Or you could make inane comments on a forum, while pretending to be above the fray.

If this is passion then I summise that you don't need passion in music.
Despite, or maybe because of the elevated noise floor, there's more hard musical knowledge in this thread than in most of the rest of the place put together.

Why do you bother?

That quite simply is not true and you know it. You're forgetting that we've had the same discussions over and over and over. Theory has been discussed to death all throughout the forum, there is almost definitely more musical knowledge outside of this thread in other threads than this singular one.

Why do I bother? Bored.

No, its called wasting time..

that depends on what you make of it...if it's wasting time for you, move along

Others might want to understand the points a little clearer and may not consider it wasting time...

Strange. I thought you'd grown up a bit recently.

Well, the argument is ok.

But the belittling, name calling and rudeness do get sort of tiresome.

I mean, can't you tell someone they are wrong without calling them an idiot?

can we get back to the triplets v swing argument, least that one had a point...

I posted.

Well, here we go anyway:

@killvehicle: Indeed. The straight 8ths, while cool sounding, don't prove anything other than that you can achieve cool results by playing triplets in one rhythms and 8th in another (and that's a very common polyrhythmic technique).

@Hink: it all started as "swing is triplets without the middle note", I've since shortened it to "triplets" since it's understood (among the arguing parties) what I mean... but yes, you're correct.

Well I could go the funny route or get serious...

Funny: I bother because I am bored.

Serious: The swing vs triplet itself is a disruption of the original purpose of this thread. A discussion started to revolve around a new topic of trilpets.

So it's not that wacky to maybe start a dicussion revolving around the topic I posed - which could interpret loosely as "does discussing music actually help it?"

It could be said that a lot more comes from doing. I wouldn't agree with that 100% though. I tend to think a lot more comes from doing and then discussing, as opposed to the other way round.

But hey... I gave everyone the funny option.

Help on understanding time signatures.
