| I started drumming in sixth grade because I wanted to play snare in the band. You had to be able to play piano to play percussion so I wanted to play percussion since no one else in the sixth grade could play piano and wanted to play percussion. I'm currently taking lessons on drumset from a great teacher, which I started because my parents bought me a drumset and I didn't know how to play it. I had played concert snare for a year before that so it felt weird to me at the time playing all the drums together. Two years later, I can now do improve rock and jazz soloing, do a Bossa Nova, and have basically become MUCH better in that time. |
