[Phanuthier]

Man your a piece of work

1. I called a kick 1 pedel. The double kick was 2 pedels. Read it again genius

2. And I can link hundreads of MODERN DAY music INCLUDING Nickleback that use what I described.

3. Missing beat? Uhh... ever cosidered the 16th? If you dont' get it, forget about it. I guess it'll be something I have to show you since I've explained it a number of times. In the meantime, listen to some modern-day music and see that constant eighths on the high hat arn't used that often anymore.

4. What your talking about ("Phantum beat") has nothing to do with what I was saying about Rubato. That was a whole seperate argument about you saying that a drummer HAS to keep constant time, whereas I was saying that if you had bothered to listened to music these days, you can see drummers create tension and release through the "feel" of forcing forwards or backwards.

5. Does someone else want to set this tool straight for me? I think I've repeated myself here enough.

6. I asked you simply what was the difference between all the time signictures. 4.4 has 4 quarters, why is that different from 2/2 who also has 4 quarters?

7. No, wrong again. A rimshot is when you hit the head and the rim at the same time. This is different.

8. Where did I say that? God, AGAIN, I said that the common beat is repeated alot in 2 bar stanza's.

(Last paragraph)
I had no intention of proving my worth. In fact, I didn't even expect you to ask, but when you started doubting me, I gave you my credentials. Simply put, I never expected this to be a competition of who was better, becasue I don't know you in person. What I do know, however, is that I have a high enough level of music to be able to cretic a piece of music or band, which I have done. What you have done, just like every other convo you decide to stick your butt in, is come flaming out with inflammatory remarks, insults and name calling. Way to go, Lanny. As sadi before, music is a interest, not a profession for me.

As for me... you laugh at what you want. I have a certain level of musical skill certified by the RCM, and I have played in one of the, if not, top non-profit percussion ensambles in Canada. From your posts, you seemed like a royal stiff who had never touched a drum set in your life, but I could be wrong. While you haven't played in 3 years, I quit drums about 2 years ago when I left for school and I still think I have enough to play with anyone. I know you're a arrogant little ####, and while you go around pointing fingers, you might want to look into the mirror about who starts the inflammatory remarks. Again, just to repeat for you, my initlal point was that I had played enough music to know what is easy and what is simple. You challenged me to see what I got, so I delivered. I never said I was better then you or anyone else, I was merely proving that who I was. Unlike you, I don't have the inferiority complex of wanting to see who's better, or to go around playing one-upmanship over a message board.

(PS: Yeah, my spelling sucks. I know it. But welcome 2004, where there is spell check to cover your ass! Spelling sure isn't hurting me in school, so I'm not overly worried. Besides, some of the best writers in the world can't spell worth dick.)
