Re: The great drum debate
What Rick said. I think it's about playing for the music... and meshing as a group.
You can put 5 great musicians together and get a great band. But, you can put 5 "good" musicians together and get a great band as well (maybe even better). It depends on how they mesh together, play off each other, the attributes and feel they bring to the mix, etc.. Sometimes the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
It's like building a race engine. You can assemble all the best high-dollar performance parts together you want, but if they're not properly chosen to work together as a system and complement each other, it will disappoint terribly. On the flip side, you can take a basically stock engine, assemble a few well chosen but mild performance parts, and have a real screamer.

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
