When I was a young kid I took up drum lessons and immediately became very good at it. On the exams I always had 90% or higher, other kids really looked up to me and I didn't really understand the big deal. Didn't practise much at all, was never nervous, didn't see my achievements as anything special.
When taking lessons in a music school I also had to follow separate classes of music theory which I hated, so I wanted to quit. But my teacher desperately wanted me to continue and allowed me to follow his classes "unofficially". Then I started playing in bands and the other members were always really impressed. Again I didn't understand why.
I'm at best mediocre at everything else I do: other musical instruments, being a developer, these kind of logical reasoning intelligence & maths tests.
Don't really excel at anything at all but I always felt that playing drums was some kind of built in talent I had, so I believe there's a kind of person that's born with a real talent for rhythm.
