How did you start drumming: Well...music has always been apart of me, I moved from piano, to bass, then finally on to drums, where I have seemed to stay so far. I learned drums from a close family friend named Adam Shendal http://stevenleegroup.com/aboutslg_adam.htm

I swear Adam was born with drum sticks in his hand. It's kinda cool because he grew up with Buddy Rich, when I go into his house I see all the pictures of Buddy and him, truly inspiring. I think of Adam Shendal to be my own personal Buddy Rich. So anyways, one day, I told Adam I was interested in playing, we met one night and talked about it all. I was told that I picked up the drums quick, and that I have a natural time, hopefully that's true. :p

So I'm still practicing, always trying to get better. I plan a career in music, so I figure I better get ahead of the game.

how did you start drumming? I would have started when I was 9 when I told my mom I wanted to. she thought all boys wanted to play drums for no reason so she sent me to piano lessons and clarinet lessons. not till I after a year of playing drums at church, self-taught, did she start paying for drum lessons at age 14.
how I got my start was... one day after church, I was goofing around on the drums in the back room. the youth pastor heard me playing and told me that I was going to play that sunday. I've been playing every sunday since...
so i'm 4 years behind where my ability could be but i think im catchin' up! my mom still apologizes to me once in a while.
