English term or phrase: escape the chops stigma
There are people that think, like, "He has these chops that he doesn't use." Or some guys say, "I have chops and I can groove." Like it's just about chops and groove. So guys try to **escape the chops stigma** by saying, "I can groove too." That is really black-and-white. There is so much more than that, there's a whole color spectrum and awareness that isn't represented in that line of thinking.

Пособите с фразой. Речь идет о мастерстве игры на ударных.
Chops - это на муз. жаргоне "наработки", "приемы", "техника", "мастерство" и т.п.
Groove - это такое исполнение, которое заводит публику.
