I don't know why, but guitarists and other truly skilled musicians have told me that they 'don't understand how' a drummer can do what they do. Whereas I think the manual dexterity guitarists are using is truly baffling, I believe the part of drumming perceived as 'hard' is the coordination of all four limbs.
But they are using ten fingers--more than twice as much coordination!
