Wow. is there really any argument about what "chops" means? It's always
meant technique to me and everyone I know.

The first time I encountered the term "chops" was at a summer band
camp when I was 17. One of the other snare drummers described another
of the snare drummers as having better chops than any of the rest of
us.
Maybe since 1978 things have changed, but I doubt it.
