Good Evening All
Well its has been some time since i have accessed this drummers haven and im glad to see it going strong as ever.
Its been about 3 years since i last played with my band and not really done much since. However i played a 10 cover song gig for a mates wedding and it felt good and have met some very cool musical types since who have started to rekindle the fond memories i had behind my kit.
The practice session for the gig really showed up how rusty i was. Dropping sticks, fluffing up basic rock beats...stuff i could have done in my sleep 3 years ago.
But feels good going back to basics now...with a stick pad and a bass drum pad...plus i now have a spare room in my house for a silenced drum kit!!! (at the sacrifice of moving back in with the 'rents though...urgh!) =)
Anyway i wondered if anyone here has ever had to start again due to unforseeable circumstances or any other reason for that matter, and how you did it? What gave you your motivation and passion back?
For me it was seeing other people passionate about their music and instrument (i know a lot of guitarists) and thinking that should be me again!!! Also simlply listening too and feeling the drum beats in my favorite songs thinking i would love to play that...practice and i can i tell myself!!
