And...

If it isn't changing all the time, then it is not actually happening.

In other words, from week to week, you should, as a practitioner of the craft, be in a new place. Always. Others may perceive that as odd and may try to box you in with the nifty, static past they saw the last time. That says more about them.

Be slippery...be lubed...

Another way to say this, that is not so abstract, is: If you want to be a drummer, then you have to practice daily and diligently. If you don't do that then you are...I don't know. Somebody who owns drums? And if you do put in time, then yep, every freaking week you should appear different, better, tighter, and more realized.

Duh.

It's all so Duh.

Respect.
