Alright you guys got a really raw impression of what I meant hahaha, I am not cocky at all. I was simply stating a fact, I know there are a lot of people that blow us out of the water as far as technicality, however... the bands we were going to play with are not nearly our level as far as how clean they play individually and how their instruments sound. Again I am not being cocky, that was just directed towards bands that we were going to play with, if we were going to play with some of these other big local bands I have heard I would say different. I just can't stress enough that I don't want to be seen as cocky because there is a difference with knowing your pretty good and just flaunting around that your good. I know I am pretty good, but I lack a lot of skills that makes a really technical drummer. In comparison to the bands we were going to play with I was saying we are more technical, understand?....
Now that that's out of the way, we didn't take the show because our keyboard player convinced our lead guitar player that we didn't want to be seen as a bad performance by our fellow bands because we didn't want to destroy our bridges to headlining bands and such. On top of the fact that we didn't take it, the guy who was hosting the show didn't even notify his grandma that he was hosting it in her backyard, and no one got to play and there was no party, and on top of that the guy who was hosting it never informed his band that they were supposed to play the show. So that's how that went down, and again I am in no way cocky, if you met me in real life you would see that I am one of the least cockiest people you have ever met, unless I just met you and I am being sarcastic, but my post wasn't meant to be sarcastic, and I think anyone could tell if they were better than someone else at something, I never addressed it to the other bands, but it's just one of those things. I don't know how to say I am better than someone without sounding cocky, it's just a fact, maybe they will be even better than me down the road, anyway if no one understands what I am trying to say, I don't know how else to say it, I explained it like 20 different ways.
