You have to practice and develop some techniques to express yourself. Practising your skill always has to go side by side with the development of your imagination.

This is indeed true, Even before I started drumming, I would always sit close to the drums and watched in awe as they played. My imaginations began to fly and I was already creating Wonderful beats in my mind. Although I had'nt even played the drums yet, I was already a pro in my heart.
When I finally started playing the drums I couldn't fully Express all my imaginations on the drums, it took time and practice before I was able to master the skills and techniques and before I could express and translate my imaginations on the drum set.

Indeed Whatever we play is howfar we can imagine.
