chop and groove are all good man...but in my opinion Groove is the bread and butter on most tunes ..chops is the rest of the condiments ..and if chop and groove are done tastefully you get the whole sandwhich...The whole song will be musical...but ya
..chop and groove all have there moments in a tune .

As a guitarist, I see how chops vs groove is an argument that gets re-litigated under different terms for basically every instrument. I mean, it's an argument that transcends music and flows through most forms of art and culture(painting, film-making, writing, you get the idea.) I guess it might say something about me that I prefer seeing drummers hold this discussion far more than I would guitarists.

This is like asking, which one would you rather be left-handed or right? Handed, there will be pros and cons to both but the biggest pro is to be ambidextrous. That’s how I feel about this conversation. Work on both. And take them is high end, or as deep as a level that is necessary for the type of Drummer that you were trying to be.

You guys as Canadians understand hockey analogy..
Being on the ice, while game is on, without the puck is the groove.. You need to be in the right place at the right time so your team can play well..
Playing with the puck and not losing it to your opponent is the chops part.. You can be flashy but the puck needs to stay with the team or end up in the back of the net..
This Analogy can, of course, be applied to any team sport...

I feel like chops are great when they feel just as good and steady as the groove. If you have the intent of everything you play to groove itself, then it will always groove. Chops can groove. Watching African praise drumming there is so much continuous flow of groove and chops underneath the whole song. Afolabi Emmanuel is a great example
