To be fair, Jared did say in a recent video that they play lot's of chops on the channel but in real world gig situations playing to the music should come first.
Except that hopeful drummers don't really hear that advice.

I'm happy that there lots of guys who are interested in the flash, for a number of different reasons.
Let them beat their heads against the wall learning difficult, unemployable skills, while ignoring other "more important for the music" skills.. Drums are not a lead instrument. Chops and licks are the tourist traps for drummers. I know that with basic skills, a lot of heart, and the right mindset, I am very employable. Drums are not a lead instrument, they are support. This could be the hardest realization to make. Young drummers just want to show themselves off basically speaking. It's part of the journey we all go through. For a new a drummer to embrace the role of what a drummer is supposed to be...that just takes time for most of us.
Shame is a choice. It doesn't make up what I consider a healthy mindset.
True, working pros know both money beats!

I quote Matt Garstka once again..;
“If the whole world is allready playing 4/4 money beats, then why would i also need to play them..?”
