what makes a good performance?

[alone_for_now]

mga sir, sa opinyon nyo, nasa gamit ba o sa skill ang basehan ng isang magandang tugtog? ...sa tingin ko kasi,  50% ng performance ay nasa gamit at 50% din sa skill, ... naimagine ko lang po kasi kung ang isang mahusay (PRO) na drummer ay pagamitin ng sobrang pangit na kit (worn out heads,cracked cymbals  ...etc.) , maganda pa rin kaya tugtog ng band nila?o kaya naman ang isang bagong drummer na basic beats ang gagamitin sa mga songs nila ay pagamitin naman ng sobrang high-end na kit na naka-mic in ng malupit.... 
kaya ko ito naitanong kasi kadalasan sa mga bar gigs / battle of the bands, not necessarilly sa mga drummers lang, ay nagiging basehan talaga ng galing ng banda ang gamit na dala nila (ex. good cymbals/snare drum, effects, guitars) ... sana share po kayo ng mga experiences nyo na naging basehan hindi lang ang skill kundi pati na rin ang gamit...
(kung may ganito na pong topic, pasensya na po,hehe....)

thanks!

more on skill 

[cavsdieagram]

sometimes kahit anong lufet na ng skill ung drummer kung (worn out heads,cracked cymbals  ...etc.) ang papagamit, tlgang walang mangyayari. kung sa mga bars nmn asahan na natin na medyo sablay nga ung ibang kit so medyo sagwa ng tugtugan... that's why, ang paraan nlng nga eh magdala nlng ng sariling gamit...

meron nga iba bands na medyo sikat na eh, nagdadala pa ng sariling amps eh...

sa tin nmn mga drummers, cymbals lang ska snare maganda sound quality...pwede na...

well your equipment affects your sound of course..but major percentage of it is how are you goin to control this equipments..so skill is a major factor..well for me as long as your happy and enjoyin on your drumming and performance..then its a good performance.. ..heeya

Like what I often say...  Maganda man ang gamit o hinde, nasa gumagamit pa rin yan.

To put it in a simpler way, it's how you own the kit not how the kit owns you. If you are being owned by the kit during a gig, expect the worst. Syempre kasi dito tayo nagdedepende sa tunog natin. Kung panget ang tunog natin, nawawalan tayo ng gana. Usually kasi ang dinadala lang sa gig either cymbals, pedals and snares para at least kahit na swangit yung kit, you can still own it. And I believe it puts a distinguishing sound to your drumming if you bring your own kits. Parang thumbmark mo na yun....

I agree.

However a drummer is limited by the quality of instrument he is playing, that limitation should be viewed as a challenge rather than excuse for poor performance.

for a good performance, the drummer has to be skilled and has a lot of showmanship. it doesn't matter on how good your set is, or how numerous your cymbals could be (but everyone knows that lots of cymbals capture the audience's eye ). nasa tumutugtog yan..

it's on the drummer.. kung pano ka makipagcommunicate with the crowd...
kung disco.. kung pano mo mapapgroove ang tao.. why play "out" in disco.?
e di nawala na sa groove ung dance ng tao.. bsta mga ganung simpleng bagay...

For me talking about Good performance is quite jargon. Equipment and skills are required if we are longing for Good performance. like Danny Carey and other pro drummers equipment is a must in playing their stuff and we all know that being a Drummer is very expensive. but there's some drummers play with the equipment na "ok na".like "Bagets" I watched him several times with Pido in Off the Grill every Thursday playing not so good equipments but definitely doing not Good but "Great" performance. And this is the time when we say "nasa gumagamit lang yan".

Yes, that's true! But we all know who we are and we are not like bagets and other pro drummers that need not high end quality equipments to have a good performance. But we are trying to and definitely "magiging ganon din". and for me both performance and equipments will do. To make jobs easier and cool!...hope that helps....

walang magaling na banda kung sobrang pangit ng sound system lalo na kung nasa malaking venue. kahit na sobrang galing mong mag drums o mag gitara kung di ka naman naririnig ng maayos, walang kwenta diba?
