I will say that punch drumming to music is a bit of an artform. I know a lot of great baggers that just don't "feel the bag beat" and how to manipulate it to music. They can hit fast and furious, but either they can't feel the bag beat to music or they can't control it.
When I was drumming (High School), I saw several drummers that were very impressive rudimental drummers, and could play any written drum sheet music like clockwork - but they could not improvise, or ad lib on their own.
Biff, I would say "can you dance?". If you have good rhythm and are a pretty decent dancer than you can probably learn to punch drum. Feeling the beat and having a sense of rhythm is the key, and it will translate to the bag. Bag technique is secondary, for you can punch drum to music with just the Basic Rhythm, which is only two techniques. If you feel rhythm it's just learning to control it.
I'm betting you're a twisting, twirling demon on the dance floor.
