So, there's live drums, electronic/programmed drums, ambient music with no drums, syncopated rhythms, electronic drums played with a live drummer (a la Zach Hill in Death Grips), crazy rhythms, simple 4/4 dance rhythms, IDM/breakbeat freakouts, jazz drumming, improvisation, subby 808 drums, dry live drums, etc…
Lots of aspects in drums/rhythm/percussion sections. What do you want from the music you listen to/like the most? What's IMPORTANT to you when you listen to drums?
(Also let's not forget that drums aren't necessarily the only parts...

That they are expressive, tasteful, and well played.
This basically means that 90% of drums in music end up being very boring.
>>55378083
Death Grips makes some cool music for sure but Zach Hill's drumming is really annoying. It's hardly technically proficient, instead relying on a blur of single-stroke rolls that so often fall off tempo that it moves past the point of "tastefully in and out of time, creating a nice pocket" to "uncomfortably missing the beat."
He's cute though.
Hey /mu/ my old harddrive recently broke down and now all my music is gone. Does anyone have a zippyshare/mega/magnent link with all /mu/ essentials.

Electronic music started as an art form, rock music started as a dance music for plebs, how come now it's easier to find rock music with artistic merit, but to get to good electronic stuff you have to go through a lot of shit
>>55378005
electronic music just started as a new way to produce sounds. It was mostly used by avantgarde composers because at the time it wasn't an EASIER way to make music. Your average commercial music producer had no interest in dealing with al those knobs and wires to get some bleeps and bloops. "electronic music" is not a genre.
>>55378005
it became super easy to make. even easier than pop rock. it started as an artform because only rich white artists had access to it. it was considered art because it was used to produce sounds that no one had heard before-- it would have been very difficult to make popular music on early electronic equipment anyways.
>>55378005
Stop assuming electronic music = EDM and/or only listening to what Fantano rates highly.
Who have you met and what was the context?

When you say you have a favorite drummer / guitarist / whatever, what criteria are you judging them by? Technical proficiency? Versatility? Songwriting?
Who are your favorites?
For me its style. Technicality doesnt mean shit unless they have an apparent style.
As a bassist, my personal favourite is Eric Judy from Modest Mouse because I really like how his parts fit into the song/his melodic type of basslines.
>>55376317
>Technical proficiency? Versatility? Songwriting?
All should be taken into account, along with creativity, innovation and performance.

Itt: post sub-genres of music you absolutely can-not stand and others try to recommend you albums from those said sub-genres that might change your mind a bit.
Genres I hate
>pop punk
>folk punk (i like the violent femmes tho)
>meme rap (I like actual hip hop like digable planets so there's really no point in this on other than to say I dislike it)

Meme rap isn't actually a thing, anon.
Is there anything more tryhard than smoking while performing?
Jazz musicians who did it looked cool as fuck. Saw an old video of Miles performing on tv. And after his solo, he just walked back and was talking and smoking with another dude in the band while someone else was soloing. It was the complete opposite of tryhard.
But that pic looks tryhard.
So maybe it just depends.
Like, if the dude were sitting at the piano with a cigarette hanging from his mouth, I'd think that's pretty cool too.
>>55358373
that's eric judy from modest mouse
they're a group of hicks from washington so they probably smoke a lot so i'd assume it's just natural for them
>>55358100
in my neck of the woods you cant smoke indoors anywhere
How exactly did David Bowie innovated in popular music? It seems to me that his overall contributions were focusing on the image rather than the music.
>>55358886
>It seems to me that his overall contributions were focusing on the image rather than the music.
This is correct.
>>55358886
and how many hugely popular artists today do you see who put more into their music than their image?
Exactly.
>>55358886
Don't think of it as style over substance.
Think of it as style as an end in and of itself.
