I think I have a good ear and can "feel" a song pretty intuitively. I rarely miss a changeup or a transition. I think I'm pretty good at playing for the song.
More importantly, I'm dependable, have reliable transportation, show up 5 to 10 minutes early, almost never forget anything, always have some extra room in my car to carry gear, know how to set up sound systems, try to have a great attitude at practices and gigs, know my way around website design and social media use, and have my own graphic design business (which means posters, CD covers, etc. for whichever band I'm in at the time). Finally, I do not have a basketload of drama in my personal life which throws the rest of the band off kilter. These traits have been more valuable to me, over the years, than anything I do behind the drums.
