I find that my students learn to read quickly because I make them write. Imagine trying to teach a 1st grader how to read without them ever writing anything. It's infinitely easier to input if you also know how to output.

It's funny because I posted this looking for arguments from both ends, but I just disregard anything going towards not learning to read. Hypocritical I guess
But as much as I'd like to learn, I'm just not dedicated enough right now. Unlike many of you, I'm a teenager and would rather party
So, you don't want to use a metronome or learn to read music. Sounds like you are drumming for the ladies and not the music.
Amirite?
The laziness is what keeps me from learning to read, and metronomes are just annoying

That's your choice and that choice is totally fine. It's your journey and you can travel whatever road you choose to get there. That road might limit you in the future, it might not.....only time will tell. But if you started this topic looking for validation of those choices, then I reckon you're gonna find the chorus will be pretty light on.
At DW the legit approach rules and most advice is pretty well what comes from serious music school ... meanwhile lackadaisical three-beers-and-rock-out drummers appear to be a large, somewhat cowed, rump on the forum.
It is not important until someone wants to pay you a bunch of money to play their music, and they hand you the sheets . . . .
