Yeah, agree with the above... Way over generalized opinion. Jazz is far from "easy" to play WELL, same with metal, or fusion or whatever. As a drummer, there are things on both sides of the spectrum I find extremely challenging. Just depends and the artist and the band, and frankly what suits the particular piece. Lot's of metal drummers study Jazz drumming to a degree as it gives them facilities otherwise not learned that are very useful in practical playing. I'm not a Jazz drummer, but most of my skill building work comes directly form some of the Jazz greats. I use it all the time.
Heavy Metal Anyone?
In my opinion, the best musicians are heavy metal musicians. Jazz is easy, ine note at a time, doomboombooppettiboop, but, can any of thos jazz dudes do what the heavy metal bassist do, or guitarists, or drummers? And , it's easy to test a system using jazz with simple vocal tracks, test systems with Heavy Metal. If it works with metal, it will work well in general.
Anyone agrees with me?
Note, no disrespect to jazz, classical lovers . I listen to a lot of jazz, blues, classical and especially early music.
