Re: INTRODUCTIONS - Please use this thread to introduce yourself

Hi everyone, I've been reading a few topics recently, but only just joined today. So, hi. It's exciting to be in a community full of other drummers. Hopefully I'll learn a lot from you guys. :)

real name? Audrey
age? 13
how long been playing? Since I was eight, so five years.
origin of user name? It's my nick-name.
top 5 drummers? Neil Peart, Jon Hiseman (I had a lesson with him!), Billy Cobham, Tony Royster Jr and Buddy Rich I suppose.
make of drumkit? PDP.
make of cymbal? Zildjians, Wuhan and Paiste.
where do you practice? At home, in the top room of my house. :)
are you in a band/s? Yes and I love it more than anything.
covers or originals? Both, mainly originals.
what style of music? Funk, Rock, Blues, whatever, experimental. I'm still eager to learn more styles.
favourite take out food? Indian.
country? United Kingdom.
one really odd fact about yourself ? I can't think of one really..
how did you start drumming? Well.. basically.. my older sister got me into rock when I was about five. I always loved it, so I started off learning the guitar. Which is pretty typical.
Then.. I was shit at guitar to be honest. Mind you I was a seven year old girl, lol. When I was about eight some guy up the road I heard was a drummer and my family knew him quite well. So my mum asked if I'd like a drum lesson with him. I said yes.
From the moment I stepped on his drum-kit and banged a few drums, learned my first beat etc, it was all I wanted to do. It still is. I then took a rock music course thing, really great experience. It got me even more into it, my first experience playing in a rock band was at nine and I loved it. So I carried on doing courses, playing in bands etc.
Today I'm in a band which I love more than anything, and I never want to leave it. Drums will always be my main focus in my career, I reckon.

How did you start drumming? A friend of mine called me up and told me he was jamming in a studio near by my house, he knew I'd be excited coz I've always been interested in music and drumming. I go over there, get in the room and I see this badass white Pearl kit just sitting there like a freaking beast, so after 30 minutes of just gazing at the drum set, amazed at the intensity and power of the drums, they take a break and the drummer hands me his drum sticks. So I get behind the kit, figured out which drum sounded like what then the guitarist was playing the intro to the song Ariels by System of a Down. So I was like "Oh yeah this is the part where it goes *Boom boom boom boomb boomb boomb boomb/PISH* then I just played the beat, just like that, so we just went at it through the whole song (That sounded dirty didnt it?) I was so excited at that point I didnt even notice the rest of the band members enter the room.

Hi all,
My name is Paul and renovate and deal in vintage drums of all types.
I would just like to say a big hello and start to read/ participate in your forum.
I hope i am introducing myself in the correct manner and if i do anything incorrectly hope that you will put me right and point me in the right direction.
Thanks all and looking forward to this forum.
 
Re: hey im new (to Lee loves Sabian)

Question:
Are you a Sabian man, Zildjian man, or Paiste man?

Good Question, but we're not all men here. I'm a K. Zildjian woman. I do have a great A. Zildjian set of hi-hats, and an old ride cymbal that I adore. But I use my dark K. Zildjian and cool splash more. 1 sabian, so-so, Paistes are nice most of the time, but they're pricey, you know? I have one pretty raucous Wuhan - for special occasions. ;-)

OK, back to our previously scheduled drumming 24/7.....
