i realise drummers are all hardcore thinkers.
i dono what made me said that.. but i just feel that.
lol.
from the few lessons with my teacher..
just made me realise that without hardwork.. he wont be where he is today.
i think he's super hardworking la.. even though he keep denying.
and he thinks alot.. tries out alot of different patterns, read up alot.. go to alot of gigs. gain alot o exposure.
how i wish i have like 1% of his hardworking-ness and passion.
and he was sharing with me that day..
if any band join any competition.. its a BAND's effort..
everyone in the band must try to work together and bring out the band's song. instead of working 'individually' as oneself in a band.
what he was trying to tell me is that..
he'll give more points to a band that dont really do well individually but plays excellently as a band..
rather then give more points to a band that do well individually but tries to outdo each other in a band and think they'll win.
the ultimate motive of playing in a band is not trying to prove you're damn good.. but its to see how u can play together as a band.. and work with each other.
and bring out the passion in you.
i really think he win already..
such profound words.
dont u think its so meaningful?
and i'm so fortunate to have my teacher telling me all these things that i never ever thought of before.
i once thought that.. perhaps all the good musicians come to play together in a band will be the band that shines..but his words changed my perception of 'playing together in a band'
maybe perhaps.. all the good musicians in a band might not really be a good thing.. because they might just try to outdo each other.. and wont play as good as they should be, as a band.
=)
i'm so fortunate.
anyways.. i'm super slack these two weeks i feel like killing myself man.
i'm not studying.. not doing work, not reading... sometimes i ask myself why am i alive.
it seems like my goal for now is different again.. and i think it'll be always changing.
damn.
sometimes i feel like i'm in the worng course.. but i still wanna do music..
but sometimes i feel so helpless that i feel like just not doing anything.
aiya.. maybe i'm just not feelin all the stress.
like.. i'm suppose to hand in an assignment soon.. but i'm here typing all these shit.
anyways.. i think my course people really slack la..
and i hope i wont screw up my concert on thursday cause i heard some guys in my class screwed up today =X
