Great Topic John,

I'm a pretty accomplished drummer, it is my primary instrument, when I went to keyboards (another percussion instrument), I sort of played the keys as a drummer. I would use notes, chords, solos, in different timing sequences than a typical key player, especially for a new player. I have had to tone that down a bit and try not be so syncopative (if that's a word). Needless to say, knowing keys has helped my drumming tremendously and visa-versa.
