    Blues Drums

    Blues drums have the image of being easy to play. This contrasts with playing blues guitar which is considered to be a difficult art. Anyway, suspect saying blues drums is easy is not all accurate. Why might it not be the case?

    Jazz Drums

    It is considered the hardest drums to play. Anyone have any idea on why that might be the case? Anyway, a lot of drummers didn't grow up in the jazz age, so it might be tough for them to catch on. Well, I don't think it's that difficult, but I've been studying it since high school, though.

    What are your thoughts on Snoop Dog?

    He is very talented and charismatic. Of course, his hardcore style and lifestyle will offend people. Anyway, he is a good businessman too - as he uses his image to successfully sell his and other people's products. Who has seen him in commercials?

    People Against Grunge

    Some people say grunge killed rock. However, a lot of other people equally disliked glam metal/rock. Of course, the beef against glam metal is that it was all about money and chicks and the beef against grunge is that it is too serious.

    Getting Signed as a Rock Band

    I don't know if signed bands get as much money as in the past. Well, one guy from my hometown is in a recently signed band and It would be interesting to see how things work out.

    Are you a fan of Greenday?

    They are OK, but they seem too political. Of course, I'm not oversensitive about that stuff, but it is a mild turnoff. Of course, some musicians, like Ted Nugent, that are political don't really show it in lyrics.

    Did you ever consider being a music teacher?

    I did one time. However, it was tough to manage the students. It's sad because that would have been a dream job for me.

    Music video games recommendation?

    I've played Drum Hero and it was a blast. I'm sure Guitar Hero is fun too. Who has tried these games? How well did you do? Now, I play drums, but I found Drum Hero to be challenging because the playing was very fast on some songs.

    Do you think Elvis Presley would still be as popular today if he was still alive?

    Some people didn't like Elvis' later stuff. I suppose he would have kept being bashed had he lived on. John Lennon was quoted saying that the Sun Record era was good enough for him.

    The Long and Winding Road Controversy

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Long_and_Winding_Road There was a lot of controversy over what was seen as orchestra over-kill. Well, do you find the song annoying? I don't actually. What is "too much", you think?

    Dolly Parton, anyone?

    She's a very nice woman and generous. Her business somewhat near my former hometown in Tennessee, brings joy to millions every year. It's a theme park called Dollywood. Anyway, though, I'm not so crazy about her music. It's OK, but I suppose everyone has their own taste.

    Paul McCartney and Wings

    His band after the Beatles was something else and also the work, he did in between Wings and the Beatles where it was just his name on it. Who else likes Wings? Well, their music isn't all rock or pop, but seems to have songs in both genres. He did write a lot of sappy love songs, but I...

    Traditional vs. Modern Instruments: Which is Better?

    Traditional instruments have this unplugged charm about them. That's one reason MTV Unplugged was so popular, I think. On that show, the artists who normally rocked out on loud instruments jammed on acoustic stuff.

    Discuss the pros and cons of buying new vs. used musical instruments

    Here is some fun trivia for you! Willie Nelson usually plays the same beat-up guitar he had from a long time ago. Who knew that? He just keeps repairing it. Someone joked drums were for rich kids when I was in high school, but that's not the case anymore. About anyone can buy a used set...

    What's Your Favorite Musical Instrument and why?

    Mine is the drums. However, I really love the guitar and bass guitar too. The piano can be very interesting, but it's not top on my list. Of course, this is from the POV of playing the instrument.

    How to get signed?

    Definitely it takes a lot of hard work at your project. You gotta do that at the very least. I don't know who hasn't done that.

    Who plays rock?

    Have you played with any bands or had any other musical project? How did that go? What are some future plans?

    Do you still buy vinyl records?

    I don't but it would be a cool hobby to get into. What is holding me back now is money. Definitely if I can get back on track, I want to collect, but not sell. Well, Wal-Mart has several I like.

    Appreciating Singers with Unconventional Vocal Abilities

    Whitney Houston was definitely a songbird, and I could name more people if given time. Yeah, the vocals can be awesome from certain people. It's definitely as much a talent as with someone playing an instrument.

    Songs That Could Do Without the Lyrics

    Shiny Happy People has an awesome riff. However, REM could have done without the lyrics. Do you all know more songs like that? Why do you feel that way?
