I love the band that came into the studio to do a CD, and the drummer is just not quite ready for prime time. He tells me, "I try to practice every day." I ask him how long he practices, and he says, "5 minutes or so." He was serious. I told him it takes me at least a half hour just to warm up. I don't think he ever warmed up during the session, though. |
10,000 hours is the thing.
BTW, the drummer I occasionally play with has his own coach - like an olympic athlete. He's extremely serious about it and as a consequence, he's extremely good and constantly in demand.
