Don't Hate The Pocket Just Make Change...

...ah yes.  Finally....

...I agree with you all the way mane.  Don't know about the ruining your "high" thing though.     LOL

Ha.

High = That special place where the music takes you. I

I'm not talking about "herbally-induced escapism", lol ... whether for medicinal or recreational purposes.

Frankly, and in my most humble opinion, until a drummer actually starts to FEEL the music, asking someone to groove, is like asking them to write a sonnet in Sanskrit. Yeah, exactly...

...when a drummer has yet to reach the point where they appreciate & feel the MUSIC, they'll be reduced to being mere time-keepers, when they're not twirling sticks & making a mockery of the the words 'tasteful placement'...

Trust me, I know. All the technique in the world doesn't make you a musician, as far as I'm concerned. When you come to appreciate the music, then you won't feel the need to kill the groove with your over-playing. That would seem criminal, 'cause you'd be ruining your high as well...

What scripture is this?     Good word!

High = That special place where the music takes you.

...dude, everytime I play I'm trying to take it there.  I remember this one time I was so deep into a groove that I totally forgot about all of the people, time and even instrument.  It was like not only could I hear each note that everyone else was playing including the ones I was playing with clarity but feel each and every one of 'em.  It was some crazy Matrix type of thing.  

...the coolest thing of all was that the rest of the band felt the exact same way.

...yeah man.  After the session, we were all looking at each other like....."yeah, that was crazee."  I mean, it was like you can hear where the bandmates were taking the music without them speaking or using sign language.lol  It was definetly a spiritual thing man.
