New Drummer

Hey,

New drummer here! I always wanted to play the drums but never had the opportunity to get a kit. I bought a cheap electronic kit and after playing for a year am in a fairly average band! Here's hoping I can invest in an acoustic kit when I move house to the edge of town next year Smile

Hi Guyster,

I'new on here as well, but I'm an old drummer. Welcome to the site.

Welcome, and here's to really hoping for an accoustic as well! It's like driving a real car versus a video game. Doesn't mean your car will be faster (ie sound better) in real life, but a lot more fun, and necessary at some stage in your progression as a drummer.

I'm 35 years old, so fairly old in the grand scheme of things Smile

As for the acoustic, I use an acoustic to practice with the band and to gig (well for my only gig anyway), but at home to practice it's the crappy old electronic kit. I already know the pleasure of playing a proper kit and always have a big grin when playing the real thing instead of whacking some black rubber pads
