Hi Meytal,
My life long dream since i was a kid was to be able to play drums. I’m 40 years of age and finally was in a position to buy a set of
drums from a neighbor who had some in an auction.So i purchased them about five months ago.I frequent the internet for tips and such
for beginner’s and was lucky enough to stumble across you!! I love music passionately,and the way you play the songs on your video
is mind blowing for me! Not to mention almost all the one’s I’ve watched are some of most favorite bands..To me ,your style of playing
in 1 word,would be,,AMAZINGGG!!! Just thought I would let you know that even though you probably get told that everyday.
So I was wondering if you would have any helpful hints for me in getting started,,a late start in bangging on my drums!
Would love for you to drop me a line with some tip’s, website’s or personal email address!! So you know,,Im no stalker or anything of that sort! I’m married with 3 wonderful boy’s who are my world! The youngest want’s to play the drum’s as well..the middle wants the guitar!!
You rock GIRL!! LOVE IT! Thanks for your time,,Chris!
