Right. I took to drumming very easily. Like you said about your sister, not having rhythm is something I don't understand. I think of that as a head start, but it doesn't disprove 10,000 hours. I do still need all the hours to reach my potential. Someone else without that head start but who practices a lot will catch up to me if I don't practice.
Even if I do practice the same amount as them, I expect the difference between me and someone without the head start would go down significantly over time.
So innate talent is a real thing but it's consistent with 10,000 hours.
- mbrock 11y agoI recently started drumming in a hobby band and I seem to have a knack for it. I'm curious to hear how you've progressed and what kind of practice you do. I'm just winging it and it's alright.
- gdulli 11y agoDrumming wasn't important to me, it was just a fun novelty for a short time. I knew what it would cost (both time and money) to bridge the gap from talent to real expertise and it wasn't personally worth it to me.
