I've played drums "off and on" my entire life; but I keep getting stumped by 'fluency'. Any tips for motivation or fun lessons?

I suspect that's the truth about many things. We love a Hollywood narrative, but a lot of the time having some aptitude and then becoming obsessed is the way.

Indeed! Obsession is really the best description of it. Sarah Bareilles is an absolutely fantastic vocalist and pianist. Ive heard her talk about how she was the kid who never went outside to play with anyone because she was locking herself in her room playing and singing. Ya just gotta do the damn thing and do it a whole lot lol
