      @giampaolofini1535 2 года назад +1

      Agreed. I loved standup as a teen, early 20's but once you've seen enough of it, it becomes predictable. Standup for Drummers was one of the most outside-the-box things you'll ever see in the format and Armisen is funny in everything he's in. I was expecting it to get great reviews, but the special got modest critical reviews and low audience ones. I'm guessing bc so many people just stumbled across it on netflix, but don't have no that much about the quirks of the band scene or musician issues they couldn't relate.

      There is no such thing as suspended 9th chords. 9th chords already have the third present in them so do not require a resolution as is implied by a suspended chord. A "Suspended 9th" would actually be a sus2 chord. You can also have an add9 where the 9th is added to the chord (R 3 5 b7 9). He might have meant a #9 which is a dominant 9 chord with a#9.

      Well how could anyone possibly understand that if they weren't a drummer?
      How is it even a joke?
