In any case, as much as I appreciate good technique, it's in the style of playing for me. I'll throw Nick Mason, Keith Moon, Bill Ward, Ian Paice and Chris Hakius as some of my favourites, and if you don't know who they are, go listen to some proper music for a change.
Loled.
I didnt know who they are, i looked them up, i realised i listen to 3 of them (Black Sabbath,Deep Purple and Pink floyd).
But define proper music, how is it that their proper music and anything else isnt?
How can you not know Keith Moon of The Who?! Regardless, the bit about proper music was more of a joke than anything else, but does make, me, and hopefully someone else as well, to think about what exactly makes a series of sounds music? Is it just a rythm and a melody? If you'd (you as in the person reading this post at this very moment, not the the person quoted earlier specifically, altough by all means, do partake if you are so inclined) like to take part in a conversation about this subject matter, feel free, a tought from me in the following paragraph regarding what makes music music. By the way, if you want to dig deeper into the proper music comment, it's by large due to the fact that I generally despise contemporary popular music.
I seem to have gone for a bit of a tangent there, but anyway, the new paragraph:
So, what makes sound music. Factually, it's probably mostly just convention, and "this sounds like music, so it probably is", but at the very core I'm an idealist, so bollocks to that, here's a piece of terribly incoherent thinking from me. For a sequence of sound to be music, I think, it has to provoke an emotional response from the listener, be it happiness, fear, disgust, confusion, or something completely different, and that's about all I can milk out of this train of thought, so yeah, three paragraphs, and half a line of actual content, nice. Oh, and to add to the mess I've already made, Mitch Mitchell. Cheers.
