Hey guys, I have recently been getting bored while playing the drums in the past week or two. I am only 13 years old and I have been playing for as my best guess nearly two years. I had lessons when I was about 8 years old for under a year but stopped because I was so young and it was hard for me to concentrate when I just wanted to go and climb trees and all that good stuff. I have been extremely into my drumming for the past year and just completely obsessed. I was playing for hours a day for around three months and then started to play 2 hours a day for about a month and now I have just lost all motivation to play and I have gone down to an hour or less a day. I know I still want to drum, as my dream is to play in a band but I need to know if it is normal to go through stages that bore you like this. Have I just flooded myself with so much drumming that I am burnt out on it a bit? Please tell me if you have ever been through a stage like this and what you did to get back into things. I have been playing along to tracks and trying to make a lot of things myself. I have not been doing any lessons because of holidays and I have not been doing anything with the school band because of holidays also, could that be a factor?
Thank you if you made it to the end of this.
