My earliest memory of drums is going over to a friend's house and his dad having a massive drum kit. This had to have been around 1990 or so. His dad would let us bang on it for a few minutes.
I've played bass guitar since I was 15 (16 years now). Sometime in high school someone showed me the most basic drum beat of all time. From there I would try to bang around on drums whenever I was at band practice. Along the way my buddy Carlin would show me stuff that I just couldn't do. LOL.
Around 2004 or so my wife (then girlfriend) bought me a Tama Swingstar kit. I still sucked. In 2006 I joined my current band as their bass player. We auditioned a few drummers and decided it would be easier to find a bass player and I would just play drums. And here we are today.
I've been in the studio twice behind the drum kit (3x as a bass player). Recorded a 4 song EP in the fall of 2011 and a single in Fall of 2012.
