yeah well fück you guys, it's late

[QUOTE=timmyjimmy1;14211951]BB, why do you have all that neg rep? ur a good guy[/QUOTE]

Yeah people ask that alot. The reason is, rep went away for a while. It was disabled because people were getting pissy about it. Then it came back, and if you had good reputation there would be a little thing under your name that said "[I]Elite[/I]".
There is (was?) an admin guy named DoubleBassJim who was old, grumpy, and incredibly immature. As soon as the "Elite" status thing came about, he neg repped me like four times just so I couldn't have it. I asked him multiple times why, and I got no answer. He was just simply holding a petty grudge from a clash of personalities.


[QUOTE=Gary Lover;14212111]I have read some of your other posts while lurking about the left foot clave. Why should I not spend time learning it? I think it is fun to solo over and put into grooves. Sure, a lot of guys are doing it now, but it would make me happy as a musician to be able to do. [COLOR="Red"]Also, a lot of non-latin guys are doing it and not playing it very well.[/COLOR] [COLOR="Yellow"]I do not wish to be like that.[/COLOR] It certainly isn't the only thing I am working on. I do not play much authentic latin music; some latin jazz at gigs and jams every now and then. [COLOR="Cyan"]But should that stop me from expanding my vocabulary and musical conciousness?[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Orange"]I am just a bit confused as to why you ask.[/COLOR] No offense meant.


Gary :thumb:[/QUOTE]

[COLOR="red"]Yeah, that's my main deliberation with it. The other thing is that alot of people practice playing clave to a click. It doesn't work like that.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="yellow"]That's good to hear.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="cyan"]No, not at all. If we all lived forever, then I think everyone should know how to clave with their left foot. Or all limbs in fact! It's just that alot of people simply learn left foot clave ostinato stuff because at the moment, thats the cool thing to do.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="orange"]Just because I don't want you to be [I]another [/I]one of these guys who practices it for the sake of trying to be advanced and chopsy.[/COLOR]


I hope everyone likes my colour-coding.

Good points, British Boy.

I understand completely. Left foot clave is a frill and a trend, not a necessity. I would like to see more people come out with different ostinatos involving multiple pitch blocks or something. I think the bar needs to be raised if people insist on getting into that stuff. I have been working on a 5/8 ostinato, but it is moving slowly.

There are many more practical things to work on, though. One thing I have been focusing on is consistancy. The ability to nail a song in one try, and have total groove and sound quality peaked. More people should just practice by taking a groove and just looping it until it is perfect, rather than all this chopsy stuff. It has helped me, anyway. I just thought to myself... why do I stop at learning the coordination for a particular beat? I need to start internalizing and perfecting what drummers do 99% of the time: timekeeping.

Morning chaps.

sup phil?

Hey jonny

phil... did u hear what happened to charlie manson?

My ride didn't come in the mail :(

I might cry.

My kitty cat slept on me all night last night.

And walked.

And purred.

And was very warm and fuzzy and happy.

Wow did I miss the little retard.

[QUOTE=Porkupine;14213305]It is strange that I was actually concerned for somebody I don't even know's kitty.

I don't even really like cats. But still, awesome. You should love that cat twice as much now.[/QUOTE]

Haha, thanks ^-^

I find my cat in the weirdest places.

She likes to find small, warm areas. Like behind the sofa, under a chair next to the radiator and here:
