Talking playing drums here, not killing someone
You can have a great musical idea, in a great place, but if you don't nail it right, it just doesn't work. There's a million little nuances that can go wrong. Everytime I say to myself, "OK here comes that tricky part"... I'm sunk.
Once I start thinking about what I'm trying to do, instead of feeling it when I get there, it shows in my execution. Only by having the benefit of listening to recordings, can I really know what I felt, while doing it, versus what it actually sounded like. My whole point of this thread is execution is so important to the final product. How I feel something and how it comes out are sometimes way out of sync. It's the kind of thing that you want to have enough technique to play what you want easily enough, but when it comes time to use it, you shouldn't be thinking about your execution. Can anyone relate?
