Getting back to playing drums...kind of

I used to play (if it can be called that) drums when I was at school in London but then stopped for about ten years. Last month I decided to give it another go so I signed up with Donn Bennett drum school to learn how to play drums, properly. For those who think it is as easy as hitting a stick on a surface, you have no idea. It is damn hard! You need good sustained coordination between arms and legs (often one arm with opposite leg) in order to play anything that remotely sounds like music and that is very hard. I am finding the drumming experience super useful to train my brain about better coordination between my arms and legs and getting physically balanced……

I have my eye on this set as soon as I could convince a few folks including Ruby and the whole neighborhood to allow me play at home……

I was in the same boat as you, except I haven't played seriously for about 20 years. My Tama Superstar acoustic set was long gone.
I was doing a CRM implementation, and the VP of Sales had a bunch of sticks and mallets on his credenza, we got to talking and he said the same thing. However, he recently purchased a Roland electronic kit, and was raving about it. I just picked up a TD-3sw off of eBay and love it. My wife and neighbors do too!
