Hello, I am Herman,
A few of youhave already met me in the first solo lessons, or the weekly groep sessions. So it's time to introduce myself. I am 74 years old and live with my wife on the countryside in North-East France. About 30 years ago or more I took some individual drumlessons, but the stopped. November last year I started cajon lessons online, because a friend asked me if I could play cajon. But after a few months I was longing to do the drums again. There was no place in the music school nearbye, so I did the free 'your first solo', talked with Chris and here I am.
In the week group sessions I noticed that some of you are a way ahead of me, but I will try to keep up en learn as fast as I can, and my age permits from Chris, Anna…
The second in my "giggable" portfolio. Not sure I can keep this up every 2 weeks :D
Pretty happy with this, a couple of stutters but overall I feel like I'm on the beat. For the "hard" 16ths fill at the end I've substituted in an easier version; the original track keeps this up on the high toms which I can just about manage but
is a bit more awkward to execute, and as Chris has directed me to not feel that I have to play note for note, then if I was thrown into a performance situation this is the version I would play (as unlikely as that is to happen!)
Sounding great Steve - really solid performance 💪. This definitely ready for your gigable repertoire 🤘 . Great to see the sextuplet fill in there too.

What's up buddy?? I'm Mike. I just started playing drums at 52 years old about 2 months ago. It's awesome! I look forward to it every day. I'm a disabled United States Marine from injuries sustained while on active duty to my lower body and I started playing because I decided that I wasn't just going to die and let my body fall apart I was going to do whatever I could to try to condition it. And I figured learning about bass drum pedals and things like that we're going to help me out but I wish you the best of luck. It's never too old at least that's what everybody keeps telling me
