Re: Drumming someone to sleep :-)
The way I see it, it's about whether you can create a lullaby with drums, and if so, how. This would also border on meditation music too. Drumming to relax rather than excite.
The key with any of...

Re: Decisions decisions!

Re: Musical artists who's death saddened you.
Many of these people died at a time when I wasn't paying attention to the news, or at a time when I didn't care for their music, or at times know about their music.
John Lennon was a big one....

Re: Funny Drummer Chart
Larry, I agree that Pocket's work is luminous, like a sheet of glass in front of a light. It lets us see the light. Not everyone can do that.
But still, it's a ripoff. What do you expect from a...
