    Re: drummers who play for themselves

    I doubt that I'll ever play in a band, that wasn't my intent when I started. I enjoy playing for myself and playing in drum circles. Anything else will be just what comes down the road.

    Re: To old to make it as a drummer

    I didn't start playing until after 50. I figure, as long as I can grab a drum or pick up a stick, I'm good to go.
