Another really good thing about the drums (especially for us mid 30somethings going on 16) who are not as tight around the middle as they would like to imagine they once were, is that it is cool physical exercise !! Also Im doing it to tighten up my rhythm and timing, you know focus on your weakest bits and all that, as opposed to nurturing the sociopath with in me (that is a reference to hitting things by the way !!!!!! Eeeek !).
I am really enjoying it !
