i feel a little under the microscope coz of the drummers around you who are in-the-know and at the same time excited and constructive coz by by keeping an open-mind to criticisms/comments/suggestions I am able to suck it all up and improve, kumbaga free lessons and feedback which is really what anyone should expect when trying to develope his craft.
I would feel intimidated and agitated at the same time if it wasn't for the inherent cammaraderie among drummers. I duno if you noticed this ha, but drummers really have this 'community' or 'help each other' thing going...parang: "hey man cool chops you did back there, can you teach me that part when you did so and so" and shempre a drummers answer would 'usually' be: "thanks dude, but not really, see it goes something like this..." whereas in 'some' other hobbies of mine, medyo defensive and antagonistic or at least reserved, something like: "nah man, you're doing it wrong, i'm still not showin you my stuff" or "first is you gotta have a "2007 brand series x1.2 collector's edition" (gadget boast) attached to a "brand x generation 18" to be able to pull that off."
i guess if you'd even take a look at this lovely drummers forum of ours, everyone is calm and collected and the spirit of cammaraderie is always there. walang aggressive, well except for a select and random few i guess, they add colour and excitement anyway.
hahaha im not generalising, its only based on my observation (which is subjective). tama na drama, walang magawa dito sa office eh.
