I don't know, he's got tons of students. Maybe he's seen a trend of people that focus on the wrong thing or something like that.
But yeah, it could be just marketing. Nothing wrong with that if you take it in context.
I mean-- lots of people have tons of students. It does make me wonder what kind of people are coming to him-- where he says "So many times when I’m working with someone, they are working on things simply because they can’t do them", suggests he has a different kind of pipeline going than someone like say Peter Erksine.
For anyone still interested, Dave responded to the comments and pushback he received on the original post:
I appreciate that he forgives everyone's "confusion" about his comment.
I don't know who he's talking about, that says "just learn the rudiments and it will make you a good drum set player", I've never seen that. He should name the people he's discrediting.
The idea that the drum set now is some totally different animal from what it was in the past is completely false, ahistorical.
