English is complicated but you don’t improve if people don’t pick you up on mistakes (kindly)

Wasn't it from being hit with goats that had been killed by hammering them to death?

I currently play with an incredibly rare beast of a drummer - he is tasteful, measured and considered.

We have gelled really well, at a recent practice we were working on a new tune and when we got to the end I said I liked what he had been doing with the kick. He replied that he was following my right hand. "That's funny" I said. "My right hand was following your kick!"

Fredie did't died for aids, too and did they found the real murderer of Lennon?

I was endlessly corrected on my use of German when in Austria … that’s why I added “kindly”

 

you could have said “did you really think that …” or “had you really thought/believed/imagined that..”.
 

Both add up to the same thing, but the second one is slightly more archaic in style.

Pastorious was beaten up by night club bouncers, and died.

Which reminds me.. We haven't heard from old @snorkie635 recently...

Hope he hasn't put the batteries in the wrong way round, and electrocuted himself.. the muppet..

I have booked a practice session with our drummer to try to develop our playing relationship. Has anyone done this, did it work and have you any hints please?

Who's idea was it?

In my experience, whenever someone says "maybe you and I can get together and work on that a bit"  it usually means that one person, isn't happy with what one other person is doing. 

 

You'll either end up addressing, but not necessarily sorting the problem, (possibly risky) or spend three hours delicately sidestepping it. Good luck though, in principle, a good idea.
