Scott Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Growing up I had a friend who was part of a family dance hall band. His Aunt was my music teacher in school and kind of coached me into it. I played for a few years but stopped due to life getting in the way of dreams of making it. Now I am just getting back into drums and music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I loved the drums since I was 5, my parents used to take me to church and there was an orchestra. From the first time I saw the drums I was so amazed. Since then I always wanted to play but my parents couldn't afford that amount of money neither wanted to get me a kit so I waited until I had my own salary and here I am now, having my own kit. In the meantime I've learned how to beat box Haha almost every song I heard I was tapping the rhythm on my leg or something. Sometimes I hate the fact I have to go to sleep because that means to let the drumsticks down Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I just retired after selling my business and at 58 I'm ready to learn something new. My best friend who seems to be able to play any instrument suggested I learn to play the drums. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I played a few instruments when I was younger but never really dedicated myself the way I should have. Trumpet and tuba in school band. Electric guitar as a teen and then again as an adult. Tried the e-drums as well as an adult. Life never really let me pursue music, and I didn't push myself enough. 2 years ago at age 51, and because of the support of my girlfriend I got back into it when I purchased a Yamaha DTX403(I think is the model). Then a friend of mine gave me the PDP kit that was in his storage. Figured out self teaching wasn't working because I didn't know what I was doing anyway, so I came here. Absolutely love playing the drums because I'm a fidget-er and the complexity of drums helps that. I've always liked things that kept me moving and kept my mind occupied. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
