i reached to the mid section i couldn't watch it any longer it bored my ass off totally. besides his 4/4 snare hits and at some point doubles and 3 type of fills (that had been the same ~ ) he did NOTHING.
i hate drummers like that. i cant hear it.
and the song aint something 1 and half musical points = AYDY
sorry but i dont like this stuff at all
Well that's such a weak argument. Just because a song doesn't have a bunch of time changes or doesn't have a riff in 16/9, doesn't mean it sucks. Even Steve Vai could agree with me on that.
Music is written for enjoyment and listening pleasure, if it achieves that, then it's worht it. And that's what I love about X Japan, it's not the most complex, but it's really fun to play and to listen to.
And surely he could play odd beats and more musically complex passages, but like I said, his drumming is there to serve a musical purpose (and to fit in musically), which in this case it's just straight 4/4 beats.
You gotta learn to appreciate simple(er) music too...
Oh yeah and just for reference Yoshiki (X Japan's drummer) is more of a piano player than he is a drummer so....
and here, download this, it's supposed to be one of their more complex drumming songs, but then again it just proves my point.
