[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1472334384' post='3120472'] If they're playing to a click, otherwise it could possibly be a right car crash. [/quote] Why would that be..?

Electronic drums..? Whatever next..! Electric basses, perhaps..? Nah, that'd never catch on..!

[quote name='bassjim' timestamp='1472141042' post='3118847'] Defo not bashing him...that was just in jest !!!!... [/quote] Glad to hear that..! He'll very likely need to do some 'wood-shedding', just the same, preferably on rudiments and stick control/accentuation (as referenced with the books, above ^...). It's not the kind of technique that just 'comes' in rehearsals with other folks, unless you've all a few days to spend..? Even just a snare, or practise pad (even a cushion, or pillow..?) will do, but a bit of time each day, conscientiously going over the exercises will reap enormous reward. How do I know this..? Hmm...

[quote name='bassjim' timestamp='1472134079' post='3118784'] so................ its all his own fault and he has no one to blame but himself ! I'll tell him. He is the kind of guy to go "ok. will work on that" [/quote] So, what's the beef..? He's good with rods (that's a Good Thing...),and wants to use sticks, but with better technique concerning dynamics..? Isn't that just what most of the posts above are suggesting that he do..? I'd have thought that that's a Good Thing, too. Another solution is to muffle the drums (I've used elasticated flannel pillow cases, for instance...), but cymbals are more delicate, as the thinner, less 'noisy' ones will break anyway if they're beaten too hard. No, the real answer, whatever the kit, is stick control. If he's already a good drummer, it won't be hard to adopt another approach, and it's very interesting to get into, but it does take Work (Ok, a four-letter word for some...). That's not insulting the bloke; quite the opposite. If he's worth it, he'll take on board any of these (suitably worded...) suggestions, I'd have thought. No need to bash the fellow, just a reasonable amount of human diplomacy. Maybe this is the wrong forum for that, though..?

A darned-heavy 2 x 15 HH here in Lower Normandy, if you're really stuck, or an Ampeg 4 x 10, or Fender 2 x 15 (... but you'd have to be really stuffed for it to be worth the trip..! Still, you're welcome to borrow 'em, just the same... ) . Looks like you'll get something sorted, so well done, all.

[quote name='chriswareham' timestamp='1470764172' post='3108286'] It's a weird one. Yesterday I described why I didn't like a particular Jaco Pistorius bass part, and was called "ignorant". I didn't comment on the man, or the rest of his work, but apparently having an opinion makes me ignorant. Oh well. [/quote] Not quite fair, I'd say; the exact post in question was 'Ignorant, ', as a sly dig in the ribs, not an overt insult. It was referring to a previous little spat over definitions. No malice was intended. Just sayin'.

[quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1470755195' post='3108199'] Oh I dunno you know. I do like a bit of Trout. [/quote] I share your culinary tastes, but never tire of the 9th, personally. S'all good, really.

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1470682114' post='3107643'] Yes, brilliant. I presume you have heard the live Orchestral album ? Vince Mendoza and his terrific arrangements. Personally I only stumbled upon it last year. Not sure how I missed it to be honest. Sublime version of 'Hejira' [media]http://youtu.be/yt50Te9RriI[/media] [/quote] Well, in my own humble opinion, it doesn't get any better than this on this planet, 'between the forceps and the stone'. The very [i]definition [/i]of 'sublime'. There are, all through JM's long and fruitful career, so many pure gems; several of them are graced with a contribution from JP. Look, it's no exaggeration to say that it's even better than the Grateful Dead, and even Schubert..! There, I've said it..!

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1470423593' post='3105955'] Yous guys don't have Hot Dogs? Blue [/quote] This is a 'guy' (Penny for the Guy..? Remember, Remember, the 5th of November...) ... I'm much more used to 'blokes', 'fellows', 'chums' and, in some circumstances, 'mates'. There was a personality a while back whose catch phrase included 'Guys an' Gals'... He is little quoted nowadays, and looked upon with disfavour. Do we have hot dogs..? Some would maybe admit to such, but probably mask the 'taste' with brown sauce.

So, your EDM-polluted neural system has not been able to unravel the encrypted messages in there..? Far from being meaningless or empty, there are musical clues throughout. One can even dance to it in several different rhythms without breaking a leg (or into a sweat..!). This is, essentially, very old musical forms brought up to date simply by the use of more modern sounds. The structure is, well, not exactly antediluvian, but certainly centuries old. Yes, even older than I, if that's not too difficult to imagine. Glad it struck a chord, though; you're making progress too, it would appear. ([i]Yes, but is it Jazz..?[/i] Hmm... hardly, old fruit; hardly... )
