The most sought-after drummer in Sonoma County, California, is a friend of mine. He is in demand not only because his playing is flashy and energetic but because it is also rock steady. Once I asked him what he practices at home to maintain his excellence. He demonstrated by sitting at his drum set and, with his right foot, playing the pedal (which causes the bass drum to be struck by a large felt mallet) about one beat per second, steady as a metronome, true as time. His eyes fell inward as if in a trance. I had expected exotic percussive fireworks, but there were none. Then I realized that none were needed. ...
He stopped. “That's it?” I asked.
He grinned. “I'll learn it someday.”
W. A. Mathieu, The Listening Book, p. 53
There is a relationship between mastery and simplicity. The greater the mastery one has in a subject, the more absorbed one can become in its most fundamental concepts and behaviours. Conversely, a beginner usually needs to skim the surface before being drawn in. A child is much more interested in learning “Greensleeves” or current pop music rather than learning to sing in unison with a string, or recognizing the overtones series. ... But as you develop, you begin to hunger for what is beneath the surface, for the practices and concepts that deepen and widen your range of perception. Gradually, your capacity for elementary practice increases, and you find yourself moving slowly and listening deeply just for the pleasure of it. ... Keep coming back to the simple things. It may come to pass that what was once only mildly interesting and marginally relevant has become a touchstone for your musical life.
