I am talking about those people who practiced scales, arpeggios, keys,
modes, etc... and have an understanding of music theory etc... and then
perform live in real time on an instrument utilizing that knowledge and
practice to impress a croud. To me a musician must have all of that and
most DJs don't.

hmmm... i'm suspicious of this.
this rules out a good number of the musicians i'm sure quite a few
of us would agree are some of the best out there.
you'd be surprised how far a little inspiration can go,
or maybe you wouldn't, but you should at least acknowledge it.
i would argue that to a certain extent music theory is limiting because it
turns
art into more of a science... but then i guess that's par for the course with
a lot
of idm stuff... personally, i'd rather not be able to identify the devices
being used
to convey the idea/sound. if i can sit there and do the notation in my head
(which i wouldn't be able to do, btw), i doubt i'd enjoy listening to it as
much.
one of my biggest pet peeves is when i can sit and listen to something, and
while
i'm listening i'm thinking, "i could do this."
if i can do it. and could think of it. i'd rather do it myself. or not.
maybe.
