Inspiration and learning are BIG benefits. I'm mostly a harp and blues guitar player. But once in a while if my wife has a small money gig I sit in on percussion which includes a snare Cajon and a high hat! (-:

I played drums MANY years ago...as a third instrument but have benefitted GREATLY by punching up the BIAB style demos...listening and then soloing the drums so I can directy copy the patterns.

I am blessed with excellent time and by digging into the patterns...looping them and not having to "listen through" actual recordings or Youtubes to hear the nuances of what is being played on the drums... I'm now "getting away with it" on paying gigs!!(-:
