>>Yes, the 160.. no 180.. no 205.. no 190.. no 200.. no 195.6.. no 214.61 bpm swings in the drummer's cut of "Mack the Knife" were justified.>>

214.61?

Cummon now, mack the knife is a pretty slow tune, there is no way it would go above 214bpm

Every time I have played that song for a gig I kept a really good tempo, not like the drummer your talking about

Being a proffesional Musician (insert joke here) I pride myself in being able to hold a steady tempo behind the kit. There are just too many drummers out there that focus all on the "skillz" and how fast their single strokes are instead of focusing on the drummers job, keeping a good tempo.

I have some chops, but my forte is really to just keep the band in line.

>>Now jazz drummers... They know how to hold a tempo rock solid.>>

you guys are just soooooooooo funny
