Every musician starts somewhere, and sometimes the best place to learn is by playing some songs. While in the long run this may affect your ability to create an identity, at first learning songs is harmless and actually quite helpful.

The goal of most musicians is simple; self-expression. The arts give us a freedom that is unparalleled by anything else. The only problem is, many musicians struggle to find their niche when trying to express their feelings through notes.

If you really want to take your drum playing to a higher level, then you may consider playing half time groove beats. This is a technique that can change the entire feel of a groove or song.
