Hi everyone,
Santi here. I am new to drumming. I played rhythm guitar for punk bands, nothing serious just having fun and as result got to socialize and meet many great artists.
Fast forward, I picked up the sticks and immediately fell in love with the instrument. I seeker and found a mentor/teacher and have my own studio place but lately I find myself spending more and more time rehearsing. And I actually am noticing improvement.
It doesn’t affect my work life since I am on a set schedule but my friends and family just don’t understand when I tell them I have to practice.
Has anyone have had this problem? If so what was your experience like? How did you put it into context so your loved ones understand that this is important to me. I do want to make it a side profession.
And by the way, when I say family, I am talking about parents, siblings, uncles, etc. I am single and no kids.
