"Mommy, I want to play the drums."
That's how it starts. First, you get into the little two-drum drum kit, then the problems start with the full on hard rock kit. As you might have guessed, I play the drums, and I am going to be telling you a little bit about them.
I have been playing the drums since I was 7 years old, and I have loved it ever since. Like a lot of other things, I look up to people who are great at what they do.I look up to a lot of drummers, including my own drum teacher Mike Emson. Mike specialises in guitar, but he is a great drummer as well. I also look up to some of the greatest drummers of all time, like Keith Moon, John Bonham and Neil Peart. All of those drummers are amazing, I hope to be like them when I get older. I find that as I get more experienced as a drummer, the more fun it becomes to play them.
One of the main reasons I enjoy drumming, is because the sound of the drums. I have always enjoyed listening to drums, and trying to figure what drums can make what sounds. I also love the feeling you get when you I play the drums, it just feels so natural and great sounding. Another great reason for playing the drums is that you can take all your anger out on them. And the best part is, is that it still sounds great!!! I enjoy playing the drums for many reasons, and those are a few of them.
The drums are an excellent instrument that are very fun to play, so if your parents don't mind the noise, then I would really recommend playing the drums.
Life Lesson: The drums are a lot of fun to play, but make sure you wear ear plugs.
