Drums and drumming. Been playing music with drums and other things for more than half my life. I'm 32 and I started into the world of percussion when I was 12. Elementary school, time to pick an instrument kids, what do you want to play? Uh, drums I guess. Had a knack. Learn things quickly. Remember lessons, playing rudiments. Later in Jr High and beyond the old concert instruments that had been kicking around since who knows when, the tympani, the chimes, huge bass drum. Then marching band too, playing snare drum as a freshman, unheard of. Private lessons with Dale Ginder, a total drum corps guy living with his parents in his 40's, playing rudiments, rudiments, sticking patterns. Sticking patterns!
