Well done man you are a real pro on the drums, you don't even have to look at them when playing. You are brilliant too. Excellent video... keep up the good work.

Couch Potato · 12 Sep 2010, 03:59

awww thanks everyone for the compliemnts, Ive been playing 7 years this month, i love it.

I honestly believe more children should be necourage into music, at a young age, through school and parents.

Get them off rhe xobox band hero thing, get them into a room learning

Steve6 · 12 Sep 2010, 04:02

I agree with that you learn things faster when you're younger, and you become a better player too. But I suppose you're never to young to start learning anything. If I started playing the drums now I'd be at the same level as you in 7 years time, and I'd only be 29.

Impressive, thanks for sharing, the lead singer has a very unusual voice, i like it !

How do you know? You might well suck, even after 7 years. Why don't you try, it will give you something to do.

I still suck. I cant play 'rock' - ie the who, etc, because I dont have a huge kit, nor do I aspore to be like Keith Moon.
My influences are Cream's Ginger Baker/Mitch Mitchell/Steve Gadd and a ton of old blues/jazzy drummer.

I learnt from playing along to records - indie music (stereophonics, oasis, travis) and progressed from there.

Do it, your never too old to learn. I give drum lessons to a 48 yr old

Oooooooh I liked that ~ thanks for sharing.

I've always wanted to play the drums, when I was about 12 I begged my mum all year for a drum kit for christmas ~ I got a clarinet

~ not quite the same!

Well you can't get worse you can only get better. I have plenty of things to keep me occupied anyway.

I'm as busy as a bee.

IMO the drums are the easiest of instruments to play. All you need is a good a beat, and perfect timing. I tried playing the piano and boy is that tough. Musical notation is not my specialty.

Couldn't disagree more on that ridiculous statement.

Ditto. Only a person who has never sat behind a drum set can say something like that.
