Re: sorry but i have to, BIG DRUM KITS
i get it, i probably understand need the best, through recording i have i strong understanding of what different genres call for, ill tell you the best metal band i have recorded had a 7 piece kit with 5 cymbals. different drummers do need different things. your taking my point of kids just starting out with huge kits into something its not, unless his point of view is that beginners need 10 piece kits then i think i got his point of view better then you do. he said it the best, they don't even need a snare hi hat and bass drum.
all they need is a pair of sticks and a pad. pretty sure i got that in my last post.
and me voicing my opinion on my favorite time, genre and why only for you to say its bias is insulting to me. i have never once said anything about big kits IN GENERAL. im talking about a specific situation. did i ever say the word EVERYONE in this hole topic? did i ever say they should sell their big kits? am i judging things that have yet to come? no, i am talking about past experience in a specific situation. so maybe you should understand my point of view before you make judgments i have not made myself.
and as far as fun, drumming is fun for me, how i am taking away the fun? the truth is when these people come in to my studio and pay 60 dollars a day they have never once said we are paying you to have fun, they are serious and say we want to make the best album we can make,
and when the kids come in with a huge kit and don't no how to voice it to make the best album they can i see it as a problem because i am there to help them a achieve their goal.
did i ever say they should not play their large kits at their houses? or at a show? no, because it does not concern me, why would i care? did i ever say anything about people i have never met who play big kits? not one single time. would i play a big kit yes, this has nothing to do with hating big kits in general so get it right before you try to talk to me like i have not been listening to this conversation.
and if you dont agree with me then take it out on someone else. because i would never insult on a lack of intelligence.
Wow, there's just no getting another POV to you, is there? If you think that conformity of drumkits is a good thing, then I think you're missing the whole point of the drumming exercise. If you think that a particular sub-genre of one part of the jazz era was music's purest form, then you are so completely biased, I don't know how anyone could possibly take you seriously.
You seem to have conveniently ignored Brundlefly's point about "need" and FUN. Obviously, those concepts haven't yet registered with your 20 year old brain. For most of us, that's all there is is fun. You should look that up sometime. (Hint: it's not in any of your drumming texts)
