Is it really such a bad thing to sacrifice sound for showmanship?
I've always been dead against it, if showmanship detracts from the sound in any way I just won't do it.
However, I've seen lots of good and not-so-good drummers sacrifice sound and tightness for a bit showmanship here and there and it sets the crowd on fire!
Nobody seems to care or even notice the slightly more sloppy playing (sometimes terrible playing).
This is the kind of thing that would give me nightmares but, maybe I've been too strict and boring all these years?
What do you guys think?
