Remembering when I first learned to play drums...
My father is a drummer, but contrary to popular belief, I didn't learn from my father...I learned from the owner's son of the drum and majorette corps my sister was a part of at the time. He and I'd meet in the evening, just outside of a school, where he taught me how to play. I was so new to playing, I didn't even know how to read music. Through a great deal of persistence on his part, he managed to teach me all the group's cadences solely through memorization.
It wasn't until a couple years later that I'd take official drum lessons from our local music shop, where I finally learned how to read music. 🥁😎
