In a tight band the bassist and drummer are really one creature with
four arms and legs. Try putting the drummer in a drum room and the
bassist in the control room so the glass is between them, and hear it
all go to crap.
Or literaly one creature with two arms and two legs, playing bass, drums, piano and guitar at the same time, see http://rochus-keller.ch/?p=1153
So, if you're asking why we're discussing one-man-bands in a "thread about visual coordination between musicians," that question falls to you, since you were the one who started the sidetracked conversation, which turned out to be a self-aggrandizing advertisement. Yet, now you're gaslighting and trying to make it sound like I did something wrong when, in fact, you were the one who both sidetracked the thread and then confrontationally declared a musician wasn't a real musician, thereby turning it into a "values debate" -- despite obviously meeting all of your requirements for "real" musicianship, since you're both quite literally using identical methods and technologies.
The video visibly shows him playing all of the instruments and not using a sequencer, which betrays that you still haven't actually watched the video.
I completely got the point, which is why my original comment was extremely relevant to the conversation of a one-man operation -- a conversation that you acknowledge starting. You then, however, claimed that it doesn't make sense for me to post a video about a one-man drummer-bassist in a conversation about a one-man drummer-bassist, in a bizarre attempt to make it seem like I somehow antagonized you. What you're doing is called gaslighting, in its purest and most disturbing form.
> I don't see any connection between your video and the ones I posted.
The methods used by both drummers in both videos are literally identical in every conceivable way. They are using the same technology. It's a MIDI controller going into a computer which triggers samples, which is also the exact same method you are using and describing in your original comment and blog post. They are identical. And even knowing that, you are still shamefully attempting to publicly disparage another musician and claim they are lesser than you -- even going so far as to claim they are a "DJ" despite performing in the exact same way that you are. It's beyond outrageous.
Probably a separate skill set, I'm sure a good studio musician knows how to do great with headphones on their head. I'm a bass player myself but rarely do any recording so I'm crap at it but I'm sure I could learn.
Mostly just the drummers, but other musicians too.
