The hell I am, but Drummerworld has seen fit to deem me one, even though I just restarted on drums 2 months ago. If it's on the internet, it must be true.
Oh sure, I know what it takes to make drums sound good if not all the intracacies and possibilities of different tuning methods, I know a good cymbal from a bad, and I know what to do to rebuild my competence. I also have stellar timing, if not the chops and stamina to follow through consistently. That's something I guess, but no, not an expert.
I feel all this pressure now. I got enough pressure in my life. I just like discussing music with good folks worldwide and have a lot of questions about drumming, so I probably have a higher post count than most. Expert schmexpert.
I think DW needs to add a level or two between "drum expert" and "new member." How about "Semi-competent but working on it"? Or "Drum dilettante with aspirations"? They may be too long, huh? I don't know. Got any ideas?
