I started out as a guitarist then turned bassist in the late 70's. I have been mainly into classic rock, blues, prog, fusion all my life. It had to be guitar-centric or complex, jazzy, classically influenced, epic, etc. etc. for me to listen to a piece music. I had no time for "lesser" forms of music made by mere mortals! Bit of a music snob, right?
Then I picked up the drums three years ago and now I realize that a lot of styles of music that have been outside of my radar contains great drumming. Now I can enjoy a song even if it does not have a 10 minute guitar solo if I focus on the drums. Since I am a hack on drums, I am easily impressed by most professional drumming and therefore I have been enjoying a lot more music than I used to.
Can anybody relate to this?
