I know this is a stupid question and I'm not trying at all to pad my post count but....do any of you drummers ever think that there comes a time in a person's life when they're too old to seriously start playing drums?
Also, some of you know that I was born with Cerebral Palsy & Hydrocephalus. I now have developed arthritis in my back & legs. Is playing drums a fairly good exercise for keeping any pain that arises at a minimum? Will drumming affect the arthritis in any way or vice-versa as I grow older (I'm currently 39 and just now seriously being bitten by the drum bug after seeing some friends' Ludwig blue sparkle drum kits they've built as a tribute to their favorite drummer and mine, Ronnie Tutt)??
