Kind of lame how the 'Drum Gear' thread has by far the most posts. Just saying.
Well, I mean it seems like we should wanting to know how to play better, not buying the flashiest kits ever. But that's just me.

Most of us here play almost perfectly so in essence the Technique section is just filler. Once in a while someone will post something that is new, but most of us have perfected the playing of drums and are here just to socialize and show our gear. You can tell by my post count that I don't even play much anymore. It gets boring.
I don't visit the technique section much because most of it is clean over my head. Equally, I have little to offer others, and rarely strive to acquire new technical skills. That said, I don't visit the gear section that much either, well, perhaps a bit. I spend a lot of my forum time listening in the your playing section. I love to hear the music everyone's making, both good & bad. I participate a lot in the general discussion & off topic sections too.
I'm much more interested in music than the mechanics of playing drums. That's one reason why I rarely visit the drummers section too. I'm not an emulate sort of guy. Kind of lame only from your POV. We're all here for different reasons, and that's cool with me.
Aw Bob, I view your playing a lot, and I take the time to say It's as "lame" as mine (wink).I share samples of my playing here from time to time.
The only people that seem to respond when I do are close friends and the frequent posters like Polly, Larry, Abe, etc.

Kind of lame to start this thread. But I'm saying that in the kindest way possible.
I really do try to be as honest as possible. I expect at least that by return. When delivering a negative however, I try to be as objective and encouraging as possibe. If I critisize someone's work, I always offer an alternative route or something positive to concentrate on. If my thoughts are only negative, and I have nothing to offer by way of encouragement (rare), I don't reply.I find that most people to include myself find it difficult to be totally honest when critiquing other peoples playing. .
