Re: Starting over at age 43 1/2 (but who's counting?)
Who's counting, John? Welcome aboard, man!
I began studying drumming in 1984, at age 32! That was 25 years ago, when most of my drumming buddies from high school had gone on to other interests.
As pastor_bob noted, I had the itch to play drums, but didn't seriously start scratching it until then! Some of the best drummers--and fastest learners--in this forum are those who started relatively late in life...
but as a friend of mine from my radio days used to say, "it's never too late to start and it's always too soon to quit."
(By the way, old doc yak, if you need a conga player for that band, this kid of 57 is ready to jam...)
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
