I think that the fact we all can use our arrangers as we choose is the key element. I envy people who can play solo or use styles as seamlessly as having a live drummer. I use more SMFs than styles. I do a decent job with styles but I'm no virtuoso. My strength is in my vocals and personal styling. I don't play like Ian, Fran, Donny, Scott or anyone else, but I enjoy it and feel I do a better than average job. :):):)
