What is hard for you to play?

Are there any things which you can't do (easy) on drums? I know it's probably hard to play ukulele and solve a chess game while playing drums, but I'm actually talking about drum-wise.

I know you are a man-of-a-1000-styles, but I guess there must be a style which you rather not play or only able to play after a good time practicing? I mean, what if one of your bands decides to do a 6½/8 song with preferable double bass, you just go sit and start doing that or are you wondering how they came up with that? :hamsters:

And speaking of ukulele, do you play other instruments other than things you can and should hit? If not, ever considered starting to learn other instruments?

There are certain genres that I don't really do well, such as progressive jazz, latin, fusion, speed metal. I remember thinking that Grapefruit Diet would be impossible to duplicate, and in the end, I did okay with it and it turned out to be easier than I thought. I remember meeting Tim Donahue from Cherry Poppin Daddies and telling him that I thought his part was hard, he assured me it wasn't, and he was right!

I don't play any melodic instruments, despite my short bout with the accordion when I was about 8. I've forgotten it all, for which the music world should be grateful!
