Well, ive been fighting with this for quite some time now.
My band will NOT critisize my drum parts. I have only a handfull of times had them say "somethings not right there..." then ill whip somethign else out and theyll go with it. All three of us are really into the music were doing, and everyone around this area that has listened to it really likes it (even without vocals).
Then when i post it on the forum and youtube i get mixed reviews of my parts. When i take the advice and alter parts, 80% of the time my band mates will go "Ah, thats whats been missing" 20% of the time they want to keep it the same anyways.
Im just wondering how we can get out of the "fishbowl" and start scrutinizing our music a little better. I mean, we are really pumped about what weve done, i just want to make sure its the best it can be. I also need a way to have my bandmates jump in and tell me what to do lol, ive come up with guitar parts by mouthing/humming the rhythm, but when it comes to drums all im being told is "We dont say anything, because in our opinion youre doing great, and if something isnt right you usually fix it"
