We'll read it, I guess. We probably won't read it. It'll just sit under our door. Now, this is a question. You can leave us a voice question, but this is a question that was typed out. typed. On a keyboard. On a Smith Corona. So this is from a user Matt. Matt says Peter and Adam. Do you know what a Smith Corona is? Never heard of it. Eli is our audio engineer. Eli is under the age of 40. Well, under the age of 40. Eli's under the age of 20. He is. No idea. Okay. So Matt writes, Peter and Adam, great podcast. Thank you, Matt. Thanks for your diligence and spreading knowledge.

I'm a drummer that's moving toward improving my vibraphone playing. It's very commendable.

This has been a liberating challenge. I've only had one vibes gig so far. It was tremendously

fun and terrifying. During the gig, I naturally observed the drummer's playing. He was a total

This is an easy one. I like drummers that buy rounds of drinks and food after the gear. I knew that was going. I hate drummers that don't do that.

I knew that was going.

Yeah.

Wow.

Well, that's a great question.

This is Matt?

Matt, great question.

You know, for me, it's hard to separate what I think is great attributes of a drummer without thinking of

specific drummers that I love to play with.

So it's sort of based around that.

But I don't know that it's that different than any other musician.

I think it's the same with every other instrumentalist.

But maybe, I guess he's asking something, maybe we should unpack this and see if there is anything specific to drummers.

Well, there are some things I think that are kind of exaggerated with the drums.

Yeah.

That are more noticeable than say with like a trombonist, right?

Which are the two things that come to mind are dynamics.
