Here's a thought... Is there perhaps a drummer gene?
I got to thinking that we all know some people are more able to hold a beat, and and that their (our) timing and ability to keep to a grove is perhaps more enhanced than in many others. I suppose what I'm saying is that it might be down to our individual nature and we may be genetically predisposed to become drummers; something I'm going to call 'the drummer gene'.
Would you agree that's possible, or do you think it's all training and practice?
Are we born with it? An ability to recognise or produce rhythms?
The old nature vs nurture debate... Your thoughts?
