Hi! I'm new and since I can find hardly find any ladies on here I thought I'd step up to the plate. I just started drumming and am playing on a cheapy starter set. The cymbals are obnoxious but I am taking up a collection to get some Sabian or Paiste's if anyone's interested in contributing! (hee hee) I truly LOVE this instrument! BTW, I threw in that pic of my broken wrist (I took a fall while riding back in July) because for some in sane reason shortly after that I decided to pursue my long time desire to pick up the drums even though I just had a metal plate and 6 screws inserted into my wrist! Go figure! Anyway, I've decidid that my new motto is "Drumming: Cheaper that therapy and Way More Funner!" Rock On!
