...to Fretaio i was not trying to convince any one of that theory because if you go back and read my comments i said that was my opinion and not yours and the last time i check this was a web site for musician to share their knowledge and (OPINIONS) not try to convince any one, Because if thats the case then who's to say that what any person has said on this entire web site is a fact/truth,
You answered this statement on this post in the pocket thread....
Sorry but i disagree with you Sabe, Because the true meaning of playing the pocket is simplely hi hat,snare and bass and for every time we all hit a cymbol or tom or etc we just left the pocket even if it was for 2 seconds.... But once again this can still go as just my opinion and alot more big name cats opinion, which is why God gave us our own mind to belive nothing but the truth (WHAT EVER THAT IS) and what ever else we want to belive, Peace and God bless.
Although you said this is your "opinion", as underlined, you stated that there is a
"true meaning" for pocket. This implies that your opinion is no longer an opinion but fact. But it returned to being an opinion because you couldn't support it with facts. Especially in relation to drumming as a whole & across all genres.
What Sabe & everyone else has been saying is that pocket is interpreted differently & there are guidelines to what pocket is but there can't be a "true meaning" or definition. E.g. Jazz pocket is different to latin pocket which is different to Rock...
From your previous posts it looks like your starting to understand this... thats good.Just because everyone else like the cilp does not mean i had to.(TRY TO BE A LEADER NOT A FOLLOWER IF YOU CAN ??) Alot of people only said they like the clip because of other cats said they did who names are Known on this site,
I never said for you to like the vids or to follow the crowd. But your reference to pocket was unjustified especially when the original post said...
WARNING: this video has very little pocket!! some time this week Im going to post a video with no CRAZY fills jus some nice grooves. Would that be cool?
I'm going to ignore the leader reference. As far as I am concerned I've only ever been at the back of the bus on this site. It''s just not encouraging environment when someone like yourself comes on here & says "No! This is the truth! I'm not going to learn from LGM because [INSERT FAMOUS DRUMMER] told me about this & I haven't studied or searched for the knowledge myself so I believe him..."but you got to keep it real and be honest and don't be a follower and agree, if you do not like some say you don't which is exactly what i did.So don't get mad at me for voiceing my opinion just respect it and keep it moving playboy.
I'm not mad brother. It's all said in love. But I will admit "You have a wonderful way with words".
P.S. ( NOW LETS SEE HOW INTELLIGENT YOU CAN BE ON YOUR RESPONSE). GOD Bless
I will not retaliate with the "intelligence" comment because were all here to learn. God Bless you too.
