| I also agree that you need to be able to play whatever style is required. I think you have to in order to be a well rounded musician. I also like the idea of learning percussion/drums. I have been playing drums regularly for a little under a year and a half. I started off playing in a contemporary church worship band doing straight ahead rock. Lately, I have been working to fill in some of the gaps that I have as a drummer by working on different feels and grooves from swing, to rock to shuffles.
What a bummer that would be if you were in a band and someone wanted to do a particular tune in X style, only to be told by one or more members that they don't play that style.
