I would say “So and So is listening…”How would you word it?
It does sound hokey
Right. Thank you. That’s the exact impression I got.active listening, also known as listening, but we gave it a name like we invented it.
When you are sitting in a room of people, you hear everything. That is listening. Drowning out everything to hear a single conversation, that is active listening.
I can see why some people feel threatened by their very existence.
Hearing stuff in general is called “hearing stuff in general.” I think everyone assumes that when someone learns a song by listening to it, they’re paying attention to it and formulating a plan.Well hold on. I feel like there is a difference between just listening and active listening. Listening is hearing stuff in general. Active listening is actually honing in on something and listening specifically.

It is still listening, but more so. We can choose how to listen. It's not a static sense.
Listening is hearing stuff in general.
This listening/playing thing they do is a brilliant idea. I think it’s a lot of fun to see musicians put themselves on the spot like that. I just thought this phrase puffed up the process too much and I think Drumeo likes doing that a little too much.Or hearing a song is listening, and focusing on the drum part only is active listening.
I don't care for the term, but I happen to like much of Drumeo's content and I can see why some people feel threatened by their very existence.
Oh geez, Todd…now you’re doing it! LolThis is something they pressed us on in school-- that, for musicians, listening is not the lay definition of just hearing something; for musicians it means focused listening as a primary activity.
For what it's worth (negative a penny by my calculations) it's not just Drumeo that latches on to whatever the buzzword of the moment is.This listening/playing thing they do is a brilliant idea.

Pretty sure he would.In contrast, when Ed Shaughnessy talked about "defensive" listening, he was referring to making yourself listen to the pop radio stations so you could stay hip to what was popular at the time - he wasn't going to be caught with not knowing what the kids wanted to hear, and he'd be able to deliver it if the situation called for it.
He said that to me over 30 years ago. I wonder if he'd still prescribe to it today, though
