Outside of this forum, do you associate with any other drummers? Do you get together with other drummer buddies and talk shop and share ideas? Have you ever had a mentor?
The reason I ask this is because I have been playing almost a year (taking weekly lessons), but I still feel like such a newbie. I don't have any friends, let alone ones that play drums, and I'd love to be able to get around other drummers and talk shop. I'd love to have a mentor (that I didn't have to pay $30/half hour) to show me stuff and help me work on improving.
I have recently committed to a band, but I havent built up the self-confidence yet so I am very nervous about our first practice coming up next week. I wish I had more exposure to the kit (break-down, repair, fine tuning, etc) and advice from a local friend.
Thanks for your comments.
