How did you start drumming - When I was around 5, I was with my dad in his truck listening to some song I can't remember, and he asked me if I've ever thought about playing an instrument, and the first one to pop in my mind was drums! So right then and there we went to the music store, bought a practice pad, and signed up for lessons.

I took lessons for 7 years after that, for for the past 5 (going on 6) years, I've been on my own teaching myself new things.
