Learn to play the drums

to learn and love it. I am now the proud owner of my own set so I can practise to my hearts content or until the neighbours go crazy. :D

My drum teacher is going on holiday for two weeks :( No lessons for two weeks! Well I’m going to practise my butt off so when he comes back he should be impressed…and I really am going to practise and not just say I’m going to :D

Yes I do make that noise – mostly inside my head – but wow I am SO enjoying my drum lessons.

I didn’t get a whole lot of practising done this week due to me not being well but I did enough for my teacher to be happy with me. Today we moved on to more complicated beats and at the end of the lesson he played along on his guitar as I played out the beat on the snare,bass,hi hat and top right cymbal. I love this goal :D

And it was grrr rrr rrr eat! The teacher totally put me at ease and he’s really encouraging and now I can’t wait for next week :D

today and realised I know nothing Started panicking but then realised that’s exactly why I’m going for lessons eh? Wish me luck, tomorrow is the big day.

phoned me tonight. I start my lessons next Tuesday at 6.30. He seemed a bit surprised when he asked who the lessons were for and I said me. I don’t think I’m too old to start lessons, or am I? Wee one starts her guitar lessons the same day but much earlier so look like we’ll be hanging around town on tuesdays from now on or until the teacher frightens me off. I was nervous before, now I’m brickin it :/

I moved this goal off my list 4 months ago to concentrate on other stuff and now I’ve got myself booked in for some drum lessons I can move it back on :D
I can’t begin to explain how excited I am about being let loose on a kit…well one day I will be :) and excited that finally I’m doing something for myself that I’ve wanted for a very long time.

but I just don’t have time to commit to it just now : This goal WILL return to my list.

I got a DD-55c Drum Pro drum machine for Christmas :D He did ask if I wanted the full proper drum kit but I chose this as there’s nowhere to put a whole kit but it’s great fun and I’m looking forward to getting some me time so I can get some rhythm going :D
