DRUMMERS: Advice for a beginner

i don't believe you need calluses btw -- my tender tiny ladyhands are soft and smooth. Muscle strength in fingers/hands/wrists/forearms absolutely but calluses not required imo/ime

If you look at the dates of those two posts you will see that my time is impeccable. Nailed it within less than a week!

and yeah i am 100% positive you could sit down to play no problem if you had played in the past

it was timely because i bump on my birthday every year ;)

the only reason i posted late this week was bc work hijacked my birthday
i take my development extremely seriously!

happy birthday!

thanks!
i'm 7
i feel like i am getting old! that is why i asked if i get to graduate to low-intermediate at this point

or maybe i have to wait til i'm 12 or 13 to go to junior high

i mean i am kidding about asking permission
mostly i am curious where other drummers were at 7

for old time's sake, my original post itt
look at me now

in 2 hours i am going to pick up my very first drum set. i have convinced myself +/- that i am not too old or too stupid. i finally have time and a basement and in 2 hours i will have some drums of my own, if this transaction doesn't somehow get screwed up. for a while i was looking for approval to go ahead and do this, but soon enough it became evident that i was just being a chicken. now i'm just going to finally see what i can teach myself in my oodles of spare time. this is one of the most self-indulgent things i have ever done in my life and i just have to get over that because i think it will be super fun and also good for my general health.
