Hello. Firstly, apologies if this is in the wrong section and thanks to the admins who validated my account so quickly!
I've loved music like most people since I can remember, but it wasn't up until my first gig which was 2 years ago now that I've taken such a stronger liking to it. From that moment on I really wanted to pick up an instrument and learn to play it. Have a talent but most importantly enjoy it. I picked up a guitar once or twice but never really got on. My cousin is a drummer and he's exceptionally talented and although I haven't seen him for a while I did go round once , had a play on his kit and everything just felt so good! But this was about a year ago and sitting here now I'm getting sick of doing nothing about what I really want to do in life. So I contacted him again recently and I've agreed to go over to his next Tuesday and I'm hoping it will be a more regular thing.
That about sums up where I am now. I was just wandering if any of you had any advice for me on the theory side of things. I don't dislike any form of drumming but my favourite bands are Arctic Monkeys, Muse, The Killers etc so that sort of pace is what I prefer. Apart from that, I completely understand as with any other instrument, the effort, time and dedication it would take but you know what, I'm 20 now and although that still may seem young to some of you, I don't want to look back in however many years and wish I started earlier. But yes if any of you have any advice on when you first started out I would appreciate it. I also will be hoping to post more on the board. Many thanks!
