i give drum lessons, a good book to start with is Joel rothmans mini-book of monster drumming, start off slow, its fun to play fast but slow builds skill, fast builds memory, i taught myself how to play and i thought that was more fun than lessons would be,i give lessons to these to kids who have no idea what they r doing, lol

Ah. Drums...I guess they're hard if you aren't co-ordinated. *shrug* I just have real bad timing...o.O;
I'm like "How can I practice if I haven't got the gear? What's the point of drum lessons if I haven't got a drum or a metronome??" and mum's all "Well, I'd buy them for you if I had more money"...LIKE WTF. If she didn't have much money, then she shouldn't get me the lessons...-_-;

well im defintately taking lessons (my dad is making me) lol, but im getting a lot of shit from my cuzin about being a girl drummer Confused


girl drummers rock! donna C is an awesome drummer. the chick from kittie is a good drummer as well. just dont get put down by other people and beat the shit out of your drums. and learn to keep time lol


I'm female and I've been playing since I was 14, I'm 22 now- I'm a stronger drummer than many of the male drummers around here.
I hate the term 'chick'...women put themselves down too much, you can do whatever you want....as long as you want it.
