    The document discusses the 80/20 principle in the context of drumming skills. It questions whether drum practice inputs truly follow a power law distribution, where 20% of activities generate 80% of results, allowing for mastery in weeks. Alternatively, inputs could follow a normal distribution, providing more modest gains. While the 80/20 rule may not perfectly apply to drumming, focusing on core activities could still provide large advantages over years of practice. In conclusion, the principle is misleading if taken to mean mastery in weeks, but useful for shortening a drummer's long-term learning timeline.

    IS THE 8020 PRINCIPLE REAL FOR DRUMS?

    TIM’S ORIGINAL VIDEO

    PARETO PARETO - INVENTOR OF 8020


    SOURCES WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE ON PARETO
    ARTICLE ON THE PARETO PRINCIPLE
    POWER LAW/PARETO DISTRIBUTIONS

    THE ASSMPTION WE’RE TESTING


    THE -80% OF RESULTS IN DRUMMING COME FROM 20% OF INPUTS

    PREMISE -BY FOCUSSING ON THE “CRUCIAL” 20%, YOU CAN MASTER DRUMS IN
    WEEKS INSTEAD OF YEARS*

    *TIM FERRIS DID NOT MAKE THIS CLAIM

    NATE’S INCONVENIENT QUESTIONS


    CAVEATS -DO DRUM PRACTICE INPUTS REALLY FOLLOW A POWER LAW?
    -OR ARE THEY MORE LIKE A NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
    -DO A SMALL NUMBER OF EXERCISES ACCOUNT FOR ALMOST ALL
    RESULTS? OR ARE SOME EXERCISES A LITTLE BETTER THAN
    OTHERS?

    WHY DRUMS MIGHT NOT BE POWER-LAWED


    EFFICIENT - EFFICIENT FRONTIERS - ARTICLE
    FRONTIERS - NASH EQUILIBRIA - ARTICLE
    - DICK FOSBURY - VIDEO
    -NATE’S HYPOTHESIS - DRUMS ARE CLOSE TO THE EFFICIENT
    FRONTIER, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER LEVELS.

    WHY YOU CAN STILL USE A BELL CURVE


    SLOW -NATE’S HYPOTHESIS - “REPS” ARE A “HARD SPEED LIMIT” TO

    8020 PHYSICAL LEARNING


    -BUT REPS VARY IN RELEVENCY
    -EVEN IF SOME EXERCISES ARE ONLY LINEARLY MORE RELEVANT,
    ADVANTAGES ARE HUGE OVER THE COURSE OR YEARS

    IS IT BULLSHIT?
    THE -YES, IF WE MEAN AN AVERAGE DRUMMER BECOMING GREAT IN ONE
    VERDICT WEEK
    -NO, IF WE MEAN SAVING YOURSELF YEARS OVER A 10-YEAR
    TIMELINE
    -NO, IN TIM’S CASE, BECAUSE WAS A COMPLETE BEGINNER
