How in the crap are you supposed to "surprise" Thomas Lang? Ambidextrous bastard...

[dylanacious]

But remember this,yeah God gave you the gift,but it's you that are responsible for developing it! Yes you are right sir in saying that. But if you don't take what you've been blessed with and develop it?If someone asked you,Man! how'd you get so good? would you say "well man,God did it"Or say i worked many days and hours developing my skills.Who else got you where you are musically my friend,by practicing or did God magically just go WHAM! your good. It's you bro,talent from God skills on you.

@dusteroo dude what the heck are you saying...are you seriously implying that when contest judges choose a competitor with one style over others with different styles they are sending the message that the other styles are 'wrong'?? how wrong you are in understanding what it means when someone says 'it's all fun, don't take it seriously' is what's pitiful...don't take it so seriously bro

[bananapooptime]

@dylanacious yup, God doesn't just make you amazing but he does lead you to where you're supposed to be...everything we have we owe to him so if anything the attitude should be 'God thank you for allowing me to get my skill in this craft where it is."

ganqstar ! maddd!!!! Jeremy Flood II , the man !

[brianshepherd15]

@dusteroo have you never competed or won? it can be a little strees full but it is fun

[dusteroo]

I frown on when society over-rates and sensationalizes a certain concept of musical creativity, by 'weeding out' any other musical styles and concepts as 'inferior', when the *entire thing* is subjective.

I cringe when some bastard says "It's all in the fun; don't take it serious", all while they're mixing competitiveness, favoritism/exclusionism and narrowing society's sense of 'creativity', by clearly implying to the 'losers' that their ideas aren't "right".

Fucking pitiful.

maciverandy u are right

church drummers are very dominante in the usa music scene and not because they got jesus on their side or anything , its just a place that give kids a decent drum set and a place to pratice all day long(which all of us drummers knows how priceless that is)

ive seen some really impressive stuf in that competition so i asume anyone who disses is a 12 year old boy

[ilukari]

[Mr1995Piggy]
