I would be quick to argue, using your two limbs is easier and more basic than using three and four. But I've only been teaching for 10 years. You might have some greater insight on this.
I don't really have many troubles with my coordination, It's mostly that I'm having trouble making everything I play sound better.
I think the main issue is that I've never been taught how to properly hit any of the drums or cymbals, and as I said, I've developed some bad habits (Tensing up when I try to double stroke, etc.).
I just don't really have much "flow" to my drumming. As you said, I'm basically "going through the motions" rather than making music.
Just really looking for things that helped people when they started drumming (any books or practice beats or anything).
I got lessons for a while, but my drum teacher was pretty shitty and had no organization or specific order of teaching things.
I'll check out those books you mentioned, thanks bud.
