Derek Roddy - 'The Music industry' drum interview

[@ilrosso666]

This is one of the most incredible life lesson from a very wise man. We have to thank the drumbrother for having this on youtube.Go Ahead guys you're doing a great job!

[@StupidShitVideo]

That was surprisingly philosophical for a conversation about drumming. I wasn't expecting that but it's good to hear that he's down-to-earth and I agree with him.

[@markanthonydubur3211]

I love how he seamlessly incorporated the evolutionary progression of music. Brilliant.

[@SOGNAMETAL]

I've been following his career since 2000, 12 years after he is the same guy, but more wise, and more drum's technician, the best blaster in the world. I met him at NAMM 2009 and all what he said was: "Don't thank me for what you are now, but thank the guys who invented the rythms, that make us drummers feeling alive for every beat we produce or we hear"

[@VictorNickel]

Beautiful ! Thank you, Mr. Roddy!

[@DrumHouseProject]

:) he has so much to teach both in drums and life! J.

[@Leo-yn5fx]

He's given both sides of the spectrum in his belief so there's nothing to conflict with his opinion. He's being open minded about if you can make a living out of music that's fine, but he rather it be from his own preference of how music should be as a whole.

[@DrumHouseProject]

@mrlurp Enjoyment is everything! :)

[@ohpatriot3781]

Roddy I like your thinking \m/ Hailz

[@MichaelVLang]

He is absolutely right. When you are in your 40s, music looks a lot different than when you were young. However, if you want to move around and take your music live to another location, you will need to figure out how to pay people to assist you. There is no way around that. That's life.

[@DrumHouseProject]

Yeah,in a way musicians should be able to support themselves in life with music,i agree with you,but what Derek wanted to say is that music has become completely a business nowadays and we should go back to when music was an art... J.

[@MattWeismiller1994]

Who's the guy on the left? James Payne from Hour of Penance

[@DrumHouseProject]

People buy for trend too,and the trend most of the time is what gets more pushed around the web and tv,but it still art,not saying it isn't! J.

[@DrumHouseProject]

@iDrUmMeR4LiFe69 YEAH! :)

[@CDSDrumsMN]

Regardless if you think that the music is garbage and made for salable profits more than being an art, people enjoy it as an art, thats why it sells. people buy it because they enjoy it! how is that wrong? how is it not art? even if its bad! theres terrible paintings people buy

[@ObscureMachines]

What do you do when music is all you do? :/

[@joseperez8695]

go to work slacker .... music is not a job

[@tomjones9656]

LOL Obviously your brain is small

[@Leo-yn5fx]

+Obscure Machines Unless its rap or any other mainstream genre people these days can have easy access to, metal in general is a no go. Invest yourself first by getting a good job and making something out of yourself.

[@CDSDrumsMN]

Personally i think that bands that fully commit and only try to play music for the people shouldnt be frowned upon for selling it. I think people pay for the healing tool just like they do for a psychiatrist or pills or any other types of healing tools or service. And if youre willing to commit 100% to serving people with your music, you deserve to make money doing it.

[@DrumHouseProject]

Yeah,but it goes all around the money and what is more salable rather then what's more artistically good nowadays in my opinion... J.

[@danielroik7574]

yep money is to blame

[@chiefindisguise]

Hippie talk

[@danielroik7574]

And what's even worse now, is people download music, because its free, and drum solos as well, in to there ipod and they come up to me, and say Daniel you want to listern to my awesome 100,00 songs, or crap, like therefor music is dieing because of this, even bands carn't make a profit anymore, and people tell me I don't need to by cds anymore, because I have my awesome ipod, see that is crap I don't, I still by cds And am never goner stop unless they stop making them, Ipod are Crap.
