Hello

Hi folks,

I'm a newbie here, so I thought I had better say hello.

I am looking to get back in to drumming, after a 15 year break, so will probably have some really dumb questions in the near future.

The website is awesome by the way.

Cheers

Dominic
 
Re: Hello

Hey Domski
Welcome, we love dumb questions! This forum is just as awesome as the site! You'll see in the near future!

Re: Introduce Yourself


Age? Over 21


How long have you been playing? Since December 2005


Origin of user name? I tried to come up with a "female-sounding" name!

Top 5 drummers? Ginger Baker, John Bonham, Chris Layton, Kenny Aronoff, Steve Gadd


Make of drumkit? Wellllll, right now I am learning to play on a used Yamaha 7 pad digital drum! It's a real hoot (did I really say hoot?!)... has kick and hi-hat "pedals." I'm saving my pennies for an acoustic set. I'm so glad I didn't go out and get a really cheap kit at the beginning. I am now doing my research so I can find the right set for me. So far I'm having lots of fun learning to play. As for the research, I'm going around in circles! Hoping to get help from ya'll later.


Where do you practice? Living room, so I can play along with drum lessons on the tv.

What style of music? I enjoy a little bit of everything, but classic rock and a bit of blues are the best. I enjoy music from the following bands: Cream, CCR, Doors, Eagles, Neil Young, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Van Morrison, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin, Jeff Healey, Heart, Mary Chapin-Carpenter, Norah Jones... and lots more.


Country? USA


One really odd fact about yourself? I'm the Miss America of Odd.

How did you start drumming? I decided I'd be good at it and wanted to do it! I don't know if I will be really good someday, but I sure plan to have fun! Seriously, I do hope to become a skilled drummer... but I'm trying not to pressure myself into being perfect (and getting frustrated along the way). I can be too perfectionistic sometimes, but perfectionism and fun don't hardly mix together so well, sooooo I am trying to make sure I am having fun first, and trying to leave the pressure of perfectionism behind. I don't know if I explained that very well.


So, anywho, I've lurked here for awhile and decided to join. I think I'm addicted to this place! I'm enjoying reading as much as I can here.
