So here's where I am..

"Most of the gigs I play are no chops gigs, so it's been a good exercise for me just to see how the time sits/not sits when adding fills like those."

I call this "song drumming"...and the pocket practice is perfect for this!

For whatever its worth...our own Kaide is a great example of all of this!
His playing is spot on always for me...I get a ton from watching him.
His Live playing does not depart from his "practice" playing...time/groove/
feel solid as a rock.

Not to "pimp" my own site, but I updated recently with what is old for most,
but gets to the point of a lot of this stuff...and it's Jeff, so that's always a good
thing!

I've watched lots of Kaitsu vids recently, yeah, he's great!
