I enjoy long chats myself. Strictly as an example, I wonder if it would have been better in the long run to have the brush information in a regular thread where more could have benefited. I know many drummers research the old threads on the Drummer Cafe and the information exchanged in a chat is not available to them.
Nah. This brush talk was just a bunch of aimless discussion on my part, and anyway, such threads back then were met with "buy this book" or "buy that DVD", as if the playing of a technique is a right only transferable upon the purchasing of media.
As I recall, this talking about brushes occurred during one of the rare times when we (about five or six regulars on a good day, IIRC)
talked shop. It usually acted as a real-time extension of the Miscellaneous forum, sometimes even upon topics that are not permitted on the forum. I like to think it did best that way, additionally.
