If I were out to make excusesa in the first place Mike, I would not rely on my hands.

I don't understand that statement at all, and what would you rely on if you were?

Anyhow like I mentioned if your doing it for yourself for fun, then what I explained is completely irrelevant.
Many and most people here and elsewhere when they like to do something a lot,like to improve. I am CONSTANTLY that way.

This reminds of something like:

Someone saying "I like to play guitar. I play guitar at home a lot alone by myself. I spend a good amount of time doing it, and I bought a nice guitar.
Now please DON"T show me that cool thing you just played!"

Even if they don't ever really further themselves with it, they usually want too in there hearts or back of there minds.
They say it, and usually often mean it.

They don't want there strings too mute & buzz when they play chords and may or may not work on that. But they don't discuss it like it's an option and part of there form of art or expression. That's an excuse or lack of really caring about what they are doing. In plain words "I'm just not that into it to sit down and practice something that takes practice and I do not do completely naturally" But even that is understandable too me

Technically proficient? Well I am untaught and untrained and unschooled in every single aspect of music. From the neck all the way to the wires behind my console.
I'm very un-technical. But nobody so far who was ever told me I needed to be.

There's only one way to be proficient and that is by being proficient best you can in whatever you do. If you play the drums in any manner what so ever and don't have timing you are an in-proficient drummer -or- just a person trying to play drums.

And that is completely fine by me, as long as your not my drummer!

What I do find your method very useful for is when I want to throw down an idea very quickly and bring it to the band etc..

That's all I'm done here Hopefully lol
