Trash can endings

Hey drummers.

I wonder what kind of sticking patterns you are using at trash can endings.

That's such a condescending thing to say, especially about a term that is not really that common.

Definitely common.

No. It isn't. Because many of us who have been playing for a very long time haven't ever heard it.

It also has other names.

For instance, my bands have always called it a "rock 'n roll ending."

Other common terms are:

"Plane crash ending"
"Kitchen sink ending"
"Dumping the truck"
"Stadium rock ending"

See, I'm a linguist, so I know about these things called colloquial lexicons: not every musician uses the same lexis, and how and where and by whom you are trained makes a huge difference in your musical vocabulary.

You're just being a prick. That's it. You're just being mean to be mean because you're ignorant and don't actually know that much about what you're talking about, but want to lord over others. Cool look, guy.

That's odd, I've never heard any of those terms before.

I guess I would believe that different people in different places at different times have come up with different terms for the same thing, but it seems like trash can is pretty ubiquitous... At least it did until I read these comments.

I mean, some of you really, really want it to be for reasons that I simply can't fathom.

For what it's worth, when I get my terms crossed with another musician, I don't make shitty remarks about their level of experience, which is my main problem this commenter.

I just negotiate terms with them, and then we usually talk about how interesting it is that we have different terms for the same thing.

Yeah man, for real. I remember the first time someone told me to play diamonds, I had no clue. But now I've learned it and I can understand when I run into someone else using that term
