I played percussion from 4th grade until I graduated high school. I never practiced though so I always got stuck playing the bass drum and cymbals. But damn did I put my heart and soul into those instruments.

I'm currently saving up for a Ludwig kit with a 26 bass drum. Going to be loud when I play gigs. Only Question is Gold or Champagne sparkle?

Ive been playing my whole life. Was always in me. didnt have a kit at my house until maybe 9 years ago though. Ive got a growing collection though including a few djembes, one of which is the most prized possession i own.


Having a rough time though, unable to play, it's fucking shitty. I'm gonna give the kit a try tomorrow. Trying to play my djembe made me want to cry.

Yup. I'm on the University of Washington drumline. I'm also going out for a snare spot with the cascades drum corps this summer. Final round of auditions is this weekend, I hope I dont get cut.

I play set too... I mostly just play along to tower of power songs when I have an hour to kill hahah. I'd get more serious about it if I had a group to play with.
