I've had many situations where drummers, keyboard players, or others didn't have the listening skills required to respond to the producer. Drummers hitting the accelerator (or anybody upping the intensity) by pounding on a ride cymbal during solos instead of locking into a supporting groove...very common among the less professional. The best, like Hal Blaine, Steve Gadd et al, know how to make things work in by simply having the talent to do so.
Personality Type?
I was musing lately after my last perusal of the forum postings....Got me wondering about personality types on here and if there is a common thread. I, myself, am an INTP and I seem to see some parallels with the members of this forum. I am an Engineer and a musician that plays drums. As an Engineer I was quite aware that although collaboration could be fruitful, I was aware that pursuing an idea alone was fruitful as well. I also think that because of my personality, I am fine with being more in the background playing the drums. So then, I am just a bit curious if the members of this forum are more alike than different than the general population?
