Good morning all!
I just want to say a quick hello to everyone and say thanks for letting me join the forum.
Bit of background for those that care about that sort of thing, I'm currently 33 years old and I've only ever sat behind a drum kit 2-3 times in my life, but since the age of about 10, I've been fascinated by drums.
Having grown up with a family that listened to Hard Rock/ Heavy Metal, I've loved listening to some of the greats for pretty much my entire life.
But the one memory that stands out as the "I want to play Drums" moment was the first time me and my old man sat down and listened to The Great Southern Trendkill by Pantera. After playing that album once, I said I wanted to be a drummer.
Queue high school/work, beer and girlfriends and sheer lack of enthusiasm to do anything other that the before mentioned, I never followed through on my dream. Unless you count playing along on my legs or the steering wheel of the car.
Now, Corona Virus comes and due to lack of space for an Electronic Kit, I choose to buy a guitar and attempt to learn and I soon realise that it just isn't for me at all. Much regret there as you can imagine.
So I'm at a point now where I'm about to buy a practice pad and a stand and some sticks, just to fill the need to tap away on something other than myself haha!
I will say, I'm not really interested in playing in a band as such, I will (If I ever buy a full kit) only be playing for the enjoyment of playing.
I'm now in a position where I want to fully immerse myself in the world of drumming, so if anyone has any tips/videos to watch/ things to practice, any and all information will be greatly appreciated!
Again, thankyou for letting me join and I hope to be around for a while, learning from you all!
Cheers, Adam.
