Are you always in control?
>That’s a great question:)))
— Interview question by Sergio, from Black’s site.
OK, a little more:
“[D]rums and guitar suffer from serious technical sportsperson-like abuse, which can be fun, of course, but that has nothing to do with what I consider music. The technique only is there to serve the bigger musical picture – again, sounds pretty damn obvious but genius technique is the kiss of death to most students until they go through an identity crisis when they realize they are not hearing a note of what they play (a great realization actually), then they find the what and the why of their music. That’s all I am trying to do as well, and everyday I ask myself those questions, which is my form of self teaching/realization.”
I am happy to help you with any of the materials on the site, and with anything else drumming related— contact me for private lessons, online world wide, or in person in Portland, Oregon. All levels of players, and all people, are welcome.
