Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmm not sure what to say! I know this tho, you guys are hilariuos on here :DLMAO!!!!!!!!! this is toooooo much conversation about the "Obvious" ok now ya'll got me doing it..........but real talk JWilliams you must know everything about what youre going to do before you do it with anything! not just music, because people will eat you alive homie if you're game doesnt match your conversation. i've been critiqued sooo much for my style of play it became my fuel to keep doing it thesame way because, its was working for me and the artist loved it also. So just know opinions are always going to exist and they should because it shows what you're made of and it definitely separates the men from the boy's, the strong or the weak. The fellas were just chiming in to be of help because thats really what this site is for. But i do realize that sometimes we can come accross like we kwow everything and for some of us we do but, never discount a cats advice just because he hasnt done what you think one with the experience can tell you or give advice on. Experience is experience and your post is pretty simple to know that one MUST!! get clearence to do documented music for retail or self promotion, it's not only business its also respect for the artist that toiled and worked tirelessly to create the music we love. So if anything they were simply tring to cover you my man, or atleast make sure you're on top of your game. And yes we all need to study to be more creative and wise about the way we communicate our thoughts with one another, but also work on not reacting before we think. Humility is a practice not a idea. So in this new season of your life and career know going in that you will have to always answer questions from Pro's or Joes because knowledge is not legit just because it came from a pro (or what we think a pro is). Keep playing homie and allow GOD to guide you in which way to go. And if you plan on doing an Instructional DVD have more to say musically then what you've posted because that aint enough, the things youre playing have already been played so, make sure youre being broad in what youre trying to get the world to do or buy into because, youre name will enternally be tied to this project and be among thousands of other drum dvd's that are better, worse, broad, narrow, intense or simple. It will be documented. Stay encouraged fam and keep doin whatcha doin, timing is everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! much love fellas!
