Ah, that makes sense!

I was impressed by how easily the older woman did that—since she probably doesn’t play every day like the younger guys. But, like others have said, it’s muscle memory kicking in!

She definitely used to play all the time. That grip and cadence aren't something you just do out of the blue one day. Granny is a former pro drummer for sure.

Not "former": Current. Avtive. Creative. Talented

and aside from a bit of fade on the left hand at times, she didn't try for the visuals the youngers were into. just following her own jam. love it.

Yes, that's what I meant--her muscle memory from her playing days kicked in and it was impressive!

I agree. That's years of playing. I'm taking drum lessons and hope to be at her level one day. You build upon each learned beat.

Yeah, granny’s got real skills and part of that is the give and take of when to step in and when to lay back. It’s an easy skill to pick up but it is 100% a sign that somebody knows what they’re doing.

Oh she plays all the time... she's in a few bands in GA and is amazing!

When you're grooving to a song you've never heard, do you "feel" when a crescendo is coming? it's the same thing.
