How timely to get on the forum and see a thread titled "Leave Me Alone", because I want to post one titled that too, but with a different twist. "You jealous, no-nothing-about-drums-wanta-be's, LEAVE ME ALONE!" Quit telling me after a performance that my drums are out of tune.... Stop telling me that my rolls aren't smooth enough (from jazz players, and I'm a rocker), stop telling me that my great Ludwig set sounds flat ("Sorry dude, but I have Remo Emperor heads on for a reason, and my drums aren't tuned to musical notes.. they're tuned to John Bonham's tuning because it's a Bonham-size set!).... etc... etc.. etc.... Why are there always people that try and tell you what your drums should sound like and how you should play? Why do wanta-be jazz players try and tell a rock player how to do rolls? At the same time that these wanta-bees are telling you you should play different and your drums should be different, 10-times as many people, including other musicians, are telling you that you sound great!
Have you guys all experienced such things? I just want to tell these weirdo's "Dude, go tell it to my 2 classic rock band groups, my church worship team, and the other people I play for that love me playing for them."
Am I perfect, and have no room for improvement? Of course not.. have a long way to go.. but these people that either aren't musicians and think they are, or don't play the same genre of music are very annoying...
People, "Leave me ALONE!"
