“Being gifted” isn't really enough. I might say I was gifted, because the start was so easy, but mainly it has been “hard work” – more like “fun work”.

But really “being gifted” in my opinion makes only the starting of drumming softer, not a hit on the face of it's difficulty ect. For example Beatles had gigged over 10 000 hours before even making it to the fame, had they lived in Hamburg and worked daily in a night club. Working/training hours = skills in every aspect of life.

I 100% agree, Jared. Unless you’re born gifted, practice is a must to achieve our drumming goals. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the dummer I want to be, and main reason is not enough practice (grrrrr). But I’ve decided not to be frustrated, but instead to know my limitations, both timewise and innate ability, and work within those parameters. Just have fun!
