How do you react to criticism? I absolutely LOVE informed opinions and constructive criticism. Obviously there are a few people who just rant and say negative stuff to get a reaction, and that’s also OK. (I take it as a compliment if anybody actually takes the time and burn the kilojoules to write a comment and post it.. whether it’s out of jealousy or respect.) I absolutely thrive on experienced and/or passionate drummers and musicians giving constructive criticism, it only provides information to help better myself in terms of drumming.
That said, I hate being compared to other drummers; and I feel that is something any musical performer can do without. Music was NEVER supposed to be a competition, never supposed to be a sport; each musician is way too unique to be compared to ANY other.
