I've been lurking around here for a few months learning from all you folks -thanks- and taking weekly lessons for the last 19 months from a great teacher. It's been a cool journey so far with alot of ups and downs but I really like the drums and think it's made me a better guitar player (30 years on guitar) which was my original objective for picking up some sticks.
Anyway, I'm a regular guitar player at my local jam for 5+ years and finally got up as a drummer for the first time.
I was pretty nervous. Good players, friendly crowd but a little intimidating. I think it went pretty well though and I think I surprised some people. Nice to cross that milestone and I can't wait for another chance to play. For playing only three tunes I feel like I learned a lot from the experience. Very fired up to tackle the inevitable learning curve challenges to come. I actually believe I can do this now!
