I mentioned Bill Stewart in my previous post. I never get tired of watching this.

@noromance : "
Better to fail trying to succeed than regret not trying and die." You mean I'll die if I don't try playing the drums? ;-) Seriously, I agree with you. It doesn't mean we should try everything that pops into our heads...........but I think if it is something we have wanted to do a long time and it has the potential to be constructive, useful....or even character building then it is worthwhile. And failure can surely be character building. @stringreen : The music store that has the kit offers 4 lessons a month for $100 dollars a month. That is pretty cheap. |
I've been playing music professionally since 1967, and although I'm primarily a guitarist-singer-songwriter-bass player, I LOVE to play drums...drummer gets up and I sneak behind that kit...had a rehearsal space under my house in Hawaii for years and my keyboard player and I would get high and jam endlessly. Drums are the ultimate coordination test, and if you can, PLAY THEM. Fun, fun, fun...who cares how old you are? I don't have space for a kit where I live now, but if I did I'd absolutely use 'em. I know a singer-guitar player who was pretty good...opened some shows I mixed...I ran an outdoor jazz series one summer and he shows up with a jazz group and he's playing drums at a mind blowingly high level...just kicked it. Too cool... |
