Drummers the unsung artists

I just finished watching what was admittedly a very boring clinic given by Lewis Nash. But, I couldn't help but appreciate the quality of the clinician not just as a player but in the way he presented his knowledge. Since I'm not a drummer I found the whole thing to be over my head and terribly dull. Still I found my self engaged listening to this man explain his craft both technically and conceptually.  It made me feel like I picked the wrong instrument.  I've never scene a drum clinic that didn't encompass all aspects of playing.  Explaining the mental and physical mechanics of playing as well as the more spiritual or philosophical challenges of making drumming musical.  It always impresses me how eloquently these players can discuss their instrument.
