Have you ever heard speed metal, thrash metal, etc.? Drum sound in these

you're right.
i've been living in a cave all these years -_-
was nixon re-elected?
is vietnam over?

and, indeed, i quite understand the significance of double bass in in that
music.
never mind that this is a significant digression from talk of keith moon,
simon king etc

more to the point
i _really_ dislike the genres you mention
with, of course, a few exceptions. [yo, rmayo!]


personally, i would much prefer the sound of 'driving straight ahead'
to the sound of a hovercraft or helicopter.

to rock is to be driving straight ahead.
