Re: Reaching drummer maturity—
To me, maturity in playing means playing for the song.
That includes playing the groove, using dynamics, feeling and expressing yourself within the context of the song. Being able to recognize what fits and what doesn’t fit. Sometimes, what fits is boring...but that’s OK. As your skills improve, you gain the ability to play more complicated and interesting stuff and not make it sound out of place.
The hard part is finding guitar players that understand the concept, LOL

Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!
"I think that feeling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts." ~ John Bonham
