...no more so than a football player keeping on top of his game, or a best-selling author editing and re-editing and re-re-editing his manuscript before haulin' it to the publisher...
I would think, however, the great ones have the discipline to work on their chops and they make it part of their routine, just as they'd brush their teeth or take a shower or anything else...and if they have a passion for what they do, man, it's not an interruption between other important things, they just do it...
The truly great ones know how to balance everything...nothing gets obsessed over nor overlooked...
great question, dude!
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
