If by that you meant what was popular, than your argument is illogical anyway. I assure you African drumming was a lot more popular for a lot longer in Africa than Jazz ever even got close to in America. Quote:

Step 2: Type in "Steel Drum" (or any of the other hundreds of percussion instruments that produce many different notes). Step 3: Read. Step 4: STFU. You are so ****ing ignorant it's ridiculous. You obviously have no clue what you are talking about.

And so flaming him bit by bit was a better solution?
How is his subjective definition any less valid than your subjective definition? Both are subjective opinions. I mean, he falls afoul of a bit of the Argumentum Ad Populum fallacy, for which I asses him -5 points, but -In general- he is speaking of personal preferences, and personal opinions here, which seeing as music so WHOLLY subjective, he's allowed to do, and you're allowed to disagree, but you don't have to do so quite so vehemantly and with so many ad hominem attacks.

Sorry for the apparent implication that I thought drummers aren't musicians. I'm merely trying to explain -why- some people would be less inclined to believe that a drummer is a musician than people who play other instruments.
I believe I stated in my first post in this thread my belief that drummers -are- in fact musicians, and from that point on I've been trying to show what might cause people to believe otherwise. Though, now that I've reviewed the thread, it appears I never really did make my position clear. Allow me to do that now. I believe that drummers are musicians. They create, or help to create, music. Therefore, they are musicians by definition. However, from my experiences, I am able to empathize with those who would believe that drummers are not musicians, and have been trying to show the thought patterns of those with that belief. Call me a devil's advocate if you will. As such, I bear no ill will for your attacks, as I completely agree with you that drummers are in fact musicians. My general points thus far have been: 1) American people are less inclined to believe that drummers alone are musicians, as opposed to those who play other instruments alone. 2) Mainstream drums (what someone thinks of when you say "drum") are limited in their pitch variety in comparison to other instruments (keyword: in comparison), which could possibly contribute to the above statement. 3) In response to the argument about jazz, I stated (or meant to, perhaps it didn't come across clearly) that at one point, jazz was a very popular style of music in America. Thus, American people are likely to consider jazz music. However, American history has not shown a time when solo drumming has been very popular, possibly contributing to statement #1. I think that about covers everything for my general stance, now to respond to your points. Quote:

Also, I won't say anything about that particular attack (as I stated above, I can understand your feelings and don't blame you for it), but as a forewarning, anything more like that and you'll have difficulty in CT. Attacks like that are not exactly encouraged here. Quote:
