I find this thread inspiring, as at age 41 (last year), I started playing again, after taking a 17 year break. Back in the 1990's I was young and had no clue as what the heck I was doing. And I only played two drum grooves.
Now after a year of playing (with just a snare, kick drum, hi-hat and two cymbals) along with a metronome, my goals are to start playing in a band. But, first, starting in two weeks, I'm going to sign up for a month of drum lessons.
I grew up on punk music, Misfits, Circle Jerks, Minor Threat, etc... Then, I enjoyed alternative stuff and modern rock. And now I like everything from Stiff Little Fingers (punk), to Brad Paisley (country) to Niel Young and Tom Petty. So, deciding what directions to go as a drummer, isn't going to be easy for me. Nonetheless, I'm planning to go as far as I can as a drummer. Call it a mid-life- crisis.
