This isn't supposed to be YOUR chop of life, nor is it really YouTube's Chop of Life. Hell, there is no "Chop Of Life" because chops and licks always take a backseat to groove, feel, pocket, and appropriate playing. That being said, when you're bored of your own playing, ya feel like you play the same thing over and over; adding a new chop to your playing can give new life to your playing and your enjoyment of the kit. So, this is MY 2024 Chop Of Life because I get super excited to sit down on the kit and discover new and hopefully tasteful ways to use it. That being said... the link for my metronome is below, LOL
