Jimisback Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I was watching Top Gear the other night. Jeremy made a good point about sports cars. Todays are not the same at all. Sure they may be faster, they may be cleaner. They may look like a Toyota. But they are not the same experience. The USA has a few. Corvette is one. Not a sports car in my opinion. It is a luxuary car that is shaped like one. A real sports car you can feel the road, no power steering or brakes. You are part of the car. It is a TOTAL different thing. Unless you drive it you can't know. The engine sound, The feel of the seat and wheels grabbing the road. Shifting gears with the clutch. Man it is sweet. But today things have changed. Like Drum Corps. I am just thinking....I think it runs parallel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrinkinOuttaCups Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 You lost me at Todays. Also, Drum Corps. I don't know what drumbs are. I guess they're like cars? Dumb drums, perhaps? Sounds like it could be a shorthand for dumb drummers...then again, that's kind of an oxymoron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bawker Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I think the gist of the post is that he feels drum corps back in the day was a more raw or visceral kind of thing than it is now, where the shows now have more polish and overall excellence; hence the "luxury car" v. "sports car" comparison. . . .I could be wrong, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a fun subject, if I understood it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Smith Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 If you mean what Bawker interpreted, then my opinion is, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
