one word to describe your playing style

Big +1 on this. I like the general direction my drumming is going, but I'm miles away from where I'd like it to be. That's what keeps me going.

But also, I'm not a big fan of the chest-thumping competitive "I'm great" attitude that exists in some - unless you're Bernard Purdie or Muhammad Ali who can pull it off with some levity.

I'd like to think I'm pretty down to earth but I still try to be optimistic, it's good to motivate yourself and having your flaws laid bare helps give a good kick up the butt.

I don't think I'm a brilliant drummer, I'd love to improve, but I need motivation to get good other then the fact I'm bad, I need to find something I do well and use it as positive reinforcement, in my case it's the fact I'm creative and can hold a beat.
