Hi Tommat,
I think really; keep it simple (for now)!!!
The moment you over-
-analyse, the feel is gone, try to do simple things well.
One of the best examples of simple and very, very effective drumming is done by Don Henley (from The Eagles) on their "Hell Freezes Over" release. There is a wonderful DVD of that which shows all of that effectiveness with beautiful simplicity.
Also have a listen to Steve Gadd on Paul Simon's "There Must Be 50 Ways To Leave A Lover" track!!
Cheers and Happy Drumming
Harry
