Sometimes, reading about drummers, you face the phrase of someone being called underrated, with no further explanation. In the same context, you'll most likely never read that a majority would regard them as not successful, or not talented - it seems to mean something different. What's that all about?
Are drummers considered underrated, if they're not being interviewed thrice a day, not mentioned weekly in every other drummer mag, or instrument ad, or not being followed by dozens of screaming fans as soon as they dare to leave their guarded homes?
In that case, Chris Cutler might be one of those who are glad being referred to as underrated. It's just that his resourceful musical works are definitely not everyone's cup of tea - as they're not supposed to, I guess.   [pbu 2015]
