KidCuba,
I respect someone who follows his own path, that's great that you found your passion.
I want and I am working on building solid fundamentals and technique. Why? I like the conga drums, I like the sound they make, it relaxes me, playing correctly takes work, it's a physical instrument, I like the history of it, I like the challenge, I like the different congas there are, the different skins. In short, I like it, I want to be good.
As for being well rounded in the different genres, it's not for me. I'll listen to all kinds of music, but I only love a handful. The music that moves me the most, is the music that was playing in the streets that I grew up as a kid, House! I love playing along to old school house with my drums...ahh, the good life.
