I grew up around musicians; my father plays guitar and piano, and my two brothers both play instruments. I took classical guitar ensemble in high school for 4 years and have been playing drums for 25 years. I treat drumming like a martial art. The discipline and diligence towards the mental aspects like understanding notation, metronome work, phrasing, and improvisation can provide the scaffolding for the physical aspects of stick control, technique, economy of motion, and the burgeoning command of your limbs that comes with a balanced approach of intellectual and somatic understanding.
