Hello my name is brandon, I live in pittsburgh pa and just started to just back into drumming. I guess what im really looking for is some advice and guidance. I am 20 years old and I do not have much history on a drumset, however all throughout highschool I played percussion for our symphonic band, drumline, and percussion ensemble. I do not think that lessons would really be nessicary considering I have chops and know how to read music. I have recently purchased a drumset I just feel stuck because I am not really sure where to start, I suppose im a little overwhelmed. As for my skill level it is nothing impressive , but for never touching a set I do not think it is half bad. I can play song from red hot chili peppers, system of a down, acdc, some metallica...etc, basic stuff like that. I can also do basic beats with a double bass pedal.( triplets, and 16ths at about 125 bpm comfortably). I was thinking maybe there were some educational dvds or books that can help me develop myself as a percussonist. My goal is to play at the next guitar center drumoff(take into consideration i have almost 3-5 hours a day I can practice and im not expecting to win I just want to challenge myself. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
p.s I am slightly worried that maybe Im to old to start up and eventually get to a good playing level
thanks
