    Not a musician, so honest question. Is her music actually bad from a theory perspective? I mean its unlikely to be ground breaking. But for pop, my assumption would be that it’s more towards the upper end.

      Imagine this being bored to your tits:

      Imagine being even more bored by pop music… ;-)

      It’s just always the same. Doesn’t matter if it’s Taylor or any other pop musician ever since the early 90s.

      Damn, now I feel old - and I’m only 38. ^^

      I just have fun on the drums playing and teaching when it comes up to speed and different tempos. I love playing challenging stuff - for example Sam & Dave. I do love playing kicks that are not going well initially with crashes. It’s just me, being jaded.

      But apparently all my students dig my classes, so I can’t really complain.

        I know next to nothing about what actually make good music but man the moment I had access to music outside of the local radio stations I was blown away by how good music could actually be.

        especially drums, idk if I could ever learn how to play them but it’s easily my favorite part to listen to when they’re done well

          May I introduce you to Drumeo? :D Rock on! I know some of the people from the channel on a personal level and some of the “listen to the first time” teachers actually taught me the ropes when I started out playing (I used to be coder / keyboarder before getting into playing drums).

      I found some of the synth stuff going on in the background was pretty cool when my ex was listening to it. And as much as people love to hate her, she does have some catchy shit.
