I think I have an ear for most things musically, I think I understand melody and harmony, and I have a good sense of rhythm. The one thing I can not hear for the life of me is drums. I seriously can’t really hear a difference between one set of drums vs another, but whenever I show a piece of music all anyone says is “the drums are wrong.” The other thing is I really don’t care enough to become attuned to drums, at least not yet. My question is, what is THE drum sound right now? The one that, if I put it in my music, no matter what genre, it will work? And if there is none, what is the most versatile one? Don’t ask me what I’m making, it’s none of your business.

Those little white lines that go across your half of the road? Those are called stop lines. When you see one, you must stop before the line and allow all other cars and pedestrians to cross before continuing. Typically driving instructors recommend waiting for three seconds. Those big striped rectangles in the middle of the road? Those are called crosswalks. When you see one, you must stop and let all pedestrians walk across. I’ve made a little mnemonic to help you remember: “When you see a stop line, stop at the line. When you see a cross walk, let them walk across!”
