Ok, so I’m officially gonna start taking lessons to play the drums!
I have to call a few of the teachers who’ve been offered up to me, but the bottom line is that I’m finally going for it!!!
I’m excited.
What’s funny is my long time friend (my e-friend, since we’ve never met in person, we’ve only emailed for probably the last 3 years or so) Johnny P send me this link to a kick ass drum set on ebay. How did he know? :) I don’t think I’ll be buying my own set for awhile.. but if I did – look at this one – it’s RED!!!
Johnny P has been an inspiration, because he has been teaching himself the drums for a couple years (?) now – and it goes w/o saying he loves watching the drummers in bands just as much as I do. Last Thanksgiving he even sent me this awesome video with a tour of his studio (and a camio of his kitty, Charlotte is in there, too!). He was kinda making a spoof from a goofy video I’d done of myself where I was filming myself doing a sound check on my Nikon camera.
Anyway – Johnny’s awesome – and it’d be sweet to have a house where I could have my own mini lil’ studio and jam on the drums on Thanksgiving morning :)
I showed Rick the link to the drum set Johnny emailed me and he was like, “aawww shiit, It’s STARTING!”
Rick plays guitar, so we talk “guitar talk” quite a bit – and he’s taught me a lot about what the guitarists we see are playing and such. And he’s in the market for a new electric guitar, too. So I think he’s psyched I’ll actually be starting to talk gear talk with him more. That and he’ll have lots of new ideas for gifts :) hahaa
Let the fun begin!
