It all started for me when I was in the 8-10 yrs range. I grew up with parents that liked to party and their music of choice was hard rock ( I guess we call it 80s rock now). I remember grabbing a pair of unsharpened pencils after school and start bangin away to Ozzy, Ratt, and Motley Crue.
In middle school I got into marching band and played every drum they had.
Then in high school it was the same I played bass drum, moved up to snare, and then the QUADS!
Then it was on to the symphony band where I got to play tympany and a drum kit.
I guess the kit had me hooked. It was addicting and thats all I wanted to do.
Then there was growing up. Roommates, partying, girlfriends, work, blah, blah.
I didn't have time for drums or a place to put them.
But I always knew I was a drummer deep inside.
About a 7 year break from drums, I came across a cheap CB set at a garage sale and put em in MY garage. I played on those for about 5 years off and on.
And just recently I said screw it and bought a new kit (Ludwig). Now I play every day and love it!
So I guess it was just meant to be that I get behind a drumset
