Good luck. I know exactly how you feel. I'm 35 and started about a month or so ago. Haven't taken any lessons yet, but I know what you're saying... I played guitar back in HS and had PLENTY of bad habits... Still on the fence about lessons.
49 and started two years ago. I switch back and fourth between "I will never be 50 years old and have 49 years of drumming in my bag" and "This is a lot of fun, who knew there was so much cool stuff to learn"
I tried a two teachers before I hit on one that understood where I was coming from. I would come out of the lesson and a 12 year old would follow who is a phenom. Then a 67 year old lady would follow. It takes every kind of people.
I am really happy about my decision to start playing music and I suspect you will be too.
Good luck,
John
