So, in an interview for a GAYYYY magazine, I was asked 'who is your favorite drummer?'. . .
I said Sara Lund from UNWOUND.
ummmmm, she's the one that got me to wanna drum. i never heard drums so clean, punchy and dynamic before i heard her.
i had to play the drums after listening to Fake Train a billion times.
since then, i've experienced other drummers way more talented, but still not as inspiring.
my question is. . .
does the moment of inspiration beat all other moments on your artistic voyage? can something that only brings you to a higher level of understanding the medium amount to or destroy the moment that you realized you wanted to create (emulate) that art?

For me that initial "Aha!" moment of realization is often the highlight and it's downhill from there. Career-wise it has worked for me, meandering around discovering new stuff and moving on when I ultimately get bored. There have been some exceptions ... for some reason, my relationships have tended to grow stronger over time. But I think that's the same notion ... it can be an ongoing discovery with certain people (and there's a lot a truth to the notion that "familiarity breeds contempt!") :P
