Deaths: Contrary to popular myth, Mama Cass didn't die by choking on a ham sandwich. But John Denver did die while desperately trying to switch to the reserve fuel tank in the experimental plane he was flying.

Never liked that sort of machine rhythm.
You cannot beat a good drummer. No matter how good they get, machines are not yet able to do the expression that a person with sticks is capable of.

I guess that just raises the question - what is music for and if there's an answer is it something that one limits to a particular range, such as athletic and technical prowess with an instrument?

Each genre of music has parameters and really good artists in that genre show that that they not only know all of the parameters but can use those parameters to transcend the average stuff or, when they break the rules, they do it in a way where they knew the rules so well that they were able to break them from above.

The limits are in the machine, not the man.

A machine could never do this.

I hope I go like my grandpa, quietly in my sleep, not screaming in terror like his passengers.

That's something someone whose never heard a good drummer needs to know because they've never heard a good drummer. It's not someone's concern if a rules of a genre they like aren't centered on athletic prowess.

I had to go back to the original. Since we can't edit, there it is. It's amazing she did that in one take.
