The first album was just killer. Saw the 2016 Rock n roll hall fame with the band. The drummer was f bombing his speech.

Post in this thread if the subject makes you feel old.

 

Music cures all that. Especially if you're old and it's music you grew up with. We grew up with some awesome !@#$ing music!!

Love it!! Now I need to head home and fire up the drum kit!!!

 

You should give an instrument a try, while you're at it!!

Should I give my three year old grandson a drum kit for Christmas ?

 

 

From a life long drummer the answer is no. A drum? Yes but a kit? No. I got my first drum at probably 4 or so and my first kit at 10 or 12. And my first real set (Ludwigs) at 13 or 14 and was in a band at 14. The thing about drumming is the world is your drum. And you don't want to spend any money on a dust collector when a pair of sticks and the couch will do. Drummers unlike other musicians (and eff you Gug, we are musicians) are pretty much born, not created. I have no recollection of learning how to play a drum set.

I had a guitarist tell me once "you sweat all over because you're an animal. I sweat from my head because I play a thinkers instrument." :rolleyes:

Second everything that Chef said, Lew. No sense in getting a mini set for a three year old that he'll outgrow by the time he actually has the coordination to play a kit.

I used to follow this drum site on Facebook (hmmm where did they go/) and they posted all sorts of videos of young kids 10/11/12 etc killing it on the drums. I told them "sure, make this old man feel inadequate."

Ha, I've never really killed it in my life, so imagine how I feel since conceivably I'm at a prime age to be actually good at something. :D
