I'm gonna expose myself for the lowbrow, no-talent hack I am.
I just watched a clip on IG featuring the great Vinnie Colaiuta. He was playing some smoking stuff. And I couldn't find a beat or a pulse to save my ass. I know it was there. At some point I picked up on it from the bass player. But what Vinnie was playing?! I just didn't get it.
I realized then that, if I don't get it now, I probably never will. He's playing at a level and in a mindset that I just can't fathom, and if haven't gotten there in the 50 years I've been playing... well, it just isn't likely. Lol
I'm not complaining, really. There's a lot of stuff I like, a lot of stuff I comprehend, and then there's stuff I'm just going to have to take the experts' word on. There are a couple of highly respected, hugely popular monster drummers that I feel this way about.
There's my confession. Anyone else feel that way?
