Wow.... I could help but laughed at this part:

This drummer played with such lack of skill but he was so determined to make some money that I admired him and disliked him at the same time.

That is the real spirit of a husler. Though untalented but unrelenting. Though unskilled but he still has mouths to feed.
Thank you for this @tojukaka.....it's funny but still educating at the plight of people. Life Is Hard
