I started with the piano and studied classical music for 15 years. Then work and children came along. In my free time I started tap dancing - loved it! I got to create rhythms and melodies with my feet. My daughter then took up the drums and became the drummer of a death metal band. She has moved away but left her drums behind (she can no longer play due to a wrist injury). So I sat down at her well-used set and decided to give it a try. I'm finding it an excellent challenge. This love for percussion also has me playing in an amateur concert band.
