So I'm checking various drum related URL's, seeing who owns them, etc.
I check DRUMS.COM and of course it's a store of some kind. But they have web content like LESSONS so I click on it. I get.....this:

Britney Spears "Oops I did it again."
Complete with Midi file.
"Spears latest CD. Pretend that you are cutting his track for Britney. Play the song and sight read this chart. Then, Ooops, do it again! "
Opps, do it again? OOPS DO IT AGAIN?
Am I a bad man for thinking this is EVIL FILTH? Can I not consider the fact that a young drummer could look at this chart and perhaps gain some insight into 8th notes? Perhaps feeling a little less intimidated by reading, thinking "It's not so hard"..thus encouraging him to continue drumming and ...who knows? Be the next BIG THING?
Can I not focus on that?
NO. It's EVIL. FILTH. SLOW AND PAINFULL DEATHS FOR THOSE INVOLVED.
I notice that the transcriber is not credited. Perhaps that's because NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH EVIL FILTH. THIS IS EVIDENCE FURTHER SUPPORTING MY THEORY.

U know as silly as most of this modern pop charts are, I wouldn't mind being Russ Miller for a minute and getting a nice view of Jennifer Love Hewitt(check the video clips on his site)

shocking, utterly shocking. Not in anyway does that have anything to do with music.
Yes, that is evil. But they also have Phallic Tractor on there.

It's weird, I sorta know the guy who runs that site and he's a well-respected teacher in the dc area. It's not like he can't play. He's familiar with all the dudes, too. I was wondering about that myself.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Holy crap even for today's technical standards that sounds pretty cool, very nice and clean triplets, the intro tom fill and the sextuplet fill in the end, YICKES [img]eek.gif[/img] .Musically speaking that doesn't have much value similar to "Dogboots" by Planet X, but it's still nice for a challenge.Originally posted by FlamTriplet:

Since you're into metal, have u checked out Derek Roddy? I have a couple of videos in my PC, sick STUFF especially in the double bass department.

Don't talk about things you don't understand, buddy.
Playing for a pop star is very good money, and more difficult than you might think. As easy as the material is, it must be perfectly played.
Many of the world's best drummers play live for pop/hip-hop acts, such as Billy Ashbaugh (N'Sync) and Gerald Heyward (Mary J. Blidge). They rake it in too, for sure.
Yeah, Britney seems to represent the worst of the "manufactured celebrity" genre. Pretty loathsome, really. At least the guys from N'Sync can sing. Britney's only talent is her dancing, but she's no better than any of her backup dancers (why aren't they famous?). I can't stand her, and I'm glad Dianne Sawyer made her cry.
Christina Aguilara can sing her ass off, though. Hopefully, now that she's fat as a house, she'll stop acting like such a whore.
