In sports, it might be a little easier because you're on a team, and you have to be at practice and play all the games, while musicians often don't have anyone telling them to do anything. Self-motivation is more important.

I don't think there's very many people who could sit down in an afternoon and just figure out a working, great-sounding drum track for music this challenging. But he did it! This guy inspired me for many years, and I even started to learn the drums by buying his instructional DVD many years ago! If you want to learn drums, go find it because it's a phenomenal foundation if in-person lessons aren't really an option. Today, my wife and I own a music school, and I owe it to Mike for helping me find my way as a musician/screwed up high school kid back in the day.

It just speaks volumes to how damn good Danny is that Mike REALLY struggled to get any kind of hold on this song in the 3ish hours he worked on it. He couldn't pick any time signatures until he saw the sheet music and even then it took him awhile to wrap his head around it. Learning the actual drum parts was just out of the question for a single video unless he took it away for a couple weeks to really dig into (which I would LOVE to see, to be honest).
