   They're neither serious nor mature, barely posers and not even very good at   
   that either.

   They'll make something, but just like themselves, it won't be very serious.

   I've never heard the ones that actually sound like an instrument...even the   
   tick-tock of a wind-up metronome would be an improvement.

   Maybe they just don't like how they sound either.   
      
   > old drummers eventually die.  sad, but that's how it is.   
      
   What's that got to do with it?

   There's a big difference between learning, and learning to like annoying   
   sounds, like unnatural sounding click tracks.   
      
   I've got annoying click tracks on my multitrack recorder, and have used them   
   many times...and I end up either turning the click level way down, and then   
   don't pay enough attention to them, or turning it way up, and not pay enough   
   attention to the Music...all because they sound so absolutely terrible,   
   unnatural, and thoroughly inappropriate in the songs.   
      
   They're Lifeless, Boring, Irritating, and Annoying - at least if it was some   
   kind of drum line, that would be such a Major improvement....hell, they   
   might as well be radar or sonar blips...because those don't belong in Music   
   either...because their Lifelessness  Detract from the Vibe!!!   
      
   > so you apparently know some of the same people I do :-)   
      
   In a very painfully real sense, yes, most definitely...more like the same   
   *kind* of people i.e. Obnoxious, Immature, Lazy, Irresponsible, Not serious,   
   Idiots, Posers and Losers, with Major ego problems to boot!   
      
   > I like my computer.  It's a better musician than some I work with.  Not

   Substituting computers for Idiots because even they, are more reliable -   
   what a TRAGEDY!!!

   Can't re-do it at a Live show...unless it's not all that 'live' to begin   
   with, then there no need to!   
      
   What a SICK concept!
