| Joe's right. The number of repetitions performed to achieve subconcsious muslce memory of a technique is going to vary according to individual learning abilities. I don't have any data to back up my statement, but I do have plenty of personal experience and observational experience. I have a friend who started practicing drums at the same time as me (seven years ago), and he still has trouble holding down a steady beat for AC/DC songs (Which are the easiest rock songs in the world to play). He used to practice every other day. I, on the other hand, practiced every day for the first three years that I was learning, and I was playing beats for various genres of music with a live band within two years of beginning.
