I started playing drums in July, the
very first instrument of any type that I've attempted to play. With
no prior knowledge of reading or playing music and barely knowing
each part of the drum kit I began taking lessons. Lets get this
straight; there's beginners... and then there's me, way down below
beginner level. Within the first month I was sitting at my drum kit,
blurry eyed from tears, staring at my snare drum sheet music I taped
to my crash cymbal. In that month I also learned simple beats,
including a bass snare bass snare rhythm
that is very basic but used a lot, excited I listened for it in every
song on my play list or radio. With this, I persevered knowing that
"anything worth having doesn't come easy."
