Do your kids play instruments? Just being able to jam with your kids or grandkids is precious, even if you are just beginning on drums.
Get some lessons. There is no real substitute.
1. Take a couple of lesson on how to hold the sticks and some beginning exercises. Two or three should get you started and will make such a huge difference in the long run. I'm 60 and I spent my first few drumming years using/learning traditional grip (don't do that) and wasted a lot of time that I really didn't have. Went back to match and worked with a teaching friend and have made tremendous strides over the last couple of months.
I'm going to be 69 next month and tried learning guitar but my fingers and hand are small and not as flexible as they use to be, so my kids wanted to know what I wanted for Christmas so I told them the Alesis Nito Mesh kit. Now what do I do?
Do you love playing drums? I'll never forget the words of Joseph Shabalala who formed the African musical group Ladysmith Black Mambazo who appeared with Paul Simon on the Graceland album. "To be a member of this group you don't need to know how to sing. You just need to love to sing."
I like that, it reminds me of the old African proverb that says, "if you can walk you can dance, if you can talk you can sing."
So, to the OP I would say, don't worry about having little talent now, because if you can clap, you can play drums.
Just keep it mind that, while drums may be the easiest instrument to hack away on, it's the hardest one to master.
