Absolutely.
There's a difference between "to" and "too", and between "your" and "you're". That kind of word crime is just inviting robust entertainment.
Post of the week! Thank you James, you've done it again.

I suggest you become accustomed to using the phrase "I don't want to." It pretty much puts paid to argument, and it comes in very handy in all aspects of life.
This is gonna be a fun ride! Can't wait for our next show!
Do we have to immediately make everything about a person's outward characteristics? It probably has nothing to do with your sex (gender is a nonsensical psychological term), but rather to do with all the things you listed: your purposeful de-tuning of your drums, your preference for imprecise rolls, etc.
And I can't be the only person who gets this too. Last festival gig I played a few weeks ago was with five other bands. Most of the other drummers were nice guys. But one of them was hanging around the stage, and when I was loading my stuff he would say "Oh is that a Blah Ride? I had that, it sucks. I have something so much better now." "Oh is that a Blah snare? Yeah I used to have that, didn't cut through the band, so now I have a better one."
Sometimes people are just dicks.

Quit telling me after a performance that my drums are out of tune.... Stop telling me that my rolls aren't smooth enough (from jazz players, and I'm a rocker), stop telling me that my great Ludwig set sounds flat

IDK it seems like if it's the first time I'm saying something to someone, I'm not going to point out faults. Right there... that makes me think anyone who would do that.... they must lack certain basic manners, which also makes me think that I probably wouldn't value their opinion. Unless I know beforehand that they are a great player. But what great player is going to tear you down the first time they speak with you?
If the person is asked by the drummer what they thought....then that's different. Still pointing out the positive first, before getting into the negative, is a kind way to do it.
Basic friggin manners and respect lol.
I wish my better half would never have learned that phrase

Works, doesn't it!
Basic friggin manners and respect, I grant you - but the A B A method is even better, so that you finish on a positive. It's so much easier to swallow when the negative is sandwiched between two positives.
