I actually agree with everything you said, except one thing, see you called Travis Barker an artist, he's not an artist he is just some retarded berzerker who happens to be holding drumsticks and sitting behind an expensive (ugly) drumkit while someone was filming him. I don't hate the guy though, I just don't understand why he is so vastly overated.

Unreal, the 4 dislikes must be the crackheads - freakin' legend playing on his leg, golden, golden.

@77mcbaker Sir, as I read it, your graceless and decidedly ageist put-down reveals a less than perfect personality in the critic. Mr Hart is 71 y.o.a.; can't you cut him a bit of slack? Were you perhaps expecting more attention than he had to give you? As for how you'd kill him on drums, will you play drums better than he does now when YOU are 71? His legendary status is, of course, partly due to his associations during a golden era, but that is at least partially true of most jazz "greats".

@77mcbaker I met Dave Leibman and felt the same way, but I now think back and recognized it might have just been an off day for him. Musicians don't always have the best personalities off stage, but we come to hear the music. I like personable musicians though, but don't take Hart's comments to heart. I would re-listen to his work with the other giants. Jazz drumming isn't always about killing all the time, it's about supporting. We're in the rhythm section, not up front (guitarist talking).

I met this guy last year.. what a freaking egotistical douchebag. Id kill this guy on drums any day.. Listen to what he's playing here.. wack. I know this dude's a "legend" but in this case i think it just means he's just old

Because more and more new & experienced drummers are forgetting the traditional ways, some don't even have a clue about any real drummers like buddy rich. They look up to people like Travis Barker and other modern artists.
BRING BACK THE TRADITIONAL WAYS!
