Larry
"Uncle Larry"
...he plays too loud. Or takes too many fills. Or insert whatever disgruntles you here. Have you ever heard this before? I bet you have.
Are people just being respectful when prefacing their dislikes, "he's a good drummer but.."
Or do they really think he's a good drummer despite the glaring faults?
Not sure. It seems like if they were really happy with the person, they wouldn't list grievances.
I overheard a comment where a guy said, so and so's a good drummer, as long as you "dance his dance". I'm not sure if this person likes most of what that drummer does and is annoyed by some things, or if he really doesn't like playing with this person and is being nice. Probably somewhere in the middle. I know that this person tends to give a rock treatment to everything he plays, genre notwithstanding. (JimFiore, did I use notwithstanding in the right context?)
Any thoughts?
