The Phrase I'm Not Allowed to Say - Subscribers Only

Nate Smith March 14, 2019

I never imagined I'd be important enough to get a cease-and-desist letter.

But there it was, in my inbox, in early 2016.

And, it turned out, I wasn't the only one.

The subject of today's video is a channel whose name I don't dare say publicly.

(You're welcome to infer;)

After the initial sting of having to change the name of my video wore off in 2016, I mostly put the issue to bed.

As I explain in the video, I moved on.

But the issue is back.

So, I thought I'd make a video that summarizes all of my thoughts and experiences with it.

(I can only speak for myself.)

Long-story-short, I, like many Drum Fans, fell in love with the content of a certain YouTube channel, and was using their name willy-nilly, to describe any playing that fit the style.

Until they asked me to stop.

Now, some 3 years later, a brand new lesson on subject from Rob Brown prompted me to ask, "do we still even need that phrase?"

See if you agree.
