I practice with my band twice a week and then once a week on my own to work out any sections that I feel weak on.
I'm not the greatest drummer and am at intermediate level or so I would say, and feel that a good drummer wouldn't need to spend one night soloing to practice sections, that they would just be able to roll it out during band practice and after practicing the song 5 times each practice, get it down. That's about playing the song 10 times a week with the band. And I think the song should be down by then, no?
Am I being hard on myself or is this realistic to expect from what I believe to be a 'solid, good drummer?' I realize everyone has their own style and pace, but I am getting frustrated that I can't just lay down fills or make everything clean perfectly after playing the song several times.
