Re: Shooting others down
Heh I've noticed this too. I just got back from playing snare at junior band for arts fest, in senior band there are two drummers, and a piano player that plays snare. One has been playing for seven years, the other a girl, (who is on the kit) has only been playing for one.
We were tuning all the drums on the stage before the show (mine in particular just wouldn't tune :(] and the girl left, the guy was saying she did was not good, she couldn't keep time, always off beat... etc. While for the most part he was right, she was only playing for a year, I guess he was just offended that he, despite playing for seven years, didn't get picked to play the kit. (he was on suspended cymbals, yeah, what a joke for a percussionist with seven years of experience.)
Anyways, in a nice way I basically said, dude just give it a rest, who cares, not much you can do now anyway, the concert is in half an hour.
