In soloing - as in other activities - it is far easier to start something than it is to finish it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Soloing was pretty easy for me because it was probably the first thing I've ever done.
I like the simplicity of soloing. You've got no gear, no partner. You never climb better than when you free-solo.
I think playing solo is a second rate activity, really. For me, playing is about playing with other people.
Learning isn't something you should only do solo.
To be clear, I normally climb with a rope and partner. Free-soloing makes up only a small percentage of my total climbing. But when I do solo, I manage the risk through careful preparation. I don't solo anything unless I'm sure I can do it.
In the absence of that, I am happy to play solo, but I don't think there is any comparison.
Even if it is difficult playing with other people - sometimes it's great, sometimes it isn't, but that is kind of the point of it. It loses its point playing solo.
If I'm going to go out to be a solo artist, it's because I want to do something different without having to wait on someone else's schedule or hobbies or be limited by other people's prejudices. I'd be kind of stupid not to exercise that.
I've been solo since 1996, so I've been doing it for a while now.
To me, drum soloing is like doing a marathon and solving equations at the same time.
