Post Reply New Topic

just wondering if anyone else here plays..I have only recently started after tryin a friends rock band 3 went right through to pro mode expert on all but the insane songs

I havent tried them since I was a little kid and not allowed to play the set I had, or had the guts to ask to try someone elses..or go in the store

I dont read music ...and play by ear

anyone with an electric drum kit?

I'm not good at playing actual drums. My dad used to play and we've always had a set.

I'm good at makeshift drumming stuff though for some reason. Drumsets just have too many parts to think of at once. Bewildering.

I taught myself how to play the bongos, and learned how to play the djembe from a Senegalese griot.

Yeah, I play. Started when I was 6 and am now 38 -- so on and off for more than 30 years? Enjoy playing everything: classical/symphonic, rudimental/marching, jazz, rock, funk, etc., etc., etc. Live in an apartment, so no "real" drums at home -- just electronic pads, which I'm not crazy about. Real drums only, though, when I play out.

Any specific questions, let me know. Good luck!

you have the basic drive and some family genes which are in your favor. musical talent runs in the family, so if your dad had it, chance are high that you have it as well. the fact that you like drumming and find yourself doing it spontaneously on various objects, is another sign. as long as you can pass the basic reflex complexity tests [patting head and circling tummy, then effortlessly switching between the two] then you are all set, and just need a decent teacher who is not an egomaniac. btw i always failed the reflex tests. but i can recognize budding talent in other people.

Yea, really dont want to po the neighbors!
I'll never go extreme on e drums, (ie roland or yamaha) way too $$
I was concidering this set (yes I like the look) for practice

not a kit no, but fudo has drummed for many years..

Used to. You'd be amazed how many people want to buy your drums when they hear them (Ludwig Accent, but hey, they were 'real' drums). I'm not sure how I was supposed to take that...

I do every Friday afternoon during the Jam Session at my clubhouse.
