Boo, it sounds like you're a little closer to my age. At least this forum is balanced out. That's cool.

Im turning 40 this year and I still play like Im 25. I love hard rock and alternative music. But listen to all styles of music. Doing this will help with over all playing and not being one sides in music. I started at age 16

I started playing in 1982, then switched to congas and other percussion in 1996. Started playing a kit again in 2002.

hmmf im 12!! yay for younger youngers!! muahahaha
7 years of playing, but the first couple years kinda went to waste cuz when i was 5,6, and 7 i didnt really want to learn, and i did nothing right.. so i've pretty much been acctually "playing" the drums for 4 years, but taking lessons for 7. :icon_eek:

this is pretty off topic but it has to do with years playing and yeah the other day at my lesson my teacher asked what my other teacher taught me cause i have a new teacher now and i told him he didnt teach me much cept outa a book and he's like well we'll go back to the basics then because earlier he had just been teaching me songs and stuff like that and i was like ok i've only been playing for 6 months so thats fine and he was like wow i thought you've been playing for at least 2 years you had me fooled.... so yeah that made me feel somewhat good

Been playing my 4-piece Slingerland Capri Pearls since 1963. Guess I'm the old guy so far.

Uh oh...it's 9:30 .... I gotta pee and go to bed...hopefully, in that order.
