okay i was reading my own post about the driving lesson thing. then i saw my new blog name, and i see that it doesn't go with the url. url says drum til you drop, doesn't go with my blog name (even if you understand what it is)

so recently i spill the beans that i'm not so into zingo anymore cause i feel that the passion is gone and some of my drum mates just dont put in effort to bring themselves to the next level. actually i feel that there isnt a next level, it's a basic level. our tempo sucks, if our tempo sucks, our music sucks. you don't hear songs that go slow from the beginning and then the artiste rushes and the song ends with a difference of 100+ bpm from the beginning. it's just not pleasing to the ears.

i'm not saying that i'm the one who put in the most effort or what, the only time i put in effort was when i was composing my score and rehearsing for the concert, and of course teaching the score. it was way back since we knew that we had a tempo issue, a major one. but it doesn't seem to get any better, in fact i think it got worse, there was a time where it was getting somewhere.

what i said during drum practice didn't mean that i'm giving up now, i wanted to give up. now i'm just hanging around hoping to find that lost passion back, this can only come true when i see my drum mates putting in effort to make themselves better musicians, better performers.

tempo is basic in music, passion is basic in a performing group. we lack both. i say we because if only one of us don't make the cut, we all don't. cause we are a group.
