No, I'm a drummer like you.

So, basically, some people tend to prefer the Oxford Dictionary's definition:

a person who plays a musical instrument, especially as a profession, or is musically talented.

...others (myself included) prefer a more liberal definition, such as the Merriam-Webster definition:

a composer, conductor, or performer of music; especially : instrumentalist

Which leaves the two real questions:

1) what is music?
2) what is talent?

Argue on!

No you are not:

neverenoughfunk wrote:your lack of musicianship

As regards your literacy:

1. You don't consult a dictionary for definitions - you make your own up
2. When you write you ignore the standard format of sentences and join everything with ellipses
3. Questioning the state of something is not the same as making a statment to the effect that something is not present

Much to learn I think.

you thought the same as the magic 8-ball? wow.

question... and be honest... is it really my basic literacy or your lack of musicianship... the reason behind not showing you music?

are you seriously proposing that someone might pass off something as their opinion when its really just a thinly-veiled attempt to marginalise others on the basis of an utterly arbitrary distinction?

oh, the huge manatee.

If you're looking for music to criticize, go here KVR Music cafe

Not all of us have links to our music in our signatures, but the music cafe is where people who are looking for critiques post music.

While I can tell that effort has gone into making the music you posted, it does not make you an authority regarding who is or isn't a musician.

Oog. Righty, then.

P.S.: I'm glad the OP stopped back in and was able to get plenty of food for thought from the thread.

What would be your definition of a musician?
