So the jazz band director has told me not to use bass drum (unless a part of fills or with a crash) for all of the swing and shuffle songs. I can see how it would work for some of them, but I think cutting it out for all of them is too much... I can understand why he would want light playing, which I think is the best decision, but he insisted on none at all. There's this one medium/slow gnarly type shuffle we play, which I do just not see happening without bass drum. Of the 4 songs he told me not to play it on, 3 of the recordings have it.
I'm not going to argue, he's the director after all, but his secondary instrument being drums, I find it very strange that he doesn't want any bass drum. Has anyone ever had a situation like this?
And by the way PFOG, I already know it's a useless drum anyway so no need to hit me up on that one again
