hi guys
i watched benny grebs dvd recently and the listening section (or the musical part) made me think about my approach to or my perception of drumming. i started to feel like i'm not listening to the music as if it were music, but rather analytically. i tend to analyze the drums, thinking "could i play that", and tapping along to find out what kind of beat the drummer plays. besides that i think i'm picking the music i listen to from an analytical perspective as well. i think i choose music which is rather complex and/or fast. this unfortunately results in me not being able to play my "favourite" songs, which again results in frustration.
i sometimes feel like music is something "random" to me (if you understand what i'm saying) and it seem that i don't look for an overall feel or groove or a certain mood in music. for me music has become a pattern.
i don't know if anyone else feels the way i do (i used the search engine but i didn't find very much), but maybe someone can help me become a bit more musical instead of analytical. btw. i have played in a band and i'm currently starting over with another band but i still feel rather weird
greetings
