3 Most Important Things You’ve Learned?

Just curious what y’all have found to be the most important things you’ve learned that have best contributed to your progression as a player. I think mine are: 1. Keeping your middle/ring/pinky fingers on the stick to harness all the power, speed, and control 2. Understanding what it means to play various increments between behind/on/in front of the beat and how to hear and control that while playing with people 3. Less is more. Play what makes the song sound the best and know that the pocket is where you connect the music with your bandmates and the audience, which feels 1000% better than the sickest beat or fill ever will.
