Yeah! I just don't want to be the professor guy-- that's not where I'm coming from in this discussion. I'm not an academic-- all this stuff is in service of being a creative artist. You already know that, but I want to make sure it's clear to the peanut gallery...
absolutely
my stance is purely trying address the original question.....and being very familiar with this style since it's inception I truly feel qualified to speak on it.
there are plenty of things spoken about around here that I do not feel qualified to speak on .....so I don't ....I simply read and learn from those who seem to be in the know.
I wish more people would do the same
I would say there is about a 60/40 ratio around here of people speaking knowledge to people talking out of their necks on certain subjects
I'm all about the integrity of the creative artist ......I truly live for it and make my living protecting it ...... but sometimes there is just blatant misinformation being spewed on this forum and it makes me concerned for the person asking the question looking for educated answers .
you will not see me spewing nonsense in a thread about double bass speed , metal drumming, blast beats, gravity blasts, stick tricks, refinishing shells, cutting bearing edges, etc. etc.,.......not my strong suit so I don't speak on it ......
I even try my best to stay out of technique discussions because it is a bit like talking about politics, religion , and chiropractics in a bar.......
but Hip Hop, Jazz, R&B, some rock .....thats my life....thats why I breathe
I feel it is all of our duty to protect the integrity of this place by providing solid information that comes from experience
I truly appreciate that when I read about a subject I may not be well versed in
