What does it take to achieve true mastery on the drums? This is something that im thinking about. I know that most people will say just practice a lot and then you will achieve mastery. But there seems to be something more to it to really achieve true mastery on the drums.
This is an important question for me personally because one of my real goals is to be able to achieve true mastery on the drums in the areas that are important to me. As is im an SO far away from that goal and am on a quest to find out how to really achieve that goal.
I know that there a many areas that one can achieve true mastery on the drums. There are guys who are master double bass players, or are master jazz players, and some who are master all around players. But how can one achieve mastery in the areas that are important to them? And not just one area, but the multiple areas that are important to them?
Its something when you see someone that is just a master in their playing. They just flow and can express themselves in such a fluid manner. I know that a lot of practice is a key to getting there, but what is that extra X factor that allows these guys to achieve that level of mastery?
At times it almost seems that there are not enough hours in a lifetime to reach the level of mastery that some of the greats have reached. But i know that that can't be true. So i continue my quest of achieving mastery on the drums.
I look forward to your thoughts.
