Quote from: tonyp on May 27, 2011, 02:24:27 pmI taught myself how to play the drums by going out and buying a kit. A local music shop was going out of business because of some IRS problems and everything was dirt cheap. I got an excellent drum kit for like $250. It barely fit in my car.I went home, set it up and put on some AC/DC. When i could play every song from Back in Black, I moved to Billy Squier, The Police, Zeppelin, then right to Yes and Rush. About a year later my neighbor was home from college and heard me playing Rush and came over to ask me where I studied and was dumbfounded that i was self-taught. He had been playing drums since he was 10 yrs old and went to school for it in NYC. (He currently owns a Drum School) Always thought that was a great compliment.I still can't read a single note of drum sheet music but i can play anything i hear.Just do it! Check with beersk he is the pro drummer, I'm sure he has some tips!

I havent owned a kit in quite some time do to space contraints but once i move into a new house its a priority to get a small kit, after the home brewery is setup of course!
That's very cool! How long have you been playing?
My wife and I are going to Maine for 2 weeks, something we've always wanted to do but never took the time. We always spend our vacations with either hers or mine family, but for our 30th anniversary it's all about us this time.
