What exactly are drum chops?!
Question:
What exactly are drum chops?
I hear a lot of people saying I have good chops, except I don't exactly know what chops are.
Answers:
"Chops" means technical proficiency.
Your ability to execute a solid snare roll, high hat shuffle, double bass pounding heavy metal style, etc.
You keep a rock steady beat and can handle challenging pieces of music, i.e. tricky time signatures like 12/8 and 12/4.
