Apples to oranges?

I'm comparing what I heard on one arranger with what I heard on another...

One of them didn't sound that good

Maybe, in the organ world, you are playing pedals, comping LH and leading with the right. All you need is a little timekeeping, and you are happy. Thing is, this is an ARRANGER forum. And, in the arranger world, the styles themselves are your backing band. You can be the world's best sax player, but if your combo don't swing, you still sound like poo.

Come on, Bill. You yourself admit the drums pretty much suck on the Wersi. And, where I come from, if your drums suck, that's it. Game over.

Organists have always seemed to tolerate the 'boom chick-a dunk-ah' drum beats and sounds, because the whole POINT of the organ experience is to emphasize the organ. Arrangers, OTOH, are all about trying to emulate REALITY. And 'boom chik-a dunk-a' ain't real. Not in my book, anyway...
