to me drums seem hardest because it's so hard to imagine the song you're drumming without the rest of the music. Also hard to keep in time for extended periods. As a guitarist, I rely on the drummer.
i can beat the tar out of a conga... i can even stay in time for a little while by myself doing that basic bass snare, bass cymbal thing that you learn first.... but then i get tripped up, or lose the tempo. I suppose it's a matter of teaching your muscles. When I do a G Chord, I just think "G" and my left hand does it. I don't think "middle finger to the 6th string 3rd fret, first finger to the 5th string 2nd fret, pinky to the 1st string 3rd fret."
you can probably just think 4-4 or whatever you call your things and your body does it.
like driving a car.
