"Uncle Larry"
There's two types of credibility that are muddying the waters here I think, internal and external. If I don't feel I'm a credible shuffle player in my gut, I doubt anyone else would think I am too. So self-credibility is a thing. I guess it could be called confidence. But I could be completely convinced of my own confidence/credibility and still get passed over for other reasons. People are fickle and have requirements that the auditionee may not have any control over. Maybe I remind the person of the guy who wronged him in HS. All we can do is make sure we ourselves are satisfied with our playing.
I think it's safe to say that if a drummer is satisfied with his or her playing, other people will be too. So satisfy #1 first, and things should fall into place nicely.
No one can please everyone though.
Unless you're a Mapex Saturn.
