I hear ya kbrkr!

It's funny how other musos tend (I'm generalising here) to blame the drummer, when the drummer (usually) has a MUCH better idea where "1" is than they do!

I get many comments from people (musos and non-musos) about how perfectly timed my keyboard playing is!

"Most keyboard players seem to be too fast or slow" they say.

I haven't the heart to tell 'em I was a formally trained Drummer since the age of 9!!

It makes a difference!
