Drum solo 2012 "flow"

This is probably my favorite state of mind. Improvising on drums with the freedom to go anywhere your imagination and technique can take you is one way to get into "flow". Might even stumble into something new in the process. But in order to accomplish that, you need to take some risks, so you can't be too afraid of making mistakes! Reading the Wikipedia article about this state of mind made me understand better why I'm so obsessed with drumming. :)

"According to Csikszentmihalyi, flow is completely focused motivation. It is a single-minded immersion and represents perhaps the ultimate in harnessing the emotions in the service of performing and learning. In flow, the emotions are not just contained and channeled, but positive, energized, and aligned with the task at hand."

It makes me even happier that apparently I'm not the only one who enjoys these, so many thanks to subscribers, commenters, likers and viewers! Constructive criticism is also very welcome, of course.
