response to singing or playing an instrument is, "Oh, I can't play
like that," so they won't even try.
There are some players whose real no-overdubs playing is good enough to
do that. Dave Weckl and Vinnie Colaiuta have both often made me wonder
who I think I'm kidding about playing drums. :)
Yet if they weren't available on recordings, chances are very few people
would have ever heard their no-overdub playing. They'd only have
inaccurate descriptions by others to go on.
