Music (From the Previous Post)

This was posted inside the 'Think About This' before, but I thought it's already out of topic, so I guess I separate them.




Maybe some of u, or I think a lot of people will think about taking a music major is a really stupid decision. Music cant and wont feed u whatsoever. Music is just for those that are not "talented" in school. Music is easy.
Let me get this straight, Music is NOT easy. It is not. Accounting, business, design, and stuff is easier than music.

Music is not just about writing a song and play it. no. It's about all the feel, the tones, the tempo, the emotion, the skill, and so much more. u don't just listen to some song and say : it's crap. because the song is not POP or has good and catchy tone.
u have to listen, and think all the details. how they actually do this? can u, urself do that? and why does the singer make this kinda song? stuff like that. u have to think behind the stage.

good tone is not a guarantee that it's a good song


okay for example.. drumming. maybe for some drummer out there, they still think that as long as u can do the beat well, then u're a good drummer. or maybe as long as u're fast, u know like those punk music, u're a good drummer. no no no.
I want to emphasize on the "speedster" drummer. Fast maybe can be cool for "normal" people. but if u're fast but u dont take care of the tone, ure just as well as a rookie drummer. u just hit all the toms. the snare, the crash and everything. it will just create NOISE not SOUND.
it's noisy, and we know that noisy is not a nice thing.,

okay sorry, back to topic. music is not as easy as it looks.

I had some experience when I was in ICOM, before i went there, i just play the drums without taking care of those things , the details.
but I got A LOT of experiences there, and yea it really improved my playing, and change my perception of music.
I remembered that time we were having a performance, and my lecturer told me to..: " on the verse part, don't hit the snare too hard. then when it get to the chorus part, hit it harder."
i mean, i know it doesnt really sound different anyway, coz its a very small detail that maybe they wont really notice, but yeah. it opened my eyes that actually music has SO MUCH small details that need to be taken care of.
