Maybe we should start a new section of Congaplace called Leedy's True Facts for Leedy to post the truth about everything. No need for any replies, and Leedy, no need for you to post anywhere else, it will be your very own protected space. As long as we can read and remain curious about the realities of drumming, we can get our dose of the true facts a few times every day, quick and easy. No thinking (or questioning) required.
Asere no te pongas bravo, I am exaggerating (slightly), but please, tone down your gospel preaching attitude just a little bit.

It's not that I know it all it's the lack of respect that you people have,You do not live of the music business yet claim to know what is going on in the music business. I live off the music business do you? I depend on Jingles, Arrangement, Sales and an Occasional job what do you do? Play rumbas in someones basement or store front I do not do this type of playing that is just for enjoyment Mine is business.
Abakua does not respect the opinions of others yet he a good conga player but still has a lot to go, He is hot head and his opinions are all valid and if he does not like yours he get annoyed . Has to leave to other country's to see what is going on in the rest of the world not only Cuba in the music industry . I under stand he likes Cuban music I like some but not every one like it. and you can not shove down some ones throat.
Here in conga place the a bunch of Anglo's that comment yet the only thing they comment is rumba and who has what drum , who made it, but of really learning very few. And once they learn a bit it's like the hunter being hunted by the pray. and the few that really know how to play are just leaving because of the crap that is talked here.
Here in this forum peoples opinions should be respected and starting with mediators If they do not like your opinion so be it it, An opinion and must be respected not because he has a bit of power delete it or make derogatory comments respect starts by the house not from outsiders.
And also not many of the knowledge play have left or don't bother with people here in conga place why because of your Arrogance and disrespect..

It is often used alone, somewhat loosely, to refer to people of British Isles descent in The Americas, Australia and Southern Africa. It is also used, both in English-speaking and non-English-speaking countries, to refer to Anglophone people of other European origins.

Leedy's English is a lot better than most forum members' Spanish and he does try to communicate clearly, so cut him some slack. The central problem here is that Leedy doesn't seem to respect ANYBODY but himself and a few selected friends (sometimes), but I would point out that in the past he has been just as condescending on this forum to Latinos and people of mixed ethnic descent as he has been to non-Latino White people. He has actually been pretty even handed (with respect to ethnicity) when he doles out his disrespect for us. He also seems to correlate how a person makes a living with whether the person can play or not and doesn't seem to believe that there are people who can play, who don't make their living as professional musicians. Leedy, please prove me wrong in your future posts, not by arguing back, but by changing some of your attitudes.
