You Can't Teach This, You Just Cann't

One of the times i had a huge epiphany was when i went to new york to take lessons with a very famous drummer. He sat down and he told each one of us to play a rudimental solo, one after the other. And then you can guess what happens next. You either get funk or you don't. It's really that simple. People who naturally understand it just grow up in that culture where it exists.
