More so than creativity is the fact that you have to have a full vocabulary. (Personally I can admit that mine is under developed in fluency)..
KNowledge is power. Max Roach has done many performance with either just a snare drum (while accompanying vocalists and a singer) or just hi-hats. You kinda struck on it... the fact of KNOWING the BASICS (FUNDAMENTALS). We need to be able to play no matter what. That Thomas Lang clip was another great example. However this one will catch everyone because most don't see Tank as a technical drummer but compared to most folks, HE IS. This guys learned the same stuff that Chris Dave and Eric Harland did . Now look where they all are and look how they use theinstrument to communicate. It's a beautifu thing to see/hear folk whom know what they are doing. Dominion... Mastery.
