I notice around the forum that evident, you like to put out a lot of criticisms with regards to people's playing.
Perhaps you like to show us a video of your playing and what you can do, cos' you seem to be free of those mistakes that you've suggested of other people?
tell me this:
does a movie critic has to be able to make the world's best movie?
does a food connoisseur definitely have to be able to make a good dish?
someone who criticize may not have to artistic creativity, originality or ability to produce a good piece of work, and he still can be a good critic.
i know the principles of drumming, and i know enough to tell good from bad. i didn't say cobus was bad. in fact i'll admit he's better than me in this genre of music that he plays. but that doesn't mean i can't criticize or give comments. you don't have to be the world's best chef to tell what crappy food taste like.
and if you actually read all my replies, i always back my comments with reasons why i think so and how it can be better. instead of flaming and saying they suck and just leaving it at that. my motive is to help people think critically as well as know what areas to improve in. if you're not happy with that then fine, give me a good reason why i should stop helping others.
and i've never, in any of my posts, say that i am better than said players or that i am free of these mistakes, if i know that they are better than me. if you can point one out, just give me any URL. and i'll post a video for YOU alone. please don't malign me, i do not criticize in ill will.
i think you misread me when i said it wasn't groovy, because it isn't. it's rocking, it's pumping, it's not meant to be groovy. groovy is normally associated with laid-back funky styles. i failed to mention this previously.
