressed (as far as being a drummer goes, mind) by all the blood and carnage. I, for one, can't play like Vinnie; but I sure do like to see what part of the building is left standing when the smoke clears.
