I couldve sworn I had this. Any chance of a hook up?

Thanks for posting. ive been eating up everything I can with this guy. We can get all righteous and talk about less is more and all that, but this wasnt a Steely Dan gig, it was a fusion gig in L.A. Sure if I went to see Chris live with a band I wouldnt want to hear this the WHOLE time, but why not ...

He...

Not his skills, although he does throw out a couple of contradictions while describing the kids playing. Why not show an example of the type of youtube post that...

So i guess this means we can expect videos of certified greatness to be posted by DeeP FRieD and amoergosum later today?

Gaddabout- #3 s one of the best analogies Ive heard in a long time. Kudos!!

Nah. I think it's mature of drummers to share what they are working on. I see what you mean though. It's never frowned upon when guitarists learn solos note for note, or licks note for note, yet drummers sometimes get a bad rap for it. It also speaks for itself the amount of views that some of these...
