GAS is highly contagious and addicting. You have been warned.
Hi all,
Been lurking a while as my son and I were both interested in starting drums, but now that we have had our first lesson I thought I would "officially" join the forum. My oldest son really got into music, mainly hard rock and metal, around 9-12 months ago. He was constantly "air drumming" to the songs and when I asked him what instrument he would like to play he instantly replied drums. Luckily enough I work with a guy who has played and taught drums for years, so after a few conversations we set up lessons. I have always been interested in drums as well, so I asked if I could tag along and learn too. We had our first lesson yesterday and it was a blast. We both walked out of it hooked on the instrument and looking forward to practicing at home. As an added bonus, we came across a like new set of Yamaha Stage Customs (our instructor's band mate had them). We are picking them up today, so we will have a kit to practice on as well as a practice pad.
I just want to say that this forum has already been a huge help. I picked up a ton of information on different kits to look for used, what to stay away from, and also learned what GAS meant . So there you have it, hopefully the start of a long journey for my son and I with drumming.

Welcome, both of you, to DC and the world of drumming!
GAS can mean a couple different things. Gear Acquisition Syndrome and the other obvious meaning, which offends certain family members....
....Spending money that the wife says you aren't supposed to spend. What did you think I meant??

Welcome to the family.
Drumming can be an extremely enjoyable and rewarding discipline.
Like golf and marriage, it can also be frustrating and expensive.
You will get out of it what you put into it...................enjoy !

Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!
"I think that feeling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts." ~ John Bonham
