Drums...

drums and music are HUGE in my life... i dont think i could live without them... i've been playing drums for about 11 years and i've gotten 2 the point where i can play ALMOST anything.

When i wuz little my mom told me about music and how much it's included in life, even when u dont even no it... So i started listening 2 rock music, classical music, country, and other genres...
and of course my favorite music wuz rock...

SO, the thing about rock music that i really liked wuz the drums, so i asked for lessons...

My first drum teacher wuz actualy the backup drummer 2 the carpenders (u young ppl might not no who they r, but they where a very popular duet [brother and sister])
so we got 2 work and he taught me basic rock beats and sum jazz stuff...

THEN i had 2 move down here 2 Texas, and i didnt get lessons for a while but i still played by myself...

later at brookemays music store i found a drum teacher who seemed 2 stutter ALOT! but he wuz really fun and really kool...

Then he had 2 leave for a different music store and i got a new drum teacher who wuz pretty kool 2.... THEN HE LEFT!!!!

so after that i played by myself for about 3 years until my mom told me that a guy from her collage played drums and wuz really good!.... so i went 2 c how he wuz and apperently i've been holding the stick wrong, playing sum things a different way, and other wrong stuff... SO basicaly i've been playing wrong stuff for about 10 years, so now i've got the right stuff down...

Steve Farrel is that teacher and he still is... he is SO kool and my main man... he is SO funny and kids around about how he's waiting for my sister 2 get 2 collage so he can date her!

Now i'm in praise band in skool and like i said earlier, i can play jst bout anything and i'm hoping 2 get better...
