No more bad talk! Make a list of everything you are good at when it comes to playing the drums. Oh, and no self-depreciation disguised as a compliment (e.g. "I'm really good at hanging my head in shame as I walk off the stage," "I'm really good at dropping my sticks the the most important parts of songs," etc). This thread will not hear of it!
So, make a list of all of your strengths as a drummer! Also, I thought this might be a good resource for others too. So if you see someone that's good at something that you wish to improve upon, feel free to ask!
Ok, so here we go. I'll start.
Things I'm good at:
Your turn!

Things I'm good at:
- Playing with a click track
- Recovering after I mess up
- When playing 6/8 time, I'm really good at ghost notes on the snare drum.
- My 20+ years of experience really shine when I play simple stuff. Although I'm not flashy, I've got a nice touch when playing drums.
- I'm good at dynamics, and because I play other instruments as well, I'm good at listening while I'm playing. Playing a wide variety of music has taught me how to play dynamics well.
- I have ALWAYS gotten along with the most difficult musicians, and I've never been asked to leave a band or group.
- In the studio, I'm very much so a "Johnny-One-Take."
- I'm pretty good at tuning drums now. It took a good 15 years to be able to.
Your turn!
