We had a fill in bass player on a gig back in February. He decided to "spice up" the traditional Bluegrass songs (unannounced) by playing a fast jazz style walk all up and down the neck, jumping octaves and throwing in all kinds of jazz licks. To say it messed up the groove and feel of the songs is an understatement. I bet the look on my face was priceless when he cut loose

Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!
"I think that feeling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts." ~ John Bonham
