thunderbird13 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1333910138' post='1608140'] I think 'Cats', in the jazz fraternity, refers to hardcore jazzers who can do it, as opposed to those on the periphery of the jazz scene who are not there yet. So, say Jasper Hollby could be a 'Cat' but I wouldn't be as I am not in that league. [/quote] Does that mean your a kitten ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Anyone who refers to another musician as a 'cat'. Makes you look like a total bellend. Mind you, it was more popular with try hard, jazz fusion wannabes on Talkbass than here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skej21 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 [quote name='JakeBrownBass' timestamp='1333912413' post='1608196'] A 'Bass' Drum generally refers to the largest drum in an orchestra. [/quote] True, but it's VERY rare to be in an orchestra that has percussion including said 'bass' drum AND a drum kit, so it's very rare that such a distinction is needed... Personally, I think you're right though. The drum on a kit should be referred to as a 'kick' drum. Also makes things easier when you're labelling up the PA and/or recording desk because you can have 'bass' and 'kick'... To conclude. Drummers are idiots!

pietruszka Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Cat is coming up rather a lot. It seems like a pretentous name to me, and a very good point, if you're not a cat does that make you a kitten? And if you go beyond cat would that make you a Thundercat? [quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1333910216' post='1608142'] 'The tone' I find the word tone infuriating.... For example : 'I really found my tone with these new strings' kill me now.. growl bark bite any other similar meaningless adjective. [/quote] Yep, 'tone' boils my piss to. Like its the be all and end all. It's not and no one notices so please just crack on with playing! However! I do use growl, I have to admit.

Roland Rock Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 [quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1333903241' post='1608001'] "in the zone" WTF does that mean? Within walking distance of the correct note? [/quote] The phrase itself is a bit corny, but the concept is valid, albiet somewhat intangible.

kevin_lindsay Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 People referring to instrumental tracks as "songs" - if there aren't any lyrics then surely it's a "tune" rather then a "song"?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzneck Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) [quote name='Jayben' timestamp='1333891761' post='1607789'] Bass drum instead of kick. A small thing but can be so confusing in the studio if your drummer is lazy with his vocabulary and just says 'bass'. 'Shred' [/quote] Kick Drum!
