Temporary insanity?????? Why do (some) people eat pig intestines (chitterlings, aka chitlins' in the South)? Why do birds sing (actually, it's more like a 'tweet'....so shouldn't they be credited with 'Twitter'?).
The thing is, did Oscar GIG with a 9000 Pro? I've dated a lot of ladies that I wouldn't bring home to Momma. Lots. Besides, wasn't Oscar a consultant or contributor to Keyboard magazine at one point. Lots of famous musicians have toyed around with 'electronica'; Miles, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, are just a few that come to mind. But nobody associates them with anything other than their primary instrument. I'm sure lots of great drummers have electronic kits or even drum machines, but you won't find them gigging with them, especially the drum machine, the drummers equivalent of an arranger.
This is the second time you've used Oscar and the 9000Pro in the same post. I'd be careful......Oscar may be listening......and frowning
